Provisional Restorations in Dentistry. Research on physical properties of commonly used provisional restorations- An in-vitro study

      Аннотация: Provisional restorations also known as interim restoration are integral component of any prosthodontic treatment procedures. They are fabricated to enhance esthetics, stabilization and function for a short duration of time. Patients must be provided with provisional restoration from initial tooth preparation until definitive prosthesis is placed. The flexural strength and modulus of elasticity plays an integral role in the success of provisional restorations. Thus, the main purpose of the study is to evaluate and compare the flexural strength and modulus of elasticity of three provisional restorative materials.
