1. Pre-Treatment and Preparation

· Take an impression of the prepared teeth (prior to tooth preparation, if pre-op technique is used).

· Prepare the teeth and ensure they are clean and dry.

2. Dispensing the Material

· Insert the 50 mL automix cartridge into a 3M™ Garant™ dispenser.

· Attach a mixing tip (green) to the cartridge.

· Dispense the material directly into the impression or onto the provisional crown form.

3. Placement

· Seat the filled impression or crown form over the prepared tooth.

· Allow material to set intraorally for approximately 1 minute 40 seconds.

4. Removal

· Gently remove the provisional restoration from the mouth once the material reaches an elastic stage.

· Allow the material to fully set outside the mouth (total setting time approx. 5 minutes).

5. Finishing and Polishing

· Trim and adjust margins with rotary instruments as needed.

· Protemp™ 4 develops a glossy surface finish without the need for polishing or glazing.

6. Cementation

· Cement the provisional restoration using a temporary luting cement such as 3M™ RelyX™ Temp NE or equivalent.

⚠️ Tips:

· Do not light cure; Protemp™ 4 is chemically cured.

Avoid excessive moisture during setting for best results.
