Description
Summary:This article describes a procedure in which polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tape is used as a liner for fitting intracoronally retained, indirect restorations. The minimal thickness of the tape allows complete seating and confirmation of marginal fit of restorations during try-in, yet the tape is tough enough to permit trouble-free removal of the restoration afterward. Protection against inadvertent loss of the restoration can be gained if a knot is placed close to the occlusal surface of the restoration prior to its removal. (J Prosthet Dent 2002;87:395-8.)
