Interim Restorations
•Definition:
• A prosthesis designed to enhance esthetics, stabilization
and/or function for a limited period of time after which it
is to be replaced by a definitive prosthesis.
Interim Restorations
• Used to
• Used to assist in determination of the therapeutic
effectiveness of a specific treatment plan or the form and
function of the planned definitive prosthesis.
Interim Restorations
• Essential to Fixed Prosthodontic treatment since
restorations are fabricated indirectly in the laboratory.
• “Interim” or “provisional restoration”
• NOT “—-”
temporary
Interim Restorations
• Requirements:
(1)
• The same as for definitive
restorations, except for
longevity and sophistication of
color
Biomechanical Requirements:
(7)
• Pulpal protection
• Positional stability
• Occlusal function
• Cleansability
• Marginal integrity
• Strength and retention
• Esthetics / Phonetics
Protect the Prepared Teeth
(5)
• Bacterial plaque and saliva
• Exposure to irritating and painful
stimuli
• Temperature changes; chemicals /
fluids
• Marginal leakage
• Abrasion or breakage of prepared tooth
surfaces
Positional Stability (Intra-arch /
Inter-arch)
(3)
• Proximal contacts
• Occlusal contacts
• Inter-abutment stability (FPD)

Restore Masticatory Function and Occlusion (3)
• Centric occlusal contacts (anterior and posterior)
• Lateral and protrusive guidance where appropriate on anterior teeth.
• No contact in lateral and protrusive on posterior teeth.
Maintain Periodontal Health (4)
• Non-impinging margins
• Physiologic contours, emergence profiles, embrasures, and proximal
contact
• Smooth surface texture and finish
• Leads to optimum and predictable tissue health
• Fit:
as close to finish line of tooth as possible
• Contour:
smooth, undetectable with explorer; smooth surface finish
• Sealed to prevent
leakage and resultant pain / caries or dislodgement
Marginal Integrityr: undetectable with explorer
(3)
• Emergence Profile: flat or slightly concave – NOT convex bulge
• Rough, thick margin → plaque accumulation; gingival inflammation
• Hemorrhage complicates impressions, cementation
Strength and Retention
• Adequate thickness for strength
(2)
• Withstand forces without breaking or dislodgement
• Adequate tooth reduction is necessary
Strength and Retention
• Physical properties of dental materials
(2)
• Metal or resin
• PMMA vs Bisacryl Resin
Strength and Retention
• Adequate thickness for strength
(3)
• Withstand forces without breaking or dislodgement
• Adequate tooth reduction is necessary
• Connectors / pontic contours ↑ w/o gingival impingement
Strength and Retention
• Physical properties of dental materials
(2)
• Brittleness (fracture) – especially bis-acryl resins
• ↑ Wear
Esthetics and Phonetics
• Maintain phonetics through:
(5)
• Proper tooth length, position, contours
• Facial (lip) support
• Proper tooth (pontic) form for appearance
• Tooth shade compatible with remaining teeth
• Preview of final restoration for patient acceptance
While in a fluid state, the mixed
resin
fills the cavity formed by a
mold, and then solidifies producing a
rigid restoration.
Custom Interim – Direct Technique
(4)
Molar is prepared for FGC.
Resin injected into mold of unprepared tooth.
Impression with resin re-seated onto
prepared tooth; allowed to set.
When removed, internal surface of provisional
crown is seen
Custom Interim – Direct Technique
ØCustom direct interim crown is removed from the matrix, and then
shaped and polished.
Interim Fabrication
• Two-part mold:
one part forms external contour of crown or FPD;
the other forms the internal or tooth / tissue-contacting surface.
external form (matrix)-
internal form (tooth)-
custom.preformed
direct/indirect technique
External Surface Form
(2)
• Pre-fabricated (preformed) crowns
-Single crowns only
• Custom-fabricated molds
-Single or multiple unit restorations
Technique of fabrication
• “Direct on tooth” versus “Indirect on cast”
Prefabricated crown forms
(5)
• Aluminum or tin-silver
• Nickel-chrome or stainless steel
• Polycarbonate shells
• Cellulose acetate shells
• VLC moldable composite crowns
