week 6- Cementation Flashcards
what are the steps for delivering the final prostheses before seeing the patient
- evaluate the framework/final prosthesis
- any need for remake or alteration
- may any adjustments prior to the patient appointment
- check the prosthesis for:
- proximal contacts
- internal surface
- marginal adaptation
- inter abutment stability
- occlusal contacts
- occlusal anatomy and finish
- axial contours
- overall design
- clean the prosthetic for patient try in
what should you look for in your framework prior to patient appointment
- metal ceramic finish lines
- framework design to support porcelain
- pontic contours
- connector location; dimension, contour
- adequate cut back for porcelain
- adequate metal thickness in areas to be veneered
what frameworks is it necessary to try in to ensure the fit prior to porcelain veneering
metal ceramic or zirconia based
framework is tried in to check:
- proximal contacts
- internal fit
- marginal integrity
- stability
- occlusion
when is shade selection confirmed
at the framework try in appointment
once ceramic is veneered at try in you should check:
- same things as when framework was tried in
- any adjustments needed like occlusion or contacts
- patient approval and acceptance and consent for cementation
before removing the temporary what should you do
take an impression of the temporary to save you time just in case you need to remake a temp, especially if you adjusted the first temp a lot. it also might help remove the old temp
how should you remove the temporary
- using curved hemostat gently rock the temporary back and forth to break the current seal
- grasp the temporary in a manner in which the temporary is not likely to break
- clean out the inside of the temp, disinfect it and set aside
before removing the temporary always make sure you have either:
the temporary matrix or take a new one
if the temp doesnt come off what do you do
section it off
how should you take a temp off teeth with an RCT, post or build up
section it off and cut it off with a bur
if the temporary does not come off easily or you are concerned at all about the materials and their stability under the temp what should you do
section it off
how should you section a temp bridge off and what should you use
use a very thin tapered diamond to section M-D and B-L and then gently remove the sections by applied lateral force in between the criss crossed lines you just made
once the temporary is removed:
-clean off any excess cement chunks
- clean the tooth preparations with pumice slurry
if the framework wobbles or rocks on the preparations what should you check
- proximal contacts
- internal surface
- margin adaptation
how should you evaluate proximal contacts
- evaluate visually and with floss or shimstock
- mark areas and adjust as needed if contact is inhibiting full seat
how should you check the internal surface
- use “fit checker” or similar to check internal surface
- adjust any “positive” areas
- only minor adjustments should be made in the internal surface
what does a positive defect in checking the margin mean
there is too much framework material and this can be polished away with a stone or rubber wheel to see if this allows the rock to disappear
what does a negative defect means when checking the marginal adaptation
you have an open margin and a new impression will need to be taken
if the framework is still rocking, the contacts are appropriate and the internal surface is not hindering the seat then what is wrong with it
the framework may be distorted
what should you do if the framework is distorted
- section the framework through a connector
- evaluate each retainer separately
- if individually each retainer fits, move forward with solder technique
- if individually either retainer still wobbles or rocks, take a new impression
if the framework is sectioned the cut should be:
- at least 0.2mm wide
- flat
- have parallel sides
what do you do after you section the distorted framework
- to make sure retainers are solidly placed and stationary make a Duralay relation
- once Duralay has set, evaluate framework to make sure rocking or wobble has been removed
- make a plaster “pick up” index after duralay is set to stabilize the framework as you send it to the lab
once framework returns from soldering at the lab what should you evaluate on the framework-
- proximal contacts
- internal fit
- marginal integrity
- stability
- occlusion
if the permanent prosthesis seats properly what should you do
- first take a pre veneering radiograph to confirm margins
- then take a shade and send it back to the lab for porcelain veneering
what are the phases in the lab script
- please pour impression, pin and section cast, articulate master cast with enclosed opposing cast using interocclusal record. return for die trimming and evaluation of articulation
- please fabricate metal- ceramic framework using noble alloy as follows. return in one piece for framework try in:
- phase 3: please add porcelain to complete FPD according to above specifications
what are the steps in delivering the final prostheses with the metal and porcelain
- remove the temp, clean and prepare teeth for seating by making sure all temporary cement is removed and tooth has been pumiced
- try in framework and check for marginal adaptation, pontic adequacy and any rock or wobble
- take a pre cement radiograph to confirm margins
what is fit chekcer used for
to determine if any part of the prep or intalgio surface needs to be adjusted to enable full seating of bridge
what would you do with an open proximal contact
send back to the lab to add on more porcelain
what tissue contact with the pontic should you be looking for
- passive contact with the tissue
- slight blanching of the tissue is acceptable
- more than slight blanching adjust the pontic/tissue contact
- if adjustment is made this tissue portion needs to be highly polished
when the bridge fully seats, has floss and pontic fit is acceptable next is:
occlusion
check occlusion in:
MI, lateral and protrusive movements
- canine guidance should be maintained
anterior bridges need to have appropriate length in protrusive to protect against:
porcelain chipping
