Long-term, Provisional, 3D Printed Restorations as Part of a Complex Treatment Plan

Dentistry Today

Utilization of 3D printing allows the fabrication of provisional restorations during the same appointment as prep and design, yielding same-day aesthetic provisionals without needing to wait for fabrication by an outside lab. This included endodontic treatment of the maxillary canines bilaterally, caries removal on tooth No.
