Prosth: Sheeba Flashcards
1
Q
Goal of Tooth Preparation:
A
- Creat space for the restoration material
- create a path of insertion
- no undercuts
2
Q
Tooth preparaiton inculdes:
A
- Axial Walls
- buccal, lingual, mesial, distal
- Occlusal/incisal surface
- Finish line
- “preparation margin
- Funcitional Cusp Bevel
3
Q
Hand pieces when preping a tooth
A
- Turbine handpiece
- Gross tooth prep (40,000 RPM)
- very aggresive
- light strokes
- might give rough surface
- Electric handpiece
- Finishing and smoothing preparation
- 5000-10,000 RPM
4
Q
Burs for Tooth Prep
A
- Diamond Burs
- easy and fast preps
- micro roughness
- gives excellent crown retention
- more than one size an dshape
- each used for specific task
- Different abrasiveness
- color coded
- Carbide Burs
- remove deeps caries
- cutting boxes and grooves
- cut metal crowns
5
Q
Bur: Color coding scheme
A
- Yellow (504)
- super fine
- Red (514)
- Fine
- Blue (524)
- medium
- Green (534)
- coarse
- Black (544)
- super coarse
6
Q
Tapered Diamond Burs
A
- Different tip shape=different finish
- round end–Chamfer finish line
- flat end–Shoulder Finish Line
- fine end– Opening Proximal Contacts
7
Q
Football Diamond Burs
A
- reduce:
- occlusal surface of posterior teeth
- Lingual Fossa of Anterior teeth
8
Q
Wheel Diamond Burrs
A
- Reduce:
- occlusal surface of posterior teeth
- Lingual Fossa of anterior teeth
- same as Football diamond
9
Q
Preservation of Tooth structure
A
- balance b/w preservation and room for the restoration to achieve adequate restoration strength and satisfractory esthetics
- Over reduction might lead to=Poor prognosis
- pulpal exposure
- weakening of the tooth
10
Q
Guidelines for Preservation of Tooth Structure
A
- Use partial coverage restorations
- Avoid over tapering
- occlusal reduction should follow occlusal anatomy
- limit to the needed clearance
- Avoid unnecessary subgingival extensions of prep
11
Q
When are Subgingival Finish lines used:
A
- Esthetic reasons
- Hiding the margin in anterior tooth
- Subgingival caries or restoration
- can’t put the preparation margin on caries or direct restoration
- Short preparation
- subgingival extension to gain more height for resistance form
12
Q
Retention vs Resistance
A
- Retention:
- resistance to restoration in dislodgement along path of insertion
- Resistance:
- resistance to restoration in any direction other than path of insertion
- Retention and resistance
- are inseparable qualitites
- are not used interchangeably
13
Q
Factors affecting retention and resistance
A
- Total Occlusal Convergence Taper
- Length “preparation height
14
Q
Total Occlusal Convergence Taper
A
- seating VS resistance and and retention
- prep w/parallel axis walls=negative effect on seating the restoration due to hydraulic pressure build up
- Therefore SLIGHT TAPERING ALWAYS INDICATED
- Overtapering
- negative impact on retentions and resistance
- Recommended TOC
- 10-20 degrees
- prep w/parallel axis walls=negative effect on seating the restoration due to hydraulic pressure build up
- shorter the prep the less the TOC will be required to provide resistance and retention
15
Q
Path of insertion
A
- Prep with parallel axial walls
- best resistance and tape
- impossible to prepare without having undercuts
- Slight taper needed to:
- help seating of the crowns
- decrease hydraulic pressure
