Area of Science:

  • Dental prosthetics
  • Restorative dentistry
  • Prosthodontics

Background:

  • Fixed prostheses require replacement over time.
  • Provisional restorations are needed during fabrication of new prostheses.
  • Existing prostheses can potentially be repurposed.

Observation:

  • A technique exists to convert existing fixed prostheses into provisional restorations.
  • This conversion utilizes the original prosthesis structure.

Findings:

  • The described technique offers reduced wear on the provisional restoration.
  • It increases the strength and retention of the provisional prosthesis.
  • Clinical time is decreased, and esthetically acceptable contours are achieved.
