readings Flashcards
is the MCC considered to be conservative
No
what was an inital problem with MCC
Finding a way to bond metal and ceramic
what are the charcteristics of the metal in a MCC
higher fusing range
Lower thermal expansion
Indications for MCC
need complete coverative esthetics
need for use in fixed dental prosthetics
similar to cast metal crowns
why can MCC be used in fixed dental prosthetics
because it can be a retainer due to its metal substrat to be cast or solfered connected
similar to cast metal crowns
MCC contraindications
active caries
untreat perio disease
large pulp cambers
when a more conservative restoration is better
can an MCC have a brittle fracture
Yes, because of ceramics
is the MCC expensive
yes
what is important for an impression to get
- sufficient unpreparaed tooth structure immediately adjacent to the margin for the dentist and lab to identify contour of the tooth and all prepared surface
- need to know contour
- all teeth in arch
- immediate soft tissue surrounding the prep
- lingual surface of anterior teeth (lingual guidance)
why is it hard to get a good impression
wet (gives voids)
are elastomeric impression hyrophilic or phobic
Phobic except for polyethrers
what must be done if you go subgingivally
move gingiva using mech, chem, and surgical means without jeopardizing perio health
what can lead to permanent soft tissue damage
improper manipulation of impression
poor tissue displacement technique
probem with bad interums( bad contour, polished poorly, bad margin, plaque retention)
if you injury soft tissue, it won’t be able to heal properly
- inflammation
can you do fixed with perio disease
No, perio should be solved first
what do you do if the fixed restoration is done before you and causes perio problems
Place an interum, fix perio, then new crown
how to control saliva in the maxillary arch
cotton roll in vestibule buccal to prep
saliva evacuator on the lingual
what happens when part of the cotton roll is saturated
Entire roll must be replaced
how do you control the tongue on the mandible
flange type evacuator using cotton rolls to minimize discomfort between the mylohyoid ridge of the alvelar prosses
anesthetics effect on saliva
slows saliva cuz pdl nerve impulses lead to saliva flow
drugs to control saliva
Anti-cholinergics (rarely used
what is used for mechanical displacement of gingiva
chord
also paste system in conjucntion with directed pressure
chem (aluminum sulfate and epinephrine) shrink the tissue)
cutting sergically
what type of cord is used to displace gingiva
Non-impregnated cord
what does the cord do
stretches the circumferential PDF
Shrinkage of gingival tissue
Ischemia
why would cord have metal filaments
maintain intrasulcular position
how fast does the sulcus close after cord removal
30 seconds (fast)
what to avoid when using astringent
low pH can affect the preped tooth a lot (smear layer and demineralization)
what do you do if you place the cord in dry
GEt it wet to avoid tearing when it is removed
where is the best place to first place the cord
In the interproximal areas
why might it be hard to place cord
Ginvial inflammation (bleeds easy, swollen)
How do you know you have the correct amount of cord
See the margin circumferentially
uninterrupted cord with no soft tisssue folded over it
sizes of cords for the double cord technique
1st in is small and left in for the impression
2nd in is larger and removed for impression
how to control minor hemorghaging
Astrigent
infiltrating with local anesthetic to adjacent gingival papillae
what is the paste made of
Aluminum chloride
how is the paste placed
Injected into the dry sulcus with a special gun
pros and cons of paste
Pro: less disscomfort and good hemostasis
con: less tissue displacment, die trimming more difficult
