CHPT 30 and 32 Flashcards
veneers
are thin layers of tooth -colored material that cover much of the facial surface.
tooth colored cast restorations
made either of porcelain or composite resin
three quarter crown
normally is prepared so that the mesial distal and lingual surfaces are reduced but the facial surface is left intact
the fixed prostheses stage
usually begins 6 months after surgery.
role of laboratory technician
The dental laboratory technician and the dentist work closely together to give the patient quality restorations.
prostheses
when finished ,the protheses are cemented permanantly in the patients mouth
post-retained cores
the posts are made of materials such as titanium, titanium alloy, gold-plated metal, and stainless steel.
pontic
a bridge may replace one more adjacent teeth in the same arch. the missing tooth is replaced this
onlays
are like inlays except they include the cusp ridges of the tooth
maryland bridge
OR resin retained fixed bridge, is used to replace one tooth. abutment teeth have very little tooth structure removed during preparation.The bridge consist of a pontic with exstintions(retainers) varing in shapes. The extensions are designed to attach to the abutment teeth, on or toward the lingual surface.
machanical retraction
the cotton cord is left in place for 10 to 15 minutes.
low- speed handpeace
burs discs and stones
inlays
cover the area between the cuspsin the middle of the tooth and the proximal surfaces that are involved inlays are MO,MO,DO, oe O
high-speed handpeice
with a selection of diamond, discs, and burs
fixed prosthese maintenance
maitainance of the fixed prosthes should become part of the patient’s daily regimen. brushing and flossing are continued.
cementation of porcelain -fused - to metal crown
the occlusion margins and contacts are evaluated and adjustments are mad, if necessary. if the porcelain is adjusted, it is sent back to the laboratory to be refinished.
cementation appointment
acid etchant is used to clean and decontaminate the inside surface of the veneer.
CAD/CAM restorative systems
there are no unpleasant impressions, no needfor tempararies, and less reduction of healthy tooth structure.
bridges
the bridge is divided into units, and each unit of a bridge represents a tooth
