Composite veneered acrylic resin provisional restorations for complete veneer crowns.

摘要

Restorations that are remade to improve esthetics, teeth with pronounced gingival-to-incisal color contrast, or high-value translucent teeth can limit the capability of shaded acrylic resin provisional restorations to satisfy the esthetic demands of certain patients. This article describes a procedure to incorporate a composite veneer in an acrylic resin provisional restoration. Improved optical properties of microfilled composite are combined with the excellent marginal seal and contour of acrylic resin. Precise control of color, translucency, and surface texture provide excellent interim esthetics and a better guide for the definitive prosthesis.
