Temporary Crown & Bridge Materials: Avue TCrown Temporary and Bridge Material

Temporary dental crowns are a vital part of many dental procedures, acting as a protective shield for a prepared tooth against thermal and mechanical stimuli, preventing micro leakage and bacterial ingress into prepared teeth, also preventing tooth movement while the final dental crown is being prepared. They act as a placeholder, making the transition to the final dental crown smooth and seamless. The selection of temporary crown materials, such as Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA), Polyethyl Methacrylate (PEMA), Bis-Acryl composite resins, composite resins and stainless steel depends on factors like strength, esthetics, and ease of manipulation during fabrication and placement. These temporary restorations need to be durable enough to withstand the forces of chewing yet easily removable when it’s time to place the permanent crown. Likewise, the choice of luting agent, whether resin-based or zinc oxide eugenol cement influences the longevity and stability of the temporary restoration.
