Temporary Crowns: Fitting and Cementation course for Dental Practice
This session will introduce you to the basic concepts underlying temporisation of teeth prepared for crowns. The role and fabrication of temporary restorations will be described.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Discuss the roles/purpose of temporary restoration
- Present various methods of fabrication and materials
- Explain the role of prolonged periods of temporisation and trial periods with provisional restorations
Following preparation of a tooth for a crown, in the majority of cases there is a delay due to the need for fabrication of the indirect restoration in a laboratory. During this period, an interim/temporary restoration is required, defined by the Glossary of Prosthodontic Terms

- Crowns/Crowns: Principles, Planning and Preparation (141-0327)
