Dental CE Course: Fabrication of Provisional Fixed Prostheses for Auxiliaries

Provisional restorations for fixed prostheses are usually made in a hurry and often take more time than the tooth preparation. Quality can easily be improved for your patients with cost and timesaving techniques. This one-day course provides current information in fabricating the provisional restoration for dental auxiliaries. Single anterior and pos- terior provisional restorations utilizing prefabricated crowns and matrix techniques will be reviewed. More advanced techniques such as multiple unit and veneer provisional restorations will be covered in lecture and in the technical, hands-on portion. Casts and several provisional materials will be provided for hands-on practice. Cementation and removal of provisional restorations will also be taught.

Educational Objectives:

This one-day course is designed so that, upon completion, the participant will have:

1. The theoretical knowledge of provisional restorations.

2. Practical experience necessary to fabricate a variety of provisional restorations.

3. The ability to properly contour the provisional restorations.
