Discuss the role of the expanded functions dental assistant in making a provisional coverage

The expanded-function dental assistant (EFDA) can play a major role in the fabrication and temporary cementation of a provisional crown or bridge. It is the dentist’s and the EFDA’s responsibility to remain current with the new provisional materials and techniques that are available. It is essential that a provisional crown or bridge remain cemented while the fixed prosthesis is being prepared and delivered to the dental office. When the patient returns for final cementation of a fixed crown or bridge, the provisional should be cautiously removed without causing any fracture or harm, just in case it will need to be recemented if the final prostheses needs to be sent back to the lab for adjustments and remake.
