MANY OF YOU ASKED: “HOW TO REMOVE SPOT-ETCH VENEER PROVISIONALS?” HERE ARE some suggestions and TIPS… Slice provisional carefully and pry into pieces. Since it’s only bonded in small spot, it comes out easily. Adjust the small bonded area and remove composite before try in. TIP: use small UV light to see remaining composite! Only etch and bond the enamel in a small area of about 1-2 mm2. DO NOT PLACE BOND on ENTIRE TOOTH! Use separating agent if in doubt or after IDS. Place PTFE in tight interproximal areas (not needed if you followed our preparation guidelines with slight separation!)… MY personal PREFERENCE - if I don’t have a lab-made (milled, printed or conventional) shell provisional- is often to make an “indirect” provisional with the PVS index (apply separating agent on teeth beforehand!!!), remove it, reline if needed (flowable composite), adjust and polish, spot bond… ⚠️ Always Insert definitive restorations AS SOON AS POSSIBLE! . . . . . #estheticdentistry #cosmeticdentistry #dentist #operativedentistry #laminateveneer #porcelainveneers #restorativedentistry
