g. minimum tooth reduction is necessary but also must be compatible with adequate strength and correct contour of the restoration. 1. restoration must have sufficient bulk to resist distortion and allow for wear during service. 2. if casting is unnecessarily thick it indicates that there was excessive tooth preparation.

40
Q

Step# 3: Axial guide grooves on #30

A

a. prepared in the long axis of the tooth which is determined clinically by bisecting the angle formed by opposing axial surfaces in the gingival third of the tooth.
b. POW= imaginary line along which a casting is moved when it is separated from its prepared tooth. should be nearly coincident with the tooth’s long axis.
c. want a little taper so use tapered burs: 1. when moved parallel to the long axis of the tooth will ceate a tapered surface converging 3-4 degrees from the cervical towards the occlusal. 2. 242.6 m and 243.6 m diamonds as well as 170L carbide
d. shank of diamond bur must be held parallel to the proposed POW
e. place 3 shallow grooves on buccal and lingual axial walls with 242.6m diamond bur
1. one should be in the center and one at each mesio-buccal and disto-buccal line angle
2. these grooves determine the POW of the restoration and should be in the long axis of the tooth.
f. evaluate guide grooves and assess alignment

41
Q

Step #4: Axial reduction on #30

A

a. mark gingival extent with pencil line (.5 mm above plastic gingival)
b. use 242.6m diamond bur to remove remaining tooth structure between grooves
c. hold diamond parallel to POW
d. tip of the diamond bur creates chamfer slightly short of the pencil mark.
e. chamfer: cervical junction of prepared axial wall and unprepared portion of the tooth structure. 1. extends around the most cervical portion of the tooth preparation.
f. extend buccal and lingual reduction into the interproximal area. but be careful not to damage adjacent tooth.

h. want axial walls to have a convergence/taper formed from tapered burs: 2-10 degree taper is ideal.

42
Q

Step #5: finishing and evaluation on #30

A

a. line angles should all be rounded
b. preparation should exhibit overall smothness but a polished surface is unacceptable
c. check for undercuts: 1. an undercut is present if a wax pattern can’t be withdrawn from its die without distortion. 2. a depression in the axial wall can cause this. 3. opposing axial walls will have undercut if they don’t converge occlusally.
