title: Interim removable partial dentures: two case reports.
abstract: For the partially edentulous patient, an interim denture can provide acceptable short-term function and esthetics by replacing missing teeth and tissues until a definitive restoration can be performed. This article presents two cases that required interim removable partial dentures to maintain function, phonation, and esthetics until clinical conditions allowed for the fabrication of definitive dentures.
