Åsa Sjöholm: The provisional crown, a communication tool
Video highlights
- Communication of soft tissue profiles between dental laboratory and practice via the provisional crown
- Importance of emergence profile of provisional crown in soft tissue support after immediate implant placement
- Immediate implant placement and provisional restorations general session
- Nobel Biocare New York Global Symposium 2016
The provisional crown on an immediately placed implant represents a highly valuable tool when it comes to soft tissue management, reestablishment of function and communication in order to design the permanent crown. This becomes critically important in the case of anterior restorations and highly esthetic cases.
This lecture will focus on the dental laboratory’s perspective on the design of provisional restorations. The laboratory workflow and its integration into the overall treatment plan will be highlighted.
