Definition
A fixed prosthesis, designed to enhance
Esthetics, stabilization and/or function for a
limited period of time, after which it is to be
replaced by a definitive prosthesis. Often such
prostheses are used to assist in determination of
the therapeutic effectiveness of a specific
treatment plan or the form and function of the
planned for definitive prosthesis
