operative final study guide material Flashcards
Class III:
Interproximal caries on anterior tooth
class IV
“chipped tooth” (fractured incisal edge)
III and IV similar but IV missing incisal edge
which III or IV
more extensive bevel to increase retention and esthetics
IV
Bevel must cover at minimum the same amount of enamel that is missing due to the fracture
ground(bevel) enamel improves the adhesive bond to enamel by 18% over unground enamel
lingual enamel margins not beveled in class IV when:
instead:
heavy centric contact on margin
Use dovetail with no bevel on lingual to compensate for retention without beveling
thin covering (often to hide under layer)
veneer
Direct Veneer Preparation (composite):
1
2
- incisal lapping preparation
- window preparation
Preparation includes incisal edge
Indicated when tooth needs to be lengthened or incisal defect is present and needs to be correct
(some clinicians do minimal tooth preps, which result in overcontoured (bulky) veneers)
incisal lapping preparation
-direct veneer prep (composite)
type of direct veneer:
(what we did)
Most often recommended
Remove only enough tooth structure to achieve optimal contours with final restoration
Incisal edge remains intact
window preparation
Intra-enamel preparation with window prep in direct veneer
Necessary to provide space for materials to achieve max esthetics
Removes outer, fluoride rich layer (resistant to etching)
Roughens surface for improved bonding
Establishes definite finish line
Identify common mistakes associated with veneers:
-Failure to do wax-up prior to prepping
-Failure to address gingival asymmetry
-Failure to communicate effectively with patient
-Everyone must have same expectations
-Dont start a case that should have never been started (learn to say no)
made OUTSIDE of mouth):
Porcelain
indirect veneer
indirect porcelain veneer adv
Excellent aesthetics
Color match
High bond strength
Conducive with periodontal health
Low wear/abrasion on porcelain restoration
indirect porcelain veneer disadv
Multiple appointments
Expensive
Must have adequate room for preparation
Requires laboratory involvement and fee
Difficult to keep provisional seated
made in mouth veneer
direct composite
adv of direct comp veneer
Mask discoloration
Cheaper than indirect
Can easily correct rotated tooth or diastema
One appointment
direct comp veneer disadv
Susceptible to wear
Margin fracture/stain
Discoloration
contours
Understand which materials will give a better esthetic result
porcelain
has better esthetics and color match compared to composite veneer
different treatments available to help patients with esthetic concerns and tools for communicating with them
Alternate treatment:
-Bleaching for discoloration
-Microabrasion and macroabrasion (polishing) for discoloration
-Direct composite veneers
Microfill composite resin polishes best
-Full coverage porcelain crown or porcelain veneer
-Orthodontics (rotation or diastema)
veneer indications
Intrinsic stain
(Tetracyclie, fluorsis)
Extrinsic stain
(Coffee, wine, smoking)
Wear patterns
Poor restorations
Diastema closure
Rotated and misaligned teeth
Veneer contraindications
Severely malpositioned teeth
Ortho
Denuded dentin (from bruxism)
Poor oral hygiene
Beware of highly fluoridated teeth
Issue with bonding
No primary teeth!
Pregnancy
Oral habits
Bruxism
used with LARGE restorations and less than ideal supporting tooth structure
Typically amalgam (because it relies on mechanical retention)
accessory retention
(Understand the purpose of pin placement and when it is appropriate or inappropriate to place a pin)
Indications for pins:
Improve retention as a last resort
Large restorative that are missing cusp(s)
Prognosis of tooth is uncertain (unstable perio)
Unable to access pulp canals (sclerosed tooth) for needed additional retention
Contraindications for pins:
Severe loss of tooth structure
Endodontically treated teeth
-Teeth too brittle
-Alternatively use post or amalgam core
Large pulp canals (children)
Difficult access for placement
Tooth serves as abutment for RPD
Self threading Pin (size, depth, properties)
Pin hole 0.002” smaller than pin
Pin self-threads into dentin (with hand wrench or latch grip on slow speed 5000rpm)
2 mm in dentin, 2 mm outside of dentin
5-6 times as retentive as cemented pin
High crestal and apical stresses; crazing and microleakage
-greater stresses in dentin
Also, SELF SHEARING: break off on own as you turn them
Know where pins should be placed in relation to tooth structures and in relation to other pins
-Pin is always placed in DENTIN
-At least 1 mm of dentin around pin hole (0.5mm both sides)
-2mm deep into dentin
-Should be placed 5mm apart from each other
-(Minimum of 3mm apart)
-Should be 1mm from wall of prep
-(Minimum 0.5mm from wall to allow for room for condensation of amalgam around pin)
-Place in line angle
-Placed along long axis of tooth
-If using multiple, angle in slightly different directions
-AVOID bending pins
Twist drill sizes
Regular: 0.027 (gold)
minim : 0.021 (silver) most frequent used
Minikin: 0.017 (red)
Minutia 0.013 (pink)
Types of twist drills
Standard
Self-limiting: drill stops itself from drilling too deep of a pilot hole
how to know if pin is the correct height and how to troubleshoot if not
Must be 2mm of amalgam over top of pin
If not: amalgam will fracture
Too tall:
-reduce with handpiece stabilized by forceps to cut perpendicular to pin
-Check when done to make sure not lose
-Bend slightly using provided pin tool (preferred)
-Helps avoid excessive stress
Where not to place pins:
Avoid pulp exposure:
-MF (MB) corner of max and mand 1st molar
-D mand molars
-L max molars
-mid-F, mid-M, mid-D furcations of max 1st and 2nd molars
Concavities:
-M over max 1st PM
-mid-L and mid-F of mand 1st and 2 molars
-Mid-F, Mid-M, and Mid-D furcations of max 1st and 2nd molars
Disadvantages of pins:
- Introduces stress into dentin which can lead to fracture
- Pins reduce the compressive and transverse strength of amalgam
- Possibility of pulp or PDL perforation
-Pulpal exposure is preferred to PDL exposure
a. Pulpal
-Direct pulp cap with calcium hydroxide or endo
b. PDL
-Results in abscess
-Treated by removing pin that is perforating tooth and plugging with amalgam
-Less predictable prognosis - Microleakage around pin
- More difficult to restore and carve anatomy
Know advantages and disadvantages of indirect restorations
Advantages:
Esthetics
Better control of restoration contours
Strength of material
Disadvantages:
Expensive
Requires two appointments (if sent to lab)
Impression needed (digital or with impression material)
Indication for inlay:
- Indirect restoration that is placed within the cusp tips
- NO cuspal protection
- Used on teeth with minimal caries
-Occlusal must be acceptable
-Buccal and lingual cusps must be strong
