Protocols for the Placement of Temporary Restorations

The Maine State Board of Dental Examiners recognizes the unique position of the Independent Practice Dental Hygienist and the Public Health Supervision Hygienists in serving the citizens of Maine.  Within the accepted scope of practice of dental hygiene is the ability to place temporary restorations in compliance with the protocol adopted by the Board.  It is important to note that not all carious lesions are candidates for temporary restorations.  The protocols, available below, include the algorithms used to determine the appropriateness of the placement of a temporary filling.
