title: Alternative fabrication method for chairside fiber-reinforced composite resin provisional fixed partial dentures.
abstract: A high level of clinical skill is required for fabricating a provisional fixed partial denture with fiber-reinforced composite resin (FRC) using either the direct or chairside technique. The freehand approach to restoring missing teeth represents a challenge to the clinician, particularly when shaping and finishing a hygienic pontic. This technical report describes a simplified method for chairside fabrication of a fixed dental prosthesis with FRC. It is based on using a translucent template to guide the buildup procedure and to ensure optimal anatomy and function.
