CVC Intro (22) Flashcards
Preparation definition
The final shape to receive a restoration
Complete veneer crown preparation
Extracoronal preparation involving the entire clinical crown
Complete veneer crown
A cast-gold extracoronal which covers the clinical crown
Path of withdrawal
The imaginary line along which a casting is moved when it is separated from its single crowns preparation
Should be nearly coincident with the tooth’s long axis
Want it to be +/- 5 degrees
Axial wall
Part of a crown prep prepared in the long six of the tooth - can be designated as buccal, lingual, mesial, or distal
Convergence angle
The angle or taper formed by diametrically opposed axial walls
Should be ~6 degrees
Chamfer
The cervical junction of the prepared axial wall and the unprepared portion of the tooth structure.s. Extends around the most cervical portion of the tooth prep.
Line angles
Lines formed by the junction of any two tooth surfaces. Should be rounded in a CVC prep
Axial wall line angle
The junction between 2 axial walls
Occlusoaxial line angle
The junction between the occlusal surface and an axial wall
Cavosurface line angle
The junction of prepared and unprepared tooth
This is an external line angle
Depth orientation grooves
Grooves placed on the surface of the tooth to provide a reference to determine when sufficient tooth structure has been reduced
Functional cusp bevel
A wide bevel placed on the functional cusps, the thickness of which ensures that correct contours of the final restoration be re-established while providing correct convergence and adequate thickness of materials
Undercut
A crown preparation is undercut if a wax pattern cannot be withdrawn from its die without distortion
Occlusal clearance
The distance between the occlusal surface of the prepared tooth and the occlusal surface of the opposite tooth.
This is evaluated during excursive jaw movements as well as in as well as in intercuspal position
Retention form
The characteristics of the tooth preparation which tends to resist the removal of a restoration along its path of withdrawal
