The Indirect Working Die Technique for Fabrication of Provisional Restorations

Chairside technique for expediting indirect interim restorations

“…The use of flexible casts and dies for the chairside fabrication of interim restorations has been reported to overcome the drawbacks of the direct technique and provide a safe and biocompatible fabrication process. [1][2][3][4][5] Because of the elasticity of these casts, removing the interim restoration after complete setting is easy, and the integrity of the casts is maintained. Unlike stone casts, the flexible cast can be reused if a new interim restoration is needed later.…”
