Temporary Prosthesis (Single Jaw)

A temporary prosthesis for a single jaw is a dental device used to replace a missing tooth or teeth in one part of the jaw. It is typically made from materials that are less durable than permanent prosthetics, as it's meant to serve as a short-term solution while waiting for a more permanent restoration, such as a dental implant or bridge.

These temporary prostheses help restore function and aesthetics, allowing patients to chew and speak more comfortably during the interim period. They can be made of acrylic or other lightweight materials and are designed to be easily adjustable or removable. After the healing process or completion of the permanent solution, the temporary prosthesis is usually removed.
