Cementation Flashcards
Steps in Delivery process
Remove the temporary
FIRST – If you did a lot of adjusting to the temporary
at the previous appointment, causing it to be more
than slightly different than the previous matrix, a
new
matrix of the temp can and should be made of the
temporary, to save you time in case you need to
remake the temp due to breakage in the process of
removing it.
Steps in Delivery process
Remove the Temporary
-Using Curved Hemostat, gently rock the
temporary back and forth to break the
cement seal.
-Care should be taken to grasp the temporary in
a manner in which the temporary is not likely
to break.
-Clean out the inside of the temporary, disinfect
it, and set it aside.
-ALWAYS make sure you have either the
temporary matrix or take a new one.
-If the temp does not come off, you may need to
gently section off the temp in order to
remove it
Remove the Temporary
Special care should be taken when
removing a
temporary on teeth with an RCT, or Post, or
Build Up.
IF the temporary does not come off easily, or
you are concerned at all about the
materials and their stability under the temp,
SECTION off the temp.
Use a very thin diamond to section Mesial-Distal
and Buccal-Lingual and then gently
remove the sections by applied lateral
force in between the criss-crossed lines you
just made.
Remove the Temporary
Once the temporary is removed:

-Clean off any excess cement chunks
-Clean the tooth preparations with
pumice slurry.
Evaluate the framework/final prosthesis
Any needs for remake or alteration
Make any adjustments prior to patient appointment
Check the prosthesis for:
-Proximal Contacts
-Internal Surface
-Marginal Adaptation
-Inter-Abutment Stability
-Occlusal Contacts
-Occlusal Anatomy and Finish
-Axial Contours
-Overall design

Steps in Delivery Process –
Prior to patient appointment
With a Metal Ceramic framework, or a Zirconia based
framework, often, trying in the framework is necessary to
ensure the
fit prior to porcelain veneering.
Framework is tried in to check:
(5)
-Proximal contacts
-Internal fit
-Marginal integrity
-Stability (any distortion?)
-Occlusion
At this appointment, — is also confirmed.

Once Ceramic is veneered, at try in check:
(3)
-Same checklist as above
-Any adjustments needed like occlusion or contacts
-Patient approval and acceptance and consent for
cementation
Does the framework wobble or rock on the preparations?
(3)
-Check the Proximal contacts
-Evaluate visually and with floss or shimstock
-Mark areas and adjust as needed if contact is
inhibiting full seat.
Check internal surface
(3)
-Use “Fit Checker” or similar to check internal
surface.
-Adjust any ”positive” areas
-Only minor adjustments should be made in the
internal surface.
Check the margin adaptation of the framework
(2)
-A “positive” defect means there is too much
framework material, and this can be polished
away with a stone or rubber wheel to see if this
allows the rock to disappear
-A “negative” defect means you have an open
margin and a new impression will need to be
taken.
Try in the framework
-Does the framework rock still?
-If the Contacts are appropriate
-If the Internal surface is not hindering seat
-Then the — may be distorted.
Framework
Then the Framework may be distorted.
(4)
-Section the framework through a connector
-Evaluate each retainer separately
-If individually, each retainer fits, move forward with
solder technique
-If individually, either retainer still wobbles or rocks,
take a new impression
Framework is sectioned
Cut should be:
(3)
-At least 0.2mm wide
-Flat
-Have parallel sides
Making sure individual retainers are
solidly
placed and stationary, make Duralay
relation.
Once Duralay has set, evaluate
framework to make sure
rocking or
wobble has been removed.
Make a plaster “pick up” index after
Duralay is set to
stabilize the
framework as you send it to the lab.
Once framework returns from soldering at the
laboratory:
Evaluate all aspects of the framework again
(5)
-Proximal contacts
-Internal fit
-Marginal integrity
-Stability (any distortion?)
-Occlusion
-Occlusion
(2)
-Is occlusion in the mouth the same as on the
casts?
If not, take a bite registration with and remount the
casts.
Take a Pre-Veneering Radiograph to confirm —

veneering.

Steps in Delivery Process – Lab Script
Phase 1
-”Please pour impression; pin and section cast; articulate master
cast with enclosed opposing using interocclusal record. Return for die
trimming and evaluation of articulation.
Phase 2
-”Please fabricate metal-ceramic framework using noble alloy as
follows:
-#3 full cast retainer
-#4 Modified Ridge Lap pontic
-Porcelain finish line half way down lingual incline of
lingual cusp
-#5 Facial porcelain shoulder margin
-mesial and occlusal contacts in porcelain
-porcelain-metal finish line half way down lingual surface
extending proximally to support porcelain
Occlusion:
Occlusion:
establish centric contacts in MIP; no lateral or
protrusive excursive movements
Return in one piece for framework try-in
Phase 3
-Please add porcelain to complete FPD
according to above specifications
Steps in Delivery Process – Final product
Framework returns with porcelain veneering for final
seating.
Remove the temp, clean and prepare teeth for
seating by making sure
all temporary cement is
removed and tooth has been pumiced.
Try in framework and follow previously stated
guidelines to check for marginal adaptation, pontic
adequacy, and any rock or wobble.

Margins
If needed, using a — (seen in
photos to the right) can help you determine if any
part of the prep or intaglio surface needs to be
adjusted to enable full seating of bridge.
