118
Q

True or False
A pier abutment is a terminal abutment of a long span bridge.

True or False:
With the introduction of modern resin cements, resin-retained bridges can also be used confidently as long span bridges.

A

False

121
Q

What provides the ferrule effect?

A

Coronal Dentine

(the ferrule effect is when a band of natural tooth is used to reinforce the structure by increasing the resistance and stability of a restored tooth)

122
Q

How much minimum dentine height is needed for an effective ferrule?

A

2mm

123
Q

True or False:
The wider the post diameter, the more retention it will have.

A

False

124
Q

True or False:
Post retained crowns have the poorest performance as bridge abutments.

A

True

125
Q

True or False:
Roots that are broader buccolingually are more retentive than those with round cross section.

A

True

126
Q

True or False:
In cases with gingival recession, the increased clinical crowns length would provide extra retention and support to the bridge.

A

False

127
Q

True or False:
Shorter roots of teeth with wider surface area provide the same strength and stability to smaller teeth with long roots.

A

False

128
Q

True or False:
Porcelain material has low tensile strength and high toughness when compared to other ceramics.

A

False

129
Q

True or False:
Base metal alloys are the best materials used in the fabrication of bridge substructure.

A

True

130
Q

How would you overcome the weakness of porcelain materials?

A

Build over the metal or strong ceramic core.

131
Q

In relation to dental porcelain, which of the following is true?
a. can fail as a result of micro cracks
b. increasing the porcelain thickness will provide the required support to retain a crown for a short clinical crown
c. are stronger under tensile loading and weaker under compressive loading
d. can be finished in thin sections
e. have weaker outer than inner surfaces

A

a - can fail as a result of micro cracks

132
Q

What is the brand name of custom-made chairside bisacryl provisional restoration material?

A

integrity

133
Q

What is the purpose of immediate dentine sealing?

A

Applying the agent to freshly cut dentine after crown prep reduces the risk of loss of vitality as dentine tubules are sealed.

134
Q

At what angle is the functional cusp bevel placed at to the prep?

A

45º

135
Q

What is the minimum crown height required for an ACC?

A

4mm

136
Q

IPS e.max is a brand name for which material?

A

lithium disilicate

137
Q

When preparing a veneer, the chamfer is taken up to the contact points but they aren’t broken.
What is this margin known as?

A

gingival elbow

138
Q

What are no prep veneers known as?

A

lumineers

139
Q

For fixed-fixed bridges, occlusal forces are applied more to which retainer?

A

distal

140
Q

Which pontic design requires surgical preparation?

A

ovate

141
Q

After the successful try in of an MCC and disinfecting in pro form for 10 mins, what should be done prior to cementation?

A

send to lab for sandblasting of intaglio

142
Q

After successful try in of porcelain restoration and disinfection, what should be done prior to cementation?

A
  1. send to lab to be etched with 5% hydrofluoric acid for 8 mins
  2. silane coupling agent applied to intaglio on clinic
143
Q

After successful try in of LiDi restoration and disinfection, what should be done prior to cementation?

A
  1. etch with 5% hydrofluoric acid for 20 seconds
  2. silane coupling agent applied to intaglio
144
Q

Which type of occlusion may not require prep for an RBB?

A

class II div I

145
Q

Which type of metal is used for RBB framework?

A

cobalt chrome

146
Q

What reduces the fracture propagation of porcelain?

A

glaze

147
Q

What is the best option for a pt with missing laterals and which tooth would be the best abutment?

A

RBB - use the 3 as an abutment.

148
Q

Why is occlusal reduction important during crown preparation?

A

To create sufficient space for the crown material without interfering with occlusion.

149
Q

Why is a non-rigid connector used in long-span bridges?

A

To prevent stress on abutments caused by differential tooth movement.
