title: Using irreversible hydrocolloid to evaluate preparations and fabricate temporary immediate provisional restorations.
abstract: Two unique techniques that use irreversible hydrocolloid and an Omnivac matrix have been presented. The first technique is used to evaluate the adequacy and uniformity of the tooth preparation. The second technique is used to create a TIPR for the patient while the PIPR is being fabricated. The TIPR-PIPR system can be used to facilitate proper diagnosis, planning, and treatment; and it results in improved patient comfort, dentist efficiency, and increased control over the final restoration.
