In today’s world, esthetic is main focus of many adults and even older and younger
generations. As the world is getting more aware of their health and their appearance,
the dentists have to keep in mind the overall facial feature including facial parameters,
smile, gums and even the personality and profession of the patient so that a pleasing
combination of all can be delivered. This trend of heightened awareness has brought a
challenge of achieving good esthetic while maintaining high end functionality and
longevity of the treatment procedure. Hence to be successful a thorough assessment,
careful planning and precise clinical execution are required. And communication
between the patient, dentist and dental laboratory is the key.
With the advancement of material science, technologies, evolution of dental
armamentarium and new treatment modalities the restoration of function, health and
aesthetic can be achieved in most conservative way possible.
Today the appearance plays a vital role in the self-esteem of a patient. Hence the
role of more natural looking tooth coloured restoration has become more prominent
and will be so in the coming future.
The restoration can be achieved in two methods that are either direct or indirect.
Although both the restorations will restore the look and function of the affected tooth,
they will do so in different ways. The method that will suit the most to the patient is
determined by various factors such as the extent of tooth damage, the location of the
damage, remaining tooth structure and of course the economical and time factor.
Indirect restorations are those that cannot be fabricated inside the mouth and instead
must be fabricated outside of the mouth before being placed on the affected tooth.
Some examples include crowns, bridges, dental implants, inlays, onlays, and veneers.
These restorations can be fabricated by a dental laboratory or an in-office milling
machine, if your dentist has one. In cases where a dental lab is used, there are usually
two dental appointments required to place an indirect restoration.
In the following chapter we will be focusing on the indirect tooth coloured restoration.
Various materials, methods, indication, contraindication, advantages and
disadvantages along with studies on success of the restorations will be discussed.
Provisional and definitive retoration
To know which material should be used in a particular clinical situation we first
need to acquire the knowledge about the materials available, their properties, there
indication, contraindication, application, fabrication.
In the following section we’ll cover the above mention features of tooth coloured
restorative material available with emphasis on ceramic restorative material. As this
dissertation is concerned with the indirect tooth coloured restorative material, we’ll
discuss the materials in two categories viz provisionaland definitive restoration.
Before proceeding further first we should know what do you mean by provisional
and definitive restoration:
Provisional prosthesis: The word “provisional” means something that is
established for a time being, pending a permanent arrangement. GPT-9 defines
provisional prosthesis as “A fixed or removable dental prosthesis, designed to enhance
esthetics, stabilization and/or function for a limited period of time, after which it is to
be replaced by a definitive dental prosthesis.”
Interim, temporary, transitional, treatment restoration is used synonymously for
provisional restoration.Gratton, D. G., & Aquilino, S. A. (2004). Interim restorations. Dental Clinics of North America, 48(2), 487–497.
Definitive prosthesis: Any dental prosthesis that is designed for long term use.
Usually a definitive prosthesis is expected to last for at least 25-30 years .gpt-9
Permanent, long term restoration is used synonymously for definitive restoration.

CHAPTER-3
Proviosional restoration
Provisional crowns or fixed partial dentures are essential to prosthodontic therapy
Some clinicians and patients alike, may be tempted to minimize and devalue their
importance specifically due to their transitional nature By extension, it can be
inappropriate to refer to provisional restorations as “temporary” restorations, a term
that tends to minimize their therapeutic value and strategic role. Nothing could be
further from the truth. The provisional restoration stage is an essential step in
achieving consistently predictable success in the functional and esthetic outcomes in
fixed prosthodontics.Oliver Pin-Harry, ,Provisional Restorations in Fixed Prosthodontics: An Essential Step for Success,November 10, 2020
This chapter will discuss the strategic role and practical utilization of
provisional restorations in a contemporary practice of prosthodontics which can help
the clinician enhance his/her fixed prosthodontic therapy. Provisional materials, their
properties and comparisons Techniques of fabrication are briefly presented although
more possibilities have become available to the clinician with digital technology.
However, it is beyond the scope of this dissertation to cover all the materials available
as this dissertation is concerned only with the tooth-coloured indirect-restorations.
