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.
Used to assist in determination of the therapeutic
effectiveness of a specific treatment plan or the form and
function of the planned definitive prosthesis.
why are interim restorations essential?
Essential to Fixed Prosthodontic treatment since
restorations are fabricated indirectly in the laboratory.
Interim Restorations
*Requirements:
*The same as for definitive restorations, except for longevity and sophistication of color.
*Biomechanical Requirements of interim restorations
pulp? position?
occlusion?
cleaning?
margin?
strength?
retention?
esthetic/phonetics?
*Pulpal protection
*Positional stability
*Occlusal function
*Cleansability
*Marginal integrity
*Strength and retention
*Esthetics / Phonetics
what do we protect the prepared teeth from?
*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 of interim provided by?
*Proximal contacts
*Occlusal contacts
*Inter-abutment stability (FPD)
positional stability of interim protheses can prevent? what if this is not done?
A provisional will prevent lateral drifting of the prepared and/or adjacent teeth)
open prox contacts leads to?
without proper occ contact what happens
Restoring Masticatory Function and Occlusion
*Centric occlusal contacts?
*Lateral and protrusive guidance?
*No contact when/where?
*Centric occlusal contacts (anterior and posterior)
*Lateral and protrusive guidance where appropriate on anterior teeth.
*No contact in lateral and protrusive on posterior teeth.
how to maintain perio health with interim restoration
margins?
contours?
texture/finish?
*Non-impinging margins
*Physiologic contours, emergence profiles, embrasures, and proximal
contact
*Smooth surface texture and finish
Marginal Integrity
*Fit:
*Contour:
*Seal:
Marginal Integrity
*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

emergence profile of interim?
flat or slightly concave – NOT convex bulge
rough or thick margins lead to?
plaque accumulation; gingival inflammation
