7. Partial coverage restorations Flashcards
What is the purpose of a partial coverage restoration?
Used to reinforce remaining dental structure
What is considered a minimally invasive restoration?
Partial coverage restoration
What is an inlay?
without cusp covering
What is an onlay?
covering at least one cusp
What is an overlay?
Covers all cusps
What is the limitation of conventional partial coverage direct restorations?
Polymerization contraction
What are the consequences of light curing shrinkage or partial coverage direct restorations?
- gaps
- secondary decay
- crack propagation
- cusp fracture
- postop sensitivity
What are the factors influencing polymerization shrinkage? (4)
- cavity size
- cavity shape
- adhesive technique
- material application
What are the two phenomenas observed with light curing?
- light curing
- dark reaction
What is the light curing phenomenon ?
50% of polymerization when applying a light
What is the dark reaction phenomenon ?
10min-48 hours after light curing the material polymerizes to 100%
When is the ideal time to wait before polishing surfaces? (2)
- ideal: 48 hours
- wait 10 mins so polymerization reaches 75%
What should the distance between light and composite be?
1-2mm
What is the thickness reached by the light?
2mm
What is the emission spectrum of halogen? (2)
350-500nm
covers and cures 3 catalysers
What is the emission spectrum of plasma? (2)
460-480nm
only actives camphorquinone
What light curing unit is no longer used?
laser
What is the emission spectrum of LED 2nd generation?
430-490nm
only activates camphorquinone
What is the emission spectrum of LED 3rd generation?
- works with all different activators
- covers the whole spectrum
Emission spectrum of LED 3rd generation bluephase G2?
430-490nm
Emission spectrum of LED 3rd generation bluephase 2OI
430-490nm
Emission spectrum of LED 3rd generation valo cordless
395-480nm
What are the different types of partial coverage restorations?
Inlays
Onlays
Endocrown
What are the different types of onlays? (4)
- onlay
- overlay
- veneer onlay
- veneer overlay
Inlay vs direct composite filling?
inlay prep can be more aggressive
In lay controvery?
in class II MO/OD
What material can you use for inlays? (3)
- porcelain
- resins
- hybrid materials
When is an onlay indicated?
Big restoration with remaining axial surfaces
What material can be used for onlays? (3)
- Porcelains
- Resins
- Hybrid materials
What is a veneer onlay/overlay?
Same as a normal onlay/overlay but also covering the buccal surface
When do you use a veneer onlay/overlay?
For high aesthetic needs
What is an endocrown? (3)
- Full coverage cusp
- no post or pin
- for endo teeth
An endocrown uses the pulp chamber for… (2)
- more adhesive surface
- more macro-retention
