Properties of temporary teeth

1. Restoration of function: With temporary teeth, patients can regain a certain degree of chewing function, which is essential for maintaining oral health and nutritional balance.
2. Aesthetics: Especially for patients with missing front teeth, temporary teeth can restore aesthetics and enhance the patient's self-confidence and social skills.
3. Protection: Temporary teeth can also protect teeth from irritating the nerve or causing problems such as splintering and chipping. For example, after root canal treatment, temporary teeth can prevent the tooth from becoming brittle due to the loss of pulp.
4. Contouring: In implant restorations, temporary teeth can also contour the gums around the implant for a more natural, aesthetic appearance.
5. Communication bridge: Temporary teeth provide the patient with a sense of the future permanent denture, which helps the doctor communicate more effectively with the patient about the aesthetic requirements of the permanent restoration, among other things.
