For newly graduated dentists, temporary restorations are often not seen as an important part of treatment, but rather a simple stopgap from the time the fnal impression is taken until the fnal restorations are fitted.
This is due to the fact that the teaching is focused on single-tooth dentistry, where the requirements from the temporary are limited and relatively simplistic.
However, as the dentist progresses along their career path and starts treating more complex cases, the need for,
and importance of, high-quality temporary crowns becomes essential.
They allow the dentist to maintain stability during treatment of more complex cases and provide the time needed to carry out individual procedures and multiple stages.
In this Dental Minute video, Dr. Cutbirth shows you a quick and easy way to fabricate provisional restorations for full crowns.
