Restoration In Primary Dentition Flashcards
Anatomic differences in primary teeth
Thinner enamel and dentin
Larger pulp chambers
Pulp horns closer to surface of tooth
Broader flatter proximal contacts
Greater cervical constriction
More prominent cervical contour
Class I indications
Caries confided to occlusal surface No pulp involvement No cusp involvement No marginal ridge involvement Ability to maintain conserverative preparation
Class I outline form
Conservative preparation Remove caries No extension for prevention Do not cross oblique ridge unless undermined by caries Seal unprepared grooves
Class I depth
Remove cares
No extension or prevention
Pulp floor into dentin
No liners/bases
Not into dentin consider using
Flowable or sealant
Advanatage of composites and compomers
More esthetic
May be less prone to failure
Advantage of amalgam
Less sensitive to moisture contamination
Slightly quicker
Likely less prone to failure
Advantages of GI
Less sensitive to moisture
No etch/bond
Some fluoride release
Class II indications
Small proximal lesions
Inner enamel to outer dentin
Ability to maintain ideal preparation
No more than 2-3 years of service needed
Consider deferring
Class II contraindications
Larger than ideal class II use SSC
> 2-3 years of service remaining SSC may be a better option
Pulpotomy
Proximal box
Broader at cervical than occlusal
Gingival contact broken
Buccal/Lingual contacts need not be broken
Axial wall .5 mm into dentin
Class II amalgams failures
Isthmus fracture
Class II composites failure
Recurrent decay at gingival margin
SSC indications
Large various lesions
Pulpotomy/pulpectomy Cusp/marginal ridge involvement MOD Single surface proximal Developmental defects
SSC occlusal reduction
1-1.15 Maintain cusps inclines Depth cuts helpful Bur 169 Football diamond High speed 8
SSC proximal reduction
Break bucco-lingual and gingival contact
Prep extends subgingival
Gingiva will bleed
Explorer should pass through entire contact
Feather edge marking with no ledge or chamfer
Bur
169
Thin
SSC buccal lingual reduction
Minimal
Round line angles
Round occlusal
Do not remove cervical bulge completely
