Immediate fixed partial dentures.
This technique offers immediate fixed partial denture replacement of dentition lost in either an anterior or posterior location. It allows modification of the preextraction tooth or the diagnostic wax-up. Because the provisional restoration is made indirectly, the extraction site is not contaminated. Postoperative comfort and function for the patient is achieved.
