Q

custom resin method

A

sectional impression
prep tooth
syringe bis-acrylic composite resin onto mixing pad
syringe into sectional
relocate impression in mouth
- fully seated
- click over bulbosity of remaining tooth
remove before complete polymerisation (about 1.5mins)
- rubbery
- fully polymerised hard to remove from undercuts
remove completely
remove flash and ledges - high speed/soft flex discs
confirm tooth prep - Svensen gauge
check marginal fit and occlusion in situ - adjust if required (ideally outside mouth)
check aesthetics
cement

21
Q

syringe bis-acrylic composite resin onto mixing pad - why?

A

ensure mixed

monitor setting

22
Q

custom resin method - when remove set provisional what may happen?

A

stay on tooth - ease off with instrument beneath contact points, otherwise sets in undercuts
be removed in imp - leave to set

23
Q

cementing custom resin crown

A

temp luting cement e.g. TempBond NE - non-eugenol temp cement material
trim away excess - let it set then you can just peel excess off
- margins
- interdentally - floss

24
Q

using provisionals for wear cases- establishing occlusion and aesthetics

A
loss of original tooth form e.g. wear
 - reestablish tooth shape
 - pilot occlusion and aesthetics using provisionals
guidance (anterior/incisal)
 - produce on crowns
 - diagnostic wax up, study models
 - require Facebow
25
Q

using provisionals for wear cases - once guidance and aesthetics satisfactory

A

lab - duplicate waxed-up cast, construct vacuum formed stent
next pt visit - prepare teeth, use mould to produce custom formed provisional restoration to new occlusion and appearance
pt trial
- wear until happy with form and fct
- adjust/alter - trim with bur, add composite

26
Q

using provisionals for wear cases - guidance created on provisionals

A

can be transferred to definitives
custom formed incisal guidance table
- imps of provisionals in situ and opposing teeth
- mount casts on semi-adjustable
- unset acrylic on incisal table
- reproduce lateral and protrusive movements
- light cure and give to lab - custom incisal guidance table - copy of occlusal scheme that you want followed when constructing restoration

27
Q

using provisionals for wear cases - impressions of tooth preps (for definitives)

A

master cast mounted on articulator
technician constructs definitives
- guided by custom-formed incisal table
- simultaneous contact between restorations/opposing teeth and incisal pin/guidance table

28
Q

diagnostic wax up

A
satisfy pts aesthetic demands
high aesthetic demand cases
 - alter provisionals
 - minor changes chairside
 - major - replace provisionals
once satisfactory make impression for technician
29
Q

establishing gingival contours

A

use provisionals to achieve satisfactory emergence profile for definitives
- illusion tooth comes out from gum

30
Q

bone level dental implant

A

metal finishes at bone

used for anterior teeth - can mould gingiva

31
Q

gingival level implant

A

ends at gingiva
easier to clean
used for posterior teeth

32
Q

preformed provisional crowns variations

A

tooth coloured
- polycarbonate
- clear plastic crown forms filled with composite
metal - Al/SS

33
Q

problems with preformed crowns

A

unlikely to fit accurately

large bank of crowns needed

34
Q

when are preformed crowns useful?

A

situations where no impression taken prior to tooth prep or damage e.g. trauma cases

35
Q

polycarbonate crowns

A

tooth coloured shells
don’t really fit round tooth - fill inner surface with acrylic
tooth morphology
- anteriors and premolars - sublined with acrylic e.g. trim

36
Q

polycarbonate crowns method

A
select shell slightly larger than prep
trim back until
 - correct prep dimension
 - sits fully over tooth prep
 - not bedding into gingivae
 - pink stone in straight handpiece
fill shell - trim/protemp
seat over tooth
allow polymerisation
remove
check fit
trim if necessary
cement with temp luting cement
cut off tag
37
Q

what if polycarbonate crowns are overbuilt?

A

blanching of gingivae occurs

38
Q

clear plastic crowns

A
select and trim until fit - scissors
pierce hole at cusp tip/canine tip/incisal angle so air can escape - no bubbles
fill with bis-acrylic composite resin
seat over tooth
allow setting
remove from tooth
remove plastic crown form
check margins and occlusion - adjust
cement with temp cement
39
Q

metal preformed crowns

A

used for posterior teeth
Al or SS
any ledges/sharp margins - soft tissue trauma
difficult to adjust - some provided with crimping device to help mould margins

40
Q

using old crown as provisional

A

if replacing, can use/modify original crown for temp
may need partially sectioned/relined
preserve original crown as much as possible

41
Q

removing old crown

A

WAMkey
safe relax/ anthrogyr
sliding hammer

42
Q

preformed malleable composite crowns

A

e.g. protemp crown temporisation material

soft - easily mouldable to tooth

43
Q

preformed malleable composite crowns method

A

moulded over tooth to desired shape
partially light cured 2-3s, otherwise difficult to remove
remove then cure completely outside of mouth
check fit
adjust if necessary
cement

44
Q

why is temporisation of veneers difficult?

A

relying on chemical retention rather than mechanical

45
Q

temporisation for veneers

A

spot bonded, no etch

often don’t need temp as prep should be within enamel and pt can cope with aesthetics for short time

46
Q

indirect provisionals

A
lab made (usually acrylic)
low shrinkage IO
more accurate
high strength
time and cost
used long term
examples of materials - composite, acrylic, meta
47
Q

provisional replacement of missing teeth

A

conventional bridgework temporisation - diagnostic wax up of replacement
acrylic RPD
Essex retainer with pontic
edentulous space and only provisional crowns on prepared teeth

48
Q

advice to pt

A

pt to maintain good OH
- caution with floss as may pull out provisional
otherwise gingival inflammation
- GCF
- bleeding
- poor moisture control for definitive imps
inadequate cement lute placement
