A chair side cast with removable die for the fabrication of indirect composite resin restorations
The fabrication of indirect composite resin restorations (ICRRs) presents multiple advantages over direct techniques. While sharing the advantage of direct repair in the event of a fracture, when compared with direct composite resin restorations, ICRRs require less intraoral time and increase patient comfort. Facilitated manipulation and control of restorative materials improving marginal adaptation and control over polymerization shrinkage are also advantages of ICRRs.1 However, a disadvantage of ICRRs is the need to obtain a definitive cast with a removable die, typically preventing single-appointment procedures.
