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
Clinically acceptable range of prep ta[per:
5-22’
Tooth prep w lowest resistance form:
short, large diameter, large taper
Which require more parallel preps to get resistance form, molars or premolars?
molars
Luting agents, can undergo greatest to least compressive strength:
adhesive resin, resin, resin ionomer, GI, polycarboxylate, zinc phosphate
Biological consideration:
prevention of damage to tooth, adjacent teeth, soft tissue, pulp
Causes of injury of biological concern:
temp, chemicals, bacterial action
TF? Both air turbine water cooled, and low speed water cooled show less of a temp inc than either air turbine or low speed, dry.
T
Biological consideration that affect health of oral tissues:
conservation of tooth structure, avoidance of overcontouring, supragingival margins, harmonious occlusion, protection against tooth fracture
Margin design requires a design that can provide enough:
bulk of material to resist deformation
TF? Feather edge margin provides enough bulk of gold alloy to withstand distortion.
F
7 margin designs:
Feather edge, chisel, chamfer, Bevel, Shoulder, Sloped Shoulder, Beveled Shoulder (no modified shoulder!!)
Is bevel margin essentially a sloped chamfer margin?
check
Margin design most suitable for cast metal crowns ans the metal-only portion of a metal-ceramic crown:
chamfer
Benefits of supragingival margins:
easily finished, easily cleaned, impressions easy to make, restos easily evaluated (adaptation of the margin?)
Areas of critical reflectance that are esthetic concern:
most I & G portions of the PFM that have both metal and porcelain (doesn’t inc most F-G area that is all metal or area that is most incisal that is all porcelain
