Q

What is retention

A

Retention prevent the removal of the restoration along the path of insertion or long axis of the tooth preparation

Q

What is resistance

A

Resistance prevents dislodgement of the restoration by forces directed in an apical or oblique direction and prevents any movement of the restoration under occlusal forces

Q

What is the definition of a taper in crown tooth preps

Q

What is the convergence angle in crown tooth preps

A

Convergence angle is the angle between 2 opposing axial walls of a preparation and equals the sum of the taper of 2 opposing axial walls.

15
Q

Why do we record the ICP

A

As we conform to the patient’s occlusion to ensure the restoration harmonises with the existing occlusal scheme and doesnt make occlusal interferences

Q

What is the centric relation (RCP)

A

A bilateral, unstrained position of the mandible in which the condylar disc assembly is in the most superior anterior position in the glenoid fossa and the initial 20 mm of incised opening is a pure hinge axis

17
Q

Name a couple materials that are used for jaw (bite?) registration

A
  • Beauty wax

- Polyvinylsiloxane bite registration paste

18
Q

Name some aspects of a good impression

A
  • All preparation margins should be clearly visible and well defined
  • No drags or air bubbles on the prep margins, axial walls, in slots, grooves or boxes
  • Adequate impression of the entire arch to ensure the occlusion and shape of the other teeth are recorded
  • Lack of air bubbles on occlusal surfaces of other teeth
19
Q

Describe the 2 phase/single stage impression technique

A
  • 2 materials of different viscosity are used to make 1 impression
  • Light bodied material is syringed around the tooth prep to record fine detail
  • Heavy bodied is loaded into the tray to take up the bulk of the space between the prep and the tray
20
Q

Describe the 2 phase/2 stage impression technique

A
  • Before tooth prep, take a heavy bodied impression of the arch
  • After tooth prep, syringe light bodied material around the prepped tooth and the inside of the tooth concerned in the original impression
  • Then re-seat the impression and wait for the light bodied silicone to set
21
Q

What are the 3 attributes of colour

A
  • Hue
  • Value
  • Chroma
22
Q

Name some of the elements that affect colour

A
  • Lighting conditions
  • Value and hue contrast effect
  • Metamerism
  • Opalescence
  • Fluorescence
  • Natural tooth colour
  • Surface texture
  • Special characteristics
23
Q

What is the hue of a colour

A
  • This distinguishes one colour family from another and is the wavelength of light reflected by the tooth
24
Q

What is the value of a colour

A
  • This is an achromatic measure of the lightness or darkness of a colour
25
Q

What does a high and low value of a colour indicate about the colour

A

High value = lighter shade

Low value = dark shade

26
Q

What is the chroma of a colour

A
  • This is the degree of strength or saturation of a colour

- basically the intensity or vividness of a colour

27
Q

What attribute of colour is the Vita (Lumin) shade guide based on

A

Hue

28
Q

What are the different classes of shade in the vita (lumin) guide

A 
A = reddish-brown
B = Orange-yellow
C = Greenish-grey
D = Reddish grey
29
Q

What are the reasons for the failure of temp crowns

A
  • Not enough tooth reduction
  • Patient is a bruxist
  • Crown prep isn’t retentive
  • Inadequate moisture control on cementation stage
