In our workshop we want to break the myth of ugly temp-pretty final and raise the value of outstanding temp-better final. We will present the rationale for excellent provisionalisation using different materials and techniques. The implications or poor provisionals are too many to list here and the benefits of spending time and effort on them are priceless.
We will demostrate and make 3 types of provisional crowns: bisacryl, restorative composite and shell PMMA crowns.
We will also demonstrate and practice staining and glazing provisionals to create effects and life like restorations.
You skills and confidence in making oustanding provisionals will get a huge boost after our workshop
