Q

metal ceramic prep importance of two plane reduction:

what happens without two planes?

A

allows for even thickness of material

without two planes: can endanger pulp
can also decrease esthetics with thinner areas which do not allow proper porcelain coverage

Q

why is a shoulder with a rounded line angle preferred for PFM crowns

A
  1. easier to prepare than a sharp 90 degree angle
  2. if any part of crown is milled(metal coping), a mill cannot create a 90 degree finish line
  3. less stress on tooth with rounded shoulder finish line (especially for RCT treated tooth or small teeth/teeth under heavy occlusal load)
  4. often referred to as a modified shoulder margin

20
Q

why use metal collar?

A
  1. ease of fabrication and precise fit if margin cannot be large enough to accommodate metal and porcelain
  2. also if margin is deep subgingival, this allows for less material and less likey an over-contoured crown (which would create gingival problems)
  3. use heavy chamfer or shoulder
  4. margin depth 1.2mm ideally, but can accommodate smaller

22
Q

why use disappearing metal

A
  1. metal is thinned to fine line that is barely visible
  2. allows for metal burnishing of margin to secure precise fit (like metal collar)
  3. when margin depth is not enough to allow for porcelain and metal both at margin
  4. use heavy chamfer or modified shoulder margin
  5. shoulder margin depth 1-1.2mm ideally, but can accommodate smaller
23
Q

why use porcelain margin?

A
  1. highest esthetics
  2. difficult to fabricate requiring excellent lab
  3. use modified shoulder margin
  4. shoulder margin depth 1.2 required
24
Q

metal and porcelain fill should finish line space. no metal is seen

A

porcelain margin

25
Q

new PFM’s placed with margins slightly ____and with porcelain margin design

A

subgingival

26
Q

why are crown margins placed subgingivally?

A
  1. esthetics
  2. cover dentin
  3. when decay has extended below gingiva
  4. when retention/resistance is needed
  5. previous restorations extended sub-gingival
27
Q

sub-gingival margins:

A
  1. placed 0.5mm below gingiva
  2. margin smooth to ensure well adapted crown can fit without irritating gingiva
  3. finish lines need to be deep enough axially to allow for adequate space for crown material
28
Q

if your crown margin violates this, gingival inflammation and resorption of bone will occur

A

biological width

29
Q

emergence profile for metal-ceramic prep

A
  1. crown and tooth contour which preserve the gingiva health
  2. proper emergence profile creates smooth transition from tooth to crown
  3. extremely difficult with implant crowns. one of the biggest challenges we face today with implants
30
Q

metal ceramic problems

A
  1. porcelain is a brittle substance that if not designed correctly can fracture
  2. porcelain needs to be less than 3m thick
  3. if not baked correctly, porcelain will be weaker and the internal stresses of chewing etc, will likely cause fracture
31
Q

this is abrasive to natural dentition, so often we see significant wear on opposing dentition

A

porcelain

32
Q

what are required to do more reduction of tooth structure than all metal crowns but have greater esthetics than all metal crowns

A

PFM

33
Q

prep design for metal-ceramic is based on:

A
  1. fundamentals of tooth prep to achieve resistance and retention
  2. material design with metal and porcelain and where those materials are to be placed on the restoration
  3. esthetic requirements such as where the porcelain extends
34
Q

advantages of all ceramic crowns

A
  1. ESTHETICS- most realistic restorations we have
  2. can be milled
  3. gingival compatibility
35
Q

disadvantages of all ceramic crown

A
  1. reduced strength
  2. substantial tooth reduction required
  3. technique sensitive for prep and cementation
  4. opposing tooth wear
  5. greater fracture potential
  6. limited use in bridges
36
Q

indications for all ceramic crowns

A
  1. highest level of esthetics
  2. light occlusal loads
  3. tooth prep is possible (enough tooth remains)
37
Q

contra-indications for all ceramic crowns

A
  1. heavy occlusal loads
  2. unfavorable occlusion(end to end)(bruxer)
  3. short prep with ceramic thickness greater than 3mm
  4. margin depth to accommodate ceramic not available
38
Q

all ceramic preparation
incisal reduction:
facial axial reduction:
lingual axial reduction:
marginal reduction:

A

incisal reduction: 2-2.5mm
facial axial reduction: 1.2-1.7mm
lingual axial reduction: 1-1.2mm
marginal reduction:1-1.2mm

39
Q

what chamfer is required for all ceramic prep

A

modified shoulder or heavy chamfer

40
Q

benefits of all ceramic crowns

A
  1. with no metal to obscure, the translucency and overall esthetics can be the best we have in dentistry
41
Q

what are susceptible to fracture

A

ceramics

42
Q

these combine to encourage fracture in all ceramic prep

A

surface flaws and stress concentrations
-ceramics do not have the ability to absorb the stresses on them and therefore fracture

43
Q

how is the brittleness overcome with all ceramics?

A
  1. manage occlusal forces
  2. restoration and preparation design
  3. cement with resin cement
  4. reinforce the glass ceramics
44
Q

e.max- lithium disilicate inductions

A

anterior/posterior single crown
anterior bridge
inlay/onlay/veneer

45
Q

strength of e.Max-lithiu, disilicate

A

360-500mpa (enamel around 300 mpa)

46
Q

what cement is required for all ceramic crowns 90% of the time

A

resin cement

47
Q

e.Max-lithium disilicate requires ___mm margin and minimum ___mm reduction with ideal around ___mm reduction

A

1mm margin
minimum 1.5 reduction
ideal around 2mm

48
Q

using e.Max and other glass ceramics on anterior teeth…

A
  1. lower occlusal force favoring the use of ceramics
  2. glass ceramics are most esthetic, so anterior use is best
  3. edge to edge or occlusion in the gingival 1/5 is UNFAVORABLE for ceramics
  4. must have adequate tooth support as too much ceramic thickness is easily broken
49
Q

using e.Max and other glass ceramics on posterior teeth…

A
  1. higher occlusal forces question use of ceramics
  2. glass ceramics are most esthetic, so posterior use not as important
  3. heavy occlusion on the molars leads to increased fracturing. All-ceramic crowns are contra-indicated in bruxers
  4. must have adequate tooth support as too much ceramic thickness is easily broken. often not enough room on 2nd molars for ceramics
50
Q

to help strengthen all-ceramic crowns, this is used. increases strength of ceramic crowns by up to 50%
-stronger than other conventional cements

A

resin cement

51
Q

all ceramic prep design guidelines:

A
  1. flat plane at right angle to forces
  2. modified shoulder or heavy chamfer
  3. no sharp line angles
  4. adequate length of prep for support
  5. uniform axial reduction with ideal taper
52
Q

rather than sharp incisal edge, do this to the incisal edge to reduce fracture.
more than ___mm of porcelain left incisally will result in significantly higher risk of fracture

A

round or flattened
3mm

53
Q

all ceramic prep.
short preps:
excessive porcelain bulk:

A

short: leave too much ceramic and also cannot be retained easily with anterior occlusal forces
excessive: decreases strength

54
Q

where all ceramic crown would not be preferred, this could be used.
esthetic porcelain on facial or covering the whole ___core.

A

PFZ- porcelain fused to zirconia
zirconia core
