Abstract

Provisional restorations in fixed prosthodontic rehabilitation are important treatment procedures, particularly if the restorations are expected to function for extended periods of time or when additional therapy is required before completion of the rehabilitation. These materials should not only satisfy the mechanical requirements such as strength and resistance to wear but also meet the biologic and esthetic demands. The prognosis of a fixed restoration greatly depends on this interim restoration. This article describes the various materials used for these provisionals and also the techniques used to fabricate them along with their advantages and disadvantages.

Keywords
