Enhanced aesthetics using provisionalization.
The proper fabrication of provisional restorations is integral to the overall success of restorative dentistry, as these templates are the initial architecture for the completed case. In a clinical setting, restorations may be utilized for an extended period, during which time the clinician and patient must feel confident. Due partially to a new generation of dental materials with unique properties, provisionalization can be predictably achieved. This article reviews the clinical criteria for the fabrication of interim restorations using a light cure/dual phase temporary crown and bridge material (Provipont DC, Ivoclar Vivadent, Amherst, NY) and its effect on the overall success of restorative procedures, including anterior and posterior restorations.
