What is the best consideration for a tooth significantly weakened by extensive defects, especially in areas of heavy occlusal function where esthetics are a primary concern and why?
Ceramic onlays, crown, PFM crown
Bonds to tooth so good
What determines the lifespan of an esthetic restoration?
Nature and extent of initial caries Treatment procedure restorative materials and technique used Operator skill Patient factors (oral hygiene, occlusion, caries risk, adverse habits)
common reasons for failure of composites
Trauma
Improper prep
inferior matierals
Improper use
True or False: Composites can be used in almost any tooth surface or any kind of restorative procedure.
True
True or False: The ability to bond relatively strong material of composite to tooth structure (enamel and dentin) results in a restored tooth that is both well sealed and possibly regains a portion of its strength.
True
what kind of restoration is a fused (baked) Feldspathic porcelain inlay
Indirect ceramic restoration
benifit of CAD/CAM chairside ceramic restoration
eliminates need for impressions and temporary restoations
no ned for lab procedures and costs
less appointments
Types of Esthetic restorative materials
Ceramic inlays and onlys
Silicate Cement
Acrylic resin
Composite
what was the first translucent restorative material
Silicate cement
how long does silicate cement last in anterior teeth restorations
4-10 years
what lead to the belief that enamel adjacent to silicate cement was more resistant to caries
High fluoide content and solubility
what is the contempory versions of Silicate Cement
GIs (less soluble though)
how is Silicate cement made
Powder (acid-soluble glass)
Liquid (Phosphoric acid, water, and buffering agent)
How does Acrylic Resin cure
Self curing
problem with curing acrylic resin
Poor activator systems
high polymerization shrinkage
high linear coefficent of thermal expansions
lack of wear resistance (leakge, pulp injury, recurrent carries, color change, excessive wear)
when is acrylic resin not indicated
High stress areas (low strength and flowing under load)
when is acrylic resin used
temporary restorations esthetic veneer on facial of class 2 and IV
what is a composite
Polymeric resin matrix with inorganic fillers
roll of inorganic fillers in composite
Enhance physical properties (strength and reduce thermal expansion)
what is done to increase bond strength between organic matrix and inorganic filer in composites for increased mech properites
coat filler w/ silane coupling agent (increase strength, solubility and water absorption)
Macrofill composites
Convensional composites with 75-80% inorganic filler (8 micrometers) by weight
Characteristics of macrofill composites
rough surface texture
easily stained
resin matrix wears faster than filler
what makes up microfill compoistes
35-60% inorganic filler(.01-.04 micrometers of colloidal silica parties) by weight
use of macrofill today
Not used
