RESUMEN

This article describes a method to fabricate single provisional restorations for multiple preparations using an indirect technique. Provisional restorations need to mimic the definitive restoration as closely as clinically possible. When multiple adjacent provisional restorations are fabricated, the ability to make each separately, with its own path of insertion and contour, aids in providing a predictable final result for the patient. Individual provisional restorations will also allow the patient to maintain better hygiene. (j Prosthet Dent 2009;102:260-263)

SUMMARY

Indirectly fabricated individual provisional restorations allow the patient better access for oral hygiene. Indirect provisional restorations provide better marginal adaptation, greater opportunity for the dentist to change contours of individual teeth to accommodate patient esthetic preferences, and allow quick clinical fabrication.
