title: Enhanced aesthetics using provisionalization.
abstract: 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.
