A

Retainer

17
Q

Proper proximal contact for a crown or FDP on a working cast is confirmed by?

A

Visual examination of proximal contact area is sufficient

18
Q

All of the following statements are true concerning the intraoral evaluation of a crown except?

A

Flossing the proximal contact should fray

19
Q

According to Dr. Sebert’s Ridge Classification, which type which is least prevalent in the general population?

A

Class II

20
Q

Which pontic has no contact with the gingiva?

A

Hygiene Pontic

21
Q

This tx is not extremely technique sensitive and should be considered a routine procedure by average general dentist?

A

Ridge Preservation

22
Q

Which 2 Sebert Ridge Classifications share loss of ridge horizontal height (width)?

A

Class I and III

23
Q

How much axial wall thickness is required, minimal for ferrule effect?

A

1mm

24
Q

What are the Guidelines of the Post and COre?

A
  • A post that is too short will increase the likelyhood of root fracture
  • The post length should be 2/3 of the length of the root and have the length of the root in bone
  • It should be 3-5mm from the apex, can not be less, to insure that we keep the canal sealed
  • The purpose of the post is to retain the core
  • THe purpose of the core is to provide retention & resistance of the crown
    *
25
Q

Post retention is influenced by which elements?

A
  • Post length
  • Post diameter
  • Post surface texture
26
Q

Most coronal tooth structure is missing on anterior tooth, which post and core is indicated?

A

Cast post and core

27
Q

A tooth that was prepared for a PFM crown, how much reduction should be done on the occlusal surface? (no metal on occlusal surface)

A

2mm

28
Q

Which cusps do you bevel on a mandibular posterior tooth?

A

Buccal cusps

29
Q

What are characteristic of metalic occlusion when doing a PFM?

A
  • More conservative preparation
  • Stronger occlusal surface
  • Should be disccued with pt do to esthetics
30
Q

Which are correct in reguards to cord impregnated with Epinephrine?

A
  • Cord impregnated with epinephrine will provide vasoconstriction and hemostatsis
  • However epinephrine sx can occur raising BP
31
Q

Displacement of gingival tissue may happen when?

A
  • Placing a crown
  • Cavity prep extending subgingivally
  • Taking an impression to get contour below cervical margin
  • Gingival overgrowth hindering operative procedure
  • Control gingival hemorrhage during operative procedure

Wrong - quadrant scaling to control hemorrhage

32
Q

A

20 mins

33
Q

Which are methods of gingival displacement?

A
  • Phyical/mechanical
  • Chemical/mechanical
  • Laser
  • ElectroSurgical
  • Surgical
34
Q

What is the primary reason for tx of a FDP?

A

To give pts their best chance of preserving their remaining natural dentition

35
Q

In the case of a vital tooth that is tp for a crown that is extensively damaged, pulp exposre, questionable pulpal health, should have what tx?

A

Endo

36
Q

All of the following are listed as advantages of a RPD compared to FDP?

A
  • Replacing tissues and structures other than teeth
  • Easier to clean if the pt has limited motion skills
  • Usually more economical for a given number of teeth replaced
  • Allows for possibility of diastema (need connector in FDP)
37
Q

When trimming the die stone to fabricate a master cast?

A

it has to be 6mm

38
Q

Working dies for indirect restorations constructed by dentist prior to crown and bridge manufacturing should have all of the following?
