Q

describe disking tooth for lowering height of contour

what does this result in?

A

PATH IS ON PROXIMAL

  • shank of bur is aligned with path
  • bur is TAPERED
  • Taper of bur will create taper on tooth
  • bur on facial is aligned with path on proximal
  • ONLY cutting on the facial (or lingual aspect) NOT proximal
  • use only the belly of the bur or undercut / chamfer will result
  • bur must extend with full length of the crown or a chamfer will result

Q

undercuts used correspond to?

A

types of metal we will use

30
Q

.01 undercut uses what material? .02? .03?

A

Cromium cobalt -.01

Gold - .02

wroute wire - .03

31
Q

what surface do you need to be able to create an undercut?

A

usually can from a flat surface or some type of height of contour

  • if have a surface that diverges from the surveying rod- you are unable to
32
Q

what bur creates a .01 undercut?

A

a #2 round bur – which will go about 1/3 rd into the tooth to create this

33
Q

what part of the bur limits the depth of the cut?

A

SHANK of the bur

34
Q

location of increasing an undercut

A

above free gingival margin (approx. 2mm) and BELOW the height of contour

35
Q

profile view shows what when looking at undercut?

A

depth cut limited by shank of bur

36
Q

direct view shows what when looking at an undercut?

A

does NOT permit depth determination

37
Q

location of dimple?

A

BELOW - when looking relative to the survey line (below height of contour)

and ABOVE free gingival margin (approx. 2mm)

FLAT GINGIVAL 1/3 RD OF TOOTH

38
Q

maximum depth of any dimple is?

A

.01

39
Q

3 SCENARIOUS FOR CREATING AN UNDERCUT

A
  1. to create a .01 undercut – dimple a flat surface by .01
  2. to create a .02 undercut , dimple a 0.1 undercut by .01
  3. to create a .03 undercut, dimple a .02 undercut by .01
40
Q

three types of rest

A

occlusal rest
cingulum rest
ML (mesial lingual rests)

41
Q

function of rests

A
  1. preventing cervical movement of partial
  2. preventing rotational movement
  3. maintaining or establishing occlusion
  4. maintaining relationship of clasp to abutment
42
Q

rest seats and their functions

A 
what you prepare on pt's teeth 
Functions 
1. directing occlusal force along tooth long axis even without opposing tooth present 
2. decreasing torque on abutment tooth 
3. preventing hyperocclusion of rest
43
Q

occlusal forces of teeth usually occuring where? implication on rest placement?

A

in the middle 1/3 are usually strongest occlusal forces present

so place the rest close to the LONG AXIS OF THE TOOTH - in the middle 1/3 prevents tippping and requires that rest seats be as large as possible

44
Q

size requirements for occlusal rest seat

A

approx. spoon shaped

1/3rd M-D of width
1/2 to 1/3 B-L
round floor and walls

widest at marginal ridge
narrowest toward center

1mm reduction at marginal ridge
1.5 mm reduction at the center

flared at marginal ridge

round bur #6 or #8

45
Q

if rest seat not prepared first or correctly?

A

then a rest will cause tooth movement and if not reduced enough - will end up in hyper-occlusion

46
Q

what happens if rest floor slopes outward?

A

rest and tooth may separate

so HAS TO HOLD WATER – ask yourself this question

  • so need it to slope INWARD – so that the rest and ttooth will remain together
47
Q

Rest seat material

A

gold - best for contour control

enamel - okay if polished

amglam - okay if outline of rest > restoration

composite - okay if outline of rest is greater than restoration (not suitable for retention)

lithium disilicate - okay - not well researched yet

porcelain- NEVER - DUE TO FRACTURE

  • so has to end on enamel
48
Q

composite implication on rest seat?

A

okay if outline of rest is larger than restoration however NOT suitable for retention so if need dimple on lingual or facial – cannot do it on composite

49
Q

Porcelain implication on rest seats

A

NEVER

- due to fracture

50
Q

rest seat and undercut material composition and comparative size statemtns

A
  1. margins of rest seat must be larger than the restoration and not end in the margin of the restoration
  2. regardless of material of restortion already in place – the rest seat preparation must obtain support from the enamel of the tooth. so extend if needed but not larger than 1/2 in B-L direction and if this is needed - consider a crown
51
Q

rest seats over restorations?

