Who developed the first porcelain jacket crown
Charles Henry Land
Define TOC
the angle of convergence between 2 opposing prepared axial surfaces
What is the most effective means of assessing TOC
Facial/lingual clinical views because the MD surfaces are readily visible. Obtain FL views with a mirror
(Posterior/anterior) teeth are more commonly prepped with greater TOC
posterior
(Maxillary/mandibular) teeth are more commonly prepped with greater convergence
Mandibular
What teeth in the mouth are prepped with the greatest convergence
mandibular molars
(FL/MD) surfaces are prepped with greater convergence
FL
Which are prepped with greater convergence FDP abutments or individual crowns
FDP abutments
which creates greater convergence monocular vision (one eye) or binocular vision (2 eyes)
monocular
Which is more sensitive to changes in TOC (retention/resistance)
resistance
The 2001 Goodacre article suggests TOC should be between
10-22 degrees
If you have a small clinical crown your TOC needs to be (small/large)
small
3mm OC height of the crown with _ TOC should be adequate
17.4 degree TOC
What is the minimal OC for anteriors and PMs height needed for adequate retention and resistance form when prepped within the acceptable TOC range of 10-20
3 mm
What is the minimal OC for molars height needed for adequate retention and resistance form when prepped within the acceptable TOC range of 10-20
4mm (molars are prepped with greater convergence than anteriors and PMs and located where occlusal forces are greater
What should you do if your axial wall height is below the requirements
- Add grooves/boxes
- Decrease the TOC (cervically)
Horizontal forces commonly are directed in the (FL/MD) direction on teeth
FL
The greater the FL dimension the (better/worse) the resistance form
worse (hence why molars often lack adequate resistance form)
OC/FL ratio the lower this number the more (flexible/strict) the TOC guidelines
strict
Reccomended OC/FL ratio for all teeth should be
0.4 (or higher)
Teeth have geometric forms after pep what is the shape of the Pms and anteriors, maxillary molars, and mandibular molars
PMs and anteriors= over
Mandibular molars= rectangle
Maxillary molars= rhomboidal
T/F The shapes of teeth after their prep influence their retention form
t
What shapes have been retention/resistance form
teeth with corners (molars) not the conical or circular teeth the circular teeth should employ grooves and boxes (Thus it is important to preserve the natural circumference morphology of the teeth)
Grooves and boxes when prepped ususally have (greater/less) TOC than their axial walls
less- thus more resistance form
rooves and boxes are most routinely prepped for what teeth in the mouth and why
mandibular molars because they has short OC height, worst OC/FL ratio, porepped with greatest TOC (worse than maxillary moalrs) etc
To resist FL forces grooves and boxes should be placed where
MD SURFACES- plus these surfaces are commonly prepped with lower TOCs
Indications for subgingival margins
- Increase the OC height of the prep
- Extend beyond caries/restorative materials
- Esthetics
- Obtain ferrule
The dentogingival complex included what
CT attachment, epithelial attachment and sulcus depth
Why are chamfer finishlines suitable for CCC
- Provides adequate bulk for the restoration
- Distinct and visible
- Easy to form
Recomended depth of chamfer finish line is _ by depends on
0.3-0.5mm depends on the bulk of the metal **Must posses a min. depth of 0.3 mm
Depth from metal ceramic finishline is
0.8-1 mm (Shoulder finishline)
Occlusal reductions vary based on what factors
- Type of crown
- Position/alignment in arch
- Occlusal relationships
- Periodontal considerations
Malaligned teeth often require (more/less) reduction
more
Why should line angles be rounded
create stress concentration, optimizes fit and makes casting easier
Smooth preps enhances what … and decreases _
marginal fit… retention (with zinc phosphate luting agents but NOT with adhesive type cements)
Decision for what bur to use for a metal ceramic margin should be based on what
not marginal fit but on preference for esthetics, formation ease and type of metal-ceramic crown
When placing a post the minimum root wall thickness of _ should be maintained all around
1 mm
How much GP apical seal should be left
4-5 mm
