The above-mentioned procedures and some other techniques make it possible to insert temporary dentures immediately onto the implants that have just been inserted. This is possible if the bone situation is favorable, i.e. if bone augmentation is not necessary and the bone is sufficiently firm. However, it is still absolutely necessary to consciously protect the dentures for 8 weeks. After this healing period, the fabrication of the final prosthesis is then started and completed after a further 2 weeks.
