Course Description Fabricating and refining anterior provisionals is one of the most valuable skills a dental assistant can master. Anterior provisionals are not only functional but also esthetic placeholders that directly affect patient confidence, comfort, and case acceptance. This course provides a step-by-step approach to trimming and finishing anterior provisionals with precision, focusing on contour, occlusion, polish, and esthetics. Participants will gain confidence in their role by learning how to create provisionals that mimic natural dentition and meet both patient and dentist expectations.

The comfort and convenience patients experience during the impression taking process become irrelevant if they must endure the process again because the impressions are inaccurate, unstable, or deformed.
