Crowns & Onlays Flashcards
what to warn pt of when crown / onlay on tooth
20-30% risk of devitalisation which would require RCT in future.
it tooth non vital & previously RCT risk of failure and need for new crown/onlay
what is an inlay & indications
indirect intracoronal restoration that does not provide cuspal coverage
proximal & occlusal surface replaced
used for occlusal and/or proximal cavities or when failure of direct restoration
prep principles of inlay
isthmus 1.5-2mm
flat pulpal floor
4-6 degree tapered walls
no undercuts
if ceramic - butt joint 90 degree cavosurface margins
if metal 20-30 degree bevel on cavosurface margins
contact points clear
rounded internal line angles
what is an onlay & indications
indirect intra & extra coronal restoration that incorporates cusps & provides cuspal coverage
used if: cusp #, tooth wear, caries, preexisting failed rest with large isthmus, rest of RCT treated tooth
prep principles for onlay
isthmus to follow restoration pattern
flat pulpal floor
4-6 degree tapered walls
no undercuts
butt joint 90 degree CVSM
contact points clear (proximal only)
rounded internal line angles
axial shoulder or chamfer = 1mm reduction
ceramic -> functional cusp 2mm reduction, non functional cusp 1.5mm reduction
gold type III -> functional cusp 1mm reduction, non functional cusp 0.5mm reduction
what is a crown & indications
indirect restoration that fully covers coronal aspect of tooth
used if: cusp #, toothwear, caries, preexisting restoration had large isthmus, restoration of RCT treated tooth, high aesthetic demand, onlay not possible
if 2 stage impression technique chosen
must take silicone impression with a separator prior to starting prep
ceramic crown prep
- take sectional silicone imp for temp crown/onlay production (ensure it is taken in sectional tray)
- remove prev rest & caries removal
- immediate dentine sealing
- begin with occlusal reduction, then axial & interproximal (use depth cutting burs to prevent over prep)
- non functional cusp reduction = 1.5-2mm, functional cusp reduction = 2mm, aim for 6 degree tapered axial walls & 1-1.5mm marginal reduction
- bevel functional cusp; this should be the same angle as the non functional cusp incline
- finishing inc: polishing proximal boxes & flare edges, pep a rounded shoulder/chamfer margin, round off internal sharp angles, remove enamel lips, no undercuts
- continue at temp crown construction
metal crown prep
- take sectional silicone imp for temp crown / onlay construction
- remove prev rest, caries removal
- immediate dentine sealing
- place composite core
- occlusal reduction followed by axial & interproximal (use depth cutting burs & mark depth cuts in pencil to ensure even reduction)
- non functional cusp reduction = 1.5-2mm, functional cusp reduction = 2mm, aim for 6 degree tapered axial walls & 1-1.5mm marginal reduction
- bevel functional cusp; should be same angle as non functional cusp incline
- continue at temp crown construction
anterior crown preparation
- take sectional silicone matrix (using diagnostic wax up if available)
- prep tooth in 3 planes; cervical 1/3, middle 1/3, incisal 1/3 to prevent encroaching on pulp (the darker the underlying tooth the the deeper the reduction buccally to allow for masking)
- place composite core
- special attention to gingival contour (related to smile line & how much tooth exposed when smiling & talking)
- perform incisal edge reduction & ensure 2mm interocclusal space
- labial, lingual / palatal & interproximal reduction 1.2-1.4mm depth cuts will improve accuracy
- porcelain fused to metal; 0.7mm palatal chamfer, 0.7mm cingulum reduction & 1.5mm labial shoulder margin
- all ceramic; 1-1.5mm palatal shoulder/chamfer margin, 1mm cingulum reduction, 1-1.5mm labial shoulder/chamfer margin
- assess prep from occlusal & axial views; use reduction stent to confirm adequate prep dimensions
- smooth & polish
- continue to temp crown construction
temp crown construction
- check for easy placement & removal of sectional silicone imp over pre (remove excess with scalpel if interfering with proper index placement)
- dry prep site with 3in1
- fill prepared tooth in putty matrix with temp crown/onlay material & place over prep
- bisacryl composite / poly n butyl methacrylate
- after initial set remove imp and allow it to cure fully out of the mouth
- use thickness of temp crown/onlay as an indicator of adequate tooth reduction; if temp has voids / too thin / slightly translucent assess cause
- use burs & discs to remove excess temp material, smooth & polish with soflex
- bis acryl comp affects setting of silicone so make sure prep has been cleaned with alcohol prior to taking imps
- temp crown is cemented after final imp of prep is taken
- continue to imp taking stage
impression stage
- assess gingival condition (if inflamed / oedematous / traumatised consider deferring)
- tray selection (rigid tray preferred)
- apply appropriate adhesive material (for 10mins) based in imp material
- place gingival retraction cord; use angulated cord packer to ‘walk’ cord into crevice & leave for minimum of 2mins
- gently remove retraction cord in accordance with technique used ( double cord preferred for thick gingival biotypes and single cord preferred for thin gingival biotype due to high recession risk)
- assess gingivae to ensure adequate retraction achieved
- wash and dry prep
- use 1or 2 stage imp technique
- remove impression & check for bubbles, air blows, defects. ensure occlusal surface & margins or prep are captured adequately (if not repeat)
- take opposing arch alginate / silicone / polyether imp
- take bite reg. use silicone bite paste & ensure pt is occluding in ICP
- cement temp crown / onlay with temp cement
- remove excess cement with probe & floss. check occlusion, guidances & excursions adjusting as necessary
- fill lab card & send disinfected samples
1 stage impression technique
- for upper preps the hard palate does not need to be captured
- syringe light body silicone or medium body polyether around the prep into gingival crevice & across all occlusal surfaces on same arch
- take imp with medium / heavy body silicone or medium body polyether & await final set
2 stage imp technique
- prior to starting prep use heavy body silicone with plastic separator to take an imp of the arch ( this will act as special tray)
- proceed with the prep & gingival retraction
- syringe light body silicone around the prep & into the gingival crevice & into heavy body silicone imp taken earlier
- seat tray & await final set
information to include on lab card
- shade; for LiDiSi inc core shade & photos
- for LiDiSi request HF acid tx on fit surfaces
- for zirconia & metal request sandblasting of fit surfaces
- request for casts to be articulated according to jaw reg +/- facebow for multiple crowns
