Esthetic Temporary Fabrication:
An Innovative Technique
Continued
Final Procedures
It is best to do a partial cure of the composite (Figure 6), remove the impression, and trim off the excess composite (Figure 7). Margination of the composite is sometimes improved by using a 12-fluted 7901 carbide bur (Brasseler USA®) (Figure 8). Apply a surface sealant (Palaseal®, J. F. Jelenko & Co., Inc.) before fully light-curing the sealant and the composite (Figure 9). The result is a fully cured, strong, esthetic temporary restoration with excellent retention (Figure 10).
