CSAR Flashcards
what can’t an indirect restoration have?
undercut
4 disadvantages of crown?
- destructuve to tooth tissue
- potential for pulp damage
- fail eventually
- expensive
what is an inlay?
intra-coronal indirect restoration
2 types of ceramic crown?
Emax + zirconia
4 materials crowns can be made from?
- all metal
- ceramic
- PFM
- composite
can emax or zirconia be etched?
emax
2 types of cementation method?
mechanical - conventional
adhesive - resin cement
when an anterior tooth is under load what sort of force acts palatally and buccally?
tension palatally
compression buccally
what does marginal breakdown of posterior teeth lead to?
cuspal flexure = crack
3 stages of preparation for crown
- occlusal reduction
- axial reduction
- marginal configuration
what is the critical area of a tooth to retain tissue?
peri-cervical area
advantage of adhesive retention?
conservative to tooth tissue
main contraindication to indirect restoration
periodontal disease
5 considerations for restoring a tooth with a crown
- ability to retain core
- isolation ability
- ferrule necessary to retain indirect restoration
- retention/resistance form
- cold sensitivity
how much more preparation on functional cusp?
0.5mm more
what is retention form
prevents removal of restoration along long axis
what is resistance form
prevent removal of restoration in apical/oblique direction
what is minimum height a prep can be
~ 3-4mm
what is the ideal taper
6-12degrees
3 reasons margin of crown must be good
aesthetics
periodontal health
marginal seal = prevent microleakage
3 types of margin design
shoulder
chamfer
knife-edge
what type of margin for metal?
chamfer
what type of margin for porcelain?
shoulder
why should anterior margins be just subgingival?
aesthetics
