Engineer Provisionals That Don’t Break.
Provisionals are not just temporary placeholders; they are the critical test drive for the final restoration and the patient’s first impression. A broken temporary bridge can cause tissue collapse, lost chair time, and severe patient dissatisfaction. China Dental Design offers an elite Temporary Crown CAD Design service engineered specifically for maximum structural integrity. We meticulously calculate stress points to ensure your PMMA milled or 3D Printed Resin bridge flawlessly survives the healing period.
Technical CAD Engineering Specifications
We digitally adjust the CAD parameters based strictly on your in-house manufacturing method (Milling vs. 3D Printing) and the specific clinical requirements:
Structural Integrity
- Connector Cross-Section: We strictly adhere to material minimums (e.g., >12mm² for posterior PMMA bridges) to prevent catastrophic snapping at the pontic connector.
- Minimum Thickness: We respect the 0.8mm – 1.0mm minimum thickness rule across all load-bearing areas to ensure the temporary can easily withstand occlusal forces.
Digital Fit & Function
- Cement Gap Control: Customized specifically for temporary cements (typically a slightly larger gap, e.g., 60µm – 80µm) to allow for easy and safe removal later.
- Tissue Pressure: Ideal ovate pontic digital design to sculpt and shape the gingiva, perfectly preparing the site for the final emergence profile.
Two Distinct Temporary Workflows
| CAD Design Type | Technical Description | Best Clinical Application |
|---|---|---|
| Solid Full Contour | Standard full-thickness digital design. | Milling (PMMA) or 3D Printing for long-term provisionals (3-6 months). |
| Eggshell (Snap-on) | Hollowed digital design (0.3mm – 0.5mm shell). | Chairside reline over un-prepped teeth or immediate post-op protection. |
Seamless Overnight Digital Workflow
- Secure Upload: Upload the Pre-op scan (for a Copy Denture/Biocopy workflow) or the Prep scan via our 100% HIPAA-compliant portal.
- Prescribe: Specify “Solid” or “Eggshell” and indicate your exact manufacturing method (Mill or Print).
- Expert Design: We execute the Temporary Crown CAD Design natively in Exocad or 3Shape overnight.
- Download & Produce: Download the open STL file the next morning. Nest in your PMMA disc or print effortlessly with Temp Resin (e.g., SprintRay OnX, NextDent).
Planning a Large Full-Mouth Case?
Use a high-quality PMMA temporary to physically verify the VDO (Vertical Dimension) and Esthetics in the patient’s mouth. Once approved by the clinician, we can digitally copy the approved temp exactly for the final Zirconia design.
