Q

What should good interim restoration provide?

A
Structural integrity 
Coronal seal
Allow ideal access cavity cut
No risk leakage 
Allows rubber dam to be placed

Q

What to provide after endo when removed crown?

A

Provide provisional temporary
Consider using zinc phosphate > temp bond
Consider seal tubules w/ dentine bonding agent

17
Q

Requirements of temporary restoration?

A

Occupy access cavity - provide effective and durable coronal seal

18
Q

Desirable property of temporary restoration?

A

Ease removal
Difference tooth tissue and restoration
Inexpensive

19
Q

Examples of temporary materials can be used in access cavity?

A
Zinc-oxide based - IRM
GIC
RMGIC 
Composite
Zinc oxide/ calcium sulphate - Cavit
20
Q

What depth should temp restoration be?

A

3mm - provide adequate seal

21
Q

Why should cotton wool not be used?

A

Wick saliva and bacteria through and under restoration

Use foam pellets

22
Q

Issue cavit/ coltisol?

A

Soft material used for double seal

Provide excellent seal but harder remove

23
Q

How restore tooth following completion endo?

A

Cut GP to ADJ
Place GIC access - leave 3mm coronally
Restore coronal w/ amalgam/composite

24
Q

Why do posterior teeth require protection when undertaking endo?

A

Reduced tooth structure/ loss marginal ridge = access cavity

Axial force - flex cusps / fracture cusps

25
Q

When is a tooth most vulnerable?

A

Access + loss both marginal ridge w/ buccal/palatal restoration

26
Q

How protect posterior tooth in interim?

A

Occlusal adjustment to reduce loading
Cusp reduction w/ overlay
Cement ortho bend
Interim crown - metal/composite

27
Q

How to protect posterior tooth following endo?

A

Cusp reduction and overlay
Onlay
Full crown

28
Q

How to provide occlusal adjustment?

A

Articulation paper - mark ICP contact
Different colour - mark lateral excursion
Adjust - remove lateral contacts and keep ICP contacts

29
Q

How to provide cusp reduction?

A

Reduce 2-3mm
Build w/ composite/amalgam
Restore ICP contact

30
Q

Adv onlay?

A

Strong, indirect option while conserving tissue compared full crown

31
Q

Adv full crown?

A

Provide full coverage and hence better seal - at expense tooth reduction

32
Q

Issue crown of endo teeth?

A

Thin dentine walls remain - due access and full coverage prep

33
Q

Difference of root treated teeth w/ and w/o indirect restoration?

A

Teeth w/o indirect 6x more likely to fail
