The patient returns for follow up 6 days postop.  The periodontal dressing and the immediate provisional (Fig.9 P) remain in place.  The provisional is off occlusion and seems to be in excessively cross bite.  The wear facet in the buccal occlusal surface of the lower 2nd molar (Fig.9 *) appears to indicate that the former occlusion is normal, not cross bite. It is planned 2 months postop that the acrylic is to be added to the provisional to establish normal or cross bite prior to final impression.
