Product Description
DuraTemp® provisionals are laboratory-fabricated provisional restorations that are much more durable and esthetic than traditional chair-side fabricated provisionals, even rivaling the finished restorations. DuraTemp® provisionals will save you valuable chair-time by streamlining your provisional process and will deliver your patients a prototype smile at the prep appointment. Provisionals can be fabricated for single crowns and multi-units including splinted full-arch bridges. When altering VDO, DuraTemp® provisional are excellent to establish a predetermined ideal vertical prior to prepping any teeth. DuraTemps are very advantageous for immediate extraction cases, allowing you to create the ideal pontic site shaping.
DuraTemp® provisionals can be fabricated from either the pre-operative or prepped models. Many of our clinicians use DuraTemp as a diagnostic outline for the final restorations. You and your patient can pre-approve the length, contours, and shade after seating the DuraTemps. Once you and the patient are satisfied with the provisional’s design modifications, take an impression of the DuraTemp® provisionals in place and send to the lab along with the final prepped impressions. The lab will then use the model of the DuraTemps in place to use as a guideline for the final restorations.
DuraTemp® provisionals increase your profitability by reducing the time you and your staff will spend chair-side fabricating traditional provisionals. DuraTemps allow you and your team to free up more chair-time and be more productive.
DuraTemp® provisionals come backed with a six-month warranty against breakage.
