Abstract Objective To provide a method of fabricating implant‐supported provisional restorations with orthodontic attachments by digital technique. Clinical consideration Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) provisional restorations are usually necessary when dental implants are serving as anchors for orthodontic treatments. For clear aligner treatment, it is possible to setup the teeth virtually and determine the final position of the implants, indicating that the provisional restorations can be also predetermined. However, attachments on PMMA restorations have a higher risk of debonding due to low bond strength. To fabricate provisional restorations with predetermined shape and position and no risk of attachment debonding immediately after implant placement, a digital workflow is introduced in this article. Conclusions By combining “pick‐up” technique and prefabricated monolithic PMMA provisional restorations, this technique is recommended for making implant‐supported provisional restorations with integrated orthodontic attachments based on the digitally designed positions of the teeth. Clinical significance The present protocol describes a digital workflow of designing and manufacturing implant‐supported PMMA provisional restorations with orthodontic attachments in the predetermined position of implants, which should lead to more reliable and predictable orthodontic treatment outcomes.
