When Prevention Fails Flashcards
when is restoration or extraction required
cavity prep
systematic approach
only recover tooth if sufficient viable tooth substance
why are the classifications of caries
1 2 3 4 5
what is class 1
occlusal of molar and p molar
buccal pits of molars
what is class 2
approximal of molars and p molars
what si class 3
approximal surfaces of incisors and canines
what is class 4
incised edges of incisors and canines
what is class 5
cerical margin
what are the principles of cavity prep
convenience form outline form resistance retention form treatment of residual caries corrections of enamel margins cavity debridement
what is outline form
defining the shape
what is resistance form
ability of cav to resist movement of restorations in it
what is retention form
resist forces to displace
parallel sided cavity - no undercuts
what is imp about an undercut
restoration will not withdraw
what is treatment of residual caries
removal by excavation
what is correction of enamel margins
cliff hanging of enamel over restoration - too much = unsupproting can cave
how do you correct an enamel margin
remove weakened tooth substance
facilitate placement of matrix retainers
bevel to increase SA for bonding
