Question

Indicate the correct sequence of steps for placing a PREFORMED aluminum temporary crown?

Answer 1

To place a preformed aluminum temporary crown, follow these steps: cut a piece of aluminum foil, make a slit in the center, fit the crown onto the tooth, adjust the fit if needed, use dental adhesive to secure the crown, and remove any excess adhesive or foil.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Prepare a piece of aluminum foil by cutting it into a square shape of about 15 cm × 15 cm.
2. Use a utility knife and a straight edge to make a straight slit that is several centimeters long in the center of the foil.
3. Place the preformed aluminum temporary crown onto the tooth, making sure it fits properly and covers the entire tooth.
4. Adjust the fit of the crown if necessary by gently shaping and bending the foil.
5. Use a dental adhesive to secure the crown to the tooth, following the manufacturer's instructions.
6. Remove any excess adhesive or foil that may be sticking out.
