title: Protection of recent extraction sites when fabricating immediate acrylic interim fixed restorations.
abstract: Protection of all soft tissues is an early and integral component of the total treatment plan involving any dental restoration. A procedure is presented to provide protection of recent extraction sites by using adhesive Burlew foil when making an immediate fixed restoration. The foil provides protection, at the extraction site, from both mechanical and chemical irritation.
