title: IMRA: Immediate maxillary replacement appliance for anterior teeth.
abstract: When faced with the need for emergency replacement of anterior teeth, the problem for dentists and their patients is how can lost teeth be replaced quickly? Laboratory-fabricated replacement appliances require significant time and expense, not to mention an extended period, during which the patient remains edentulous. This report describes a procedure to construct an immediate, low-cost replacement for one or more missing anterior teeth-one that requires no laboratory time. The resulting appliance is meant only as a stop gap and does not support chewing; but it does offer an esthetically pleasing, removable prosthesis that provides phonetic and lip support during the short time necessary to fabricate and place a permanent prosthesis.
