14. Resin-bonded Fixed Dental Prostheses Flashcards
Resin-Retained Fixed FDPs
v It consists of one or more pontics supported by thin ____ retainers placed lingually and proximally on the abutment teeth.
v It relies on ____ bonding between etched enamel and metal casting.
v It is based on the concept of v____ Dentistry
metal
adhesive
minimum invasive
Cast Perforated Resin Retained FDPs.
v Rochette in 1973 introduced this technique.
v Wing like retainers with funnel shaped perforations to provide ____.
v The restorations were bonded with heavily filled composite resin as luting medium.
v Problems
ØWeakening of the retainer by ____.
Ø____ to wear of the resin at the perforation.
ØLimited ____.
mechanical retention
perforation
exposure
adhesion
Etched Cast Resin Retained FDPs (“Maryland Bridge”)
v Thompson and Livaditis at the university of Maryland developed a technique for electrolytic etching of Ni-Cr and Cr-Co alloys.
v Advantages include:
____ is improved because the resin-to-etched metal bond is much stronger
Ø The oral surface of the cast retainer is highly ____ and resists plaque accumulation.
Ø Micromechanical bonding into the undercuts in the metal casting created by ____.
retention
polished
etching
Macroscopic Mechanical Retention (“Virginia Bridge”)
vWas developed at the Virginia University, School of Dentistry.
vIt involves a “lost salt Crystals” technique by incorporating salt crystals into the retainer patterns to produce roughness on the inner surfaces. (____ Mechanical Retention)
vThis technique permits the use of any ____.
macroscopic
metal ceramic alloys
Chemical Bonding Resin Retained FDPs (Adhesion Bridges)
v Development of adhesive systems for ____ adhesion to metal.
v It is based on the addition and modification of the cement with adhesion promoter ____, a halogenated Phosphate group in its structure, allows for better ____ to metal
v ____ has shown excellent bonds to air abraded Ni-Cr and Cr-Co alloys as well as tin plated gold and gold palladium -based alloys.
direct
4-META
adhesion
panavia
PREPARATION OF THE METAL SURFACES
Electrochemical pit corroding technique using a 3.5% solution of nitric acid, and utilizing an electric current for 5 minutes, followed by immersion in 18% Hydrochloric acid for 10 minutes -> It’s not always successful though
Later the surfaces were coated with pylorized ____ which improved the retention
In adhesion bridges, sandblasting with ____ is considered just as effective as all the other method
silane
aluminum oxide
THE ROCATEC SYSTEM
The most recent method of abrading the inner surface of the metal retainer resulted in the deposit of ____ on this surface.
With the subsequent addition of ____, this facilitated the bonding procedure
silica
silane
THE ROCATEC SYSTEM
Sand blasting with110 um Aluminium Oxide with a force of 280 megapascals at a terrific speed
This is followed by a chemical procedure with a further blast of sand mixed with ____.
The impact energy resulting from this process allows the silicon particles to actually ____ with the roughness in the metal This improves the ____ of the cement to the bridge
silicon dioxide
fuse
adhesion
Patient Assessment, Diagnosis, and Treatment Planning
l Before providing the patient with a resin bond retained prosthesis, careful and thorough assessment is important.
l This assessment should include: ____
vExamination ____ vDiagnostic casts
history
radiographs
ØThe occlusion with the opposing arch should allow sufficient space for the prosthesis after tooth preparation.
ØLoss of space through drifting may pose a problem in pontic construction
ØThe possible presence of
____ habits and ____ should be evaluated
parafunction
dietary habits
Patient Assessment, Diagnosis, and Treatment Planning
ØThe alveolar ridge in the pontic area should have a firm healthy ____.
ØThe extent of tooth preparation should be evaluated in relation to the path of ____ of the prosthesis and presence of undercuts
mucoperiosteum
insertion
ØActive periodontal disease and caries may ____ the construction of a prosthesis.
ØThe need for crown ____ should be considered.
ØAbutments should be tested for vitality, and ____ taken to assess root length and periodontal support.
contraindicate
lengthening
radiographs
