Crown And Bridge Anterior Teeth Flashcards
What is a provisional crown?
Made to last for a longer period eg whilst periodontal treatment carried out
What is a temp crown?
Made to only last a short time
What are the biological requiements for temp crown?
BAM
Biological: protect prepared dentine, prevent gingival overgrowth, prevent over eruption and tilting of adjacent teeth
Aesthetics: good surface topography and shade
Mechanical: strong enough to withstand forces of occlusion and mastication
How can temp crowns be made?
Chair side or preformed crown
Preformed: polycarbonate for canine, incisor and premolar
Aluminium for molar teeth: aluplast
Tin alloy : ion
What are the advantages of tooth coloured crowns?
Aesthetics
What are the all tooth coloured crowns?
All porcelain
Lab constructed composite
Resin/detine bonded
What are the non all tooth coloured options for anterior crowns?
PFM
How can all porcelain crowns be made?
Conventional build up on platinum folk or refractory model
CAD/CAM coping with conventional build up
CAD/CA! Without coping eg Cerec
Pressed porcelain
Glass infused ceramics
Cast glass ceramic
Which technqie is commonly used for all ceramic crowns?
Conventional build up on platinum foil
Which technqie is commonly used for veneers?
Conventional buildup on refractory model
What is the purpose of the foil I the porcelain?
Platinum foil laid down and then alumina or porcelain core used for strength
Platinum foil removed after glazing and prior to cementation
What type of joint is used for the platinum foil?
Tinners
How can you build up the core for the porcelain crowns?
Using a paint birth or a le cron handle
What is the technique called when you leave the platinum foil on ?
Mac clean sced techqnie
The pt foil is tin plated and allows porcelain to bond to foil
What are the options for discoulored anterior teeth?
Hydrochloric acid pumice microabrasion Non Vital bleaching Vital bleaching Localised composite veneers Crown
What can be the cause of discoloured tooth?
Intrinsic or extrinsic
Intrinsic: caries, erosion ingestion, trauma, non vital, neonatal jaundice, genetic
Extrinsic: plaque, calculus, mouth wash, smoking,diet, restorations
What are the manamagemt aims for discoloured anterior teeth?
Restore aesthetics Restore function Resolve sensitive t Preserve tooth Respect periodontal health
How does hydrochloric acid - pumice work?
This improves discolouration limited to outer enamel only
How much enamel is removed in microabrasion and pumice?
Less than 100 micrometers
What is the technique to microasbriaon?
Vitality test, x ray and photos
Clean dry and isolate
Protect soft tissues with sodium bicarbonate
18% HCL and pumice 5 sec application using slow rotary or wooden stick
Max of 10 times 5 secs
Fluoride drops for 3mins
Oldish for 1 min with soflex
When is micoabrsairon indicated?
Fluorisis
Idiopathic speckling
Post ortho demin
Well demarcated brown patch before veneer
White or brown surface staining eg turner teet
When shoud you see an improvement in colour with the microabrasion?
1/12
Which colour staining is more easily removed with microabrasion?
Brown
How do white stains improve?
Due to optical changes of aprismatic enamel
T/F there is an association between caries and prolonged thermal sensitive and microabrasion?
F
What kit do you need for microabrasion?
Pumice Rubber am and copalite varnish Bicarbonate tsoda 18% HCL or 37% phosphoric acid Non acid fluoride Fine soflex disk Fluoridated tooth paste
When is non vital bleaching indicated?
Non vital discoloured teeth
What causes the discolouration in non vital teeth?
Diffusion of Hb products from necrotic pulp tissue
What are the requirements for non vital bleaching?
Well condensed GP
No clinical evidence radiographic signs of Periapical disease
How do you perform non vital bleaching?
Pre op X-ray
Clean tooth and note shade
Access pulp chamber and remove filling to level of dento gingival
1mm zinc phosphate placed on top
Etch tooth with 37% phosphoric acid for 30-60secs
Mix bleaching agents and cover with GIC. For 1 week
WHen is non vital bleaching not effective?
Heavily restored teeth
Staining due to amalgam
21% failure rate
How often should you do the non vital bleaching?
Every week once a week until over bleached
