Provisional restorations are of a great significance in fixed prosthodontic rehabilitation, particularly in case long-term treatment is needed before final prosthetics.
The restorations are also important from the point of view of diagnosis and treatment plan assessment so they should be similar to the final constructions in their shape and function.
Provisional restorations
quite often need alterations and adjustment to the new requirements, so it’s important to comprehend the compositional properties of the base and
repair materials to make a reliable bond between them.
Thus, interim treatment should meet a number of requirements such as biocompatibility, marginal adaptation, strength and longevity.
Dr. Bob Lowe, DDS gives clinical tips on the carving and polishing of provisional restorations. This video is an extract of a one hour free CE webinar.
