摘要：Introduction:Provisional restorations play a prominent role in prosthetic therapy procedures with fixed prostheses which includes crowns and bridges. Provisional restorations serve an important role in fixed restoration from tooth preparation and until fitting, luting the final fixed restoration. Aim; The aim of the study is to evaluate the knowledge and awareness of abrasive resistance of different composite materials used for provisional crowns among dental practitioners. Materials And Method:The present study was carried out as a survey among dental practitioners in a university setting (Saveetha dental college and hospitals, Chennai, India). Participants who attended the survey belonged to the same geographic location and had similar ethnicity. The retrospective study was achieved with the help of google forms. A total of 100 dental practitioners in the hospital were included. Results:57% of dental practitioners belonged to the age group of 21-30 years, 43% dental practitioners belonged to the age group of 31-40 years.51 dental practitioners preferred abrasive resistance, 31 dental practitioners felt that composite material appeared to be more aesthetic compared to that of other materials, 18 dental practitioners felt that hardness was better in composite materials. Conclusion:From the data obtained, the degree of awareness among dental practitioners on abrasive resistance among different composite materials has been significantly raised compared to the reference studies done in previous years.
