Crown Preparations- margin design Flashcards
Parts of a crown preparation:
- axial wall
- interproximal wall
- finish line
- occlusal anatomy
A full coverage restoration can survive in the biologic environment of the oral cavity only if:
the margins are closely adapted to the surface finish line of the preparation
The design of the preparation ______ dictates the shape and bulk of restorative material in the marginal area of the restoration
finish line
Types of finish line design include:
- knife edge
- chamfer (light and heavy)
- shoulder
- beveled should
A chamfer finish line can be described as:
light or heavy
Finish line design that is used primarily for full metal crowns only. (Especially gold crowns):
Knife edge
Most conservative preparation design for the finish line :
Knife edge
What may be used to create a knife edge finish line?
Flame or needle-shaped diamond bur
The disadvantages of knife edge finish lines include:
- difficult to see finish line in an impression or scan
- metal can be thin & susceptible to distortion under heavy occlusal load
- often leads to an over-bulking of crown material to compensate for thinness along margin
- easy to miss creating distinct end of finish line and instead acial wall never terminates
This image shows a knife edge finish line. What is the disadvantage to B?
Margin thin and susceptible to distortion
This image shows a knife edge finish line. What is the disadvantage to C?
To compensate for thin marginal area, labs will overbulk crown at margin
What are the indications for the use of knife edge margin finish lines?
- generally NOT indicated
- in certain instances like a tipped molar, a knife edge margin is possible to be conservative in an abnormal area
- must have an excellent lab technician
In certain instances, like a tipped molar, a _____ margin is possible to be conservative in an abnormal area
knife edge
Label the following types of margin finish lines:
(left to right)
1. shoulder
2. chamfer
3. knife edge
What is required for a knife edge finish line?
An excellent lab technician
What are the two types of chamfer margins?
- heavy chamfer
- light chamfer
What types of crowns use a light chamfer?
Metal crowns & zirconia crowns
What types of crowns use a heavy chamfer?
-Ceramic crowns
-Zirconia crowns
-Metal-ceramic crowns
What type of bur can be used to create a chamfer finish line?
Round-end tapered diamond
A heavy chamfer will work for what type of crowns?
Any type of crown
When creating a chamfer margin finish line axial depth more than 1/2 the bur, can create ____ of the margin, which leave ____ likely to chip or break leaving an open and exposed margin
lipped edges; unsupported enamel
What are the advantages of a chamfer margin finish line? (5)
- chamfer is well suited to full metal crowns & zirconia crowns
- ease of seating & placing crown
- ease of detecting margin on impression/scan
- if full metal, chamfer is easy to wax & cast
- provides adequate thickness of restoration material at margin area
A light chamfer is ______ deep in axial wall
A light chamfer produces a _____ degree margin with rounded internal angle
0.3-0.5 mm
30-45 degree margin
A light chamfer produces a a ____ internal angle
Rounded
Type of margin finish line that combines knife edge burnish-ability with bulk of material for all metal crowns:
Chamfer
Label the parts of the following crown prep:
a) chamfer finish line
b) functional cusp bevel
c) planar occlusal reduction
d) rounded angles
e) axial reduction
the chamfer finish line promotes:
marginal integrity
the functional cusp bevel promotes:
structural durability
the planar occlusal reduction promotes:
structural durability
the rounded line angles promote:
structural durability
the axial reduction promotes:
retention and resistance
A heavy chamfer provides room for:
thicker ceramic margin
The ______ of the heavy chamfer decreases material stress in the margin area
internal rounded angle
What is the measurements of a heavy chamfer?
(How deep)
1.0-1.2mm deep
What bur is used to accomplish a heavy chamfer?
typically a large round-ended diamond bur
Label which chamfer is light and which is heavy:
Left- light
Right- heavy
A ______ margin design produces a close to 90 degree angle
shoulder
A shoulder margin design produces a close to _____ degree angle
90
A shoulder margin design is used primarily for ______ crowns and ______ crowns where thickness of material is important but can also be used for ___ crowns
metal ceramic & all ceramic; zirconia
A modified shoulder produces a _____ angle
rounded
A shoulder margin is typically created with:
flat-end diamond burs
In a shoulder margin design, the angle of the axial wall and finish line is close to 90 degrees and this functions to:
decrease stresses on restoration material
A shoulder margin designs primarily used for _____ and ____ crowns
metal-ceramic & all ceramic
Label the different margins shown:
Left: shoulder margin
Right: beveled shoulder
Some shoulder finish lines can include a bevel at a _____ degree angle
30-45
A shoulder with a bevel is often used for _____ and _____
inlays and onlays
What type of margin can be used for metal ceramic crowns where there is a metal collar?
beveled shoulder
