| Abstract: | A method to provisionalize porcelain laminate veneers, similar to previously described methods for provi-sionalizing crowns, is presented. The advantages of this system include the ability to have a prototype restoration for evaluation of esthetics and phonetics, thermal protection, and protection from preparation fracture. Additional advantages include improved tissue health and ease of progressing from the provisionaliza-tion stage to the final bonding stage. |
