What type of provisional crown uses a polymer shell filled with hybrid composite resin for bonding?

The type of provisional crown that uses a polymer shell filled with hybrid composite resin for bonding is the preformed polymer crown. This crown is designed to be a temporary solution while the patient awaits a more permanent restoration. The use of a polymer shell provides a lightweight and aesthetic option, which is important for patients concerned about the appearance of provisional restorations. The hybrid composite resin enhances the bonding ability, ensuring that the crown stays securely in place during the interim period.

Preformed polymer crowns are specifically manufactured to fit various tooth sizes and shapes, making them convenient for dental professionals to use. The combination of the polymer shell and the composite resin allows for easy adjustment and ensures a good fit and function until a permanent crown can be placed. This temporary solution balances both functionality and aesthetics while protecting the underlying tooth structure.
