Restoring Endo Treated Teeth (Archer / imbrey) Flashcards
Which teeth had a higher success rate: teeth with a good restoration and poor endo or teeth with a poor restoration and good endo?
Good restoration and poor endo
What is ideal for getting a good seal over endo treatment prior to the definitive restoration?
Adequate temporary restoration of access opening and bonded seal over gutta percha
What are 3 orifice sealers?
- MTA
- Glass ionomer
- Flowable resin (purple permaflow resin(
What temporary restoration does Grad endo use?
Triage glass ionomer
What are the components of a long tooth seal from apex to crown in order?
- Calcium hydroxide
- MTA
- Gutta percha
- Glass ionomer
- Composite resin
When is root canal therapy complete?
When the tooth is properly restored
What is the first question to ask before restoring an endodontically treated tooth?
Is it restorable?
Once the tooth is confirmed as restorable, what should you make sure concerning the endo treatment?
- Sufficient apical seal
- Asymptomatic
- Radiolucency decreasing in size
- Absence of fistula if one was present before
- Provisional restoration still in place
What is an inadequate restoration with respect to Endodontics?
- One that does not give adequate apical seal for the endo
2. One that does not give a seal and full cuspal coverage on premolars and molars for restorative
Is it true that the dentin of endodontically treated teeth is weaker than vital teeth?
No
What is the result of the access and tooth preparation associated with an NSRCT treated tooth?
Tooth has increased cuspal flexure and increased fracture risk
What improves the prognosis of NSRCT teeth?
Restorations that enhance a tooth’s structural integrity
In the Ray and Trope study, what was shown to have significantly more presence of periradicular pathology after endo and restorative treatment: poor restorations or poor endo?
Poor restorations
What restoration is indicated for conservative access on anterior tooth?
Composite
What are 2 considerations when deciding the restoration for an endodontically treated anterior tooth?
- Structural integrity
2. Functional requirement
What is a consideration if it is determined an anterior tooth endodontically treated will need a crown?
Does it require a post and core
The presence of what is the only significant variable to predict long-term success in endodontically treated posterior teeth?
Presence of cuspal coverage restoration
If you must do an access through a gold crown, what must be done to restore it?
SMBP 5 step amalgam bonding with Valiant PhD amalgam
When restoring an access through a PFM crown, how many different substrates exist and how many will you bond to?
3 substrates exist (porcelain, metal alloy, dentin)
You will bone to 2 (porcelain and dentin)
What is used to bond to porcelain?
HF etch, Silane coupler, Optibond Solo Plus
What is used to bond to dentin?
Phosphoric acid etch, optioned solo plus, rein
Whar are some methods to increase retention and resistance of restorations od endodontically treated teeth?
- TMS pins
- Amalgapins
- Amalgam bonding
- Condense into pulp chamber
- Condense into root canal
- Posts
What must be considered with respect to the final restorations when placing pins for retention?
If they will be within the bounds of the final restoration
How much pulp chamber height is sufficient for retention?
4mm
If there is less than 4mm of pulp chamber height, what can be used to aide retention?
Canals
What is the purpose of a post?
Retain the core
What are 2 general classes of posts?
- Prefabricated
2. Custom
Prefabricated posts can be what design?
- Active (look like screws)
- Passive (held in with cement)
- Parallel
- Tapered
Custom cast posts can be made how?
Directly or indirectly, either parallel or tapered
What are 5 material prefab posts can be made from?
- Stainless steel
- Nickel chromium alloy
- Titanium alloy
- Carbon fiber
- Zirconium or ceramic
