What is the recommended material for capturing the intimate detail of the preparation during realignment?
Methyl methacrylate acrylic
What is crucial before realignment due to distortion?
Patient feedback on occlusion
What is the recommended tool for chair-side adjustment of occlusion?

What is the best approach for turning the fully set restoration back?
Put a little dot on the highs and lows to indicate areas that require minimal grinding
Study Notes
Temporary Dental Inlays and Onlays Procedure
- Saliva is the best lubricant for temporary dental inlays and onlays
- Patient's saliva should cover the teeth a little for lubrication
- Patient should bite down into a normal MIP and stay in that position until instructed to open
- After seating, adjustments may be needed, especially on the lower teeth due to tongue interference
- The material goes through a doughy stage before transitioning to a rubbery stage
- The temporary restoration should match the patient's proper anatomy
- Careful monitoring is needed to avoid setting too much before the material reaches the rubbery stage
- Removal of the temporary restoration requires skill and caution to avoid distortion and sticking to adjacent teeth
- Realigning the restoration may be necessary, especially for larger restorations
- Placing the set restoration in hot water can speed up the setting process
- After full setting, the restoration is ready for final adjustments and grinding
- Pencil marks are used to indicate areas that require minimal grinding and shaping
