7. ACC II Flashcards
Indications for cubic zirconia
- Anterior and PM crowns
- Anterior and PM bridges with one pontic
Minimal thickness for cubic zirconia
1.2 mm
Differences between regular zirconia and more translucent zirconia
More translucent zirconia
- Requires more reduction
- Gentler handling during chairside adjustments (esp posterior restorations)
- Use with caution in molar region
Esthetics for translucent zirconia (are/aren’t) consistent
aren’t- longevity of the stain??
Describe inlays and onlays
Inlay
-Intracoronal restpration made outside the tooth
Onlay
-Restoration with one or more cusps and adjoining occlusal surfaces or the entire occlusal surface and is retained with mechanical or adhesive means
Indications for inlays/onlays
- High esthetic demand
- Good OH and low caries rate
- Durable alternative to posterior resin and amalgam restorations
- Esthetic alternative to gold inlays and onlays
- When optimal contours can’t be achieved with direct restorations
Advantages of inlays/onlays
- More wear resistant (direct rest.)
- Conservative prep (FCC)
- Less marginal leakage (resin)
- Enhanced contours (resin)
Why might inlays/onlays have less polymerization shrinkage compared to resin
Leakage is related to polymerization shrinkage and high CTE
-Thin layer of resin is used to lute inlay/onlay –> less shrinkage
Rank the following in order of most to least tooth reduction (with thier percentages)
- Onlay
- MO inlay
- ACC
- MOD Inlay
- PFM crown
PFM (76%)>ACC(72%)>Onlay(39%)>MOD inlay(27%)>MO inlay(20%)
Contraindications for inlays and onlays
- Patients with high caries risk
- Patients with parafunctional habits
Onlay retention comes from
Bonding rement cement/adhesion
T/F E.max and Empress are indicated in bruxers
f- Zr is
Can you use Zr for inlay/onlay? Why/ why not
No because the bond is not as durable with resin cement because Zr has no glass phase
Disadvantages of inlays/onlays
- Accurate occlusion can be hard
- Areas of occlusal adjustment need careful finishing and polishing (time consuming- rough porcelain is abrasive against the opposing arch
- Wear of composite resin luting agent –> marginal gaps
- Finishing of margins can be hard in interproximal regions due to access –> perio disease
Occlusal adjustments for inlays and onlays are made (before/after) cementation
after
Marginal gaps
100 nm
What determines the general outline of the prep for an inlay/onlay
caries
Interproximal margin of inlay/onlay is done with what bur
shoulder
Min. dimension for occlusal reduction for onlay prep should be
1.5 mm
Min dimension for the width of the gingival floor for onlay and inlay
1-1.5 mm
Min width of inlay isthmus prep
1 mm
Min isthmus depth for inlay
1 mm
Onlay prep with axial reduction is commonly done for what reason
overcome poor blending of restoration to facial surface
Ideal prep for onlay is _ occlusal reduction with the cavosurface margin between what thirds of the tooth
1.5-2mm…. incisal and middle thirds
Margins should be _degrees at the butt joint of an inlay and why
90… bevels are contraindicated
Margins for pnlay are done with what bur and why
deep chamfer because you want a obtuse angle (>90 degrees at the but joint) to remove unsupported enamel prisms
Before prepping the tooth for inlay/onlay what should you do and why
-Mark the occlusal contacts with articulating paper
Done to ensure no margins are on occlusal contacts and help restore normal occlusion
