- Prior to preparation
on extraction of tooth, take a quadrant impression using alginate, silicone
or thermoplastic impression material. Remove the interdental gingival
areas from this impression to provide bulk for the temporary restoration.
In molar areas with absent teeth, create a ridge for pontic contact
between the prepared teeth. When using a plastic template, pour model
from impression. Fabricate a clear plastic matrix.
- Select shade.
- Dry prepared teeth
and lightly lubricate prepared teeth and surrounding tissue with Vaseline
or similar separating medium.
- Fill the impression
or template with Temporary Material and insert into the abutment teeth
within 30 to 45 seconds. To prevent bubbles, dispense Temporary Material
onto the occlusal surfaces first and then bring it gingivally, overbuilding
it slightly.
- Insert the impression
or clear matrix (filled with Temporary Material) over the prepared teeth
and hold firmly in place. NOTE: If a clear matrix is used, remove excess
on the gingival area immediately with a non-metallic instrument.
- The provisional
crown or bridge can be easily removed (together with the impression
from the prepared teeth) approximately 2.5 to 3 minutes from start of
mix. NOTE: Curing process must be monitored closely as removal is only
possible during this rubbery phase. Do not use bench cure to judge mouth
cure.
- Allow five additional
minutes prior to trimming, contouring or polishing the temporary. NOTE:
Use slow-speed acrylic burs and disks for shaping. Use high-speed finishing
diamond burs in the mouth to adjust occlusion and for further adjustments.
- Provisional crown
or bridge can be luted with any temporary cement (automatically mixing
temporary cements recommended). NOTE: Cements containing eugenol may
inhibit polymerization of resin-based materials.
