Q

What happens if you remove too much tooth structure during post-space preparation?

A

Weaken root which may fracture during cementation of post or subsequent function

Q

Difficulty in conserving tooth structure?

A
  1. Hard to enlarge root canal uniformly
  2. Hard to judge how much tooth structure has been removed
  3. Most roots are narrower mesiodistally than buccolingual
  4. Many roots have proximal concavities that cannot be seen in standard PA radiographs

Q

Describe Nayyar’s Technique

A

A coronal-radicular dowel and core technique for endodontically-treated posterior teeth whereby amalgam is condensed 2-4mm into each canal, pulp chamber and coronal portion of tooth.

Natural divergence of canals and undercuts in pulp chamber provide excellent retention.

Amalgam offers resistance to horizontal and vertical forces.

Q

Criteria for Nayyar’s Technique?

A
  1. Size of remaining pulp chamber must be sufficient width and depth to provide adequate bulk of amalgam and retention
  2. Adequate dentine thickness in area of pulp chamber required for rigidity and strength
17
Q

Steps to Nayyar’s Technique?

A
  1. GP removed by heated instrument 2-4mm into each canal
  2. Gates Glidden burs increase diameter of canals
  3. Remove unsupported enamel
  4. Check that cavity preparation has resistance and outline form
  5. Place matrix band
  6. Condense amalgam into preparation
  7. Remove matrix band then carve anatomic form of tooth
  8. Crown delivery
18
Q

Post-space Preparation

A
  1. Apical 2-3mm of post space allow for snug fit of selected final post
  2. Coronal seal and fit of core material
19
Q

What should you do if you do not have past records of the reference point and working length?

A
  1. Past PA radiographs
  2. Clinical crown height
20
Q

What happens after Post-space Preparation?

A
  1. Trial seating and adjustment of post
  2. Refinement of coronal tooth structure
  3. Place core material
  4. Definitive cementation of metal post
21
Q

Lentulo-spirals are used for?

A

Inserting glass ionomer cement into canal

NOT for resin cements

22
Q

What cements are used for provisional cementation?

A

Zinc polycarboxylate and ZOE cement

23
Q

RMGIC is contraindicated in?

A
  1. Non-vital teeth because expansion due to water sorption may induce root fracture
  2. All-ceramic feldspathic type restorations
24
Q

What cements are used for definitive cementation of posts?

A
  1. Zn phosphate
  2. GIC
  3. Resin cemenet
25
Q

How to do core build-up?

A
  1. Matrix band
  2. Composite resin or Amalgam
  3. Adhere to OD principles
26
Q

What drills to use for fibre post?

A

DT Light drills

27
Q

What drills to use for metal post?

A

Parapost drills
