Placed immediately after implant insertion for instant function and aesthetics. Less occlusal loading is permitted (50% of normal force). Designed for easy removal during check-ups. Serves as a template for the final bridge (evaluation of shape and colour). Material: PMMA or flexible nylon for shock absorption. Cost: €800-€1,500 depending on complexity. Average period of use: 3-6 months. Essential for patients in public-facing roles or with high aesthetic demands. Replaced once osseointegration is complete.
