Abstract

A fast, accurate, and simple technique for fabricating custom templates used to construct customized acrylic resin temporary crowns and fixed partial dentures has been presented. Acrylic resins are used directly on the diagnostic cast to restore single tooth contours, secure pontics to the cast, and to contour edentulous areas. Duplicate casts and impressions are not needed. Acrylic resins prove superior to wax and other materials for constructing custom templates because they will not distort or melt under the heat and pressure of the thermal vacuum machine. Thus, the template is accurate and free of melted residue on the inner template surface.
