This study presents an indirect-direct fabrication method for provisional restorations using composite and fiber reinforcement. The technique enhances restoration control and reduces overall fabrication time for dental professionals.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Materials Science
  • Prosthodontics
  • Clinical Dentistry

Background:

  • Fabricating multiple-unit provisional restorations traditionally requires significant chairside and laboratory time.
  • Existing methods may lack precise control over restoration contours and incisal edge positioning.
  • The need for efficient and accurate provisionalization techniques is crucial in restorative dentistry.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel indirect-direct fabrication method for multiple-unit provisional restorations.
  • To evaluate the efficiency and control offered by this new technique.
  • To reduce the time and complexity associated with provisional restoration fabrication.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized an indirect-direct technique for fabricating provisional restorations.

  • Employed composite material with fiber reinforcement within a vinyl polysiloxane matrix.
  • Fabrication was performed without the necessity of abutment preparation on diagnostic casts.

    • Main Results:

    • The described method successfully fabricates multiple-unit provisional restorations.
    • Significant reduction in both chair time and laboratory fabrication time was observed.
    • Enhanced control over restoration contours and incisal edge position was achieved.

    Conclusions:

    • The indirect-direct method offers an efficient approach for provisional restoration fabrication.
    • This technique streamlines the process, saving valuable time for clinicians and labs.
    • Improved control over critical restoration features enhances clinical outcomes.
