Week 6 - Provisional Restoration 1
, When a tooth has been prepared to receive a crown, sufficient tooth
material has been removed to create a space between the adjacent
tooth & the opposing teeth
A prepared tooth without occlusal/incisal & proximal contact may
migrate laterally or occlusally/incisally within a few days

potentially harmful thermal, chemical, mechanical, and bacterial effects
in the oral cavity

temperature and the chemical irritants of the material placed
Materials must be compatible
Must be well-adapted to the preparation
