Abstract
- It has been reported that for implants to become osseointegrated, they must heal in the absence of functional loads for 4 to 6 months. The provisional implants were designed to support provisional restorations and to allow for load-free osseointegration of definitive implants, while the was provided with immediate esthetic and function. In addition, the provisional implant protects graft site. Also the provisional implant provides anchorage for orthodontic treatment and reconstructs vertical dimension in edentulous condyle fracture to practice functional therapy. The provisional implant system is a sound and economical method to achieve patient's immediate masticatory and esthetic function. Three cases are presented to document and illustrate the clinical application.
