Operative techniques Flashcards

Q

What are the principles of cavity preparation

A
  • dentify and remove carious enamel
  • Remove enamel to identify the maximal extent of the lesion at the ADJ & smooth the enamel margins
  • Progressively remove peripheral caries in dentine - from the ADJ first then circumferentially deeper and only then remove deep caries over the pulp
    • This is to ensure that if there is a pulpal exposure that the caries does not fall into the pulp and so gives a better prognosis
  • Outline form modification
    • Enamel finishing
      • Remove any unsupported enamel
      • Occlusion
      • Requirements of the restorative material
  • Internal design medication
    • Internal line and point angles

Q

What do we need to do to provide retention and resistance in a crown prep

A
  • Is it tapered? Want taper of 6 degrees

Q

How do we provide structural durability in a crown prep

A
  • Has enough been removed so there is adequate room for bulk of material

Q

How do we ensure marginal integrity in a crown prpe

A

Q

How do we preserve the periodontium in a crown prep

A
  • Margins of restoration should be
    • Smooth and full exposed to a cleansing action
    • Placed where the dentist can finish them and px can cleen them
    • Placed at gingival margin whenever possible
    • Dont want to impinge on supracrestal attachment (junctional epithelium + connective tissue)
