Abstract
The trial restoration increases outcome predictability in restorative treatments,
enhances communication among specialists and patients, and guides tooth preparations.
It should reproduce the planned design precisely because many decisions will be made
based on the transferred design. Traditionally, a diagnostic waxing design is transferred
to the mouth with a flexible silicone matrix. However, a rigid matrix would ensure
an accurate transfer of the planned design by avoiding the deformation of the silicone
index. A step-by-step technique for fabricating a computer-aided design and computer-aided
manufactured (CAD-CAM) rigid matrix relined with polyvinyl siloxane material to fabricate
a trial restoration is presented. The technique ensures accurate detail reproduction
and dimensional stability, avoiding deformation and ensuring a predictable transfer
of the planned design.
