Maintaining a fixed provisional prosthesis through all phases of complex implant prosthodontic therapy for a soon-to-be completely edentulous arch is a difficult task. This article focuses on the treatment phase in which teeth and/or transitional implants supporting a provisional fixed partial denture are removed. The described technique makes use of healing abutments to support a modified provisional fixed partial denture. This protocol ensures patient comfort and allows proper soft tissue healing before definitive implant abutment selection. It also eliminates the placement of interim implant abutments.
