Abstract
Statement of problem
Guidance to determine whether providing an interim implant-supported restoration is
beneficial is lacking.
Purpose
The purpose of this systematic review was to answer the following focused question:
“Does the use of interim fixed implant prostheses before placement of a definitive
fixed implant-supported prostheses impact esthetics, peri-implant health, and osseointegration
in partially dentate adults?”
Material and methods
A search of electronic databases (Medline and Embase) and the nonpeer-reviewed literature
for randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, and cohort studies in the English
language was conducted.
Results
Two studies met the eligibility criteria. Heterogeneity of the study methodologies
and outcome measures did not allow for meta-analysis. Use of interim implant-supported
restorations may improve the esthetic outcome. Occlusal loading of definitive implant-supported
prosthesis without the use of an interim restoration may decrease chair time and the
number of patient visits.
Conclusions
The systematic review has found insufficient evidence to support or refute the practice
of providing an interim restoration before delivering an implant-supported prosthesis.
