INTRODUCTION: Polycaprolactone is a hydrophobic block of amphiphilic synthetic block copolymers used to form the vesicle membrane of polymersomes. A variety of drugs have been encapsulated within PCL beads for controlled release and targeted drug delivery. Polycaprolactone can be used as a special tray, muscle deprogrammer, denture base, temporary crown and bridge, occlusal splints, etc. AIM: The aim of the study was to find out about the knowledge, awareness of polycaprolactone and its applications as a provisional material in general dental practice
