Abstract

Fabrication of provisional restorations has been explained using different materials and techniques in the past. Formation of an external matrix before preparation of the abutment, which is later used in combination with a resin material, is one of the techniques. Here, a new material has been used as matrix in direct, indirect and indirect-direct methods to produce esthetic and functional provisional restorations. There is neither wasting of chair side time nor a second visit for the patient.
