title: Interim esthetic restorations in conjunction with anterior implants.
abstract: This article describes 2 procedures that can be used to provide acceptable anterior esthetics from the time of extraction, through implant placement and uncovering, until the completed implant-supported and retained crown is inserted. The first procedure presents a simple treatment option to prevent esthetic embarrassment immediately after implant placement. The second procedure uses a claspless, acrylic resin temporary removable partial denture to overcome many of the esthetic problems attendant with immediate replacement.
