W3. Fundamentals of periodontal preparation, tooth aspects Flashcards
I. Tooth preparation
1. What is the tooth preparation?
The selected form given to a natural tooth when it is reduced by instrumentation to receive a prosthesis (e.g. artificial crown or a retainer for a fixed or removable prosthesis)
I. Tooth preparation
2. How is the selection of form guided?
The selection of the form is guided by clinical circumstances and physical properties of the materials that make up the prosthesis.
II. Fixed Prosthodontics Terminology
1. What are the 6 examples of Fixed Prosthodontics?
- Full veneer crown
- Partial veneer crown
- Laminate veneer
- Inlay
- Onlay
- Fixed partial denture
II. Fixed Prosthodontics Terminology
2A. What is full veneer crown?
Cemented extracoronal restoration covers outer surface of clinical crown
II. Fixed Prosthodontics Terminology
2B. What are indications for full veneer crown?
- Protect weakened tooth structure
- Improve or restore esthetics
- Restore the tooth to function
- Use as a retainer for fixed
bridgework
II. Fixed Prosthodontics Terminology
2C. What is FPD retainer for full veneer crown?
extracoronal restoration that is cemented to the prepared abutment tooth
II. Fixed Prosthodontics Terminology
3. What are the 5 Principles of crown preparation described by Schillingburg?
- Preservation of tooth structure
- Retention and resistance form
- Structural durability of the restoration
- Marginal integrity
- Preservation of the periodontium
II. Fixed Prosthodontics Terminology
3A. How should we preserve tooth structure?
- Avoide excessive destruction
- Design restoration to reinforce and protect remaining enamel and dentin
- Overtapered or shortened too much:
- no retention and reistance
- thermal hypersensitivity
- pulpal inflammation
- Necrosis
II. Fixed Prosthodontics Terminology
3B. Why are retention and resistance forms important in crown preparation?
- Geometric configuration of tooth preparation
- Retention prevents removal along the path of insertion or long axis
- Resistance prevents dislodgement of oblique forces
- Retention and resistance are interrelated and inseperable qualities
II. Fixed Prosthodontics Terminology
3C1. How do we use taper in crown preparation?
- Axial walls of a preparation must taper slightly to permit the restoration to seat
- Two opposing surfaces, each with a 3degree inclination (diamond held paralell to the intended path of insertion) 6 degree taper
- The more nearly paralell the opposing walls of a preparation, the greater should be the retention
II. Fixed Prosthodontics Terminology
3C2. Why are walls tapered?
- visualize preparation walls
- prevent undercuts
- compensate fabrication inaccuracies
- permit complete seating during cementation
II. Fixed Prosthodontics Terminology
4. Explain this picture
- CA:convergence angle - Total occlusal convergence of a preparation
- AI:axial inclination - Angle of the preparation wall relative to the line of draw of the preparation
- Sum of the axial inclination of two opposing walls equals the convergence angle. Symmetrical preparation: CA is twice the value of the axial inclination
II. Fixed Prosthodontics Terminology
5. What is the angle of convergence?
Respective relationship between 2 opposing walls
II. Fixed Prosthodontics Terminology
6. What is inclination of wall?
Relationship of 1 wall to the long axis of preparation
II. Fixed Prosthodontics Terminology
7. What is Angle between the hour and minute
Angle between the hour and minute hand at 12:01 is 5.5 degree
II. Fixed Prosthodontics Terminology
8. How do we hold Diamond rotary cutting instrument?
Diamond rotary cutting instrument held parallel to the path of insertion when preparing the axial surfaces:
- AI equals to that of the diamond being used 12 degree to insure absence of undercuts
- Overall target: 10 - 22 degree
