Q

How can you test clinically if a conventional bridge has debonded

A
place probe under pontic and apply pressure coronally
visually look for flex
floss
look for bubbles of saliva
good light
  • may be grossly carious visibly or radiographically

Q

4 design/prep features that could lead to conventional bridge debonding

A

poor crown preparation, insufficient reduction or crown margins finished subgingivally

retainers not prepped to common path of insertion

lack of sufficient ferrule for crown

inadequate root surface area for support- ante’s law

poor moisture control during cementation

Q

Mechanism of vertical bony defect?

factors causing vertical defect

A

the plaque has a zone of destruction surrounding the biofilm - 2mm
if bone is thicker than this and on one tooth only the destruction if angular rather than horizontal

  • thicker cortical bone
  • presence of plaque
  • occlusal trauma leading to widened pdl

if large: close with BAF, ABs 7 days and nose blowing instructions

fractured tuberosity:
sound of fracture, movement, multiple tooth mobility, visual tear
mgmt: dissect out and close wound, reduce and stabilise with forceps
