Acrylic tooth splint-An immediate provisionalisation following tooth extraction; a series of case reports.

Key Clinical Message: Numerous techniques for provisionally replacing a single tooth at the aesthetic zone while planning for future dental implant placement, while soft and hard tissues heal, are critical in restorative treatment strategy. The available materials, simplicity, cost, and impact on the potential implant location should be considered when evaluating the treatment choices. Abstract: Replacement of a single anterior tooth in the aesthetic zone while planning for future implant placement is crucial to the restorative treatment plan. Several methods exist for immediate provisionalisation of the extracted tooth while waiting for soft and hard tissue healing. Although there's a myriad of possible provisionalisation methods available, each option has its advantages and disadvantages. The treatment options should weigh various factors such as the available materials, ease of fabrication, costs, and the effect on the future implant site. This article describes three clinical cases demonstrating a simple yet cost-effective technique to temporarily replace an extracted single anterior tooth, enhancing patient satisfaction and increasing compliance before receiving the definitive implant restoration. The pro and cons for each treatment option available as opposed to the technique involved in the three cases used are also described.
