Temporary or provisional crowns can be made of lots of things, including filling material. By its definition, the temporary crown is designed to only preserve the prep and maintain the space until the permanent crown is ready to be placed. This should be only a fews days to a few weeks. As long as the temporary crown lasts intact until the permanent crown is placed, what it is made of is not all that important.

Can you fill in your own cavity or do they sell the one that your cavity filling is lost then you can go buy another filling?

Some pharmacies sell a temporary filling material that may relieve some discomfort until you can see a dentist. It is only temporary, and it does nothing to stop decay or infection. If you do not see a dentist soon, you run the risk of needing a root canal or even possibly losing the tooth.

The tooth is protected by a temporary filling or crown until a permanent restoration may be made. This restoration is usually a gold or porcelain crown, although it may be a gold inlay, or an amalgam or composite filling (paste fillings that harden).


If you had a root canal done 11 months ago with only a temporary filling and you now have braces can you still have the root canal finished?

usually. The braces will not effect the root canal therapy, which should be completed ASAP. Temporary fillings are just that - temporary. They can break down and begin to leak after a certain amount of time. The tooth likely will need a crown after the root canal is completed, in which case the braces may impede the process. At the very least, request a permanent material/filling is placed at the time of root canal completion.

Temporary filling of Zoe the patient recalled after 21 days?

If Zoe, the patient, received a temporary filling, it is typically intended to provide short-term relief and protect the tooth until a permanent restoration can be placed. After 21 days, it's essential for her to return for evaluation, as prolonged use of a temporary filling can lead to issues such as sensitivity, decay, or further damage. The dentist will assess the condition of the tooth and determine the appropriate next steps for a permanent filling. Regular follow-ups are crucial to ensure the tooth remains healthy and to avoid complications.

Gold is useful as a filling material because it is malleable (easy to shape) and it does not corrode and therefore lasts a long time.
