Crown And Bridge Flashcards
What are the advantages of a 3/4?
More conservative than full gold crown or PFM
Assess the accuracy of marginal fit easily
Allows pulp testing from buccal cusp
Allows natural Appearnce of tooth to she
When is a 3/4 gold crown indicated?
On a tooth where the lingual cusp has been lost and would compromised the remaining core if thr buccal cusp has to be prepared for a PFM
What are the disadvantages of 3/4?
Sides of crown can splay if heavy loads applied and stengh thing features not incorporated
Greater marginal area can lead to Increaed microleakage
What are the uses of 3/4 gold crown?
Heavily restored tooth with intact buccal cusp
Conventional bridge retainer
Tooth wear
Part of treatment plan for denture
What assessment would you do on the tooth before placing 3/4?
PROVE
How can the resistance and retention form of the 3/4 crown be improved?
Incorporate slots and grooves
What is the disadvantage of the slots and grooves?
Increase the complexity of cavity since must all be parallel
What is the stage of 3/4 gold crown prep?
- Occlusal reduction and Bevel
- Axial reduction
- Proximal surface groove and slot
- Occlusal grove
5 finish
How do you do the occlusal reduction 3/4?
Functional cusp: 1.5mm
Non : 1mm
What is the purpose of the reverse bevel 3/4?
Aka Functional cusp bevel
Brings cusp back in line, offers resistance to oblique forces
Which two bevels are placed on the 3/4 crown?
Functional and no function
What type of finish is at the gingival margin of a 3/4?
Chamfer
How much is the axial reduction ?
0.7-1.0mm
What taper should the 3/4 hVe?
3-4 degrees
Where do you place the slot on the 3/4 prep?
In the filling
Where do you place the groove in the 3/4 ?
Not commonly
Placed in teeth that are heavily restored and subjected to tooth wear and placed into natures tooth
What does the occlusal grove help with in 3/4?
Resistance and strengthened the casting to cannot splay
Aids retention and resist crown dislodgement
Should be placed as far buccal as possible in Area of fissure
When would you do the contemporary design for 3/4?
When cementing with super bond and panavia bit need to sand blast or oxidised fit surface of gold
What does super bond have?
4 META
What are the indication for veneers?
Alter the shaoe and size of tooth Close diastema Align mal aligned teeth Mask areas of Hypoplasia and hypo calcification Mask dis coloured teeth
What are the advantages of veneer over crown?
Less destruction
No LA
Easier to record impressions
No need to provisional restoration
What are the disadvantages if a veneer over a crown!
More challenging to place a veneer on only one tooth and get good shade match
Try in is difficult
Luting is multistage and takes time to finish well
Poor prep can lead to porcelain fracture
