44
Q

Advantages of Full Metal Crowns

1) coverage? allows for?
2) allows for change?
3) range of application?

A

Advantages of Full Metal Crowns
1) Complete coverage affords greatest retention and
resistance form
2) Allows for the greatest change in esthetic tooth form
and occlusion
3) Makes it successful in a wide range of situations such as
tooth form or alignment is not ideal and therefore a less
than perfect tooth preparation will be a likely result

45
Q

Disadvantages of Full Metal Crowns

1) esthetic?
2) prep requires?
3) subgingival finish lines?

A

Disadvantages of Full Metal Crowns
1) Complete metal crowns are not esthetic to many people
and therefore they are often limited to non-visible areas
of the mouth
2) They require more extensive tooth preparation than
partial coverage crowns
3) If the finish line is subgingival around the entire tooth, it
is more likely there will be a less than optimal gingival
response

46
Q

what finish line is recomended for all metal crowns and why

A

• Chamfer finish lines are recommended for all –metal crowns because they are easy to form, adequately distinct on the tooth and die, and provides sufficient space that the metal is adequately rigid. A depth of 0.3 – 0.5 mm is recommended

47
Q

slope of chamfer line

A

continuous in cervical direction

48
Q

how to form the chamfer

A

They are formed by using a diamond

instrument with a rounded tip and a diameter of 0.6 – 0.8 mm

49
Q

REDUCTION FOR OCCLUSAL CLEARANCE

A

• Occlusal depth grooves are prepared to a uniform depth of 1.0 – 1.5 mm using a coarse grit diamond. They should follow the pathways and depths of the developmental grooves.

• A depth groove prepared along the entire mesiodistal length of the central developmental groove is very helpful in achieving adequate reduction in an area that is commonly under-reduced.

50
Q

why are rounded line angles so important for casting

A

• Line angles are rounded to facilitate pouring impressions without trapping
air bubbles and investing wax patterns without air inclusions.
• Additionally, should nodules occur in the casting, they are easier to remove when the line angles have been rounded.

51
Q

Final Finished Surface Of The

Preparation

A

• The prepared surfaces and finish line are smoothed using a fine grit diamond that is the same size as the coarse grit diamond used for the initial reduction

52
Q

76
Q

• Incisal reduction should not exceed ___mm.

A

• Incisal reduction should not exceed 3mm.

77
Q

Short preparations cause considerable _______ and may lead to _________

A

Short preparations cause considerable stress and may lead to fracture.
• When a load is applied from a lingual direction, the facial shoulder is placed under compression and only the incisal-lingual length of the preparation provides significant resistance to this force.

78
Q

Effect of Taper on Strength
• Excessive porcelain bulk?
• what gives strength to crown?

A

Effect of Taper on Strength
• Excessive porcelain bulk decreases strength.
• It is not the bulk of porcelain that gives strength to the crown, but the resistance to flexure provided by support from the tooth preparation and
accuracy of fit.

79
Q

shoulder support at margin for ceramics
cause?
what provides support?
excessive slope finish lines?

A

• Occlusal loading → tensile/shear stress → fracture
• 90o shoulder helps provide support for porcelain
• Heavy Chamfer adequate with resin bonded cementation
• Excessively sloped finish line or bevel creates thin unsupported margin of
porcelain –prone to fracture

80
Q

All-Ceramic Margin Designs

A

• A rounded internal angle on the modified shoulder
decreases stress at the axiogingival line angle.
• A heavy chamfer is relatively simple to form.
• Supragingival(subgingival difficult to avoid “lip”)
• Enamel/ resin bonding

81
