Summary
This study presents a new single-appointment technique for indirect ceramic and resin composite restorations, streamlining cavity preparation, dentin sealing, and provisionalization. This updated method aims to reduce patient visits for dental restorations.
Area of Science:
- Restorative Dentistry
- Dental Materials Science
Background:
- Traditional indirect restorations (ceramic, resin composite) typically require multiple dental appointments.
- This multi-appointment process can be time-consuming for both patients and clinicians.
Observation:
- An updated technique for the initial appointment of indirect bonded restorations is described.
- This technique integrates cavity preparation, dentin sealing, impression taking, and provisionalization into a single session.
Findings:
- The described technique successfully combines essential preliminary steps for indirect restorations.
- Two clinical cases demonstrate the step-by-step application of this updated first-appointment procedure.
Implications:
- This streamlined approach may reduce the number of appointments needed for indirect restorations.
- Potential benefits include improved patient convenience and potentially reduced treatment costs.
