Interim Restorations Flashcards
What are the 6 uses of interim restorations?
ØEsthetics ØFunction ØPrevent Sensitivity ØDrifting ØTissue Health ØDiagnostics
- A prosthesis designed to enhance esthetics, stabilization and/or function for a limited period of time after which it is to be replaced by a definitive prosthesis.
- Used to assist in determination of the therapeutic effectiveness of a specific treatment plan or the form and function of the planned definitive prosthesis.
- Essential to Fixed Prosthodontic treatment since restorations are fabricated indirectly in the laboratory.
Interim restoration
What are the 7 biomechanical requirements of interim restorations?
- Pulpal protection
- Positional stability
- Occlusal function
- Cleansability
- Marginal integrity
- Strength and retention
- Esthetics / Phonetics
T/F: A provisional will prevent lateral drifting of the prepared and/or adjacent teeth
True
Do you want a convex or concave emergence profile on the margin of interim restorations?
Concave
While in a ______ state, the mixed resin fills the cavity formed by a mold, and then solidifies producing a rigid restoration.
fluid
ØCustom direct interim crown is removed from the matrix, and then shaped and polished.
Direct Technique
_____ mold: one part forms external contour of crown or FPD; the other forms the internal or tooth / tissue-contacting surface.
•Two-part mold
\_\_\_\_\_\_ form •Pre-fabricated (preformed) crowns •Single crowns only •Custom-fabricated molds •Single or multiple unit restorations
External surface form
\_\_\_\_\_\_ crown forms •Aluminum or tin-silver •Nickel-chrome or stainless steel •Polycarbonate shells •Cellulose acetate shells •VLC moldable composite crowns
ØPrefabricated crown forms
_______ Crown Forms
1) Limited to single units
2) Must be lined with auto polymerizing resin
3) Considerable modification (internal relief, axial recontouring, occlusal adjustment) may be required
4) Can manipulate resin to prevent “locking in”
5) First-visit emergency when crown is missing.
Pre-fabricated crown forms
_____ molded crown
1) Less time consuming
2) Must be used for multiple units (FPD)
3) Improved contours and esthetics
4) Simulates planned restoration (when used in combination with diagnostic waxing).
Custom molded crown
______ technique
•Made intra-orally directly on patient
1)Convenience
2)Time required for fabrication –routine restorations
Direct Technique
______ technique
•Made in laboratory on a cast of the prepared teeth
1)Patient comfort / allergies
2)Presence of multiple undercuts
3)Long span FPD or multiple units
4)Indirect Provisionals can be fabricated in advance of the tooth preparation appointment; use of auxiliaries
Indirect Technique
______ crown :
•Vacuum-formed matrix
•Silicone putty matrix
•Alginate or VPS impression
