Efficient temporary covering of a prepared tooth is an essential part of the restoration process when the immediate placement of a permanent restoration isn’t possible.
In modern dentistry, temporary restorations must meet criteria for not just form and functionality, but aesthetics, structural strength and ease of placement.
Regardless of a dentist’s technique, achieving this is impossible without the right materials.
Temporary restorations are an essential component of the crown and bridge procedure.
It is the attention to detail during temporisation that lays the foundations for making seating the final crown or bridge easier.
For patients, who sometimes require having a temporary crown or bridge in place for several months, it is especially important that their partial denture looks good and allows them to eat and brush their teeth as normally as possible without fear of causing damage.
Good temporisation is also vitally important for protecting the oral tissues following tooth preparation and for gingival healing.
The two most widely used materials on the market today for indirect temporary restorations are acrylics and bisacrylics.
Many dentists still use acrylic temporisation material due to familiarity and its price, but there is no denying the advantages bisacrylic holds over its more traditional counterpart.
Switching to a bisacrylic material can save you time and trouble every time you temporise with its consistent and convenient automix delivery, lower exothermic reaction, lower shrinkage, precision fit and minimal odour.
One of the most popular bisacrylic materials on the market is Protemp 4 Temporisation Material from Solventum.
