The ability to create and modify provisional restorations simply and quickly has opened the door to predictable aesthetic dentistry.

Once the patient has approved the temporary, the lab replicates it in porcelain using silicone templates. In this CE webinar, material selection and usage, as well as the working/re-working process (all crucial to the success of temporaries) will be thoroughly discussed.
