Q

Shoulder With A Beveled Finish Line
(2)

A
  • Some people think it makes for a better fitting
    crown
  • It is certainly acceptable to use such a finish line
    but it does not make the crown fit better and it does
    not work with a porcelain margin

Q

Shoulder Finish Lines

A
  • Shoulder finish lines provide greater cervical space for
    an esthetic thickness of porcelain without
    overcontouring the crown and can be used with
    porcelain margins

Q

Why Use A Shoulder Finish Line

A

    possible

Q

Why Use A Shoulder With A Rounded
Axiogingival Line Angle
(3)

A
  • Easier to prepare than a sharp angle
  • Required for any crown that will be milled
  • Produces less tooth weakening than sharp
    axiogingival line angles for small teeth or RCT,
    teeth that will be subjected to greater force since
    they are FPD abutments, and teeth with
    substantial secondary dentin where there is very
    little pulp space remaining (older patients)

Why Use A Shoulder Finish Line And Ceramic
Margin
(2)

A
  • Enhanced cervical esthetics

Metal-Ceramic Preparation
Requirements are based on:

A
  1. Fundamentals of Tooth Preparation:
  2. Material requirements (components):
  3. Esthetic requirements
23
Q
  1. Fundamentals of Tooth Preparation:

24

  1. Material requirements (components):
    (2)
A
  • Porcelain
  • Metal
25
Q
  1. Esthetic requirements
    (2)
A
  • Extent of porcelain coverage
  • Margin design and placement
26
Q

Marginal Geometry – Cervical Finish Line
Form
(2)

A
  • Shape and bulk of restoration margin
  • Marginal adaptation and degree of seating
27
Q

Geometry of Cavosurface Finish Line: Margin angles of less than 25o may produce a metal
margin that is

A

too thin and weak.

28
Q

Preservation of the Periodontium
Location of the Margin
* Subgingival margins are difficult to evaluate
(2)

A
  • Christensen: 120μ marginal gaps undetected
  • Bjorn: 40-50% with 0.2-0.3mm defects
29
Q

“Biologic Width”

A
  • The combined connective tissue-epithelial attachment from the alveolar
    crest to base of the gingival sulcus (approximately 2 mm).
  • (+ 1 mm for a healthy gingival sulcus = 3mm free gingival margin to alveolar crest.)
30
Q

Anterior Metal-Ceramic Preparation
* Resistance Form: Facial – Lingual Preparation

A
  • Parallel to the facial cervical 1/3 - 2/3 of prep
  • Lingual wall height is limited:
  • need “ideal” taper for resistance form in F-L direction
  • prevents dislodgment in protrusive and lateral
31
Q

Anterior Metal-Ceramic Preparation
* Proximal Axial Wall Preparation:

A
  • Longest opposing axial walls
  • Most of the retention form comes from the parallel M-D surfaces
32
Q

Material Requirements
* Adequate room for restorative materials
* Porcelain
(2)
* Metal
(2)
* Masking of metal
(2)

A
  • Opaque, body, incisal
  • Support (shoulder)
  • Substructure strength
  • Restoration fit
  • Porcelain thickness
  • Optimum esthetics
33
Q

Components of the Metal-Ceramic Restoration
* Metal coping:
* Opaque porcelain:
* (Shoulder porcelain)
* Gingival, body, and incisal porcelain:

A

0.3-0.5 mm veneered areas
0.8-1.0 mm un-veneered areas

~ 0.1-0.2 mm

~ 0.8 mm

0.8 – 1.5 / 2 mm

34
Q

Two-Plane Facial Reduction (Morphologic Reduction):

A

Allows adequate reduction for uniform color / contours and resistance.
Inadequate reduction → bulky contour or opaque “bright spot”
Over-reduction → decreased resistance / pulpal insult.

35
Q

Single Plane Under-reduction: “Bright spots”
Inadequate reduction results in light reflection from the

A

opaque porcelain

36
Q

Single-Plane – Over-reduction
(3)

A
  • Pulpal “blush” / pulpal exposure
  • Axial reduction → approaches pulp quickly
  • 1.2 – 1.5mm at cervical is often too much
  • Amount removed ↑ with ↑ TOC preparation
  • ↑TOC = ↓Resistance form
37
Q

Uniform facial
reduction
(multi-plane)
provides space
for

A

uniform
color and
normal crown
contours

38
Q

DEPTH GROOVES: Uniform tooth reduction
(2)

A
  1. Select / measure the diamond with diameter that equals desired
    reduction depth ~ 1.2 mm.
  2. Form depth grooves using the full instrument diameter in both facial
    planes.
39
Q

Uniform proximal reduction facilitates
the development of

A

normal appearing
proximal color and translucency

40
Q

Porcelain proximal surface allows light transmission
Adequate reduction through — is necessary

A

interproximal
*Proximal wing of preparation → metal in proximal → blocks light
transmission

41
Q

Elimination of proximal wings with gradual
transition from facial to lingual allows more

A

esthetic
proximal porcelain surface.

greater than — lingual to contact; gradual blend
to lingual

A

(3)

A
  • facial is often subgingival for esthetics
  • supragingival if no significant esthetic contraindication

* Metal Collar
* Width:
(3)
