Q

Area of crown this is most often too thin:

A

occlusal surface

124
Q

How does the density of the alloy affect the amt of the alloy required for a crown?

improper melting temp, pattern position or sprue location or thickness

126
Q

How is metal bonded to ceramic in PFM?

A

intermediate oxide layer

127
Q

We could start to make PFM restos when:

Q

What would happen if metal and procelain didn’t have similar coefficients of thermal expansion?

A

one would crack

129
Q

Disadvantages to PFM compared to CCC:

A

remove more tooth structure, risk of porcelain fracture

130
Q

These help determine the risk of porcelain fracture:

A

design of framework, how the porcelain was applied

131
Q

Advantages and disadvantages of PFM vs. al ceramic:

all ceramic (check, why? less conservative than PFM)

133
Q

Alloy:

138
Q

Platinum:

A

increases melt temp, increases tensile strength, decreases CTH, reduces tarnish and corrosion

139

Crown type for short crownx

A

Zirconia, requires low reduction for posterior teeth, similar to CCC reduction

169
Q

Can angulation of a tilted tooth be corrected with direct restorations?

A

no

170
Q

Greater occlusal reduction leads to decreased:

A

retentive and resistance forms

171
Q

Conctraindications for CCC:

A

active caries, untreated pd, more conservative resto will suffice (intact B or L walls, less need for retention or resistance form), anterior teeth (esthetics)

172
Q

Advantages of CCC:

A

longevity, greater resistnace and retention forms than more conservative restos, stronger, adaptable to proper contours, better control of the occlusion - modifications compared to more conservative restorations, more conservative prep than other crown preps

173
Q

Finish line design or CCC:

A

feather edge

174
Q

Crown type to use when you need good adaptation to a furcation area:

A

CCC

175
Q

Crown type for pts with larger pulp:

A

CCC, less preparation

176
Q

Disadvantages to CCC:

A

more tooth removeal than more conservative preps, inflammation of gingiva, can’t do pulp testing bc of the conductivity of the alloy, allergy to base metals, esthetics

177
Q

How is pulp testing altered with a CCC?

A

amplified, unreliable response

178
Q

Only do CCC’s on these teeth:

A

Max 2nd molar, man molars and premolars

179
Q

More esthetic, all ceramic or metal ceramic?

A

all ceramic

180
Q

Better marginal fit, all ceramic or metal ceramic:

A

metal ceramic

181
Q

more durable, metal ceramic or all ceramic:

A

metal ceramic

182
Q

Indications for metal ceramic crown:

A

same as CCC

183
Q

Contraindication for metal ceramic restoration:

A

active caries, untreated pd, young pts with large pulp chamber, when you can be more conservative

184
Q

more durable, all ceramic FPD or metal ceramic FPD?

A

metal ceramic, connectors can also be soldered or cast

185
Q

Crown type to use for survey crowns:

A

metal ceramic, not all ceramic
