Hot Topics Op 4 Final Flashcards
Where is the location of the contact between the from the facial view central incisors?
-junction of incisal and middle third
From the incisal edge view, where is the contact between the central incisors?
essentially in line with the incisal edge
The embrasures generally follow what type of contour?
biological contour
line angles
Width of contact inciso-gingivally
1-1.5mm
Main etiology of Class IV
Fracture (sports)
Rampant caries
Fatigue
Congenital- osteogenesis/dentinogenesis imperfecta
Why is composite the ideal restorative material for class IV restorations?
- better sealing on enamel margins
- better shade matching
- smooth and polished restorative material = great esthetics
Type of burs to use for Class IV restorations
flame/small diamond
Bevel for cavosurface margin
45 degrees
width of bevel 0.5-2mm depending on missing tooth structure
Additional retentive features for class IV restorations
Bevels and chamfers
Occlusal considerations for class IV restorations
try to keep end margins out of direct contact areas
keep protrusive and incisal forces to a minimum
look at existing state of teeth- wear facets and functional habits
Best way to hide margins
Vertical and horizontal finish lines rather than oblique
Etching the tooth for class IV restorations process
- etch for 20 sec
- rinse for 10 sec
- bond and light cure for 20 sec from lingual and facial surface
Inherently thin
Cannot be bonded like conventional temporaries
Trimming
Lack of retention form
Common challenges of provisionalization for veneers
Veneer provisional technique
Prep Impression Diagnostic wax up ESF Spot etch- 35-37% phosphoric acid Rinse and dry NO ADHESIVE Load ESF with Bis-acryl resin and press on prepped teeth
Strength of multi-unit provisional veneers
- collective strength and bond to etched points on teeth
- NOT USED FOR FUNCTION
Veneer cementation procedure for definitive restorations
- remove provisional material remaining on the etched portions of the teeth
- Clean teeth- pumice slurry
- rinse and dry
- isolation- lip retraction or cotton rolls
- retraction cord packing
- evaluation
- application of silane
- etch- 20 sec, rinse and dry, bond, cure, cement, eval margins, light cure
This process helps to prevent contamination during try in/cementation
retraction cord
This acts as a coupling agent to form a chemical bond to increase bond strength and is applied to intaglio of veneer
silane coupling agent
What is the primary source of retention with a porcelain veneer?
-mechanical
What should you use to remove marginal excess from veneer cementation process?
- # 12 blade
- fine flame diamond- carefully recontour and dress gingival margins if excess cement
What instrumentation is used to finish the lingual margins of the veneer?
-oval-shaped fine diamond
How to remove striations from diamonds?
-rounded end/bullet-shaped, 30-fluted carbide finishing bur
Polishing burs for veneers
- abrasive rubber
- porcelain polishing cups and points
What kind of cement used for veneers?
- resin cement (light cure due to thinness of restoration)
- light cured for thin
- dual cure for thick
Recommendations for light cured resin cement
- longer working time
- thinner ceramics
Recommendations for dual cured resin cement
-thicker ceramic restorations (crowns, inlays, onlays with limited light penetration)
Which veneers can be repaired?
porcelain
composite veneers
Process of repairing veneers
- roughen damaged margins with fine diamond
- bevel or chamfer the veneer edges
- chairside microetching (sandblasting) can also be effective
- etch with HF acid if repairing ceramics and rinse
- adhesive for composites
- silane for porcelain margins
