Q

Metal crown indication

A
  1. Extensive coronal destruction
  2. Extensive large restoration
  3. Tooth fracture
  4. Endodontically treated teeth
  5. To change axial contour of the abutment for removable partial denture
  6. Correction of occlusal plane
  7. In patient with high caries index
    8.Short abutments
  8. Long edentulous span
    10.High occlusal forces
  9. Improperly aligned abutment teeth
    Large failing restorations which undermine & weaken cusps.
    Crowns are needed to restore & strengthen teeth
    Full coverage

Q

Metal Crowns
Contraindications

A
  1. High aesthetic requirement (anterior teeth)
  2. When more conservative restoration can give the treatment objectives e.g. partial coverage
  3. Intact buccal or lingual wall
  4. If less than maximum retention and resistance are needed (short span FPD)
  5. When caries extend gingivally, as that the finish line cannot be made
  6. In case of uncontrolled caries

Q

Finish Line Placement & Geometry
(Marginal Integrity)

A

Placement:
• Always on healthy tooth structure-enamel preferred
• In an area of accessibility for finishing & cleaning
• Supra-gingival recommended when possible
• Sub-gingival if necessary for length of the preparation, caries,
old restorations or esthetics
• Geometry:
• Slip joint for Metal
• Chamfer, beveled shoulder & knife edge
• Shoulder best for esthetics

Q

Steps of Preparation

A

1) Occlusal reduction ( Functional cusp bevel).
2) Axial Reduction ( Facial and lingual)
3) Interproximal Reduction.
4) Auxiliary retention if needed.
5) Checking the reduction.
6) - Bevels and Finishing.

16
Q

Occlusal
Reduction/Clearance

A

round-end tapered diamond
to make depth orientation grooves on:
The triangular ridges.
The primary development
grooves.

1.5 mm of functional cusp a
 1mm on the nonfunctional cusp.

Depth of occlusal reduction 1.0
mm deep as measured against
uncut tooth structure.

17
Q

Occlusal clearance measured

A

Occlusal clearance measured with
Instrument (1.0mm dia)-It passes
freely over occlusal surface from
mesial to distal

It can be checked asking the patient
to close on red utility wax held over
the preparation.

Inject Bite registration
materials onto occlusal &
close-After it sets, remove,
section & measure clearance

18
Q

Functional cusp bevel

A

Functional cusp bevel
It should be:
• Parallel the inward facing inclines of the
cusps of the opposing tooth
• Depth of 1.5 mm
• Usually forming a 45-degree angle with
the axial wall.

19
Q

Axial reduction

A

The facial axial reduction is done with the torpedo diamond,
producing a definite chamfer finish line at the same time of
axial reduction
The sides of the diamond will
produce the desired axial
reduction while the tip forms
the chamfer finish line.

Initial reduction is done in the
middle 1/3 of the wall
• Reduce wall & create chamfer
finish line

20
Q

Gingival margin

A

Supra gingival margin, equigingival to
less than 1.0mm from the gingival margin
• Chamfer finish line, 0.5 to less than
1.0mm

21
Q

Chamfer preferred bcos

A

Chamfer is widely preferred for the
gingival finish line:
o It is distinct and easy to capture in an impression
o It will make a slip joint between the
crown margin and the preparation
o It provides space for an adequate
thickness of metal in the margin

22
Q

Lip on finish line due to

A

The chamfer should never be prepared
wider than half the tip of the bur ,
otherwise an unsupported lip of enamel
could result

23
Q

Interproximal Reduction bur

A

needle diamond bur to do initial interproximal reduction
without nicking the adjacent teeth , using short thin, tapered
diamond bur to complete

Emphasis on reduction at
line angles to create a
smooth, continuous finish
line

24
Q

C. Interproximal Reduction
Avoid

A

• Adjacent tooth damage
• Overtapering
• Excessive axial reduction
• Lip in the finish margin.

25
Q

Seating Groove Preparation

A

171 Bur

A seating groove is placed on the axial
surface
• • The groove should be cut to the full
diameter of the bur, and it should extend
gingivally to a point just 0.5 mm above
the chamfer

26
Q

What is the purpose of this groove?

A

It increase the retention and resistance
It helps to guide the crown into place during
cementation

27
Q

Common errors in preparation

A

Undercuts
• An undercut is an area of the preparation where the dimension in a mesio-distal or facial-lingual direction is greater at the occlusal
than it is near the finish line.
Gingival Extension
Taperness
Adjacent Tooth Damage
Line Of Draw
• Pre-determined in two planes
• Mesio-distal
• Usually determined by two adjacent teeth
• Facial-lingual
Pulp exposure
