Q

4 steps to the putty impression provisional crown technique WITH modification.

A
  1. Make PRE-OP MODELS in stone with WAX REGISTRATION of bite.
  2. Technician does a WAX UP to improve the SHAPE and AESTHETICS of the teeth.
  3. The wax up can be DUPLICATED in STONE and a VACUUM FORMED STENT MADE.
  4. STENT/MOULD used after crown preparation to make PROVISONAL CROWNS

Q

Technique to provide a temporary bridge when the abutment tooth is prepared and there is no pre-operative putty without using the lab (6)?

A
  • Mould some soft wax over the abutment and gap.
  • make a putty index over the wax.
  • Place protemp into the putty and place over the tooth.
  • Trim up the protemp temporary bridge.
  • Check the occlusion .
  • Polish and fit with temporary luting cement (tempbond)b
17
Q

When is a pre-operative wax up followed by duplication and a vacuum formed stent used?

A

When making temporary restorations for MULTIPLE TEETH and wanting to CHANGE OCCLUSION or GUIDANCE.

18
Q

Technique to provide a temporary bridge when the abutment tooth is prepared and there is no pre-operative putty WITH using the lab (9)?

A

aka post-operative wax up followed by duplication and vacuum formed stent.

  • Take an impression.
  • Technician makes the wax.
  • Technician duplicates the cast.
  • Technician makes a vacuum formed stent.
  • Fill stent with tprotemp.
  • Trim
  • Check occlusion
  • Polish
  • Cement with temporary luting cement (Protemp).
19
Q

When is a free hand bis-acrylic resin temporary restoration used?

A

As a LAST RESORT as it requires A LOT OF TRIMMING and is VERY TIME CONSUMING.

20
Q

2 diagnostic benefits of provisional restorations?

A

Help check for UNDERCUTS ON CROWN:
- will not withdraw from preparation.
- rstoration will tear as it is withdrawn.

Help check if prep is ADEQUATELY REDUCED:
- did you cut through the provisional crown when checking the occlusion.
- is the provisional crown less than 0.5mm thick?

21
Q

why do we make our provisional restoration before taking our final impression?

A
  • Provisional restoration tells us if CROWN PREP IS UNDERCUT.
  • Tells us if prep is ADEQUATELY REDUCED.
22
Q

When do we make our provisional restoration?

A
  • AFTER the tooth preparation (to check the tooth preparation is satisfactory)
  • BEFORE the impression (so you can modify the preparation BEFORE the impression is taken.
23
Q

3 THERAPEUTIC benefits of provisional restorations?

A
  1. improve PERIODONTAL health.
  2. improve SEECH DIFFICULTIES.
  3. improve AESTHETICS (+ confirm patient is happy with aesthetics).
