How much total occlusal convergence do you need for retention and resistance form in the preparation?
6-8 degree, in both directions
True or False? Resistance form and retention form can be completely separated from each other.
F
How much should the margin be reduced?
0.5 mm
How much should the non-functional cusp be reduced
1 mm
How much should the functional cusp and functional cusp bevel be reduced?
1.5
True or False? Buccal cusp is the functional cusp for #30.
T
Explain the curvature of the CEJ
more gingival in the buccal and lingual areas
Starting point for the finish line:
1 mm above the CEJ
6 preparation steps for full coverage restoration:
- occlusal 2. B and L 3 inter proximal 4 finalize the axial walls, 5 finish 6 evaluate
What should follow the adjacent teeth after preparation?
central groove and tip of the B cusp
What bur to use for cutting guiding grooves
?
What do you use to cut the depth groove
depth cutting burs (WDL1.0)
If you need a 1mm reduction, what size bur should you use for the guiding groove and why?
0.8, so that when you are finishing you do not over reduce
Where do you place the guiding grooves?
no specific location
What should you leave in tact when prepping the tooth and why?
marginal ridge, so you don’t cut the adjacent tooth
Where does the functional cusp start?
5mm above the CEJ, marked on the buccal surface of tooth
How many mm of axial wall height from the finish line do we want?
4
Angulation for cutting reduction grooves:
45 degrees to long axis of tooth OR follow the non-functional cusp of adjacent tooth
True or False? We should get the DMR and MMR’s for our preparation.
F
What bur to use for cutting guiding grooves on axial wall:
6878K-016, Champfer bur
6878K-016, Champfer bur has what degree of angulation?
6-8 degrees, exactly what we want for our prep
How should the 6878K-016, Champfer bur be angled when prepping the tooth?
parallel to the long axis, it is already angled to the exact angle we want, 6-8 degrees
Depth of the grooves should be:
1/2 of the 6878K-016, Champfer bur
What will happen if you enter more than half of the chamfer bur?
creation of unsupported enamel, prone to chipping
Bur to break contacts:
850
Bur to finalize the occlusal table and axial wall:
finishing bur
axial wall height:
4mm
General shape of #30
rectangular, squarish with a rounded line angle
finish line is located:
0.5 mm occlusal to CEJ
categories of the principles of tooth preparation:
biologic, mechanical, and esthetic
Mechanical considerations for tooth preparation:
retention, resistnace, preventing deformation of the restoration (by not reducing enough)
define retention:
prevents removal of the restoration along the path of insertion or long axis of the tooth preparation:
What is important for retention:
parallelism of the axial wall ? Same angle of opposing walls?
Why do we need resistance form?
prevents dislodging during tipping forces; apiece, oblique, or occlusal forces
Factor that influences the retention of the restoration:
geometry of the tooth preparation
3 factors in geometry of the preparation:
diameter, height, and taper of the preparation
2 teeth, different diameters, which has better retention form?
larger diameter
True or False? When the diameters of 2 prepped teeth are the same, the increase in retention is less marked with an increase in height.
T
How does the preparation of the axial wall influence retention?
retention increases as the axial walls approach parallelism ( does this meant that closer to 6 degrees is better than 8?)
