Q

What are indications for inlays? (5)

78
Q

What is the veneer preparation type dictated by?

A
  • Dictated by the patients occlusion
  • Don’t want patient to be biting on the edge of the margin as it will just fracture
  • Also need to bear in mind aesthetics - some patients might have a stained incisal edge so need to overlap this
79
Q

What is the name of the technique for minimal preparation for veneers?

A
  • Gurel technique
80
Q

Explain the Gurel technique?

A
  • Impression has been taken and wax up done
  • Then a putty index was taken
  • The space between the teeth and the putty index tells you how much porcelain you are going to put and how much tooth prep you need
  • Then take the index and fill the spaces up - put it in the patients mouth and once it sets it gives a mock up of the veneers in the patients mouth
  • Then prepare ideal tooth prep through the mock up - will preserve tooth tissue in areas you don’t need to cut
81
Q

A
  • May not need temporary
  • Make temporary restoration (if need it)
  • Take impressions and occlusal records (send to lab for restoration fabrication - 2 weeks)
