Q

describe in detail the method for custom resin provisional crown?

A

) Sectional impression
 2) Prepare tooth for chosen restoration
 3) Syringe bis-acrylic composite resin material onto bracket table or mixing pad
* I) Ensure its mixed
* II) Monitor setting
 4) Syringe material into sectional impression of tooth that has been prepared
 5) Relocate impression in the mouth
* I) Ensure fully seated
* II) “click” over bulbosity of remaining teeth
) Remove before complete polymerisation
* “Rubbery”
* Fully polymerised material difficult to remove from undercuts
 7) Remove completely
* May:
o Stay on tooth
 Gently ease off with instrument beneath the contact points
 Otherwise: sets in undercuts
o Be removed in the impression
 Leave to completely set
 8) Remove flash and ledges
* High speed and/or polishing discs
) Confirm tooth preparation
* Svensen gauge
 Check marginal fit and occlusion in situ
* Adjust if required (ideally outside the mouth)
 Check aesthetics

139
Q

explain vital external bleaching?

A

o Discolouration is caused by the formation of chemically stable, chromogenic products within the tooth substance.
o These are long chain organic molecules.

Before embarking on treatment you must decide whether to place restorations in the existing occlusal scheme (conformative approach) or to change it deliberately (the reorganized approach).
