Inlays, Onlays and Veneers Flashcards
Indirect Restorations
Restorations fabricated outside the mouth by a technician in a laboratory
Examples: • Crowns • Post and cores • Bridgework • Inlays and Onlays • Veneers
direct restorations
made by operator chairside
Pre operative assessment for indirect restorations
Full history and exam - CO - HPC - PMH - PDH - FM - SH - EO - IO Oral hygiene Caries, fractures - Restorable? Periodontal condition
special investigations for indirect restorations
Radiographs
- Caries
- Periodontal condition
- Peri-radicular/Peri-apical lesions
- Previous RCT- Quality
Sensibility testing
- Ethyl chloride
- Electric pulp test (EPT)
Mounted study models
- Semi- or fully adjustable articulator
Diagnostic wax-up
- Aesthetics
- Occlusion – both static and dynamic when pt absent
- Communication with patient and lab- patients can make educated decision- Show lab what you and/or patient want.
- Achievability
indirect restorations conventional clinical stages (4)
- Preparation
- Temporisation
- Impressions and occlusal records
- Cementation
chair-side indirect restorations use
CAD-CAM computer aided design , computer aided manufacture
Restorations milled from block of ceramic
- Quick - just one visit for pt
- No conventional impression or temporary needed
???Questions over accuracy???
inlays
Intra-coronal restorations made in lab – fillings made outside the mouth
types of inlays (5)
Composite
Gold
Ceramic
Porcelain
Ceromeric – porcelain and ceramic combination
uses of inlays (4)
Occlusal cavities
Occlusal/interproximal cavities
Replace failed direct restorations
Minor bridge retainers
- not advised now
indications for inlays (5)
Premolars or molars
occlusal
mesio-occlusal or disto-occlusal restoration
MOD restoration
- If kept narrow
- If not – consider onlay
cusps would be thin, create a wedge and cause cusps to fracture off
Low caries rate
MOD restoration when to use inlay Vs onlay
- If kept narrow
- If not – consider onlay
cusps would be thin, create a wedge and cause cusps to fracture off
advantages of inlays (2)
Superior materials and margins
Won’t deteriorate over time
disadvantages of inlays (2)
time
cost
inlay preparation - tools/armamentarium
Handpiece
Burs - No. 170L - No. 169L - Coarse-grit flame diamond - Flame (H4BL-010) - Ready made bur kits chamfer or shoulder burs mainly
Fine tuning
- enamel hatchets
- Binangle chisel
- Gingival margin trimmers
inlay
pulpal floor
flat
even depth (approx. 1.5 mm)
inlay
isthmus
sufficient width for materials
inlay
Undercuts?
none
- need to be blocked out if they exist
inlay
taper?
slight taper
Slide in and seat with retention
- Improve path of insertion - Go in one way and out one way
Not over tapered – reduce retention
inlay
line angles
Rounded line angles – can fracture if sharp cliff edge
inlay preparation for ceramic/composite
Isthmus: 1.5 - 2mm 1.5 mm depth proximal box: 1.5-2mm 1mm (min) shoulder or chamfer margin - SHOULDER FOR CERAMIC
Margins clear of occlusal contact points
Flat pulpal floor
Even-depth
Perpendicular to path of insertion
4-6 degree Tapered walls
- No undercuts
No bevels at occlusal aspect
- (thin porcelain -> fracture)
Butt-joint cavosurface margins
- Brittle in thin section so don’t want to break
Clear of adjacent tooth contact points
(Supra-gingival) Shoulder or chamfer margin
inlay preparation for composite/ceramic measurements
Isthmus: 1.5 - 2mm 1.5 mm depth proximal box: 1.5-2mm 1mm (min) shoulder or chamfer margin - SHOULDER FOR CERAMIC
inlay preparation for gold
Isthmus: 1mm
1.5mm depth
1mm proximal box (min)
0.5 mm chamfer margin
Margins clear of occlusal contact points
Flat pulpal floor
- Even-depth
- Perpendicular to path of insertion
4-6 degree Tapered walls
- No undercuts
15-20 degree bevel upper 1/3 of isthmus wall
- Stronger in thin section
- Nicer fit
Clear of adjacent tooth contact points
- buccal-lingual
- apical depth
Occlusal key/Dovetail
(Supra-gingival) Shoulder or chamfer margins
- chamfer
If proximal box required – keep margins clear of adjacent tooth contact points
Consider internal accessory retention features (e.g. grooves)
inlay preparation gold measurements
Isthmus: 1mm
1.5mm depth
1mm proximal box (min)
0.5 mm chamfer margin
bevel
for gold inlay
15-20 degree bevel upper 1/3 of isthmus wall
- Stronger in thin section
- Nicer fit
tapered walls
for gold and ceramic/composite inlay
4-6 degree Tapered walls
- No undercuts
inlays - temporisation and impression
Make temporary restoration
Impressions and occlusal records
- Send to lab for restoration fabrication
- 2 weeks
Fit temporary restoration
alternative to inlays
Direct temporary materials
Kalzinol
- not recommended – decrease dentine bonding to resin based cements)
Clip
GI
- May overly bond – need to cut back out thus modifying preparation that impression is off
communication with lab for inlay
Lab prescription - Pour impressions – state stone - Mount casts - Articulator – state type Occlusal record – e.g. JetBite, waxbite Facebow
Construct restoration - Tooth (FDI notation) - Material - Thickness - Characteristics fissure patterns, staining, disguise tooth as another tooth e.g. An E as a 5, white spots, wear facelts -Shade
inlay cementation for ceramic inlays
Weak when not cemented
- Don’t check occlusion as May fracture
Adhesive systems
- NX3 (Nexus)
- ABC
- RelyX Unicem self adhesive resin cement- Self etching, self priming resin based adhesive system
Place matrix strips interproximally or PTFE tape over adjacent teeth
