Temporary filling materials are designed to seal cavities and protect the tooth between appointments. These materials prevent bacterial contamination, thermal sensitivity, and food impaction while maintaining the tooth’s functional integrity.
Commonly used in endodontic and restorative procedures, temporary fillings are easy to place and remove, offering short-term protection until the final restoration is placed. They set quickly, adhere well, and provide effective sealing properties against microleakage.
Dentists use temporary filling materials after pulp treatment, cavity preparation, or as a diagnostic step before permanent restoration.
Reliable and easy to manipulate, temporary filling materials ensure patient comfort and maintain clinical control between visits, an essential part of every restorative workflow.
