Q

Post diameter should not exceed:

A

1/3 of xs diameter of root

32
Q

Goal of post diameter:

A

retain as much dentin as possible

33
Q

Ideal post surface texture:

A

serrated or roughened > smoth

34
Q

Luting agents most to least effective:

A

adhesive resin cement > ZOP/ GI cement > poly carboxylate

35
Q

Post is not necessary if:

A

there is more than 3-4mm of coronal tooth structure w reasnable wall thickness (Is this molars only?)

36
Q

When to use an amalgam post:

A

mostly pos, enough remaining coronal tooth structure w a circumferential cervical tooth structure

37
Q

Which root to use for cemented post (only this type) multirooted teeth:

A

widest canal

38
Q

Place post in this canal for man molars:

A

distal

39
Q

Place post in this canal for max molars:

A

palatal

40
Q

Where is the greatest stress distribution found in the post?

A

the shoulder, esp interproximaly and at the apex

41
Q

Are stresses red as the post shortens or lengthens?

A

lengthened

42
Q

Which distribute stress more evenly, parallel or tapered?

A

parallel

43
Q

Type of post that generateds the highest amt of stress at apex:

A

parallel

44
Q

Posts that distribute stress well:

A

threaded

45
Q

Issue w threaded posts:

A

can produce high stress conc during insertion and loading

46
Q

Function of cement:

A

more even stress distribution to root w less stress conc

47
Q

Where to place antirotational groove:

A

bulkiest root

48
Q

Don’t use this type of instrument to remove GP:

A

end cutting

49
Q

Instruments to use to remove GP

A

hot ndo plugger (system B), GG drill (rotary)

50
Q

System B is:

A

hot endo plugger

51
Q

How large to maket he canal when using a prefab post:

A

1-2 sizes larger than MAF

52
Q

Be aware of this when using a custom post:

A

UC’s, peroration (non-circular xs)

53
Q

Coronal walls should be this wide:

A

at least 1mm

54
Q

Create these in your coronal prep:

A

pos vertical stop and intirotational groove

55
Q

Remove this from crown:

A

internal and external UC’s, unsupported tooth structure

56
Q

Post type easiest to treat:

A

Fiber

57
Q

Stronger, ceramic and zirconia OR metal?

A

metal

58
Q

Which should be thicker, ceramic and zirconia OR metal?

A

ceramic and zirconia

59
Q

Metal posts:

A

high modulus of elasticity, rigid alloy, electrolytic action of dissimilar metals

60
Q

Fiber posts:

A

easier to retreat, less strength, stiffness, lower fracture threshold

61
Q

When to use custom made posts:

A

misaligned teeth, mandibular incisors

Q

Direct procedure for custom post:
