Provisional restorations definition
Prosthesis designed to enhance aesthetics, stabilisation and/ or function for limited period of time, after which it is to be replaced by definitive prosthesis
Temporary vs transitional
Temp has limited and predetermined life-span
Transitional could be considered as something not planned for long-term but should serve, with modifications, for more extensive period of time compared to a temporary solution
Functions of provisional restorations
Protection
Maintain tooth position
Aesthetics
Diagnosis
Mastication
Facilitate plaque control - cleansable
Assess tooth reduction?
Informed consent
Provide coronal seal between RCT apts
Assess prognosis
Control/ customise emergence profile
Uses of temporary restorations
Routine indirect resotrations Replacing indirect restorations Immediate tooth replacement Replace tooth after impant placement Planning aesthetic, occlusal or perio changes prior to definitive restoration placement
Materials: PMMA
Good for indirect provisionals
Self/ chemical cure - P/L
Good aesthetics, strength , and wear resistance, easy to repair/ augment
Significant exotherm and polymerisation shrinkage, strong smell, free monomer can cause pulpal/ gingival reactions
Materials
PMMA PEM (Snap) Bis-Acryl composite Direct composite Pre-formed crowns CAD-CAM milled composites
Materials: PEM
Self/ chemical cure: P/L
Lesser exotherm and shrinkage
Poorer aesthetics, strength, wear resistance
Materials: Bis-Acryl
ProTemp - we use this most of the time
Most commonly self/ chemical cure but can get dual cure
Contains Bis-GMA, TEGDMA (essentially composite)
Good aesthetics, better colour stability, good wear resistance in adequate thickness
Difficult to repair, weak in thin section
Materials: direct composite
Used mainly for adhesive preparations (veneers, minimal preps) to maintain occlusal contacts/ improve aesthetics where necessary
Placed without bonding agent (spot etch technique)
