title: The modification of interim cylinders for the fabrication of cement-retained implant-supported provisional restorations.
abstract: This article describes a technique for modification of metal interim cylinders and their use in the fabrication of cementable implant-supported provisional restorations. This chairside technique allows for direct provisionalization of single or multiple implants during or after second-stage surgery, especially when there is a high esthetic demand.
