4. Restorative Dentistry II Flashcards
What are the indications for composite restorations
- Class I caries
- Small Class II caries
- Anterior decay (strip crown)
Is GI a good restorative material in the posterior primary teeth
yes
What are the contraindications of composite
Large decay
- Class II decay (extends beyond the line angles)
- Any pulp exposure in the posterior
Must be able to isolate
Multisurface decay
->2+ surfaces
High Risk Patient
- Any posterior tooth that needs restoring in the OR gets a SSC
- Young patient with lots of decay
The ideal class II size for a composite restoration is when the decay extends where
touching the DEJ or just into dentin (once you see clinically it is too large for composite
Do we do slot preps on primary teeth
no- should extend a dovetail on the occlusal (primary teeth are too short)
After a Class II restoration what should you do to prevent future decay of the tooth
Seal the remoaining pits and fissures
What are the two types of matrix bands you can use to restore a class II resin
- Performed/sized
- T band
What are the metals that make up a SSC ranged in order from greatest to least % composition
- Iron (65-73%)
- Chromium (17-20%)
- Nickel (8-13%)
- Manganese, silicone, carbon (<2%)
- *No Hg
What does the crown flex over that gives it its retention
cervical buldge
(T/F) SSC can be used on permanent teeth
t
what are the three types of SSCs
- Pre-contoured
- Pre-trimmed
- Esthetic
Describe pre-contoured SSCs
- Festooned and contoured
- Usually don’t require trimming
Describe pre-trimmed SSCs
- straight non-contoured sides
- Trimmed to follow the gingival crest
- Need to cut and crimp
Describe esthetic SSCs
- Expensive
- Loose ability to cut/crimp
Indications for SSC
- Large caries
- Multisurface decay
- After pulp tx
- Cervical decay
- Developmental defects (hypoplasia, amelogenesis imperfecta, dentinogenesis imperfecta)
- High risk Patient
