A procedure is presented for the construction of a direct provisional acrylic resin restoration by means of an interocclusal wax impression. This technique requires no preparation or laboratory time and quickly results in a restoration that accurately covers all margins of the preparation and restores proper contact, contour, and occlusion. This procedure can also be used for large restorations, immediate fixed partial dentures, final impressions of preparations, provisional crowns to fit existing removable partial dentures, and some office emergencies.

A new indexing procedure is described for the conversion of removable partial dentures when extraction of additional teeth is planned. Advantages and disadvantages of the indexing procedure are reviewed and compared with traditional treatment options. The new procedure facilitates the use of dental laboratory expertise and facilities and allows the patient to retain the prosthesis throughout the process. A component that includes teeth, denture base segments, and wire or cast clasps is created by the laboratory and attached by the dentist during the extraction visit as a simple denture repair procedure. The procedure can also be used to convert an existing partial denture to an immediate complete denture. Required clinical and laboratory procedures are described.

This article describes 2 procedures that can be used to provide acceptable anterior esthetics from the time of extraction, through implant placement and uncovering, until the completed implant-supported and retained crown is inserted. The first procedure presents a simple treatment option to prevent esthetic embarrassment immediately after implant placement. The second procedure uses a claspless, acrylic resin temporary removable partial denture to overcome many of the esthetic problems attendant with immediate replacement.
Improvement in the interim denture procedure in the past decade has been one of the significant advancements in prosthodontic practice. The interim denture approach is only slightly more time-consuming and expensive than the conventional immediate denture approach, yet it has many advantages. Among those advantages are the following: (1) allows rapid results; (2) results in a higher quality definitive denture; (3) allows the surgical treatment to be performed during one appointment; (4) permits duplication of the natural tooth position; and (5) provides the patient with a spare denture after the definitive denture is completed. An interim denture technique was described that utilized a flexible layered silicone mold to form the replaced teeth. The interim denture procedure is flexible and lends itself to many variations in technique to meet unusual clinical situations. An interim removable partial denture technique was described that involves block-out of undesirable undercuts and duplication of the master cast for fabrication of the partial denture. This technique results in an interim partial denture that can be placed with little or no adjustment and that will provide better service for those who require it. Three simple procedures for fabricating treatment dentures were described and the indications for each were discussed. Although treatment dentures are not often used, they are essential for the dentist who is treating difficult patients who require complete dentures.
