Q

Interim Restorations
*Definition:

A

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.

A

*Adequate thickness for strength
*Withstand forces without breaking or dislodgement
*Adequate tooth reduction is necessary

17
Q

*Connectors / pontic thickness

A

*Connectors / pontic contours ↑ w/o gingival impingement

18
Q

Maintain phonetics through:

A

Maintain phonetics through:
*Proper tooth length, position, contours

19
Q

interim fabrication using mold

A

While in a fluid state, the mixed
resin fills the cavity formed by a
mold, and then solidifies producing a rigid restoration.

20
Q

Custom Interim – Direct Technique

A
21
Q

Types of Interim Restorations and techniques of fabrication?

A

ØExternal Surface Form
*Pre-fabricated (preformed) crowns: Single crowns only
*Custom-fabricated molds: Single or multiple unit restorations

ØTechnique of fabrication
*“Direct on tooth” versus “Indirect on cast”

22
Q

ØPre-fabricated Crown Forms
1) Limited to?
2) Must be lined with?
3) Considerable modification?l
4) Can manipulate resin to prevent?
5) when to use?

A

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.

23
Q

ØCustom molded crown or FPD forms:
1)time consuming?
2) Must be used for?
3) Improved?
4) Simulates?

A

ØCustom molded crown or FPD forms:
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).

24
Q

ØDirect Technique

A

ØDirect Technique
*Made intra-orally directly on patient

25
Q

ØIndirect Technique

A

ØIndirect Technique
*Made in laboratory on a cast of the prepared teeth

26
Q

Direct vs. Indirect Technique
advantages of each

A

Direct vs. Indirect Technique
ØDirect Technique:
1) Convenience
2) Time required for fabrication– routine restorations
ØIndirect Technique:
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

27
Q

The finish and polish must contribute to? how is this done?

A

patient comfort and physiologic tissue health:
*Tissue stabilization for esthetics
*Final impression
*Cementation of final restoration

29
Q

Free Radical Polymerization

ØUnreacted free monomer is?
ØInadequate polymerization results?
ØPolymerization reaction is thermal? shrinkage?

A

Free Radical Polymerization
ØThe chemical conversion of monomer to a biologically inert polymer
by chain reaction.
ØUnreacted free monomer is toxic (esp. MMA)
ØInadequate polymerization results in poor mechanical properties.
ØPolymerization reaction is exothermic, and there is shrinkage upon
polymerization and cooling.

30
Q

Free Radical Polymerization process

A

ØInitiation
*Activation: formation of a free radical by decomposition of an
initiator (due to “activator”)
*Benzoyl peroxide + 3o amine / heat (MMA)
*Camphoroquinone + blue light-490nm (VLC composite)
*Free radical combines with monomer
ØPropagation (growth)
*Process of adding molecules in growing chain
ØTermination
*Growing chains randomly combine; stop growing
*Polymerization is completed

31
Q

propogation

A

process of adding molecules in the growing chain
*Physical properties of rigidity and strength develop
*Setting material ↑density and
exothermia, causing polymerization contraction.
*↑ Temperature during propagation promotes: greater polymerization and removal of unconverted monomer

32
Q

ØTermination

A

ØTermination
*Growing chains randomly combine
*Material becomes rigid – able to finish / polish
(≈5 minutes)
*Desirable to convert all free monomer to polymer before termination
*(Does not COMPLETELY happen)
*Inhibition: Reaction with eugenol, oxygen,
hydroquinone will cause termination.

33
Q

ØProperties associated with MONOMER:
irritation?
*Physical properties of?
*heat/shrink?
*Strength of?
*As MW (size) of monomer ↑:
*Composites: UDMA can affect?

A

*Chemical / allergic irritation
*Physical properties of set material
*Exothermic heat of reaction & volumetric shrinkage
*Strength of mass
*As MW (size) of monomer ↑: exothermia, shrinkage, and strength ↓
*Composites: UDMA can affect resilience, toughness to counteract brittleness

34
Q

ØProperties associated with POLYMER (Powder):
*Increase in filler content →?
*Too much filler →?
*Composites: size / shape of particles affects?

A

*Increase in filler content →Greater strength/ Less exothermia and less shrinkage
*Too much filler → poor handling
*Composites: size / shape of particles affects density, strength, surface finish

35
Q

removal of excess provisional cement

A

Remove set cement with perio explorer or scaler, and then knotted floss.
