Lesson 8 & 9 Flashcards
metal-ceramic restoration, otherwise known as _____
PFM restoration (porcelain fused to metal)
one of the least conservative of tooth structures:
______ because incisal and occlusal surfaces are
always subjected to forces
thicker metal
one of the least conservative of tooth structures:
_______ maximum for incisal and _____ for molars
2 mm, 1.5 mm
porcelain fuse at temperatures of ____ and gold alloys melt
at this temperature
960 C
gold alloys melt
at this temperature
960 C
is a major consideration in the
fabrication of metal ceramic restoration
special alloy

C
→ teeth that require complete coverage
→ gingival involvement
→ in conjunction with post & crown
METAL-CERAMIC CROWN PREPARATION
can be modified for cingulum & occlusal restorations
METAL-CERAMIC CROWN PREPARATION
→ if all-ceramic crown is contraindicated
o not efficacious for long spans
METAL-CERAMIC CROWN PREPARATION
CONTRAINDICATIONS
large pulp chamber
intact buccal wall
presence of active caries
→ untreated periodontal disease
→ when more conservative retainer is technically feasible
METAL-CERAMIC CROWN PREPARATION
ADVANTAGES
→ strength of cast metal with the esthetics of ceramics
→ retentive qualities are excellent
→ easy correction of axial form
→ preparation is much less demanding than for partial-coverage
retainers
METAL-CERAMIC CROWN PREPARATION
DISADVANTAGES
→ requires significant tooth reduction
→ difficulty obtaining accurate occlusion in glazed porcelain → shade selection can be difficult
→ inferior esthetics in comparison with all-ceramic crown
→ subject to brittle fracture
→ increases potential for periodontal disease
→ many procedural steps are required
METAL-CERAMIC CROWN PREPARATION
RECOMMENDED PREPARATION for
ANTERIOR:
Labially
1.5 mm
RECOMMENDED PREPARATION for
ANTERIOR:
Incisally
2 mm
STEP-BY-STEP PROCEDURE FOR METAL-CERAMIC TOOTH PREPARATION
(1) Depth Grooves
(2) Incisal (Occlusal) Reduction
(3) Labial (Buccal) Reduction
(4) Proximal Cut
(5) Lingual Reduction
(6) Finishing
(7) Smoothing and Finishing
DEPTH GROOVES
place (3) depth grooves:
o center of facial surface
o one each in mesiofacial and distofacial line angles
DEPTH GROOVES
placed in (2) planes:
Cervical Portion
Incisal (Occlusal) Portion
parallels the long axis of the tooth
Cervical Portion
(DEPTH GROOVES)
follows the normal facial contour (1.8 mm)
Incisal (Occlusal) Portion
(DEPTH GROOVES)
FACIAL REDUCTION
facial reduction in the _____ & ____
cervical and incisal planes
determines the path of placement of the completed restoration
Cervical Plane
(FACIAL REDUCTION)
provides the space needed for the porcelain veneer
Incisal (Occlusal) Plane
FACIAL REDUCTION
