final exam operative Flashcards
What are supporting cusps
STAMP CUSPS
the ones that contact in MIP
OPPOSITE OF BULL
what are guiding cusps
IDLING CUSPS
NON-SUPPORTING
MAY contact when mandible moves laterally
BULL
What are the two forms of MIP contacts
combination of cusp to marginal ridge and cusp to fossa (more common)
only cusp to fossa
what if often referred to as ideal or normal occlusion
Cusp-to-marginal ridge and cusp-to-fossa occlusion (combination of both)
describe functional activiities and border movements of max and mand
max - the lines come off anterior
mand - the lines come off posterior (tip/point is most anterior part)
what is the purpose of a fossa
it channels food that is being chewed AWAY from the interproximal spaces and into the fossa instead
what kind of lever is the mandible
clss 3
because of the location of the masseter and TMJ
the further anterior in the arch,
the less force/load the masseters can exert on the teeth
describe mutual protection
Anterior teeth protect the posterior teeth in eccentric movements of the mandible
Posterior teeth protect anterior teeth in MI
with regards to occlusion, what do you do before you place the rubber damn
pre mark the occlusion
if there is canine guidance… there is NO…
no contact in eccentric
In a group-function occlusal scheme, any eccentric contact should …
harmonize with other eccentric markings, and should only involve facial (buccal) cusps.
which contacts do you exaggerate with thicker tape
excursives
which contacts go first
excursives
MIPs go on top of excursives
when you place a restoration and adjust occlusion in MI…
make sure there are no heavy marks in CR position or in slide between CR and MIP.
What contacts should remain on the teeth?
MI
What marks should be removed off the teeth?
eccentric movements
what are the 4 class 5 lesions
Cervical caries lesions (primary lesions)
Root caries lesions (primary lesions)
Recurrent caries lesions (secondary lesions)
Non-carious cervical lesions (NCCL)
how can you tell the difference between an arrested nad active lesion
arrested - dark brown
active - yellowish brown
what is the reason for seenig root caries before caries ont he crown
cementum and enamel respond differently to acid challenge
hard, shiny, dark brown, distanced from gingival margin.
Advanced lesions
Active lesions
soft, highly infected, found close to gingival margin.
where does demineralization occur more rapidly?
root or enamel
on root
6.2 is the pH of
dentin and cementum
5.5 is the pH of
enamel
why is demineralization more intense on the root surface
Caries process enhanced by reduced salivary flow.
You will see that the SOFT TISSUE IS HEALTHY – no gingival inflammation because there is NO CARIES. No biofilm. No plaque. It is HEALTHY. NON CARIOUS
Non-Carious Cervical Lesions(NCCLs)
what are the two shapes of NCCLs
U shape
V shape
what is a cited causes of NCCL
BUT THESE REASONS ARE WRONG
tooth flexure (bending) abfraction lesions the tooth is “bending” – intereference in occlusion so the enamel breaks. This isn’t really why it happens.
WHAT are the CORRECT reasons for NCCLs
Toothbrush vs Toothpaste Abrasion
Combined effects in an acid challenge, caused by diet, gastric reflux, etc.
So.. NCCLs are caused by..
MULTIFACTORIAL
Tooth bending (abfraction)
Erosion (acid effect)
Abrasion (wear from toothpaste and brushing)
Evidence shows no single etiological factor, but instead a combination.
what are some things you need to consider when restoring a Class V lesion
Esthetics
Access and isolation
Variability of dentin composition
what are 4 materials that can be used to restore a class V lesion
Glass ionomer
Compomer
RMGI
Resin based composite
why is the cervical margin of crowns weak?
the margin may be in dentin or cementum (over enamel)
moisture contamination is more likely
Mismatch of Coefficient of Thermal Expansion of enamel and that of restorative materials.
how do you treat a NON CAVITATED lesion
preventive measures
how do you treat a SHALLOW LESION
debride and fluoride
how do you treat an ARRESTED LESION
fluoride and OHI
how do you treat a cavitated lesion
Be aware of the restorative challenges in isolation, access, preparation, restorative material placement, etc.
when do you consider restoring an NCCL
Intolerably or uncontrollably sensitive. Deep enough to endanger pulpal health. Deep enough to compromise the structural integrity of the tooth. Lesion is esthetically unacceptable. Under the clasp of an RPD. Lesion is cariously involved.
if a PT is at high risk for caries… consider using
RMGI
if esthetics is of main concern.. use
composite
