Q

Steps of use for PANAVIA - opaque

A

Etch lingual 30s wash + dry
Re-etch 60s wash + dry
A+B primer for 3-5s for 60s

Q

Conventional bridge design options

A

Fixed fixed
Fixed cantilever
Fixed moveable
Hybrid bridge
Spring cantilever bridge

21
Q

Fixed-fixed conventional adv

A

Can be used for longer span
Max retention + strength
Robust, withstand force

22
Q

Fixed-fixed conventional disadvantages

Q

Advantages of fixed moveable bridge

A

Solution for parallelism/diff path of I

24
Q

Disadvantage of fixed moveable bridge

A

Only used for replacing 1 tooth

Ceromeric - belle glass (porc+comp)

33
Q

Zirconia (LAVA) disadv

A

Decreased aesthetics

34
Q

Lithium Disilicate (EMAX) adv

A

Aesthetics

35
Q

Conventional bridge prep

A

Pick shade

Construct provisional bridge
Take imps + regi

36
Q

Cement for All metal crown

A

Aquacem
Relyx luting cement

37
Q

Cement for MCC

A

Aquacem
Relyx luting cement

38
Q

Cement for RRB

A

Panavia 21 (anaerobic dual cure resin with 10MDP)

39
Q

Cement for all ceramic

A

NEXUS (dual cure resin)

40
Q

Why do we avoid distal pontics?

A

Occlusal forces on pontic will produce leverage forces on abutment, causing it to tilt
