final Flashcards
what does an MCC crown combine elements of
CVC and ACC
where to reduce more or less for an MCC crown
more reduction where ceramic will be placed
less where metal only will be placed
how do you ensure good esthetics on a MCC
substantial tooth reduction
minimal metal thickness on a MCC anterior corwn
.5mm at edge
.3mm at facial
1mm at lingual
Minimal metal thickness on a MCC posterior crown
.3mm at buccal
.8-1.2 mm at central groove
1.3-1.7mm at functional tip
.6 mm at the lingual
what are the consequences of under prepping an MCC
Opaque looking crown
Over contoured gingival margin
Minimal porcelain thickness for an anterior crown
- 2mm facial
1. 5 mm incisally
Minimal porcelain thickness for a posterior crown
- 2mm facial
1. 3-1.7 at facial cusp tip
what happens if you don’t correctly shape the second facial plane
opaque looking crown
over contoured gingival margin
Bulls-eye opaque area on incisal 1/3
how thick overal should an MCC crown be
1.5mm for porcelain/metal areas
1.2mm for porcelain
.3mm for` metal
how should the cavosurface margin look on the facial for a MCC
Porcelain Labial margin (90 degrees) Slopped shoulder (120 degrees)
what should the cavosurface margin look on the lingual side of the cavosurface margin
Chamfer (.5mm)
why is the sloped shoulder important
Allows for metal to come right to the cavosurface margin
what finish line is used for metal crown
Knife (feather edge)
Chamfer
what finish line is used for MCC (PFM)
Sloped shoulder
Shoulder
Beveled shoulder
when is a knife (feather) edge useful
Very subgingival margins
what is a porcelain butt margin
A porcelain labial margin of 90 degrees
what is a conventional margin
Sloped shoulder (120 degrees)
what to use to achieve uniform tooth reduction
Guide groves
Depth grooves
Precision reduction indicators
how should the labia be reduced
two plane redction (1.3-1.5mm)
how should the lingual be reduced
1mm
chamfer on the lingual
.5mm
why does lipping occur
when the chamfer diamond is used at more than 1/2 depth
how to identify lipping
Visual and tactile
lingual concavities
Incisors: uniform slight concave
Canines: biconcave
layers at the margin for an MCC
metal framework
Opaque porcelain
Translucent porcelain
what is needed for determine margin location
Evaluation of the smile line
pros and cons of 90 degree butt joint
brittle
looks good
pros and cons of 120 degree sloped shoulder
gives more strength
supports margin
looks bad (Creates a shadow)
when are margins visible for a smile
With a high lip line (margins not visible if lip line is low
what happens if the margin is not placed deep enough under the tissue for a crown
risk for recession and potential exposure of the crown margin (esthetically unacceptable)
what happens if the margin is placed too deep
risk for possible biological width impingement
what is a greatetr problem too deep or not deep enough
Too deep due to biologic width impingement
what is the best biological response
Supra gingival
what is the best esthetic response
sub gingival
what to pay attention to for the best of both worlds when restoring a crown
Attention to details of the biologic width
why does a porcelin labial margin of 90 degrees look nicer
allows light to transmit down the root
why does a sloped shoulder cast a shadow
does not allow light to transmit to rooot (creating a shadow in the root)
what causes the darkline at the margin of an MCC
metal collar or conventional sloped shoulder designs
Dark underlying root structure from trauma or previous endo treatment
what determines where the restorative margin is placed relative to the tissue and the response of that tissue
Biology itself
what are biologic consideration
Prevention of damage during tooth preparation
what must be important for biologic considerations
Adjacent teeth
Pulpal response
Soft tissue (biologic width)
the empty space between gingiva and enamel
Sulcus
where the epithelium of the gums attaches to the tooth
Epithelail tissue
what is the biologic width
the amount of stuff between the deptth of gingival sulcus and the tip of the alveolar bone
what is the biological width made of
the PDL connective tissue and epithilium above the alveolar bone
what is the correct biologic width necessary for
for the existence of healthy bone and tissue from the most apical extent of a dental restoration
mean biological width
2.15-2.30mm (usually about 50:50 with maybe a bit more connective tissue)
range of biologic width
.2-6.73mm
average sulcus depth
1mm
what is the significance of biologic width
Its importance relative to the position of retorative margins and its impact on poastsurgical tissue position
