Latest Applications and Trends of PMMA in Provisional Dental Restorations

PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) is a go-to for temporary restorations, and 2025 is bringing exciting updates for dental labs. From enhanced aesthetics to 3D printing, PMMA is evolving fast.

Multilayer PMMA blocks now feature gradient shading, mimicking natural teeth for better provisional aesthetics [1]. These blocks mill 10% faster, saving lab time [2]. 3D-printed PMMA resins are also gaining traction, offering high-resolution temporaries with intricate designs.

Bioactive PMMA variants reduce bacterial adhesion by 10%, lowering infection risks for long-term temporaries [3]. These advancements make PMMA a vital tool in digital workflows.
