Q

What is the issue with having a narrow occlusal table on a posterior bridge?

A

It may help with cleaning but may not help stabilise occlusion

Q

WHat are the diasadvantes of a fixed fixed deisign?

A

Paralleling of teeth can be diffucult
Both preps need to be major retainers
Cementation proem may arise since needs to be cemented on one go
Design not suitable for very tilted teeth

Q

What happens to the surrounding teeth when the lower first molar is lost?

A

Lower second molar tilts mesial rotates and tilt lingual
Over eruption of oppsing tooth
Opening of the contact on upper arch acting as food trap
Increased susceptibility to caries and perio

Q

What effect does losing the lower first molar have on prep?

A

Danger of exposing pulp on mesial of 7 when parallel with premolar
Creation of undercut on lingual or molar and buccal of premolar
No need to reduce the mesial occlusal of 7 since has tilted

Q

What are the stages of full gold crown prep?

A
  1. Occlusal reduction functional 1.5mm, non functional 1.00mm
  2. Bevel: largely functional cusp and smaller non functional
  3. Axial: buccal and Palatal/lingual
  4. Interproximal
  5. Consider retention grove: more for preps with low height
  6. Assess retention: clinical height and parallelism need 3-5 degree taper
  7. Finnish the prep

Q

What are the advantage of using gold for inlay or onlay?

A

High compressive , tensile stengh
Allows thin bevels of metal to be placed over margin
They do not discolour a tooth or tarnish
Wear resistant
Malleable material

16
Q

What are the indications for an inlay/onlay?

A

Good OHI
Regular attendee
Good compliance

Suffedient enamel to bond
Strengthen of tooth following RCT needed

Where the height of the cusp from the pulpal floor is greater than its bucco Palatal dimensions

When the width of the MOD cavity exceeds half the width of the occlusal surface

Maintain or restore vertical dimensions
Horizontal crack in tooth
Lack of dentine under cusp
Heavy occlusion

Heavily discoloured cusp (composte)

17
Q

What taper is needed for a gold onlay?

A

3-5 degrees ideal

18
Q

What are the stages of onlay prep?

A
  1. Prepare MOD
  2. Reduce non functional cusp and reverse bevel
  3. Reduce functional cusp and half enamel prep which is 0.5mm deep to increase support for the cusp
  4. Bevel all margins
  5. Proximal flare
19
Q

What are the options for tooth coloured inlays?

A

Resin bases composition
Ceramics
Zirconia oxide

20
Q

What are the advantages of tooth coloured inlays and onlays?

A 
Aesthetics
More wear resistant that tooth coloured plastic restorations
Strengthen the tooth by 75%
Less susceptible to decay 
Elimate concersn re mercury
21
Q

What are the contra indications for tooth coloured onlays/inlays?

A

Evidence of excessive tooth wear
Bruxism
Insufficient tooth substance for adequate bondig

22
Q

How can composite inlays and onlays be made?

A

Indirect and smi- direct

23
Q

What is the indirect composite onlay inlay techqnie?

A

Two visits needed with temporisation

Completly made outside the mouth

24
Q

What is the semi direct composite onlay inlay techqnie?

A

Performed chair side with intrs and extra oral steps in one visit

25
Q

How can composte resin inlays be classified?

A

Type of composte: microfilmed or hybrid
Method of construction: semi direct or indirect
Method of curing: light cured, light and heat cured, light heat and pressure cured

26
Q

What are the advantages of indirect composites over direct composites?

A 
Polymerisation of fit surface possible 
More effect overall polymerisation
Polymerisation occurs outside mouth
Reduced clinical time shaping the filling 
Better contours and contacts
27
Q

What are the diasadvantes to indirect composites?

A

Wear
Economic
Needs good bond

28
Q

How does the semi direct composte inlay onlay work?

A

Pace composite in cavity and initial cure

Remove the inlays and then place in a heat and light oven for 110 degrees for post curing polymerisation

29
Q

How can ceramic inlays and onlays be classified?

A

Method of processing: firing pressing, casting maching

Method of construction: semi direct or indirect

30
Q

What is the main difference between composite and ceramic inlays onlays ?

A

Ceramics wear oppsing teeth
And they are no reparable

Other than that ceramic generally better than composites

31
Q

What are the features of a composite inlay compared to porcelain inlay?

A

Occlusal key 2mm wide
10-20 degree flare
2mm depth minimum rounded box and deoth OD box more than 1mm
But joint margins

32
Q

What are the features if a porcelain inlay?

A 
Occlusal key 3mm wide 
10-20 degree flare
1.5mm depth
U shaped box 
Box depth 1mm 
Butt joint cabo surface angle
33
Q

What is the aim of temporisation ?

A

Protect the pulp from mechanical thermal and bacterial irrigation
Maintenon of proximal and occlusal contacts
Maintainence of function

34
Q

What should you apply to the fit surface of the composte and ceramic inlays before cementing?

A

Composite: sandblast and then silane

Ceramic: HF acid and then silane

35
Q

What are the advantages of CAD/CAM?

A 
Eliminates traditional impression technique
Incresed profits for dentist
Improves restoration fit
Standardises the construson 
No lab needed
36
Q

How much composite must cover the cusp in an overlays?

A

Min 2mm
