In Vitro Infrared Thermographic Assessment of Temperature Change in the Pulp Chamber during Provisionalization: Effect of Remaining Dentin Thickness

Table 1

Thickness of remaining dentin and temperature increases (mean, standard deviation, and range) recorded on the entire surface of the chamber roof during fabrication of provisional restoration.