A

okay if amalgam or composite as long as prep outline is beyond the margins end on enamel for support

  • so if MO on tooth already (not acceptable) – can do a DO rest seat prep as the marginal ridge will end in enamel
52
Q

if tooth has proximal contact and need to make a rest seat? vs open embrasure?

A

interproximal contact provides NO room for minor connectors or clasp arms

MAY NEED A LINGUAL CHANNEL for a minor connector

BUCCAL CHANNEL - for a clasp arm

an open embrasure –> leaves plenty of room for minor connector

53
Q

general reasons why channels may be necessary?

A
  1. minor connector may interfer with occlusion b/c of additional metal
  2. clasp arms may interfere with occlusion
    * but these wont occur if have a channel
54
Q

insufficient occlusal clearance implication for clasp arm?

A

Will interfere with occlusion and will fracture under function

55
Q

if there is interproximal contact?

A

contact provides NO room for minor connectors or clasp arms

so will creare a lingual channel for a minor connector and a buccal channel for clasp arm

56
Q

when are inter-proximal channels required?

A

when marginal ridges are at the same height

57
Q

two types of inter-proximal channels and how you make them

A
  1. square channel - made with round bur

2. tapered bevel - made with finishing bur

58
Q

direction a channel is cut in? sequence of creating?

A

HORIZONTAL not vertical

  • AFTER REST SEAT IS PREPARED
  • move to smaller bur than prepared the rest seat with
  • so not touching facial aspect if just going towards the lingual of the tooth
59
Q

dimensions of a channel

A

1mm wide by 1 mm deep

60
Q

method of preparation for rest seat with clasp

A
  1. prepare rest seat
    - outline is width of bur
  2. come out horizontal for channel and outline is 1 mm
61
Q

mesio-lingual rest seat is like what?

A

they are like a mesio-occlusal in the CINGULUM OF A CUSPID

62
Q

how to locate area for mesio-lingual rest seat

A
  1. locate top bottom and middle of cingulum
  2. divide the cingulum into 3rds mesio-distally
  3. select the Mesio-lingual (or mesio-distal) as the target area
  4. enter
  5. move bur labially, then gingivally, then raise bur to remove the undercut
63
Q

when creating mesio-lingual rest seat where do you ‘enter’ for the prep

A

enter from LINGUAL JUST ABOVE the target area

w/ #6 or #4 depending on size of cuspid

64
Q

what happens if you approach mesio-lingual target area TOO LINGUALLY?
TOO LOW?

A

results in an OUTUWARD SLOPING FLOOR
- all rest seats need an inward sloping floor

if too low

  • floor will be FLAT
  • if origionally placed above the target area you can use the next smallest bur to create an inward sloping floor
65
Q

6 basics for mesio-lingual rest seat

A
  1. as large as possible
  2. at MESIAL end of cingulum
  3. round seat
  4. floor sloped inward
  5. in and up movement to avoid unsupported enamel
  6. round bur (#4 and #6)

inward and upward movement

66
Q

cingulum rest seat

-describe sequence of prep

A
  1. locate top bottom middle of cingulum
  2. locate the tooths long axis
  3. place an INVERTED CONE PARALLEL TO THE TOOTH’S LONG AXIS
    - shank of bur parallel to long axis
  4. start at the midpoint of one marginal ridge – then SWIPE until approach the opposire marginal ridge
    - line angle to line angle
  5. floor sloping inwards and PERPENDICULAR to the tooth’s lonng axis
  6. ends in the thickest bulk of the cingulum
67
Q

describe position of bur an handpiece in a cingulum rest seat

A

bur held upright with shank parallel to long axis of the tooth

cut with base and side of bur – swiping mesio-distally

68
Q

axial wall in a cingulum rest seat

A

the axil wall will initially be slightly undercut and then we will take a straight bur and reduce it so the axial wall is PARALLEL TO LONG AXIS of the tooth

69
Q

pretection of abutments

rest seats do what?

A

DIRECT OCCLUSAL FORCES along a tooth’s long axis

sloping inward – can withhold more forces and along the long axis of the tooth

70
Q

hand instrument to refine preps

A

gingival marginal trimmer

71
Q

angle of floor in rest seat

A

inward at an ACUTE angle
