A

1) Cavosurface angles should be at a 90° or parallel to the enamel rods.
2) Designed so the dentinal tooth structure supports the restoration.
3) Preparation should be complete, but conservative in nature.
4) Consider retention based on restoration material. Only amalgam needs to incorporate retentive features
5) Protect the pulp - pulp capping or liner if indicated
6) where resto likely to be stressed, sufficient bulk for strength will be necessary.

70
Q

According to Wiggs Chapter 17 (Restorative Dentistry),

In which class of cavity preparations should the cavosurface margin be bevelled and why?

A

For class III, IV, V, VI

Will increase the surface area of enamel for bonding and also give a gradual change of composite to enamel

71
Q

According to Wiggs Chapter 17 (Restorative Dentistry),

In which class of cavity preparations should the cavosurface margin NOT be bevelled and why (3)?

A

Class I and Class II.

not beneficial because the rods are already exposed.

Also if on occlusal surface, enamel is more wear resistant than restorative material

also bevel gives very thin edge of restoration which is prone to fracture on occlusal surface

72
Q

According to Wiggs Chapter 17 (Restorative Dentistry),

Which class of preparations are bes managed with cast or milled restorations as opposed to direct restorations?

A

Class IV and VI - involve an occlusal edge

73
Q

According to Wiggs Chapter 17 (Restorative Dentistry),

in Class V lesions, when would bevelling of enamel not be recommended?

A

when the margin is on cementum. bevelling only gives a benefit when it is on enamel.

74
Q

According to Wiggs Chapter 17 (Restorative Dentistry),

What considerations must be taken in placing GIC restorations?

A

Very sensitive to moisture

75
Q

Dissolves the GIC and washes it out of the prep

76
Q

According to Wiggs Chapter 17 (Restorative Dentistry),

What happens to GIC restorations when contaminated with moisture during setting?

A

cloudy spots at the points of contamination, which is due to crazing or microcracks in the restoration

77

iridium,

osmium

84
Q

Silver

Corrodes in the oral cavity

85
Q

According to Wiggs Chapter 18 (Crowns and prosthodontics),

What is a high fusing metal and why is it used for a PFM (porcelain fused to metal) restoration?

A

Alloy which has a very high melting temperature.

Used because it will not melt or creep during repeated heating process needed to fuse the porcelain

86
Q

According to Wiggs Chapter 18 (Crowns and prosthodontics),

What is a high noble alloy?

A

Noble metal content ≥60% (gold + platinum
group) and gold ≥40%

87
Q

According to Wiggs Chapter 18 (Crowns and prosthodontics),

What defines titanium and titanium alloys?

A

> = 85% titanium

88
Q

According to Wiggs Chapter 18 (Crowns and prosthodontics),

What defines a noble alloy?

A

Noble metal content ≥25%

89
Q

According to Wiggs Chapter 18 (Crowns and prosthodontics),

What defines a predominantly base alloy?

A

Noble metal content = 25%

90
Q

According to Wiggs Chapter 18 (Crowns and prosthodontics),

what beneficial properties do predominantly base alloys have?

A

As a group they are much harder, stronger, and have twice as high an elastic modulus as do the high noble and noble metal alloys.

This latter property is advantageous because casting can be made thinner and still retain rigidity

91
Q

According to Wiggs Chapter 18 (Crowns and prosthodontics),

What must be the axial, incisal and occlusal reduction in order to properly fit a porcelain fused to metal crown, and why?

A

•The axial reduction with PFM needs to be in the range of 1.5 mm

The incisal reduction should be 2.0mm and occlusal 1.5 mm range

To allow for a 0.5 mm metal substructure and the 1 mm of porcelain needed to cover the metal esthetically.

92
Q

According to Wiggs Chapter 18 (Crowns and prosthodontics),

What is the benefit of a PFM restoration, what are the risks, and what happens if the porcelain fails?

A

Benefit is estietic

risk is fracture of the porcelain

if that happens, metal substructure should still be intact and protecting the tooth.

93
Q

According to Wiggs Chapter 18 (Crowns and prosthodontics),

What are the five guiding principles for crown preparation design?

A

preservation of tooth structure,

retention and resistance,

99
Q

According to Wiggs Chapter 18 (Crowns and prosthodontics),

How is the limiting convergence angle calculated?

A

CAlim = arcsin (H/D)
