Partially Edentulous Patients Flashcards
____ is used when a screw to retain the prosthesis would go thru the cusp if placed on the occlusal surface
Lingual set screw
Problems with _____:
- Increased risk of fracture; usually not an option due to difficulty of fabrication and placement
- Very small screw an can’t be properly torqued in most scenarios leading to loosening
Lingual set screw
What are the 2 alternate options where a lingual set screw could be used?
Cement retained
Titanium angled base
For a cement retained crown, and ____ is used to help seat the crown on the abutments properly upon insertion
Seating jig
What are the 2 most important characteristics of cements used in cement retained implant crowns?
Retrievability
Radiographic Detection
TempBond (zinc oxide with eugenol) demonstrated the _____
grey level values for the cements tested.
highest
All cements containing ____ (TempBond, TempBond NE, Fleck’s)
could be detected radiographically
zinc
________ is a major concern of cement retained prostheses due to its strong association to periimplantitis
Undetected excess cement
_________ washes away over time and the restoration will become loose. This creates some
problems and may compromise the implant as well.
TempBond (zinc oxide with eugenol)
_________ cements are the most radiolucent and difficult to detect radiographically, the hardest to retrieve, most
difficult to remove excess, and the majority contain fluoride (associated to titanium corrosion), and should therefore be avoided
whenever possible
Definitive Resin based
_______ cements are specifically made for implant prostheses, combining radiopacity, resistance to wash-out and
secure retention, improved retrievability and non fluoride formulation (Ex: Premier Implant Cement; Telio CS CEM Implant)
Implant Resin based
How does fluoride affect implants as far as using a cement that releases fluoride?
Causes corrosion of titanium
If there is excess cement from placing an implant via cement retained, what is likely to occur?
Peri-implantitis
What situations should be avoided in the posterior maxilla as far as FPD implant retained treatment plans?
Long span FPD (2+ pontics)
Distal Cantilever
A longer (larger) cantilever tooth has ____ force
Increased force
