Q

What is the main advantage of adhesive restorations?

A

Macroretentive elements are no longer mandatory as long as enough surface is available, thanks to dentin adhesives.

Q

How did adhesion change the restoration of endodontically treated teeth?

A

Adhesion made it possible to create restorations without relying on macromechanical retention, allowing for better aesthetics and function.

What is an endocrown?

A

An endocrown is a total porcelain crown that is anchored to the internal portion of the pulp chamber and cavity margins of endodontically treated teeth.

Q

How does the monoblock technique work in endocrowns?

A

The monoblock technique uses macromechanical retention from the pulpal walls and micromechanical retention through adhesive cementation.

Q

How is intracoronal height reduced during endocrown preparation?

A

It is reduced to 2.0 mm, measured from the internal cavity margin to the floor of the pulp chamber.

Q

What is the correct alignment for axial walls in endocrown preparation?

A

Q

How are CAD/CAM ceramic endocrowns fabricated?

A

They are fabricated using systems like CEREC, with materials such as feldspathic ceramic, lithium disilicate, or resin nanoceramic blocks.

Q

What is the purpose of smoothing internal line angles in endocrown preparation?

A

Smoothing internal line angles helps reduce stress concentration and improves the fit of the endocrown.
