Abstract:
The typical unreinforced fixed partial denture provisional restoration commonly fails because of fractures and loss of cement retention. A procedure to reinforce the provisional restoration with a substructure of orthodontic band material has dramatically increased the longevity of this restoration. The procedure requires commonly available materials without a significant increase in cost or construction time.
