Q

What is the relationship between configuration factor and stress on the tooth

A

As the configuration fact increase so does the stress on the tooth increasing risk of polymerisation shrinkage

Q

What problems can arise when using inlays

A
  1. They require taper which can create a weeding effect wearing the cusps
  2. They down cover the cusps so can’t provide cuspal coverage

Q

Why do inlays need to be tapered

A

As they are placed into the tooth so they need to be able to sit there properly

Q

What is the tissue with an inlay needing to have a taper

A

Risk of having a wedging effect which will direct forces downward putting stress on the cusps leading to fracture

23
Q

What is an onlay

A

A restoration constructed in the lap and cemented into a tooth that may contain an intra coronal aspect but also covers one or more cusps

24
Q

Give some indications for onlays

A
  1. Teeth with larger restorations but sound buccal and lingual walls needing cuspal protection
    2, Low caries risk
  2. Weakened cusps
  3. Over 1/2 buccal lingual width
  4. Parafunciton
  5. Excessive cusp wear
  6. Group function
25
Q

Give examples of teeth that may need large restoration but have sound buccal and lingual walls that need cuspal protection

A
  1. Endodontically treated teeth
  2. Wider MODs
  3. MODs in premolars
26
Q

What materials can inlays and onlays be made up of

A
  1. Gold
  2. Ceramic
  3. Composite
27
Q

What is the survival rate for a ceramic inlay?

A

80% for 8 years

28
Q

List some factors that govern the choice of material we use to make our inlay or onlay

A
  1. Preservation of tooth tissue
  2. Retention and resistance form
  3. Structural durability of restoration
  4. Marginal integrity and position
  5. Biological consideration
  6. Aesthetics
29
Q

Which Material is best to use if we want to preserve tooth tissue

A

Gold or full coverage crown is best

30
Q

Which Materia requires the most tooth preparation

A

porcelain

31
Q

Which Materia offers the best aesthetic finish

A

Ceramic or composite

32
Q

List some general preparation guidelines

A
  1. No undercuts
  2. Limited paths of insertion
  3. Resistance to occlusal forces
33
Q

How is retention achieved for inlays and onlays to sit in the cavity

A

As a result of friction between opposing intra coronal walls (this means the walls need to diverge)

34
Q

How can we remove undercuts from our cavity prep

A
  1. Make the cavity bigger (not preferred)
  2. We can restore the intra coronal aspect with composite and block out the undercuts created naturally when prepping
35
Q

How much taper do we want to create when creating a cavity for a gold onlay

A

6 degree taper

36
Q

State the idea marginal width we want to achieve when creating a cavity for gold onlays

A

chamfer of 0.5mm

37
Q

How much occlusal reduction do we need to do for a gold onlay?

A

1mm occlusal
1.5mm functional cusp bevel

38
Q

Talk through the preparation requirements needed for a gold onlay

A

Taper: 6degree
Marginal chamfer of 0.5mm
1mm occlusal reduction
1.5mm functional cusp bevel

39
Q

State the minimum width space requirement for a porcelain inlay/ onlay

A
