Q

What is the relationship between configuration fact and stress on the tooth?

A

As the configuration factor increases so does the stress on the tooth and leads to increased risk of polymerisation shrinkage

Q

What problems can arise when using inlays?

A
  1. They require a taper which can create a wedging effect wearing the cusps
  2. Don’t cover the cusps so can’t provide cuspal protection

Q

Why do inlays need to be tapered?

A

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

Q

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

Risk of it having wedging affect so there might be forces directing downwards which can put stress and strain on the cusps (or even fracturing)

A

A primer can be added onto the fit surface

70
Q

What can be added to ceramic onlays to help improve the bonding?

A

A silane coupler can be added onto the fit surface

71
Q

While the onlay or inlay is being prepared what do we need to do to the prepared tooth

A

Mechanical retention
Would see cements like:
