Provisional restorations are designed in order to protect oral structures and promote function and esthetics for a limited period of time, after which they are to be replaced by a definite prosthesis. They play a particular role in diagnostic procedures and continued evaluation of the treatment plan, as they should resemble the form and function of the definite rehabilitation that they precede. Therefore, interim treatment should satisfy the criteria of marginal adaptation, strength, and longevity. In complicated treatment plans that intend to last for extended periods of time, the function of provisional prostheses involves the possibility of relining, modification, or repair. These adjustments raise considerations regarding the strength of the resultant bond. Chemical composition of the base and repair material, surface characteristics of fracture parts, and time elapsed since the initial set of the rehabilitation should be considered in the decision of the appropriate repair material and technique. Proper pretreatment of the provisional components' surfaces is essential to ensure bonding as well.The purpose of this article is to illustrate the management of provisional restorations' deficiencies. This article highlights possible failures of custom-fabricated provisional restorations, describes methods to prevent their occurrence, and discusses clinical techniques for their management. Finally, the proper combination of materials and surface preparation to achieve the optimum treatment outcomes are presented. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCEProvisional restorations' failures and other deficiencies are encountered by clinicians on a daily basis. Adequate laboratory techniques and material combinations presented herein may contribute to their efficient and predictable modifications and repairs.

“…Provisional restorations are also an excellent checking tool for the adequacy of tooth reduction. Therefore, provisional restorations have an essential role as a blueprint for the defi nitive restoration to foresee the ideal treatment outcome prior to carrying out the defi nitive rehabilitation (Fox et al 1984 ;Luthardt et al 2000 ). Additionally, highly esthetic provisional anterior restorations may make the patient more confi dent in the clinician's ability to perform the treatment.…”

Teeth prepared for partial or full-coverage restorations must be protected and stabilized with provisional restorations that reproduce the form and function of the fi nal restoration. Provisional treatment may also provide an important tool for the management of patients, as a common perception of the treatment outcome and respective limitations can be identifi ed. It is therefore imperative to fabricate high-quality provisional restorations to achieve a successful treatment. This chapter will focus on current materials for provisional restorations, their advantages and limitations.

Statement of problem: Flexural strength is important in determining the strength of interim restorations and it is especially important in long span and long term interim restorations. Studies comparing the flexural strength of provisional restorative materials are limited and inconclusive. Aim: To compare the flexural strength of provisional restorative material fabricated using light polymerized composite resin, Urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) and auto polymerized resin, Poly Methyl Methacrylate (PMMA) Materials And Methods: This study included 40 specimens. Twenty bar-shaped specimens were fabricated for each group Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA), and Urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA) with the use of a split machined metal mold. These specimens were stored in artificial saliva for 10 days. Flexural strength was calculated using three point bending test under universal testing machine. Data were analysed using student-ttest (α=0.05) @ 90% power. Results: The mean flexural strength of provisional restorative specimen fabricated using Poly Methyl Methacrylate (PMMA-134.1 Mpa) was significantly higher than Flexural strength of provisional restorative specimen fabricated using urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA-107.8 Mpa). Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study by analyzing the results, it was concluded that the flexural strength of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is comparatively better than the flexural strength of Urethane dimethacrylate (UDMA). PMMA could be a better provisional restorative material for an extended period, when the patient exhibits parafunctional habits, or when long-span prosthesis is planned.
