Temporary restorations may be short-term, but they play a critical role. Like a spare tire that keeps you safely on the road, provisionals protect prepared teeth, maintain form and function, and keep patients comfortable—often for weeks at a time. To meet these demands, clinicians need materials that can reliably perform throughout the provisional phase.
Fast & Easy Workflow
Indicated for fabrication of temporary crowns, bridges, inlays, and onlays, Patterson Temporary Crown and Bridge Material offers an easy way to achieve predictable provisional outcomes. This fluorescent, chemical-cure, paste-paste system comes with a 4:1/10:1 dispenser that enables accurate, automatic delivery. The material changes consistency from a flowable to an elastic phase and features a setting time of less than 60 seconds—benefits that streamline restoration fabrication.
“This is an exceptional product that’s very easy to use and produces great results,” Dr. Carl Sakamaki said. “The setting time is quick but not too fast. It is very accurate, and the margins were exceptional.”
Better Restorations, Happier Patients
Patterson Temporary Crown and Bridge Material is not only easier and more efficient to work with than many other products but can also produce more resilient restorations. As Dr. Varo Boyer discovered, “It is much stronger than my current material and does not break when I remove it, even if the walls are thin. Patients are happier, and it minimizes return visits.”
Along with impressive physical properties, restorations made with Patterson Temporary Crown and Bridge Material exhibit ideal esthetics.
The material comes in 6 shades—A1, A2, A3, A3.5, B1, and Bleach—and permits easy shade matching, finishing, and polishing for a seamless blend with surrounding dentition.
“The color match was spot on,” said Dr. Sakamaki, who used the material to replace a bridge on teeth Nos. 7 through 9 and veneers on Nos. 6, 10, and 11. “They all came out great; the patient was very pleased and thought they were the finished product.”
On top of its other advantages, Patterson Temporary Crown and Bridge Material is available at a lower price point than most competitive products. “That’s a win,” said Dr. Jimmy Tran.
