Q

Advantages of direct CV

A

Little/no tooth prep
Many wear similar to natural tooth - no iatrogenic wear of opposing teeth
Chairside repairs
Can be altered

Q

Disadvantages of direct

A

Result not as long lasting as porcelain alternative
Not as strong as ceramic
Wears more compared to ceramic

19
Q

Technique for direct

A

made chairside
Uses colour modifiers
Resin composites/microfilled/hybrid
Consider minor preparation if build up will change lip line

20
Q

Longevity of Composite veneers

A

Fx survival 100%

Overall survival rate 84.6% after 5 years

21
Q

Indirect technique of COMPOSITE

A

Minimal prep
0.25-0.5mm tooth reduction if needed
Resin cement
Bonding procedure similar to porcelain veneers

22
Q

Advantages of indirect over direct

A

Less polymerisation shrinkage
Less leakage and staining and sensitivity
Physical properties of composite found to improve with more curing
Better control over contacts and contours
Less technique sensitive

23
Q

Porcelain veneers - 4 components - ESSENTIAL

A

Porcelain veneer
Acid-etched enamel surface
Silane coupling agent
Resin cement

24
Q

Advantages of porcelain veneer

A
Aesthetics 
Durability 
Strength 
Marginal integrity 
Soft tissue compatibility 
Minimal tooth reduction
25
Q

Disadvantages of porcelain veneers

A
Time consuming
Fragile
Difficult to repair 
Colour matching can be a challenge 
Irreversible 
Inability to trial cement the restoration
26
Q

Porcelain glass ceramics

A

Disilicate

Glass reinforced

27
Q

Veneer considerations

If not prepping?

A

To prep?

If not prepping - reversible, painless, overcontoured, bulky, hygiene, inflammation?

28
Q

Advantages of prep

A

Stress concentration is less
Prep removes aprismatic and hypermineralised enamel which is more resistant to etch
Aim for prep to be completely in enamel to maximise bond strength

29
Q

Tooth prep measurements

A
Minimal 
0.3 - 0.5 mm mini chamfer 
0.6-0.8 incisal buccal reduction 
Facial reduction in 2 planes 
Special bur kits
30
Q

Types of prep - how to accomodate for occlusive force

A

More prep so provide more ceramic bulk

31
Q

Preparation types

A

Window prep - short of incisal edge
Long bevel - thin incisal edge
Complete coverage

32
Q

Extension of prep over incisal edge

A
  • increases strength
33
Q

Temporisation - important factors

A

Aesthetics

Reduced sensitivity

34
Q

Types of temp

A

Direct composite with spot etching

Chairside - diagnostic wax up

35
Q

Cementation - fx

A

Shared part of applied loading stresses

Luting agent for light cured composite

36
Q

Try in stage - purpose - using what

A

Resin luting agent
Assess fit and aesthetics
Try in paste

37
Q

Preparing veneer

A

Trreat surface with HP

Clean and remove

38
Q

Veneer cementation

A

Must be held in two planes

39
Q

Resin spaces are caused by

A

Incorrect luting

Incorrect seating

40
Q

Failures

A

Fracture due to occlusion, PF, bonding to existing restoration
Microleakage/marginal staining
Debonding

41
Q

3 types of veneer fracture

A

Static
Cohesive
Adhesive

42
Q

Static fracture

and cause

A

Segment of veneer fragments but remains in place

XS load –> loss of fragment

43
Q

Cohesive fracture

and cause

A

Within body of porcelain

Tensile loads from XS functional loading

Results in fracture

44
Q

Adhesive fracture

and cause

A

Failing of bonding interface

Due to weak bond or severe occlusal loading

45
Q

Debonded veneer

A

Determine which interface has failed

If luting agent is still present on TOOTH - etching was inadequate

If luting agent still present on VENEER - problem with bonding/placement/bonding substrate
