179-00 Provisional Restoration - The Overlooked Link to Aesthetic and Functional Perfection PREVIEW
This presentation is about Provisional Restorations. You may wonder why. What is so interesting about Provisional Restorations? But consider a perfect temporary restoration as the foundation of any restorative excellence you might strive for.
We have all experience clinical situations where you do a direct temporary restoration based on a silicon mold that you took before you removed the old crown. Easy, right? Nevertheless, coming up with the nice marginal fit necessary to create a healthy biological sulcus epithelium which is the prerequisite for a good, easy impression, and good adhesive cementation requires more consideration. This presentation will examine this in full detail.
How about a situation where we use an indirect lab made temporary restoration that is a little more complex, including crown lengthening procedures? This presentation will discuss not only the temporization, but also additional clinical issues.
This presentation will focus on temporaries for veneer-prepared teeth. What do we do? How can we make them stay in place, and not fall off every-so-often?
We will look at implant retained situations, either using multiple implants where we have use of temporary restorations for a longer period of time, maybe making it necessary to use metal-reinforced temporary restorations. And, when it comes to really demanding clinical situations where the immediate approach means tooth extraction, immediate placement of implants, and immediate temporization followed then by a final restoration. What aspects should be taken into consideration to achieve the best possible esthetic result?
And, finally, various materials and cements to be used in the temporary approach will also be reviewed.
