NO INCISAL EDGE
Class IV Preparation
Approximal surface PLUS incisor angle of ANTERIOR teeth
MI, DI, MFI, DFI, MLI, MID, etc
Class V Preparation
Gingival Third of the FACIAL OR LINGUAL of ANY tooth!!!
Class VI Preparation
Cusp tips of POSTERIOR teeth, incisor edges of anterior teeth
O (posterior teeth)
I (anterior teeth)
Outline Form
Shape/outline of the cavity preparation as it meets the external surface of the tooth.
Based on location and extent of carious lesion.
Keep plural floor at .5mm
Enameloplasty
when pit/groove doesn’t penetrate to any great depth into the enamel and doesn’t allow for proper tooth prep margins.
Does not extend outline form
buffing out a scratch on a car?
Outline Form Rules
- Extend prep margin until sound tooth structure is obtained; no unsupported enamel remains
- Preserve cusp strength
- Avoid terminating margins on extreme eminences like cusp heights or ridge crests. (don’t go into cusps?)
- Extend to include all fissures that can’t be eliminated by appropriate enameloplasty.
- Restrict plural depth to .5 mm into dentin
- When 2 pit/fissure preps with less than 1mm tooth structure between them make it into one big prep.
Resistance Form
Tooth and restoration must have resistance to fracture during mastication.
Resistance to fracturing for both tooth and material
Retention Form
Mechanical shaping of the preparation to retain the restoration.
Don’t want the material to fall out
Resistance Form Principles
- Use box shape with flat plural floor
- Restrict extension of external walls
- Slight rounding of internal line angels (reduces stress)
- Provide thickness of restorative material (amgalam 1.5mm)
- Include weakened tooth structure in the preparation to prevent future fracture.
Retention Form Principles
- External tooth walls converge occlusally
- Grooves
- Adhesive systems
- Occlusal dovetails
- Pins
Convenience Form
Shape/form of prep that provides for observation, accessibility, and east of operation in prepping and restoring the tooth.
