a single crown or for abutment teeth on a fixed bridge. In most cases the period to wear provisional coverage ranges from: 2 weeks to 1 month.
Provisional
restoration is a temporary protective covering that is temporarily cemented to a prepared tooth for a single crown or to abutment teeth for a bridge preparation.
Reduces
sensitivity and discomfort in the prepared tooth. Maintains the function and esthetics of the tooth. Protects the margins of the preparations. Prevents shifting of the adjacent or opposing teeth.
Must be esthetically acceptable to the patient. The contours are similar to those of the natural tooth. The cervical margin is smooth and fits snugly. Does not extend below the margin of the preparation. The occlusal surface is aligned with the occlusal plane of the adjacent teeth. When cemented, it remains stable, stays in place, and is comfortable for the patient. Can be readily removed without damage to the tooth or adjacent tissues.

The
Pressform matrix method is an alternate technique to the omnivac method of provisional matrix construction. An advantage of this technique is that it does not require a cast that has been trimmed to one inch thick or less. No suction or omnivac machine is required. This type of matrix can be constructed on a cast that has already been mounted on an articulator. This method is also less expensive than the omnivac method.
