Fixed Temporary Dental Prosthesis

What it is

The fixed temporary prosthesis is a temporary prosthesis in acrylic resin or composite screwed onto the implants within 24-48 hours of the procedure. It serves to guarantee immediate chewing and protect the implants during osseointegration, being replaced after about 6 months by the definitive prosthesis.

The fixed temporary dental prosthesis is a temporary prosthesis made of acrylic resin or composite, which is screwed or cemented onto the dental implants immediately after the surgical procedure. It serves to guarantee the patient an immediate chewing and to protect the implants during the osseointegration phase.

The temporary prosthesis is replaced after a predetermined period (generally 6 months) by the definitive prosthesis. For the Bilateral Sinus Solution™ (BSS) technique, this period is sufficient to obtain the full osseointegration and the stabilisation of the soft tissues.

Materials

The temporary prostheses are made of PMMA acrylic resin (cheap, workable in a few minutes, duration 6-12 months) or composite (more resistant, duration 1-2 years). Both are screwed onto the implants and do not require fake gum in the BSS technique.

The temporary prostheses are made of:

• PMMA acrylic resin: cheap, workable in a few minutes, duration 6-12 months
• Composite: more resistant, duration 1-2 years

Both are screwed onto the implants and, in the BSS technique, do not require fake gum.

Functions

The functions of the temporary prosthesis include: ensuring immediate chewing with soft foods, protecting the implants during osseointegration from overloads, maintaining the gingival morphology (emergence profile) and the prosthetic space, allowing normal phonetics and preserving the aesthetics of the smile during the 6 months of healing.

The functions of the temporary prosthesis include:

• Guaranteeing immediate chewing with soft foods
• Protecting the implants during osseointegration from overloads
• Maintaining the gingival morphology (emergence profile) and the prosthetic space
• Allowing normal phonetics
• Preserving the aesthetics of the smile during the 6 months of healing

Role in BSS

In the Bilateral Sinus Solution™ (BSS) the temporary prosthesis plays a fundamental role: it is applied within 24-48 hours in immediate loading, without fake gum, maintains the gingival morphology for 6 months and prepares the bed for the definitive Circolare d'Autore® zirconia-ceramic prosthesis.

In the Bilateral Sinus Solution™ (BSS) the temporary prosthesis plays a fundamental role:

• It is applied within 24-48 hours with immediate loading
• Without fake gum
• It maintains the gingival morphology for 6 months
• It prepares the bed for the definitive Circolare d'Autore® prosthesis in zirconia-ceramic

The Circolare d'Autore® prosthesis

• 14 teeth per arch, including all posterior molars
• Zero fake gum: the teeth emerge from the natural gum
• Zirconia + layered ceramic, with registered trademark ®
• Custom-made: every prosthesis is a unique piece designed for the patient
