- Dental Materials Science
Background:
- Historically, provisional restorations were not standard practice following tooth reduction for ceramic veneers.
- Recent years have seen a significant increase in the utilization of provisional veneer restorations.
Observation:
- The article examines the evolving reasons behind the increased use of provisional veneer restorations.
- It details clinical techniques for both direct and indirect fabrication of these restorations.
Findings:
- Indications and contraindications for provisionalization are presented.
- Four case reports illustrate diverse clinical scenarios, procedures, instruments, and materials for fabricating provisional restorations.
Implications:
- The findings support the fabrication of aesthetic, functionally sound, and biocompatible provisional restorations.
- Understanding these methods is crucial for modern dental practitioners utilizing ceramic veneers.
