Crowns/inlays/onlays Flashcards
What are the clinical stages in indirect restorations?
- preparation
- temporisation
- impression and registration
- cementation
What are the characteristics of a good provisional restoration ?
- good margin
- well contoured with no overhangs
- Cleansable for the patient
- prevent sensitivity
- prevent microleakage
What will a poorly fitted and contoured provisional restoration result in ?
- make it hard to clean
- poor moisture control
- gingival overgrowth
What are the ideal characteristics of provisional materials
non irritant
low temperature rise during setting
dimensionally stable
adequate setting time
adequate strength
good aesthetics
What are examples of provisional restorations?
- protemp plus (chemically cured bisacrylic composite resin)
What type of impression would you take?
sectional , due to difficulty of reseating
What materials would you take the impression with? and what is the characteristics?
- alginate (cheaper and can’t be reused)
- addition cured silicone putty (tear resistance and can be reused)
- custom vacuum formed plastic mould (stent) (made on study model and diagnostic wax up )
what is the steps in crown
- sectional impression
- prepare tooth
- syringe bis acrylic composite resin
- relocate impression in the mouth
- remove before complete polimerisation at rubbery stage
- polish
- remove
- confirm tooth preparation using svensen gauge
- check marginal fit and occlusion and aesthetics
- check aesthetics
What will you use to cement temporary restoration?
- Temp bond (non-eugenol temporary cement material)
What is svenson gauge used for?
check tooth preparation and provisional thickness
How to remove current crown?
- sliding hammer
- WAMkey
- safe relax anthrogyr
What advice would you give a patient after temporising the crowns?
- maintain good oral hygiene
- advice in interdental cleaning 1-2 times a day
- be carful when using floss as it may pull out the restoration
What are the contraindications of indirect restorations?
- poor OH
- high caries rate
- inter-proximal caries
- gingival recession
Why did you restore the 47 with an onlay?
- there are still cusps available
- to replace the failed direct restoration
What difficulties might you face regarding the onlays?
- poor moisture control
- may take a long time to fabricate in lab
Why restore teeth with crowns?
- to protect the tooth structure
- improve aesthetics
- when it is indicated by RPD (consider rest seats, clasps and guideplanes)
What guidelines would you use to treatment plan restorations?
BSRD (the British society for restorative dentistry)
What does under preparation for a crown result in?
- occlusal interference
- poor aesthetics
- Pulp and tooth strength being compromised
How can you improve crowns retention?
by limiting the number of path of insertions (to prevent the removal of the restoration along the path of insertion)
