Q

Describe the essential component of a restoration following endodontically treated teeth - “Coronal Seal”

A
  • Critical to prevent reinfection
  • Should be carried out as soon as possible
  • Applied either directly or indirectly
  • Isolation achieved by rubber dam, cotton wool and well-adapted matrix

Q

Describe the essential component of a restoration following endodontically treated teeth - “Restore Function”

A
  • Restore tooth back into articulation
  • Provide occlusal centric stops
  • Approximal contact points
  • Prevents tilting and over eruption

Q

Describe the essential component of a restoration following endodontically treated teeth - “Aesthetics”

A
  • Caries in unaesthetic
  • Treating the disease and restoring form will improve aesthetics
  • Consider bleaching non vital discoloured teeth
17
Q

Describe the essential component of a restoration following endodontically treated teeth - “Maintain Gingival Health”

A
  • Avoid positive and negative ledges at restoration margins
  • Sectional matrix system
  • Anatomical shape
  • Closed contact point
18
Q

Describe the essential component of a restoration following endodontically treated teeth - “Cuspal Coverage”

A
  • Depends on amount of tooth structure remaining and amount and direction of occlusal load
19
Q

Name 3 types of direct restorations following endodontic treatment

A
  1. Amalgam
  2. Composite
  3. Direct post
20
Q

Name 5 types of indirect restorations following endodontic treatment

A
  1. Inlay
  2. Onlay
  3. Overlay
  4. Full coverage crown
  5. Cast post crowns
21
Q

Describe restoration of anterior teeth

A
  • Small defects likely to be restored using composite
  • Larger defects may be considered for crowning
  • Retention may be achieved by post into canal space if not enough remaining tooth structure
22
Q

How are posterior teeth usually restored when both marginal ridges and cusps are lost?

A

Indirect restorations

23
Q

Discuss the use of a core in restoration of posterior teeth

A
  • Should be avoided as fractures common as all load down one root
  • Nayyar Core used instead
24
Q

Describe SDR as a material to restore posterior teeth

A
  • Self-Levelling
  • Applied in increment of up to 4mm and light cured
  • Requires composite cap
  • Low shrinkage and contraction
