Q

Why is a resin-bonded FPD useful in younger patients whos immature teeth with large pulps?

A

It requires shallow prep only into enamel decreasing pulp exposure risk

Q

When could a crown to root ratio of less than 1:1 be acceptable for an FPD abutment tooth?

A

If abutment opposes another FPD because occlusal load will be less

Q

What is the preferable root configuration for an abutment tooth: broader labiolingually than mesiodistally, or roots that are round in cross section?

A
  1. Roots broader labiolingually than MD
  2. Conicals useful in short span FPD
  3. Wider spaced roots in posterior more favorable
  4. If conical root has bends it is more favorable than straight tapered root

16
Q

What can be used to reinforce a long span or an unfavorable crown to root ratio on an abutment tooth?

A

Secondary abutment = double abutments

17
Q

Which teeth are more retentive: tall or short teeth?

A

Tall, e.g. PM > M (whatever that means)

18
Q

What is a common problem when replacing all four maxillary incisors?

A

Pontics lie outside interabutment axis line and create torque on abutments

19
Q

How far must secondary retention be on an anterior FPD to counteract the tourquing?

A

Secondary abutments must be the same distance posterior of the abutment axis line as the pontics are anterior of the interabutment axis line

20
Q

When would a pier abutment occur?

A

Edentulous space occurring on both sides of a tooth

21
Q

What is a means to get around from a pier abutment acting as a fulcrum for movement of a nFPD?

A

Use a nonrigid connector for the pontic to retainer, usually placed on the middle abutment. Book example is a T-link

22
Q

What is the term for a FPD with an abutment or abutments at one end only. They should usually only replace one tooth and have 2 abutment teeth.

A

Cantilever FPD

23
Q

What is the treatment of choice when an abutment molar is tilted?

A

Orthodontic uprighting

24
Q

What are 4 things that can be done if an abutment molar is tilted and cannot be uprighted via ortho?

A
  1. Recontour M surface of 3rd molar to allow path of insertion onto the 2nd molar abutment
  2. Proximal 1⁄2 crown on distal(tilted) abutment
  3. Telescoping crown on distal(tilted) abutment
  4. Nonrigid connector on mesial abutment tooth (premolar)
25
Q

What is the maximum number of posterior teeth that can be safely replaced with an FPD?

A

3

26
Q

What are the 3 Purposes of Prosthodontic treatment?

A
  1. Eliminate pain
  2. Stop progression of disease(perio and caries)
  3. Restore function and quality of life
27
Q

What is the primary cause of FPD failure?

A

Caries

28
Q

What are the components of diagnostic data collection?

A
  1. Pt interview/history

2. Clinical exam to include TMJ/occlusion X-rays, Diagnostic Casts

29
Q

What are 6 health findings that can affect dental treatment?

A
  1. Allergies
  2. Cardiac problems, e.g. HTN (Epi concern)
  3. Prosthetic heart valves (premed concern) 4. Epilepsy (length of appt consideration)
  4. Diabetes (possible periodontal disease susceptible)
  5. Xerostomia (increased caries risk)
30
Q

What are the 6 components of an intraoral exam?

A
  1. Oral hygiene
  2. Periodontal health
  3. Edentulous ridge/abutment teeth health
  4. Existing caries, decalcifications
  5. Previous restoration and Pros health
  6. Occlusion
31
Q

What do acceptable full mouth radiographs indicate for treatment planning?

A
  1. Interproximal caries
  2. PA lesions
  3. Previous Endo
  4. Alveolar bone levels
  5. C:R ratio
  6. Root Morphology
  7. PDL width
  8. Correlate clinical findings
32
Q

What are 2 types of retainers for FPD?

A
  1. Resin Bonded (good health, young pt)

2. Metal Ceramic (crowns)

33
Q

What are some important criteria to consider when evaluating an abutment?

A
  1. C:R (2:3 optimal, 1:1 minimum)
  2. Root configuration (want it wide)
  3. PDL sound
  4. Ante’s Law: root surface area of abutment teeth > length of abutments
