title: A clinical technique for temporization of teeth to receive porcelain laminate veneers.
abstract: Temporization of teeth prepared for porcelain laminate veneers is sometimes necessary to preserve occlusal relationships, prevent sensitivity or maintain esthetics. The literature describes several techniques which satisfy different requirements for temporization. A modified technique is presented that satisfies at once: occlusion, sensitivity and esthetic needs. Clinical time spent with the patient is minimized by fabricating a matrix on a diagnostic cast prior to the preparation/ impression appointment.
