Quiz 2/9 Restoration of the Endodontically Treated Tooth Flashcards
Leads to higher occurence of fractures in endo teeth compard to vital:
loss of structural integrity asoc with access prep, ie caries, existing restos
When to consider retreatment?
root canal space is grossly contaminated
Factors involved in longevity of resto after endo:
coronal leakage, recurrent caris, fractures, cuspal coverage, post type
Types of posts:
direct, indirect, tapered, parallel, textured, smooth, threaded, unthreaded
Factors to think about before restoration:
good apical seal, no sensitivity to pressure, no exudates, no apical sensitivity, no active inflammation
3 causes of loss of tooth structure:
caries, endo, previous restos
Foundation materials:
composite, amalgam
Cast post and core materials:
metal, ceramic
Prefab p/C materials:
metal, carbon files, glass fiber, ceramic post
4 foundation resto materials:
composite restoration, cast post, prefab post and malgam in distal canal, prefab post and amalgam in palatal canal
TF? Cemented posts are ideal for anteriors:
F. weaken, not reinforce
Do all endo treated anteriors require full coverage restos?
no
Posts not recommeded for anterior:
cemented, metal if itsnot ful coverage
A crown is needed after anterior endo when:
extensive loos of structure, serves as an FDP and RDP abutment
TF? Better prognosis for endo treated anteriors restored with a post.
F
Endo treated anteriors not crowned after obturation are lost __ times more freq than thoes crowned.
6
Endo treated posteriors req:
cuspal coverage (except maybe man premolars)
Posterior tooth that may not req cuspal coverage after endo:
man premolar
complete coverage crowns are recommended on these posterior teeth:
teeth w high risk of fracture (Max premolars)
Recommendation for posterior teeth w sig coronal tooth loss:
cast P/C or prefab post along with resin/amalgam foundation resto
posterior tooth w high risk of fracture:
max premolar
Function of post:
retain core in tooth w extensive loss of coronal tooth structure
Compicatons related to p/c
perforation root fracture,. placement beyond apex
Principles of canal prep:
apical seal, min enlargement, adequate post length, pos hor stop, vert antirotational slot, extension of final resto margin onto sound tooth
What to think about in regards to coronal tooth structure for p/c crown:
maximal coronal structure, enough ferrul (ortho, crown lengthening)
More likely to result in root fracture, short or long posts?
short
Post best for retentio:
parallel is better than tapered
Post should be this long:
L of clinical crown, 3/4 L of root, 1/2 L of canal, 1/2 L of root in bone
Keep this much GP in apex of canal:
3-5mm
TF? The larger the post diameter, the better the retention.
F
