ACC prep Flashcards
why use a working die
for making the crowns in the lab
trays that are premade and bought
Stock trays
why make a custom tray
made in the lab
what is an all ceramic crown
a ceramic fixed dental prosthesis that restores a clinical crown without a supporting metal framework
advantage of an ACC
Excellent translucency (like tooth)
best color stability
Biocompatible
Silica based all ceramic can be bonded to tooth
disadvantges of ACC
Brittle
Proximal and lingual reduction greater
margin adaptation
crical cavosurface angle
not or FDP abutment( certain can be used anterior
Opposing tooth wear (not as much of a problem as feldspathic MCCs)
Indications of an ACC
high esthetic need
Conservation restoration would be inadequate
sufficient tooth to support restoration
Favorable occlusal load
Contraindications of an ACC
reduced esthetic demand
More conservative restoration can be used
Unable to provide adequate support or even a circumferential should width of 1mm
cast and post core
unfavorable occlusal load
parafunctional activity
what ceramic is often used in the posterior
Zirconia
why is silica a good choice for an ACC
can be bound
benifits of high strength ceramics
less prep needed to be done
less into dentin
less root canals and other problems
what dictates the amount of reduction for a tooth prep
the restorative materials
restoration design
how is multplanar reduction done
1st plane is parallel to long axis
2nd plane is the facial second plane and the lingual concavity
what does the margin location depend on
remaining tooth structure
free gingival margin
smile line etc
how should the cavosurface be for an ACC prep
90 degrees with no unsupported enamel cuz ceramics are brittle
