PROVISIONAL RESTORATION
10.
Place a PreFormance Temporary Cylinder on the implant
that is on the opposite of the arch from the selected lab-
processed cylinder. Secure the cylinder into place using an
abutment screw and the Large Hex Driver. Seal the screw
access opening with impression material. Try in the provisional
restoration over the PreFormance Temporary Cylinder and
secure it into place by threading an abutment screw through
the lab-processed cylinder. Verify that it fits to the cylinder
margins properly. Adjust the occlusion as indicated and
remove the provisional restoration.

Place acrylic resin into the retention facets on the
PreFormance Temporary Cylinder and into the cylinder area
on the provisional restoration. Seat the provisional restoration
over the cylinder and secure it into place by threading an
abutment screw through the lab-processed cylinder. Have
the patient close into centric occlusion. Allow the acrylic
resin to set per the manufacturer’s instructions. Remove the
abutment screws and remove the provisional restoration.
Place the remaining PreFormance

Temporary Cylinders on
the implants and lute these into the provisional restoration by
repeating the prior steps. Fill in any voids. Remove any excess
acrylic resin and polish. Secure the provisional restoration
into place with the titanium abutment screws using the Large
Hex Driver. Torque the screws to 20Ncm using the Large
Hex Driver Tip and a torque device. Place a temporary filling
material into the screw access openings and seal those with
composite resin. Adjust the occlusion as indicated. If a flap
procedure was used during surgery, suture the soft-tissue
around the provisional restoration.
