J Prosthet Dent. 2020 Nov;124(5):526-529. doi: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2019.10.018. Epub 2019 Dec 24.

Abstract

This report describes the direct fabrication of interim implant-supported crowns in a single clinical session by applying a preheated composite resin to a clear silicone matrix made by diagnostic waxing. This technique facilitates the fabrication of custom interim restorations with appropriate soft-tissue molding and enables an inexpensive, predictable, functional, and esthetic outcome after implant surgery.
