Would you use leucite reinforced ceramic (empress) on a posterior inlay/onlay?

A

maybe- only where occlusal force is low

119
Q

Would resin bonding help strengthen leucite reinforced ceramic (empress)?

A

Yes, it can be etched and therefore retention and strength is increased with resin bonding

120
Q

Indications for leucite reinforced ceramic (empress):

A

anterior crowns & veneers

121
Q

IPS empress esthetic & Ivoclar are examples of:

A

Q

Lithium discilicate (e.Max) is used for:

A
  1. veneers
  2. anterior crowns
  3. posterior crowns
  4. anterior bridges (particular cases)

A

Yes- can use resin bonding AND other cements like RMGI

125
Q

Should you use e.Max for a posterior three-unit bridge?

A

No- due to increased fracture of material

126
Q

In the following image, we see a posterior three-unit FDP made of Lithium discilicate ceramic (e.Max). What went wrong to result in this?

A

improve aesthetics with porcelain shell on top of zirconia core for strength

159
Q

Monolithic options of zirconia are not very ____ but do not ____

A

esthetic; fracture easily

160
Q

PFZ initially had failures, mostly in the:

161
Q

List some reasons PFZ crowns failed (specifically the porcelain aspect that would fail):

A
  1. lack of porcelain support in zirconia substructure
  2. OCCLUSION
  3. Bond between zirconia and porcelain would not be able to overcome the difference in coefficient of thermal expansion between the zirconia core and the veneering porcelain
162
Q

If a patient comes in with a dark tooth (dentin) needing a crown, what may be a good option?

A

PFZ, because zirconia core can be used to mask dark dentin

163
Q

T/F: Because zirconia is NOT brittle, any cement technique can be used

164
Q

Zirconia copings can be as thin as ______ because zirconia is strong

165

monolithic zirconia

166
Q

Describe the effects of zirconia on opposing teeth:

A

wear friendly

167
Q

A

chamfer or shoulder

168
Q

Zirconia still needs appropriate ____ and ____ to survive in the oral cavity

A

thickness & occlusion

169
Q

If you want the MOST esthetic anterior restoration restoration, what would you choose?

  1. veneer:
  2. crown:
A
  1. feldspathic porcelain
  2. e.Max or Empress
170
Q

If you want the MOST esthetic posterior restoration, what material would you use?

  1. Crown:
A
  1. e.Max, or 5Y zirconia
171
Q

If you have a bruxing patient, what posterior restoration material would you use?

A

3Y zirconia or gold

172
Q

What is the MOST realistic anterior tooth replacement option?

A

Feldspathic porcelain veneer, resin bonded

173
Q

Anterior teeth:

  1. ____ occlusal forces
  2. ____ strength requirement
  3. ____ esthetic requirement
A
  1. Lower
  2. Less
  3. Higher
174
Q

Posterior teeth:

  1. ____ occlusal forces
  2. ____ strength requirement
  3. ____ esthetic requirement
A
  1. higher
  2. higher
  3. less
175
Q

If the patient is NOT a grinder, what type of restoration material would we use in the posterior?

A

E.max or zirconia

176
Q

Your patient is a bruxer/clencher and needs a bridge:

  1. Best treatment option:
  2. Middle treatment option:
  3. NOT a great option:
A
  1. monolithic zirconia (3Y) or PFM
  2. monolithic material with buccal porcelain
  3. fully veneered porcelain
177
Q

When should you adjust glass ceramic veneers?

A

Only adjust AFTER seated & bonded with resin cement

(too fragile to adjust outside the mouth)

(internal surface should not be adjusted if possible)

178
Q

When should you adjust e.Max (lithium discilicate)?

A

Adjustment outside the mouth is acceptable

(internal surface should not be adjusted if possible)

179
Q

When should you adjust zirconia?

A

Adjustment outside the mouth is acceptable; internal surface needs either air abrasion or diamond bur roughening prior to cementation

180
Q

After adjustment of ceramics with bur is done, what is the order for polishing?

A
  1. coarse polisher
  2. fine polisher
  3. felt wheel or brush with fine diamond polishing paste
181
Q

T/F: Resin cements do not require a moisture free environment

A

False- they DO require a MOISTURE FREE environment

182
Q

MDP:

A

Methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate

183
Q

Placed on zirconia to enhance the chemical bond to cements containing resin:

A

Primer containing MDP (used with resin cements)

184
Q

Which of the following are contraindicated in LOW strength ceramics?

a) RMGI
b) resin cements
c) resin cements with MDP primer

185
Q

Why is an RMGI cement contraindicated with low strength ceramics?

A

because the water absorption with the setting of cement leads to slight expansion and possible fracture of ceramic at thin margin area

(However because zirconia is a strong ceramic it can be used with zirconia)
