3. Finish Line Flashcards
Where is the supra-gingival margin located?
0.5-1mm from surrounding gingiva
How are the esthetics of supra gingival?
Poor
When is a supra-gingival finish line indicated? (2)
- NO ESTHETIC IS COMPROMISED
- ENOUGH HEIGHT OF THE ABUTMENT TOOTH TO HAVE ADEQUATE RETENTION
Which finish line is the most hygenic?
Supragingival
Where is the yuxtagingival margin?
At the level of the gingiva to 0.5mm-1mm under the gingival margin
Main advantage of subgingival finish line?
- Ethetics
Main disadvantage of subgingival finish line?
High risk of biological width invasion
What does increasing the occluso-cervical dimension do for the sibgingival finish line?
Increased retention and resistance
Indications of the subgingival margin? (6)
- Aesthetic (bucally)
- Short clinical tooth (to increase the height and gain retention)
- Subgingival caries.
- Subgingival composites (the FL should always be over healthy structure)
- Subgingival fractures of the tooth.
- Caries propension over the roots.
Contraindications of subgingival margin? (3)
- Scaling and root planning
- Periodontal surgery
- Gingival recession and high clinical crown
How long after scaling and root planning can you prepare a subgingival finish line?
2-3 months
How long after periodontal surgery can you prepare a subgingival finish line?
5-6 months
Define marginal integrity
Configuration of the preparation finish line dictates the shape and bulk of
restorative material in the margin of the restoration
How many microns is a high accuracy marginal integrity?
20-40 microns
How many microns is the maximum clinically acceptable marginal integrity?
100 microns
How do you check the marginal integrity? (2)
Explorer and x-rays
What occupies the marginal integrity?
Cement
What occurs if there is an undercontoured horizontal marginal fit?
Higher risk of caries
What occurs if there is an normocontoured horizontal marginal fit?
Adequate emergence profile
What occurs if there is an overcontoured horizontal marginal fit?
higher tendency for gingival retraction and periodontal issues
The FL must have the correct shape and size so the restoration CAN fulfil
the following requirements: (4)
- marginal integrity.
- structural strength.
- localisation.
- adequate emergency profile
What burs are more commonly used for the finish line? (4)
- 856-016
- 856-012
- 847-016
- 847-016KR
What is the shape of the 856 bur?
Round end tapered diamond
What is the shape of the 847 bur?
Flat end tapered diamond
What are the dimensions of the 856-016 bur?
Base 1.6mm
Tip 1mm
What are the dimensions of the 856-012 bur?
Base 1.2mm
Tip 0.8mm
What bur do you use for chamfer in veneers?
856-012
What are the dimensions of the 847-016 bur?
Base: 1.6mm
Tip: 1.1mm
Whats the difference between the 847-016 bur and the 847-016KR
The 847-016KR has a more rounded angle
What is the 837-012 bur used for?
Occlusal and incisal reduction
What shape is the 858 bur?
Needle shape
What is the 858 bur used for?
Proximal reduction to break contact point
