11/21 - Substructures, 63-67, 203-210 Flashcards
what condition:
sufficient length
wall thickness >/= 1.0 mm
all cusps present
moderate loss
preparation features of moderate loss
cement base block out of undercuts
classic prep
what condition:
Short preparation
50% of crown remaining
Wall thickness = 1.0 mm
Thickness/length ratio > 1.0
Excessive taper
More serious if an abutment
moderate/severe loss
preparation features of moderate/severe loss
Modified preparation
Existing features retained
New features added (boxes, grooves, pinholes, vertical walls)
what condition:
<50% of crown remaining
Short preparation-crown ratio
Wall thickness < 1.0 mm
Thickness-height ratio < 1.0
severe destruction
preparation features of severe destruction
Possible elective devitalization and dowel core
Walls with thickness-height ratio < 1:2 shortened or removed
Walls with thickness-height ratio of 1:1 to 1:2 supported with core
Ferrule effect in preparation
Pin(s) integrated into casting
what condition:
central destruction
enamel (if any) is undermined
total coronal loss
preparation features for total coronal loss
Dowel core + crown on single-rooted tooth
Pin-retained core + crown on molar
is the base a part of substructure/core/buildup? what is it’s purpose
NOT PART! purpose is to protect the pulp
T/F: large central lesion may require a full coverage restoration, but only after tooth is built up with a core
TRUE
what is intracoronal restoration that covers cusp
onlay
how many clearance needed to pulp for substructure
1 mm
if significantly less than 180 degrees of tooth circumference remains between two boxes [of PM], what is susceptible to occur
the lingual cusp is susceptible to fracture during function, upon removal of provisional restoration, or at try in of the permanent restoration
pins should always be halfway thru what
between pulp and external surface
where do you primarily want to put pins
over where cusps are normally or line angles
interproximal caries may preempt the use of what
a groove
what can be incorporated into a crown to augment retention and resistance
pin (which can also be used to retain a core which in turn will help retain a crown)
if the tooth to be prepared for a cast restoration has been only MODERATELY damaged, what can be done
standard MOD only preparation or a three quarter crown preparationwith boxes
if one cusp is destroyed, what can be done
widened box with groove augmentation
when half of the crown has been destroyed, what can be done
grooves may provide sufficient retention if the supragingival tooth structure in which they are placed has sufficient length. pinholes may be added to the preparation
