18
Q

What are inlays and what are the different materials?

A

Extra-coronal restorations made in lab Like inlays but with cuspal coverage
Height of cusps need to be reduced during preparation

19
Q

What are indications of onlays?

A

◦ Sufficient occlusal tooth substance loss
◦ Buccal and/or palatal/lingual cusps remaining
◦ Remaining tooth substance weakened
◦ Caries
◦ pre-existing large restoration
◦ MODs with wide isthmuses

20
Q

When are cast metal inlays/onlays preferred to amalgam?

A

◦ Higher strength needed
◦ Significant tooth recontouring required

21
Q

What are the uses of onlays?

A

◦ Tooth wear cases
◦ Increase OVD
◦ Fractured cusps
◦ Restoration of root treated teeth
◦ Replace failed direct restorations
◦ Minor bridge retainers (not recommended)

(less destructive than crowns)

22
Q

What is the onlay prep for porcelain?

working/ non cusp reduction, margin , csam

A

  • Working cusp – 2mm reduction
  • 1mm shoulder or chamfer
23
Q

What is the onlay prep for gold?

working/ non cusp reduction, margin , csam

A
  • Non working cusp – 0.5mm reduction
  • Working cusp – 1mm reduction
    1. 5mm chamfer
  • 15-20o bevel upper 1/3 of isthmus wall

Q

What are veneers (PLV) and what are the types?

A laminate veneer is a thin layer of cast ceramic that is bonded to the labial or palatal surface of a tooth with resin.

Types

improve aesthetics
change teeth shape and contour
correct peg-shape laterals
reduce/ close proximal spaces and diastemas
align labial surfaces of instanding teeth

minimial prep for veneers using pro-temp mockup

temporary veneers to assess the desired aesthetic outcome before any permanent preparation. This helps minimize unnecessary tooth reduction.
