Abstract
Fabrication of provisional restorations has been explained using different materials
and techniques in the past. Formation of an external matrix before preparation of
the abutment, which is later used in combination with a resin material, is one of
the techniques. Here, a new material has been used as matrix in direct, indirect and
indirect-direct methods to produce esthetic and functional provisional restorations.
There is neither wasting of chair side time nor a second visit for the patient.
