Abstract
Immediate post-extraction and same-day placement of interim prostheses have increased
patient acceptance of implant-supported prostheses. However, for immediate prostheses
supported by multiple implants, meeting passive fit and esthetic standards is often
challenging. In this clinical report, implant photogrammetry was combined with conventionally
obtained digitized casts to prepare an interim, milled prosthesis from a polyoxymethylene
(POM) disk, using computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing techniques.
The following 2 conclusions were drawn. First, stereophotogrammetric scanning appears
to be a reliable method for making impressions of immediate, implant-supported partial
prostheses, and second, POM is suitable for preparing immediate interim screw-retained
prosthetic implants.
