A
  • Pts at high risk of caries (xerostomia/ severe early childhood caries).
  • Pre-cooperative child (very young).
  • Treatment challenged by behavioural or medical conditions.

  • Difficult to treat dental carious lesions.
  • Pts without access to dental care.

A

orthodontic separators 5-7 days prior

36
Q

what material is a hall crown?

A

stainless steel

37
Q

what is the hall crown filled with for cementation?

A

GI luting cement

38
Q

what are the indications for a hall crown?

clear band of dentine
proximal lesions cavitated or non cavitated
occlusal lesions if pt cannot tolerate other treatment

39
Q

what are contraindications of hall crown?

A

IR or abscess/ infection
caries in to pulp
arrested caries

40
Q

how long does it take for occlusal equilibration following crown placement?

A

4-6 weeks

41
Q

what is stepwise caries removal? and does it require LA?

A

yes LA
stage 1 - remove superficial caries and place GI
stage 2 (6-12 months later) - access cavity and place permanent restoration

there should be an increased distance of pulp to caries

42
Q

when would you use stepwise caries removal?

A

extensive occlusal or proximal lesions in permanent molars

43
Q

when would you do complete caries removal?

A

moderate occlusal lesions
moderate proximal lesions

Q

when would you use selective caries removal?

A

moderate occlusal lesions
moderate proximal lesions

46
Q

what is site specific prevention?

A

show parent and child the carious lesion
OHI

fluoride varnish
monitor

if not arrested after 3 months, consider alternative tx
