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
what do adhesive restorations require?
enamel all way round tooth
what does an onlay require?
enamel all way round the tooth
9 steps for crown provision
- make matrix
- prepare tooth
- retraction
- use matrix to make provisional
- remove cord after 6 mins
- working impression
- jaw reg (if needed)
- facebow (if needed)
- cement provisional
5 reasons SA articulator may be used
- multiple restorations
- increasing VD
- reorganising occlusion
- removing occlusal interferences
- when occlusal stabilisation splint required
6 ways to create space for restoration
- increase OVD
- dahl concept
- enameloplasty
- distalisation of mandible
- crown lengthening
- Orthodontics
in what position is OVD measures?
ICP
definine CR
position of musculoskeletal stability provided by healthy TMJS when the condyles are in their most superior position within the glenoid fossa with the discs correctly interposed
how much unprepared axial surface below the prep needs to be recorded in the impression?
0.5mm
how does moisture effect impression material?
physical barrier
if you were making a crown but couldn’t get moisture control because of inflammation from a preexisting overhanging restoration, how would you proceed?
- prepare + place new restoration
- wait 3-4weeks
- prescrive 0.12% chlorhexidine for 2/52
2 types of haemostat agents used on retraction cord?
- vasoconstrictors
2. astringents
how do astringents work and what is an example?
precipitate proteins on contact with blood, physically obstruct blood vessels
e.g. ferric sulfate, aluminium chloride
why does ferric sulphate cause blue/black stain for 1-2 days?
precipitating protein contains iron
for adequate thickness of impression material, how wide do you need to horizontally open sulcus?
0.2-0.3mm
2 ways of opening up sulcus for impression?
- surgery
2. retraction cord
what is the first retraction cord you put in?
compression cord - finest 00 or 000
placed to depth of sulcus
to prevent haemorrhage + GCF
what is the second retraction cord you put in?
deflection cord - wide as you can fit, 0 or 1
half into sulcus
how long do you leave retraction cords for?
5-6mins
what instruments used to put cords in?
carver or Williamson probe
when do you remove deflection cord?
before impression
when do you remove compression cord?
after impression
what material is used for impression for crown?
light bodied silicone around prep
heavy bodied around surrounding arch
how to critique impression
check finish line + material past it
no critical air blows/drags/voids
sufficient occlusal defila
sulcus captured
4 reasons to make provisional restoration?
- diagnostic
- pulpal protection - must have marginal seal
- gingival management - must have marginal fit + contour
- position stability - must have ICP contact, contact point
