What are the 5 elements to a good diagnostic workup in preparation for fixed Prothodontic treatments?
Patient Hx, TMJ/Occlusal evaluation, Intra-oral exam, Diagnostic casts, and FMX radiographs
What are some indications for fixed Prosthetics?
Caries w/significant loss of tooth structure and coronal strength, Trauma, Endodontics usually require full coverage restoration, Esthetics, and other
What is an inlay?
A restoration which lies within the cusps of a tooth
How much occlusal reduction is indicated for a full veneer crown?
Depends on the restoration materials
Where do inlays get their resistance and retention?
Internally
Where do Onlays and full veneers get their retention and resistance?
External walls must converge towards occlusal and inter line angles must diverge to allow for insertion.
What does resistance account for?
Prevents dislodgment of the restoration by oblique or apical forces and prevents movement of restoration under occlusal forces.
What prevents the removal of the restoration along the path of insertion?
Retention
What type of cement is ideal for long term placement in the oral cavity?
No cement is suited perfectly for this environment long term.
What is the most important factor under the operators control that determines whether or not a restoration will remain cemented to its prep?
The geometric shape.
What is the approximate angle of our tapered diamond instruments?
3 degrees.
How does retention relate to surface area when it comes to crown preps?
Greater surface area = greater retention.
How would doubling the diameter of a prep affect retention?
It would increase it as the area of the axial walls would be quadrupled.
Would are larger or smaller crown be more likely to fail?
Larger crowns are more likely to fail as most of the lines of action fall within the margins of the restoration and so minimal torque and rotation exist.
How does a longer crown on the same prep fair?
It is more likely to fail due to a longer lever arm.
What does Draw refer to with crowns etc?
all prep components must provide a path that allows the restoration to be seated. Undercuts will distort wax and prevent proper seating of the crown.
How do you fix and undercut?
You can fill with a basing material or remove tooth structure superior to the undercut and don’t get near the margin!
How are draw and path of insertion different?
Path of insertion relates to the influence of proximal teeth on seating the crown. On a bridge each crown must draw individually, but their paths of insertion must be parallel to permit insertion and seating of the crowns.
What is the usual path of insertion for posterior full crowns?
Parallel to long axis of the tooth.
How do you accurately assess draw?
By using one eye at 30cm.
What are depth cuts?
They facilitate accurate consistent reduction for crown preps.
What is a chamfer?
A preferred type of margin for metal and PFM
What type of margin is required for porcelain restorations?
Shoulder or butt margins
What are beveled margins good for?
Metal Only!
What types of materials are good for buildups where strength is important?
Amalgam, or large particle composite
When can Resin reinforced glass ionomer be used?
In situations where strength is not critical.
What do all build ups require?
Mecanical retention.
What are the basing materials that can be used in crown preps?
Vitribond, Glass Ionomer cement, Compomers, Flowable composite, and composites not dycal or IRM
What tapered diamond burs do we use for a chamfer?
c 856-014 and c856-016 (1mm and 1.25mm)
What is the diamond football used for?
Occlusal reduction and reduction of linguals on incisors and cuspids (c379-023)
What do the colors mean on the diamond burs?
Black-extra course, Green-course, Red-fine, and Yellow-extra fine
Which diamond burs cut faster and cooler?
The more course burs.
What are fine and extra fine diamond burs used for?
Only finishing.
What are the carbide tapered burs used for?
Interproximal cut throughs, grooves, and box preps. (100 series= flat tipped 1100 series is end cutting round tipped)
What are the carbide 12 fluted finishing burs for?
Finishing margins, adjusting occlusion and smoothing the axial walls. Some say not to smooth axial walls for better retention.
How deep should the depth cuts be?
1.0 mm on non-functional cusps and 1.5 mm on functional cusps.
What is worse and why, too little occlusal reduction or too much occlusal reduction?
Too little is worse as there will be no room for the material where the lab can compensate for too much occlusal reduction in the fabrication of the restoration.
How does Taper affect retention?
Less taper = more retention and 3 degrees is ideal. 3 degrees on each side gives a 6 degree convergence angle of the axial walls
