Ivoclar Vivadent Telio Lab - Manual (Page 25)

With long-span bridges and limited space, it is required to reinforce the temporary restoration with a
framework made of a dental alloy.
Fabricating the model
– Fabricate a master model or a model with detachable segments according to the impression in the
usual manner.
– Once the model with detachable segments has been prepared, the preparation is exposed.
– For better control, the preparation margin is marked and sealed.
– A spacer is applied on the preparation as a spaceholder for the temporary luting cement (Telio CS
Link).
Framework design
The framework design is the key to a succeful metal-supported temporary restoration. The following basic
guidelines have to be observed:
– The wax-up framework reflects the reduced anatomical tooth shape (contouring supporting the tooth
shape).
– The minimum wall thickness of 0.3–0.5 mm, depending on the alloy and the instructions of the
manufacturer, must be observed at all times.
– Sufficient connector dimensions of the metal framework must also be observed.
– Use the silicone key to check the contouring.
