Lec 1/12 Principle of Tooth Prep Flashcards
5 princ of tooth prep:
preserve tooth, retention/ resistnace, structural durability, marginal integrity, preservation of periodontium
3 major groups to consider hen thinking about principles of tooth prep:
Biologic, mechanical, esthetics
Mechanical principles:
provide retention and resistance, prevent deformation of resto
This form prevent any movement of the resto under occlusal forces:
resistance
6 factors influencing retention:
magnitude of force, geometry of tooth prep, roughness of intaglio surface, materials being cemented, luting agent used, film thickness of luting agent
These forces tend to remove a resto along its POI:
dislodging, chewing sticky food
Magnitude of dislodging forces depends on:
stickiness of food, sa of the resto, surface texture of the outer surface of resto
Factors included in geometry of a prep:
diameter, taper, height/ length
Does an inc in ht inc retention more or less than a greater inc in parallelism of the axial walls?
less
How does an inc in diameter affect retention?
linear inc in retention
Result of occ surface of prep not following unprepped tooth:
ht dec, sa dec (frictional dec)
Type of crown, best to worst retention:
complete crown w no grooves, 7/8 crown w grooves, 3/4 crown w grooves, 7/8 crown, 3/4 crown (sa decreases)
Luting agents, greatest % retention to least % retention of zinc phosphate:
adhesive resin, resin, GI, polycarboxylate
Good resistance depends on these 3 things:
magnitude/ direction of forces, geometry of tooth prep, physical properties of luting agent
Are boxes or grooves more retentive?
boxes
