Immediate tooth restoration is possible if the patient's anatomical conditions allow it. In the simplest case, the implantologist places an immediate implant in the place of the missing tooth and inserts a provisional crown in the same session. The patient leaves the practice on the same day with a tooth!
If an immediate dental implant has to be hidden deep in the gum, it is not technically possible to place a temporary crown on it, the so-called Maryland technique (Figures 1 and 2) is used. This allows the patient to function only a few days after the procedure (the temporary tooth is permanently bonded to the neighboring teeth) until the final crown is placed.
In complicated cases, however, we have to resort to techniques of guided bone regeneration (as the empty socket after a freshly extracted tooth is often larger than the diameter of the implant to be placed) and soft tissue management — for optimal aesthetics.
As soon as the gums have healed, an abutment is placed.
This is followed by a porcelain crown.

A temporary tooth is just that — a temporary treatment to replace a tooth until the implant is completed. It is used in the rare case that the dentist cannot complete the implant in one treatment. A temporary tooth ensures that the condition of your teeth is fully restored when you leave the practice — on the same day, even if a second visit is required.
The temporary tooth is made of a plastic and durable material that is harmless to humans and matches the color of the other teeth in the dental arch. The temporary tooth can be used in both the upper and lower jaw and can be used several times. However, it is important that it is inserted between two of the patient's own teeth. Using a temporary tooth allows you to lead a normal life with confidence and without complexes until the gums have healed and a permanent implant has been placed. A temporary tooth is a solution that means you don't have to hide at home while you wait for a permanent porcelain dental implant with crown. Opt for the highest quality and solution used by professionals.
In situations where you do not want to wait with an empty part of the dental arch for a crown to be fitted after a tooth extraction, a temporary tooth is a suitable interim solution. It can be temporarily placed on an implant and a temporary abutment in one session. Once the gums have healed and the osseointegration process is complete, the abutment and final porcelain crown are placed. Another method is the Maryland technique, which the implantologist uses when it is not possible to place a temporary dental crown on an implant (the implant has not achieved sufficient initial stability in the bone). A temporary tooth is bonded between two of the patient's own teeth, which are made of plastic, usually composite. Occasionally, we also use a Maryland bridge made of porcelain.
That is correct. In most cases, the process of dental implantation consists of two steps and requires two visits. During the first procedure, our oral surgeon drills a small hole in the jawbone. He inserts the base of the implant into this hole and then covers it with gum tissue so that it can heal. During the healing period, the patient receives a temporary tooth that sits on a temporary abutment. The additional function of the temporary abutment is to form an aesthetically pleasing gum that surrounds the future temporary crown. As soon as the implant area has healed — after 3–4 months — the second procedure takes place. The oral surgeon places the abutment on the base of the implant and then attaches the crown to the abutment. After this second procedure, you can enjoy your new dental implant that looks exactly like a natural tooth!
Many people want to know what options there are for a temporary tooth in between the two procedures described above, i.e., while waiting for a dental implant with a permanent porcelain crown. If the tooth to be restored is at the back of the mouth, this is not a major problem, as few people can see this area.
However, if the implant is located in the area of the front teeth, patients opt to close the gap with a temporary tooth. There are several options for this. You can use a micro prosthesis to which an artificial tooth is attached to hide the gap. It's best to talk to your dentist at Podzamcze about which option is best for your particular situation. There are also options such as a temporary crown on an implant. In this case, our dentist will give you precise instructions on what you can eat or drink until the final implant is inserted.
A temporary crown is a tooth-shaped cap that protects a natural tooth or implant until a permanent crown is made and cemented. Because temporary crowns are more fragile than permanent crowns, you should take extra care when chewing while wearing a temporary crown.
Read on to find out more about why you need a temporary crown and how you can make sure it doesn't break or come loose before replacing it with a permanent crown.

A temporary crown can cover an implant, a tooth with root canal treatment or a repaired tooth. It can be placed on a single tooth or form a bridge over more than one implant or tooth.
It is usually performed in a single visit. In complex cases, the assistance of a technical laboratory is required (2 visits).
Your temporary crown will probably remain in place for 2 to 4 weeks. If implants are involved, it will take several weeks to months for the bone to heal and a permanent crown to be placed.
The shape and color of your temporary crown will resemble your natural teeth.
Using computer technology, we will choose the shape of the final crown that will fit perfectly in your mouth. We can also take an impression of your existing teeth to make a permanent crown. We will make sure that the color of your final crown matches your other teeth exactly.
Remember, however, that the temporary crown should not stay in place for more than a few months. Sometimes the color of the temporary crown does not match the other teeth very well due to the materials used.
Your temporary crown is fixed with temporary cements, so it is not as permanent as all other treatments. The temporary tooth should be fully functional so that you can chew normally. However, as the adhesive is not intended to fix the tooth permanently, you should avoid chewing very hard or extremely sticky foods. You should also avoid sugary foods. Your temporary crown may have a gap between the crown and the gum line. This means that sugar can get under the crown and cause decay faster than usual. Here are some products to avoid with a temporary crown:
Steak or hard meat
hard or crusty bread or rolls
hard or crunchy fresh vegetables, e.g., raw young carrots
firm or crunchy fresh fruit, e.g., apples
corn on the cob
chewing gum
Roasted corn
nuts
Hard caramels
Caramel
ice cream
red wine
coloring fruit juices
Also, try to avoid very hot or very cold foods, as these can impair the hold of the temporary crown through the dental cement.
Caring for a temporary crown requires a little more attention. You need to be careful when using dental floss so that you do not move the temporary crown. Try to insert and remove the floss gently. Do not pull it down through the teeth. You may also need to brush the area a little more gently (preferably with a normal toothbrush — not electric). It is important that you maintain daily oral hygiene and keep the area around the temporary crown clean.
The Maryland dental bridge gets its name from the University of Maryland. It is a type of permanent dental bridge that can be placed in the mouth to replace a missing tooth.
A Maryland bridge is a type of permanent dental prosthesis that can replace a missing tooth. The concept is similar to a typical dental bridge, where your dentist attaches the restoration to the teeth on either side of the gap to create a unified smile.
However, there is one essential difference you should be aware of: While a conventional dental bridge requires the dentist to remove some enamel from the neighboring teeth, a Maryland dental bridge does not (it is simply bonded to the neighboring teeth with special tabs/wings).
To place a typical dental bridge, the dentist has to remove part of the healthy tooth enamel. This permanently affects the intact teeth adjacent to the gap.
A Maryland dental bridge consists of thin metal or porcelain “wings” that are bonded to the back of your teeth. Your dentist bonds them to the supporting teeth with composite resin without removing the enamel before insertion. The Maryland bridge is not a tooth replacement option for everyone. It is only suitable for patients who have good oral hygiene and healthy adjacent teeth, and when bite conditions permit. A dentist can only recommend a Maryland bridge to someone who meets these criteria and needs to replace one or two missing front teeth.
