Question

Quizzn for an optimum esthetic result, what is the minimum time to wait after an anterior tooth extraction before making a final impression for a fixed partial denture?

Answer 1

The answer is: 3 months

If we are doing fixed partial denture too son after the extraction, we could risk dental trauma in the extraction site. To be safe, dentists need time to ensure that the graft material has enough time to form immature bone that enable safe dental placement. This is why we need to wait a minimum of 3 months before the procedure.

Answer 2

For an optimum esthetic result, the minimum time to wait after an anterior tooth extraction before making a final impression for a fixed partial denture is 3-4 weeks.
