Posterior Provisional Trimming
Provisional restoration is a critical phase in the treatment of the dental patient. The design for the provisional restoration begins with gathering diagnostic information, including the patient's and dental team's desires. The hardest part of the fabrication process is not the trimming or the finishing but the carving of the anatomy and the occlusion.
- Understand how provisional restorations have become a vital diagnostic and assessment tool to evaluate the function, color, shape, contour, occlusion, periodontal response, implant healing, and overall esthetics
- Fabricate direct and indirect provisionals to provide accurate fit and margination
- Trim, finish, repair, and polish provisionals to create exquisite fit and esthetics
- Identify cementation techniques for partial and full coverage provisionals
- Create a better alternative to a “flipper” using a clear retainer and composite technique
