Extra coronal restoration Flashcards
List some examples of different types of crowns
- Full veneer crown (FVC)
- Metal ceramic crown (MCC)
- All ceramic crown (ACC)
How much reduction do we do for an FVC
Buccal: 0.5mm
Occlusal: 1-1.5mm
Lingual: 0.5mm
How much reduction do we do for an MCC
Buccal: 1.2-1.5mm
Occlusal: 1.5-2.5mm
Lingual: 0.5mm
How much reduction do we do for an ACC
Buccal: 1mm
Occlusal: 1.5-2mm
Lingual: 1mm
What are the advantages of a crown
- Protects severely broken down teeth
- Protects remaining tooth tissue
- Improves aesthetic
- Can last longer than direct restorations
- Can be placed on a root filled tooth
- Can be used to replace heavily restored teeth
What are the disadvantages of a crown
- High biological
- Demanding and easy to mess up
- Difficult to get aesthetics right
- May take several appointments
5, Stripping of enamel can lead to dentine sensitivity
How many crowned teeth are non vital
20 %

For a patient with group function which crown would you recommend and why
FVC is better as patients with group function will grind on their back teeth and metal is kinder to opposing teeth
What are the 4 stages of treatment planning
- Establishing a healthy oral environment
2, Corrective - Advanced treatment
- Replace missing teeth
What is an indirect restoration
A restoration that isn not paced directly in the mouth
Hive examples of indirect restorations
Crowns
Veneers
Onlays
Inlays
Why. might we choose t place an indirect restoration over a direct one
- Comfort
- Function (indirect restorations are stronger)
- Stability
What must we do to the tooth before placing an indirect restoration
We must prep it to make space
Why do we need to prepare a tooth for an indirect restoration
To create room for an indirect restoration to sit
What must we make sure our preparation doesn’t have?
An undercut
What can happen if our preparation has an undercut
Then the crown will be vulnerable to cracking and breaking off
How can we correct any undercuts we may create on our preparation
We may need to full the space with lining/ filling material
What are the problems associated with under preparing a tooth
- Bulbosity will be seen at that portion of the tooth (PRF)
- There won’t be enough space for the porcelain and metal
- Can put stress on the crown increasing the risk of fracture
What are the problems associated with over preparing a tooth
Can expose/ damage the pulp
What does retention prevent
It prevents the removal of the crown along the path of insertion
What does resistance prevent
It prevents dislodgement by lateral or apical forces under occlusal load
How can we improve resistance and retention
BY having an adequate taper
The more P_____ the two surfaces are, the better the retention
Parallel
What happens to the retention and resistance as the taper increases
Decreases
How much is suitable taper
6 degrees
Why is it important we achieve a good taper
- Preserve tooth tissue
- Provides good resistance and retention
- Allows a visible finish line
- Allows for adequate seating of indirect restoration
How does surface area affect retention and resistance
The larger the surface area of the tooth, the greater the R & R
What can we place on the prep to increase retention and residence
Grooves and boxes
Cements can work…
Actively and passively
how do passive cements work
They fill the gap between the crown and tooth
How do active cements work
They bond to the surface of the tooth to improve adhesion
What different material scan we use to make crowns
- Metal ceramic
- Gold
- Non precious metal
- All ceramic
Describe how we want the margin of our crown to look
We want the margin to be:
Crisp
Defines
Accurate
Do we want eh margin to be supra or sub gingival?
Why
Supra so that no one can see the margin
What is the biological width
The distance from the depth of sulcus to alveolar crest
What must we never do in terms of the biological width
Compromise it
Why must we not compromise the biological width
We can create inflammation that can lead to disease
Makes impressions inaccurate and can lead to recession
What is a crown
A restoration designed outside of the mouth to encompass the entire tooth
How is a crown different to an onlay
Onlays only cover part of the tooth surface
What do we do the excess cement the squeezes from the bottom when we are placing a crown
We MUST remove it before ti sets
What do we mean by taper
Degree of convergence of the walls
What do we mean by height
Distance from the margin to the occlusal/ incisal prepped surface
When can open crown margins occur
Poor impressions or recession occurring over time
Which materials can we use to make a full veneer crown
- Precious metal eg gold
2. Non rapacious metal eg cobalt chrome
What is another name for all ceramic crowns
Dentine bonded crowns
What are some of the advantages of gold crowns
- Strong
- Durable
- Similar hardness to enamel
- Inert
- Accurate fitting on tooth margins
- Minimal reduction required
- Manufacturing proces sis easy
How do we take an impression for a crown prep
2 different impression material sare used: light and heavy body silicone
What are some of the indications for using gold crowns
- Restoring tooth back to function
- Posterior crown
- Tooth with limiting starting height
What are some of the advantages of metal ceramic crown
- Aesthetic
- Strong
- Durable
- Requires little prep palatally
