Abstract: Provided is a method for producing a temporary prosthesis that can be easily performed at a dental clinic and that at the same time enables fabrication of a temporary prosthesis that is less susceptible to wear and damage. The present invention is achieved by fabricating an occlusal surface with a dental composite resin that has higher strength compared to a conventional room temperature polymerization resin. The method includes fabricating a prosthesis model, using an impression material to take an impression of a prepared tooth model having the prosthesis model mounted thereon, applying a layer of dental composite resin material to a portion that is to become a crown within the impression that has been removed from the prepared tooth model and polymerizing the composite resin material, putting a powder-liquid mixture of a powder-liquid type room temperature polymerization resin into the impression, refitting the prepared tooth model to the impression, and curing the room temperature polymerization resin.
