A temporary resin crown is a short-term dental restoration made from acrylic or composite resin. It is used to protect a prepared tooth while a permanent crown is being fabricated. These crowns help maintain tooth function, prevent sensitivity, and preserve gum health during the interim period. Though not as strong or durable as permanent crowns, resin crowns are easy to adjust and provide an acceptable aesthetic appearance. They are typically cemented with temporary adhesive for easy removal. Dentists use them after tooth preparation for crowns, bridges, or veneers to ensure comfort and protection until the final restoration is placed.
