To accomplish prosthetic rehabilitation, a series of important procedures must be followed to achieve the correct final prosthetic outcome. The protocol presented in this article proposes a different approach that involves relining the temporary crowns during the provisional phase by means of a repositioning key. This approach is especially useful for therapeutic provisional restoration in patients with temporomandibular joint disorders.
