Provisional restorations for traumatically injured teeth requiring endodontic treatment.
The acid-etch-composite resin technique is used to retain a provisional restoration during the course of endodontic treatment. As described, the use of a gutta percha cone during the buildup and bonding to adjacent teeth provides the following: (1) good esthetics during endodontic treatment, (2) good support for rubber dam placement, (3) good entry to the canal, (4) good coronal seal for medication within the canal, and (5) good function as required by the provisional crown.
