Fabrication of provisional restorations is an important procedure in fixed prosthodontics. Provisional restorations must satisfy the requirements of pulpal protection, positional stability, occlusal function, ability to be cleansed, margin accuracy, wear resistance, strength, and esthetics. They serve the critical function of providing a template for the final restorations once they have been evaluated intraorally. It is a survey based study conducted in an online setting, done among the Undergraduate students . The sample size is 100 undergraduate students . Sampling method used is simple random sampling. Randomisation was done to minimise bias. Internal validity was a pretested questionnaire. External validity was Homogenisation, replication of experiment and cross verification with existing studies. Data analysis was done in SPSS software. Statistical test used was the chi square test. Dependent variables were demographics such as age, gender. Independent variables were materials used in provisional crowns . 39.0% responded Acrylics as the commonly used material for single and multiple unit provisional crowns . 73.0% responded Acrylics are more versatile than other materials . 39.0% of the participants responded that Bis-acryl materials are more commonly used than other materials .Most of the undergraduate students think acrylics are best for provisional crowns . This study aims to establish awareness on various materials used in fabrication of provisional crowns.
