A technique has been presented for the fabrication of a sectional interim maxillary obturator with retention augmented by a magnet. A tonogram revealed a 32 per cent decrease in hypernasality during speech when the prosthesis was worn (Fig. 12). The positive locking and continuous retentive quality of the prosthesis provided by the magnet permitted normal speech and mastication as well as an improved psychologic state during a very trying rehabilitation period.

A discussion of the rationale and requirements of the provisional restoration in fixed prosthetic dentistry has been presented. The imporatnce of this phase of restorative densitry and a survey of techniques for making interim restorations were gleaned from a review of the literature. A method for the fabrication of a provisional fixed partial denture using an acrylic resin interocclusal record was described and illustrated.

A technique has been described whereby a heat-processed provisional splint was fabricated with the factors of esthetics and long-term serviceability being of prime importance. Additional advantages of the use of a well-adapted provisional restoration in a periodontal prosthesis are as follows: (1) They facilitate periodontal treatment by allowing total visibility and access to surgical sites when the splint is removed. (2) The splinting effect may enhance healing and periodontal-ligament reattachment by stabilizing mobile abutments. (3) The patient's ability to render adequate home care for a fixed prosthetic restoration may be evaluated and reinforced before making case restorations. (4) The patient's cooperation is assured during an extended period of restorative care when an esthetic, comfortable, provisional splint is provided.
