Obturation Provisoire

Temporary filling materials for sealing a cavity or an access opening between visits, in zinc oxide eugenol, light-cured and self-curing formulations. A good temporary seal keeps bacteria and saliva out while the tooth waits for its final restoration.

Premixed self-curing materials set on contact with moisture and are quick to place. Light-cured temporaries are easy to remove in one piece. Zinc oxide eugenol has a soothing effect on the pulp but should be avoided under composite restorations.

Place enough thickness to resist chewing forces, typically at least 3 to 4mm in endodontic access cavities.
