Q

What are the disadvantages if a veneer over a crown!

A

More challenging to place a veneer on only one tooth and get good shade match
Try in is difficult

Q

How much should you reduce the labial surface by on a veneer?

A

0.5mm

23
Q

What is the purpose of labial reduction on a veneer?

A

To avoid over contoured prep

24
Q

How many planes should you prepare the labial surface for a veneer in?

A

3
Gingival plane
Mid labial plane
Incisal plane

25
Q

A

Subginginval
Equigingival
Supra

26
Q

Where should the proximal margins be placed for a veneer?

Just Labial to contact point but can consider extending round the contact when veneer is used to close a diastema

27
Q

When would you bring the promxila preparation of a veneer interpromximal?

A

When recession present

Closing a diastema

28
Q

What are the options for the incisal edge of a veneer?

A

Over lapped
Overlap
But joint

29
Q

What are the advantages of restoring an edentulous ridge?

A
Appearnce
Occlusal stability
Masticatory effeciency
Speech
Psychological
30
Q

What are the disadvantages of restoring an edentulous ridge?

A
Damage to toot and pulp
Risk of Sedondary caries
Failures
Cost 
Periodontal effect
31
Q

What general factors about the patent do you need to consider before placing a bridge?

A

Attitude:
Age: young teeth have large pulps
Confidence: some patient lack confidence with dentre
Occupation: contact sport players do not give bridge, public speakers and singers give bridge and wind instruments too
Medical: epilipetics: consider fixed
appearance: high lip line, loss of tooth and bone an denture maybe better
OH: perio must be stabilised, bridge maybe better for perio
Disturbuton of missing teeth: multiple missing teeth consider denture
Occlusion: diffucult for denture in class 2/1

32
Q

What local factors do you need to consider before placing a bridge?

A

Adjacent teeth: sound or heavily restored, vital, tilted or rotated, bone support and perio
Oppsing dentitions: presence of over eruption,mapping of tooth wear, occlusal stops and crowding
Edentate ridge: degrees of resorption, condition of ridge, correct space for lost teeth

33
Q

What do you need for treatment planning?

A
History
Mounted study models
Periaplcals
Bite wings
Pocket depth
Vitality
Crown and root ratio
34
Q

What are the options for provisional restorations?

A

Lab made

Chair side

35
Q

How are the chair side provisional restorations made?

A

Using higher acrylic (trim)

Mould of mouth or from study models and then make vacum formed PVC stent

36
Q

What are the three requirements for provisional restorations?

A

BAM
Biological
Aesthetic
Mechanical

37
Q

What should you use to cement the provisional?

A

ZnO eugenol

38
Q

What can you consider getting made before the final bridge?

A

Metal try in

Can try this and assess

  • seating
  • margin quality
  • occlusal stop
  • interference in occlusion
39
Q

What are the clinical problems if the bridge fails to seat?

A

Preparation errors: undercuts on teeth or not paralle
Impression error: incorrect tray
Temp errors: allowed over eruption, some Luting cement stillln prep

40
Q

What are the lab errors related to filling to seat?

A

Cast and die: porous or damage
Wax pattern : distorted, no separator, no reservoir
Investment: needs to compensate for setting expansion, hygroscopic expansion and thermal expansion
Casting: insufficient temp of investment and porosity of sprue, alloy too high temp

Finishing and polishing: trim margins, distorted since thing nodules on fit surface

41
Q

What can cause a rough fit surface of a lab made commonest?

A

Breakdown of investment or weak

Cracking of investment

42
Q

What do you do if bridge fails to seat?

A

Check fit surface for imperfections

Check contacts for over contoured
Section metal frames work through Pontic
Re unite with duraly and recheck in mouth

43
Q

What can you consider doing once you happy with with final bridge and before cementation?

A

Can consider temp cementing it using ZOE with 50% modifier paste

This enables minor tooth movements
Patient can inspect the crown
Adjust any occlusal interferences

44
Q

Why are bridges sometimes difficult to seat?

A

Hinge hydrostatic pressure due to large surface area and paralle

45
Q

What should you check on the bridge?

A

Margins
Occlusion
Gingival health
Mechanical integrity

46
Q

How many bridges failed after 15 years?

A

33%

47
Q

How many bridges failed after 10 years?

A

<5% abutment extracted

48
Q

Wheh should a provisional bridge be made?

A

Before the impression of the bridge prep to enable checking that you have reduced the teeth enough

49
Q

Why may provisional bridges be placed long term?

A

Ppfollwing pre prosthetic surgery

Assess healing of endo or perio

50
Q

What are the biological requirements of a provisional restorations?

A

Biocompatible
Non exothermic
Stabilise tooth position eg prevention of over eruption or tilting

51
Q

What are the mechanical requirement of a provisional restoration?

A

Attain rubbery stage quick
Rapid hardening
Suffering strength to resist wear and fracture
Strong in thin sections

52
Q

What are the aesthetic requirements of a provisional restoration?

A

Tooth coured
Range of shades
Surface texture and staining possible.

53
Q

What are the resins available for provisional restorations?

A

Acrylic: powder and liquid. Powder PMMA beads + peri oxide. Liquid is MM monomer +activator

Higher meathcrykate trim: powder and liqueurs. Powder: PMM beads + peri oxide, liquid: isobutylmethacrylate + activator

Epimine eg Scutan: paste and liquid p. Paste: imine pre polymer + poly amide filler and liquid : soul phonic acid ester

Composte eg protemp: 2 pastes methacrylic acid ester + filler

54
Q

How does the lab made the provisional restoration ?

A

Minimal deoth th prep and the heat cured acrylic resin by lost wax technique an then relines at chair side using trim

Ad: custom shape of retainer and Pontic, good strength, can be used for long term

Dis: cost and must be made in advance if tooth prep

55
Q

How can you make provisional restorations chair side?

A

Using Higher acrylic and take a mould from the mouth using ROD of waxed study model then fill PVC stent with matersl

Ad: cheaper, made on same day as abutment prep, strong enough to last until final bridge,clinician can check if sufficiently reduces the prep
Dis: limited customising of Pontic and retainer
