L2 Flashcards
Principles of tooth preparation
Subtactive processes
Restorative material dictate reduction
Retention, resistance form
Biological factors
DImension requirements
Incisal reduction: 2 Facial : 1.5 Circumferential finishline: 1 Lingual clearance: 1 Outline .5 above free gingival margin
External surface form is determined when?
Diagnostic stage
Microstructure of dental porcelain
SiO4 tetrahedron
Glass with crystallin residuals
Crystaline silicate with hi thermal expansion
Leucite
Strength mechanism
Crystal reinforcement: slows crack growth
-more crystal=more strength
Stress induced transformation
Preventing Stress corrosion
Transformation toughening
stress induces crystals to transform from one lattice to another
Increase volume, closes cracks
3 ways to make all ceramic
Metal like
minimal cutback
monolithic
metal like
high strength
Opaque
minimal cutback
Porcelain only in critical area
Monolithic
moderate strength
translucent
Microstructure of porcelain
SiO4 tetrahedron
Primarily glass with crystaline residuals
