Q

Advantages of gypsum

A

0Dimensionally accurate

  • Low cost
  • Easy to use
  • Compatible with all impression materials ** Big advantage**
  • Quick setting time
  • **Capable of reproducing a 20 um wide line as prescribed by the ADA specification No. 19 for elastomeric impression materials

17
Q

Advantages of resin rock are (compared to gypsum)

A
  • Better abrasion resistance (due to reinforcement from resin)
  • Less expansion (has resin which shrinks)
  • Excellent surface details
  • Stronger than gypsum –> resists fracture
18
Q

Disadvantages of resin rock

A
  • Technique sensitive
  • Time consuming, long setting time
  • Incompatible with some impression materials
  • Polymerization shrinkage
19
Q

What impression materials are not compatible with resin rock

A

polysulfide and hydrocolloid

20
Q

Describe the process of making and electroplated die

A
  • Impression placed in electroplating bath

- Later pure silver or copper is deposited on impression and supported with type IV stone/resin

21
Q

Advantages of electroplated dies are

A

-Excellent abrasion resistance

22
Q

Disadvantages of electroplated dies are

A
  • Technique sensitive
  • Time consuming
  • Expensive
  • Impression material incompatibility (Polyether, PVS= hard to plate)
23
Q

Why should the master cast of the pindex only be 10 mm thick

A
  • Avoid mounting issues

- Makes cuts easier

24
Q

What are the critical features of adequate dies

A
  • Accurately reproduce the teeth/preps
  • Finish lines are accessible and clearly marked
  • Seat completely in master cast base
  • Are stable. No rocking, rotation/wobbling
  • Independently removable
  • Acces to end of pin
25
Q

What must be returned to the lab if you are requesting a remake and why

A
  • Old restoration
  • Working casts
  • Quality control from case of remake
  • *Prevent repetition of mistakes
26
Q

What are the minimum enclosures when submitting a case to the lab

A
  • Working cast (pindex)
  • Solid pour cast (must be full arch esp if it is zirconia
  • Impression
  • May also need bite reg. and mounted Dx casts
27
Q

What does the lab need if you are submitting work for a survey crown for a partial

A
  • RPD Design
  • Tripoded survey cast
  • Intraoral preps must be done before survey crown
28
Q

What are the different MCC margin designs

A
  • Metal margin
  • Metal ceramic margin
  • Ceramic margin
29
Q

Different names for…

  • Metal margin
  • Metal ceramic margin
  • Ceramic margin
A
  • Metal margin –> metal collar
  • Metal ceramic margin –> Metal Ceramic margin –> disappearing metal margin
  • Ceramic margin –> porcelain margin
30
Q

Which MCC margin design is the least and most esthetic

A
Least= metal collar (or metal margin) 
Most= ceramic/porcelain margin
31
Q

What is the most and least conservative MCC margin

A
most= metal margin (metal collar)
Least= ceramic margin
32
Q

What burs are used for the following margins

  • Metal margin
  • Metal ceramic margin
  • Ceramic margin
A
  • Metal margin = chamfer
  • Metal ceramic margin= Deep chamfer or slanted shoulder
  • Ceramic margin = radial (or modified) shoulder
33
Q

When are you likely to perscribe a metal occlusal on an MCC

A
  • Limited restorative space

- Opposing metal restoration (if porcelain is highly polished it should be ok)
