The Effects and Roles of Provisional Restoraton

Abstract

Provisional restoration is an important method when considering post treatment results and the predictability of post re-constructive therapy both biologically and functionally.
Provisional restoration are usually made with acrylic resin. However, metal provisional restorations are more effective as implant surgical stents and protect operated areas. They also act as occlusal atabilizers during the healing period.
This paper presents the clear advantage of metal provisional restorations over the usage of acrylic resin.
