Q

Anatomy of a Bridge

A
  • Abutment: the Tooth the bridge attaches to
  • Retainer: Crown that attaches to abutment
  • Pontic: FAKE TOOTH
  • Connector: Connects retainer to pontic

Q

Bridge: Poor Prognosis Scenarios

A
  • Half or less bone support around abutment tooth
  • Single retainer cantilever (posterior region)
  • Multiple-splinted abutment teeth
  • Nonrigid Connectors
  • Intermediate Abutments=pier (aubtment tooth used to support a bridge all by itself, w/no adjacent teeth)

Q

Ante’s Law

A

The PDL surface area of abutment teeth should be equal to or greater than the imaginary PDL SA of missing teeth

Q

Bridge: Splinting Teeth

A

Splinting: Distributes occlusal forces

Recommend when Ante’s Law is broken
* PDL SA of abutment tooth can’t support the bridge

If replacing a maxillary canine:
*splint central and lateral together
* prevent lateral drifting of the bridge

Q

CR Vs MI

A

CR=MI in only 10% of pts
* in 90%, they slide into each position

Casts are mounted in MI when MI can be maintained
* (Single fixed procedure-single crown or bridge)

Casts are mounted in CR when MI is impossible to maintain
* complete dentures
* multiple teeth being restored/replaced

All Ceramic Crowns: Glass-infiltrated ceramics

A

etched w/hydrofluoric acid
* treated w/silanecoupling agent
* bonded to tooth

243
Q

All Ceramic Crowns: Ceramics w/No Glass content

A

Zirconia or alumina
* luted to tooth with cement

244
Q

Porcelain Veneer Prep

A

Intra-enamel prep: all in eaneml layer; only facial surface

Gingival 1/3 reduction: 0.3 mm
Facial Reduction: 0.5 mm
Incisal Reduction: 1-2 mm

Incisal edge: Shoulder Butt Joint (90)
Gingival margin: Chamfer

245
Q

Maryland Bridge

A

Aka Resin-bonded bridge
* minimal prep
* PFM or porcelain
* bopnd to adjacent teeth

can experience Debonding

246
Q

Munsell Color System

A
  • Hue
  • Chroma
  • Value
247
Q

Hue

A

Color Family
* red, blue, grreen etc

248
Q

Chroma

A

color saturation or intensity

  • dull graying blue or more vibrant pure blue
249
Q

Value

A

Lightness or darkness
* most important

measured from 0(Black) to 100 (white)
* more towards 100=Light version of color
* More towards 0=Dark version of color

250
Q

Metamerism

A

color appears different under different lighting

251
Q

Fluorescence

A

Object emits visible light when in UV light

252
Q

Opalescence

A

Translucent material
* Reflected light=appears blue
* transmitted light=red/orange

253
Q

How to select proper shade and color for crowns?

A
  1. Chroma=Cervical 1/3 of crown
  2. Value=middle 1/3 of crown (most important)
  3. Hue=incisal 1/3 of crown
254
Q

Characterization of a restoratoin

A

Reproduce natural defects
* can add more color and make darker but not reverse

Types:
* Staining
* Glazing

255
Q

Staining vs Glazing

A

Staining:
* Lose Fluorescence
* Increase Metamerism
* Decreases VALUE=make darker

Glazing:
* surface porcelain fill in defects

256
Q

Crown Delivery Steps

A
  1. Shade (esthetics)=confirm the sahde is what you selected
  2. Proximal Contacts: Open-send back; Heavy-adjust
  3. Margins
  4. Fit
  5. R&R Form
  6. Occlusion
  7. Contour (anatomical)
  8. Cement
257
Q

Luting Agents

A

Aka Cements

6 types:
* Zinc Oxide Eugenol
* Zinc Phosphate
* ZInc Polycarboxylate
* Glass Ionomer
* RMGI
* Resin

258
Q

Luting Agent: Zinc Oxide Eugenol

A

Temp cement
* soothes pulp
* Eugenol=inhibits polymerixation of resin

259
Q

Luting Agent: Zinc Phosphate

A

Gold Standard
* Phosphoric acid=irritates pulp
* exothermic rxn: mix on child glass slab

260
Q

Luting Agent: Zinc Polycarboxylate

A

Calcium Chelation
* minimal pulp irritation

261
Q

Luting Agent: Glass Ionomer

A

Adheres to enamel and dentin
* releases Fl

262
Q

Luting Agent: RMGI

A

most commmon used today
* Higher strength and lower solubility than GI

Do NOT use with all ceramic crowns
* except zirconia

263
Q

Resin Cement

A

Most compressive strength
* bonds to dentin

Light cure, chemical cure or dual cure
* light cure=more color stable than dual cure

264
Q

What are the possible crowns used today?

A

Zirconia (Ceramic but no silica (Glass))

Metal: (PFM or Gold)

Lithium Disilicate (aka emax; glass ceramic)

Feldspathic porcelain (Veeners)

265
Q

What crowns do we use RESIN Cement vs Luting Cement?

A

Resin Cement: chemical bond dentin-bond-resin-silane-silica
* Lithium dilicate (emax)= dual cure resin cement
* Feldspathic porcelain (veneers)=light-cure resin cement

Luting Cement: (GI or RMGI)
* Zirconia (cermica but no silica/glass)
* Metal (PFM or Gold)

266
Q

Ditching a die

A

expose margin of prep

267
Q

Die spacer

A

room for cement

268
Q

Why do long span PFM bridges fail?

A

Fracture
* due to porcelains low ductility
