CSL Book 2 Blue Flashcards
2 things that can lead to class IV restoration
- trauma
- progression of class III caries
who is most at risk for trauma injuries to teeth
children
normal angle of fracture across crown
45 degrees towards palatal surface
3 special investigations with trauma cases
- clinical exam/history: discolouration of crown, mobility of tooth, position of tooth in occlusion
- vitality: at least 2 methods inc pulp tests to eliminate concussion
- radiographs: 2 views periapicals with different angulations to identify fracture lines
2 complications of trauma leading to class IV
- root fracture
- damage to adjacent teeth
is enamel bevelling usual for class IV restorations? why?
no because it removes more tooth structure.
what bevel is normal for class IV and how is it done
labial margin only is bevelled so composite can be blended with tooth structure
use D&Z850 at 45 degrees or greater to long axis of tooth –> 1mm bevel
not to edges to avoid damage to adjacent teeth
what lining to use for class IV cavities
- total etch and bond (shallow -moderate depth cavities, this is enough to seal dentine tubules)
- light-cured GIC (bonds to dentine AND composite)
- setting calcium hydroxide (when deep cavity nr pulp)
usually use GIC or setting calc hydroxide
type of wax used to box the impression in lost wax technique and why this is done 2
ribbon wax
- contain die stone, prevent distortion
- ensure the model has sufficient thickness for drilling in to its base
what type of gypsum is used for cast metal restoration
modified alpha hemi-hydrate (artificial/die stone)
thickness of model and why 2
15mm gingival margin to base
- avoids fracture during drilling
- ensures base is flat for next stage
are labial/lingual pins longer and colour of sleeve
LONG, WHITE, LIPS
labial: longer, white sleeve
lingual: shorter, grey sleeve
LONG LIPS, WHITE IS LONGER WORD
what is used to base the model
50:50 plaster stone mix
3 advantages of pindex system
- PRECISE location in to plastic sleeves
- DURABLE- plastic sleeves prevent wear
- STABLE (twin pin system- 2 pins per area –> no danger of rotation)
what can be applied to die and adjacent teeth to prevent damage/distortion, how do they work
stone die and plaster hardeners (resins in soln)
absorb in to die stone material –> seal/waterproof surface while protecting definition of margins (don’t create another layer, just blend in to surface)
what material is the plastic coping made of
polythene
thickness and positions of pieces of plastic foils
thicker 0.6mm below thinner 0.1mm (thinner one contacts the die)
0.6-0.1-die
how far above margin to trim plastic coping
1mm
size and angle of sprue
2mm
45 degrees to thickest section of wax pattern
why must sprue be fairly large
allow free flow of molten alloy
where should sprue be positioned in crucible former and why
no less than 7mm from upper edge
prevents molten alloy from breaking through when entering the mould
when is wetting agent applied and why
prior to investing
reduce surface tension–> smooth cast surface
why must investment be mixed under vacuum
eliminate air inclusions that may result in air pockets forming against pattern surface
% shrinkage of casting gold and what compensates for it
1.5%
compensated for by 3 EXPANSIONS: setting, hygroscopic and thermal of investment material
