Study Notes
Importance of Practicing Lab Materials and Skills
- Catch up on lab exercises by the end of the month to get full credit
- Staying up to date on lab materials and practicing skills is crucial
- Limited time in the semester to complete tasks
Temporary Restorations
- Temporary restorations are useful for multiple units, esthetics, and controlling function and occlusion
- Disadvantages: lab costs, time-consuming, and require planning
- Techniques: vacuum form, polycarbonate crown form, and processed heat-cured temporary restorations
Vacuum Form Technique
- Fast, simple, and cheap
- Advantage: fast and reusable
- Disadvantage: matrix can only be used once
Polycarbonate Crown Form
- Useful for multiple units, especially in the front of the mouth
- Come in various sizes, can be altered and shaped
