    Study Notes

    Interim Fixed Restorations (Temporization)

    • Interim fixed restorations are temporary restorations used until a permanent restoration can be placed
    • They serve as temporary replacements for missing or damaged teeth
    • Interim restorations are designed to be biologically, mechanically, and esthetically acceptable
    • Key requirements are: materials and procedures, post and core interim restorations, and cementations

    Biological Considerations

    • Pulp protection: temporary restorations should protect the pulp from thermal, chemical, and physical irritation
    • Periodontal health: the restoration should not harm the periodontium and support good oral hygiene practices
    • Occlusal and position: maintenance of proper proximal contacts and occlusal harmony is critical
    • Fracture prevention: the temporary restoration must protect the prepared tooth from potential fracture

    Mechanical Considerations

    • Resistance to functional load: the restoration must withstand the forces applied during chewing and speaking
    • Resistance to removal force: the restoration should not dislodge easily
    • Alignment: proper alignment of the teeth is maintained for a comfortable and functional bite

    Esthetic Considerations

    • Easily contourable: the restoration should adapt to the shape of the surrounding teeth
    • Color compatibility: the temporary restoration should match the color of the natural teeth
    • Translucency: the restoration should allow light to pass through it, giving it a natural appearance
    • Color stability: the restoration's color should not change over time

    Types of Temporary Restorations

    • Intra-coronal: used for inlay preparations
    • Extra-coronal:
      • Custom-made acrylic resin crowns and bridges
      • Prefabricated metal crowns (e.g., aluminum shell, aluminum anatomic, stainless steel, Ni-chromium anatomic)
      • Tooth-colored polycarbonate crowns
      • Clear cellulose acetate crowns

    Custom Made Temporary Restorations

    • Direct Technique: Formed directly in the patient’s mouth
    • Indirect Technique: Formed on a cast
    • Application of self-curing resin may irritate the pulp

    Characteristics of an Ideal Provisional Material

    • Convenient handling
    • Biocompatibility
    • Dimensional stability
    • Ease of contouring and polishing
    • Adequate strength
    • Acceptable appearance
    • Acceptability to patient
    • Ease of adding or repairing
    • Chemical compatibility with provisional luting agents

    Currently Available Provisional Materials

    • Poly-methyl methacrylate resin
    • Poly-ethyl methacrylate resin
    • Microfilled composite resins (with AutoMix delivery system)
    • Light-cured microfilled resins

    Fabrication of Custom Made Temporary Restorations

    • Direct technique: illustrates steps in creating the restoration directly within the mouth

    Temporary Cementation

    • Primary function: to seal the restoration to prevent marginal leakage and protect the tooth from harm

    Ideal Properties of Temporary Luting Agents

    • Seals against leakage of oral fluids
    • Adequate strength – consistent with intentional removal
    • Low solubility
    • Obtundent effect on the pulp
    • Chemical compatibility with resins used
    • Convenient dispensing and mixing
    • Ease of eliminating excess
    • Adequate working time and short setting time

    Materials for Temporary Cementation

    • Zinc oxide–eugenol cements (generally the most satisfactory)
    • Non-eugenol cements (using ortho-methoxy phenol, ortho-ethoxy benzoic acid, etc., as liquid components)

    Steps of Cementation

    • Detailed descriptions and images illustrating the steps in cementation procedures

    Temporary Restoration for Endodontically Treated Teeth

    • Methods and procedures specific to endodontically treated teeth are addressed.

    Temporization of Laminate Veneers

    • Specific methods and techniques for temporary restorations when using laminate veneers are shown.
