Fixed Boards Flashcards
a prerequisite to fixed prosthodontic treatment
Healthy joint and supporting skeletal musculature
Normal maximal opening
53-58mm
restricted opening
less than 40mm
Class I lever
Class II lever
Class III lever
Class I -see-saw - work fulcrum force
Class II - wheel barrel - fulcrum work force
Class III- nut cracker - fulcrum force work
FMA angles
Normal - 25 +- 5
low - less than 20 - increase forces
high greater than 30 - decrease forces
biologic width
2mm from bottom of sulcus to alveolar crest.
1mm is junctional epithelium and 1mm is connective tissue
Tooth tapers
-anterior teeth: 30°
-premolars: 10°
-molars: 8°
6 indications for subgingival margins
caries
pre-existing restorations
esthetics
root sensitivity
cervical erosion
root fracture
Force on pontics 1, 2, 3
the force on 1 pontic is 1X the distance
the force on 2 pontics is 8X the distance
the force on 3 pontics is 27X the distance
Seibert Classification
Class 1 - BL
Class 2 - Apicocoronal
Class 3 - combination of both
Crown to root ratio
minimal: 1:1
best: 1:2
Ante’s Law
surface area of abutments should be equal to or exceed the area of the teeth to be replaced
Irreversible hydrocolloid ingredients
- sodium alignate
- CaSO4 2H2O
- Diatomaceous earth
- Potassium sulfate
- Trisodium phosphate
- glycols
7 wintergreen - disinfectants
alginate reaction
H20 + potassium alignate + CaSO4 2H2O -> Calcium algiante gel + KSO4
Functions of anterior deprogrammer
- relax musculature
eliminate engrams
place 20-30 mins
4 indications for a collarless metal-ceramic restoration
thin gingival tissues
high smile line
exposed root surfaces
areas where gingival recession is likely
3 principles of tooth preparation
biologic
mechanical
esthetic
4 biologic considerations
- Pulpal
- adjacent teeth
- periodontal
- conservation of tooth structure
4 indications for sub gingival margins
caries
retention/resistance form
esthetics
the need to end the margin on tooth structure and not restorative material.
3 mechanical considerations
- structural durability
- the effect of mastication forces on the cement
- retention and resistance form
Retention
path of insertion or withdrawal (should restrict the possible paths)
6 retention variables
taper
diameter
height
surface area
surface roughness
effects of boxes and grooves
Resistance
prevents dislodgment in a horizontal direction (lateral forces)
3 resistance variables
taper
diameter
height
4 esthetic considerations
retainer selection
amount of reduction
contour
placement of margin
4 ways to ensure you’re taking off the required amount of tooth structure when prepping
know the diameter of your bur
make depth cuts
use a template to evaluate your reduction
prep ½ the tooth at a time
9 functions of a provisional
pulp insulator
protects the periodontium
determines gingival tissue position at the preparation margins
maintains arch integrity
acts as a “road-test” for the final restoration
confirms esthetics of the diagnostic wax-up
confirms incisal lengths and position of teeth with regards to phonetics
a means to evaluate tooth reduction
communicates form, function, and dimensions to the lab
polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA)-Jet acrylic
high strength
best wear resistance
the most exothermic
high shrinkage
low cost
polyethyl-methacrylate (PEMA)-Snap, Trim
-moderate strength
-high wear resistance
-short term color stability
-moderate exothermicity
-moderate shrinkage
-low cost
2 advantages of custom tapered cast post and cores:
high strength with a better fit
conserves more radicular tooth structure
3 disadvantages of custom tapered cast post and cores
not as retentive
greater chance of splitting the tooth (wedge)
multiple visits required
2 disadvantages of pre-fabricated, parallel sided, dowel with core
loss of tooth structure (makes tooth fit the post)
possible corrosion with stainless steel posts
2 indications for pre-fabricated, parallel sided, dowel with core
straight canals
circular canals in x-section
How much gutta percha should remain for post and core
4/5mm
goal of tissue displacement
achieve space for impression materials both vertically and laterally.
3 types of cords
plain, braided, or knitted
Chemicals used in cords
-epinephrine
-potassium aluminum sulfate (ALUM)
-aluminum chloride (Hemodent)
-ferric sulfate
-zinc chloride
-tetrahydrozoline
