title: Provisional prosthodontic appliances in the combination fixed-removable reconstruction.
abstract: Various combination fixed-removable prostheses have been presented. The construction of the combined provisional prostheses permits the clinician to establish the desired occlusal harmony, esthetics, and jaw relationships, as well as optimal management of the patient. The provisional template allows the clinician to determine patient reaction and response prior to construction of the definitive prostheses. This leads to better clinician-patient rapport and patient satisfaction. Also, it minimizes postinsertion adjustments.
