Q

questions we ask before tx planning

A
  1. is it restorable?

how much coronal and radicular tooth structure is left?

is it periodontally sound?

what is the root morphology?

what is the condition of adjacent teeth?

Q

purpose of the core

A

the objective of a core buildup is primarily to replace missing coronal tooth structure sufficiently to provide adequate retention and resistance for the crown that will eventually restore the function and the aesthetics of the tooth in the treatment

Q

post fractures share what similarities

Q

length of post related to success - general

A

longer posts = higher success rates

if the length of post = the length of crown – increased failure rate

25% increase in failure rate if the post was 1/4 the length of the crown

Q

posts associated with vertically fractured enfo treated teeth

Q

shape and stress in the post

multiple rooted teeth with canals that are relatively ciruclar in corss section

  1. molars and some pre-molars , missing 1/2 of coronal dentin
31
Q

contraindications for prefab posts

A

large, tapered canals

small single rooted teeth like mandibular anteriors

32
Q

advantages of pre fab posts

A

one office visit

ease of placement

less expensive to fabricate

can be made with composite

cores allowing for final impression on the same day

33
Q

disadvantages to prefab posts

Q

para-post available in what material

A

stainless steel and titanium

35
Q

key factors in governing the longevitiy of the restoration

A

the number of cavity walls and the presence of a ferrule – rather than the material used for the post
