BAAD 2026 Masterclass with Mirela Feraru

The art of beautiful provisional restorations for ultimate soft tissue control

Provisional Restorations That Shape the Final Result

Up-to-Date Techniques for Veneers & Crowns

Abstract

Provisional restorations are no longer simple temporaries—they are a decisive clinical tool that guides esthetics, function, biology, and communication throughout restorative treatment. This one-day masterclass focuses on contemporary provisional techniques for veneers and crowns, highlighting how different clinical approaches influence the final outcome.

The lecture component will explore indication-based selection of provisional strategies, including direct versus indirect techniques, material choices, mock-up-driven provisionals, and digital-assisted workflows. Emphasis will be placed on shaping soft tissue, controlling emergence profiles, evaluating esthetics and function, and using provisionals as a blueprint for the definitive restoration.

The hands-on session will translate theory into practice, allowing participants to apply modern provisionalization techniques, refine contours, and understand how provisional restorations serve as a diagnostic, communicative, and predictive step in esthetic dentistry.
