title: Intraoral registration coping formation using an interim restoration as a matrix.
abstract: An intraoral procedure for registration coping fabrication is described. The indirectly constructed shell of the interim fixed partial denture is used as a matrix, and a light-cured resin is added directly to form the copings. The proposed technique reduces the total number of clinical sessions and can be useful in cases when tooth preparations and final impressions can be completed at the same appointment.
