Q

Why need correct thickness for retainer?

A

Rigidity - prevent flexion = peeling effect = debond

18
Q

Ideal bonding area?

A

Maximise enamel bonding

Occluso-gingival and circumferential around tooth

19
Q

Issue w/ increasing bonding area of framework?

A

Aesthetic and perio implication

Maximise SA w/o encroach gingival tissue and aestehtic zone

20
Q

Two approachs to tooth prep and extension frameowrk?

A
  1. Full palatal coverage w/ no prep

2. Reduced palatal coverage w/ tooth prep

21
Q

Why provide occlusal coverage on posterior teeth?

A

Resist displacement
Increase rigidity
Greater SA bonding

22
Q

What is the connector?

A

Junction between pontic and retainer

23
Q

Why need sufficient thickness of connector?

A

Prevent flexion = peeling = debond

24
Q

Is height of connector important?

A

Yes needs to be at least 50% height of pontic

25
Q

Why are grooves used in adhesive bridge prep?

A

Resistance lateral displacement

Increased retention

26
Q

What want grooves on tooth to be?

A

Parallel - increase resistance and retention

27
Q

Why are occlusal seat rests used?

A

Allow transmission of occlusal force along long axis of tooth

28
Q

What is joining the occlusal rests called?

A

Occlusal bar

29
Q

Advantage of preparing an occlusal bar?

A

Improve rigidity of retainer

30
Q

What cements can be used for adhesive bridges?

A

Self cure composite lute
Anaerobic adhesive lutes
4-meta ahdesive lutes

31
Q

Example of self-cure compoiste lute?

A

Calibra

32
Q

What need with self-cure composite lute?

A

Non-adhesive
Needs used in combination w/ bonding system
Require etched metal substrate

33
Q

Example of anaerobic adhesive lute?

A

Panavia

34
Q

What need to use with Panavia?

A

Oxygaurd - ensure bonding takes place anaerobically

35
Q

When a 4-meta adhesive lutes used?

A

Want speicifc bonding to metal and ceramic retainers

36
Q

What materials are used for retainer?

A

Nickle chromium
Gold alloy
Ceramics

37
Q

How choose abutment tooth?

A

Tooth position - angulation agreeable POI?
Crown shape - increased SA
Restorative status
Endodontic status

38
Q

What teeth provide poor abutment teeth?

A

Maxillary lateral incisor - small w/ little SA to bond + small roots
Tilted teeth
RF teeth

39
Q

Estimated survival of RBB?

A

87.7% at 5 years

40
Q

Reason for failure RBB?

A

Debonding
Caries under retainer
Aesthetic failure

41
Q

What should not do when designing bridge?

A

Use of double abutment - not required and difficult to clean

42
Q

When could fixed-fixed adhesive bridge be used?

A

Mandibular incsiors

43
Q

Design consideration of adhesive bridge?

A
Retainer thickness
Bonding area
Wrap-around
Occlusal extension 
Connector design 
Length of span
