Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Prosthodontics
  • Dental Materials

Background:

  • Extensive prosthodontic treatment necessitates durable, long-term provisional restorations.
  • Existing methods for interim restorations have limitations in prolonged use.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a procedure for fabricating long-term reinforced heat-processed provisional restorations.
  • To evaluate the benefits of this technique for provisional restorations.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a diagnostic wax-up to create a matrix for prosthesis fabrication.
  • Employing a reinforced, heat-processed material for provisional restorations.

Main Results:

  • Reinforced restorations demonstrated reduced flexure, minimizing cement loss and recurrent decay.

  • Enhanced wear resistance maintained occlusal stability and vertical dimension.
  • The diagnostic wax-up matrix facilitated predictable duplication of occlusal and contour details.

    • Conclusions:

    • Reinforced heat-processed provisional restorations offer improved longevity and stability.
    • This technique enhances predictability and reduces chair time in prosthodontic treatment.
    • The method ensures accurate transfer of design elements to definitive restorations.
