[Complete bridge on osseointegrated fixtures avoiding a temporary complete denture].
The possibility of placing fixtures between periodontically compromised teeth enables the immediate conversion from a fixed prosthesis supported by natural abutments to a temporary one supported by osseo-integrated fixtures. During the second surgical stage, the bridge on natural teeth is removed, the abutments are placed on the osseo-integrated fixtures and a new temporary bridge is prepared out of acrylic resin and gold cylinders screwed on the titanium abutments after the extraction of the residual teeth. The temporary bridge is realised for one side of the arc and then the other in order to control at all time the occlusion as well as the cosmetic aspect of the bridge. This approach avoids the passage by a mobile denture, shortens the healing period from 18 to 6 months and enables the prosthodentist to foresee the potential problems with the permanent fixed prosthesis.
