Q

what will happen when trying to seat definitive crown if provisional is too low

A

the crown will be high
- material can be thinned and weaker, anatomy destroyed and crown cant function appropriately in the occlusal scheme of the patient

Q

describe provisional marginal integrity

A
  • fit as close to the finish line of the tooth as possible
  • shape the contour to make it smooth and undetectable with an explorer with a smooth surface finish
  • seal the provisional at the margin to prevent pain, sensitivity or dislodgement

Q

what is the #1 reason temporaries break

A

occlusion

24
Q

describe bis-acryl

A
  • easy to use and easy to trim and polish
  • is a brittle material which can fracture if occlusal load is too strong and if material is too thin
25
Q

describe provisional esthetics and phonetics

A
  • maintain phonetics
  • facial lip support
  • proper tooth form and appearance
  • tooth shade compatible with remaining teeth
  • provisionals can be a preview of final restorations to enhance patient acceptance
26
Q

how can phonetics be maintained with temporaries

A

-proper tooth length
- position
- contours

27
Q

describe interim fabrication

A
  • material is placed in a matrix while in a fluid state
  • matrix is placed on tooth and allowed to solidify
  • matrix is trimmed and polished while material continues to harden
  • must continually place temporary on preparation or temporary will not fit
  • most interim materials shrink as they solidify
28
Q

describe direct interim fabrication

A
  • create matrix prior to prep
  • prepare tooth
  • place temp material in matrix and seat in mouth
  • remove, trim, and adjust
  • cement
29
Q

the _______ forms the external portions of the interim while the ______ forms the internal of the interim

A

matrix; preparation

30
Q

what are the 2 types of interim restorations

A

-external surface forms
- directly on tooth versus indirectly on cast

31
Q

what are the external surface forms

A

pre-fabricated (preformed) crowns (singles)
custom fabricated molds (multiple)

32
Q

what are the temp prefabricated crowns

A
  • aluminum or tin-silver
  • stainless steel
  • polycarbonate shells
  • cellulose acetate shells
  • VLC moldable crowns
33
Q

describe pre-fabricated crown forms

A
  • limited to single units
  • must be lined with auto-polymerizing resin
  • considerable modification needed for appropriate fit and contour
  • best when patient in your office with crown off and lost or broken tooth with not enough tooth to make a traditional matrix form
34
Q

describe custom molded interims

A
  • less time consuming
  • can be used for singles but required for multiple units
  • improved contours and esthetics
  • simulated planned restorations when used with diagnostic wax up
35
Q

describe the direct technique

A
  • convenient
  • time required for fabrication - routine restorations
36
Q

describe indirect technique

A
  • patient comfort
  • if presence of multiple undercuts, allows you to see this before it gets stuck in patient mouth
  • great of long span bridges or multiple units
  • can be fabricated ahead of time in advance of the tooth prep appointment
37
Q

describe lab fabricated shell provisional

A
  • typically used for multiple units or full arch provisionals
  • shell is thin and will be relined in the mouth
  • made prior to preparations
  • saves time on big cases
  • not cheat, can be several hundred dollars
  • can also mill temporary shells in office with some systems
38
Q

what are the currently used materials for provisionals and what brands of each

A
  • acrylic resins: PMMA Jet acrylic, Powder/liquid formulations
  • Bis-Acryl composite resins: Bis-GMA containing materials, chemically activated, light activated
39
Q

what are the advantages and disadvntages of PMMA

A
  • A: good marginal fit, good strength, good polishability, durability
  • D: high exothermic heat increase, low abrasion resistance, free monomer toxic to pulp, high volumetric shrinkage
40
Q

what are the advantages and disadvantages of Bis-acryl

A
  • A: good marginal fit, low exothermic heat increase, good strength, low shrinkage, good surface hardness and abrasion resistance, good biocompatibility, color stability and patient acceptance, can light cure
    -D: surface hardness, less stain resistance, limited shade selection, limited polishability, brittle, high cost, brittleness, no rubbery stage
41
Q

describe PMMA (jet acrylic) temporary material

A
  • chemical conversion of monomer to biologically inert polymer is through a chain reaction
  • unreacted free monomer is toxic
  • inadequate polymerization results in poor mechanical properties
  • polymerization is exothermic and there is shrinkage upon polymerization and cooling
42
Q

what properties are associated with monomer im PMMA

A

chemical or allergic reaction

43
Q

what properties of set material for OMMA

A
  • exothermic reaction
  • volumetric shrinkage
  • increased strength due to polymerization
44
Q

what are the properties of polymer in the powder in PMMA

A
  • with proper amount we have strength and handling
  • too little poweder- loss of strength
  • too much powder- poor handling and adaptation
45
Q

what are the problems with interim restorations

A
  • time to fabricate
  • length of time temp is required in the mouth
  • materials are good but not great
  • managing deficiencies: relining or repairing
46
Q

how should you treat fractured surfaces

A
  • grind to expose a fresh surface
  • roughed this fresh surface
  • composite flowable resin to repair
47
Q

describe Zinc oxide eugenol

A
  • temp bond
  • low strength
  • eugenol is a sedative for tooth
  • eugenol can inhibit resin polymerization
48
Q

when would you not use eugenol

A

core buildup or anything with resin because it inhibits polyermization

49
Q

what are the non-eugenol cements

A
  • polycarboxylate cement (ultratemp)
  • glass ionomer based cement (smart temp)
  • resin cement (telio)
50
Q

what are the types of cements

A
  • eugenol
  • non-eugenol
51
Q

what is the only eugenol cement

A

zin oxide eugenol

52
Q

describe ultratemp

A

low strength

53
Q

describe smart temp

A

longer term temporary use

54
Q

describe telio

A

translucent

55
Q

what are the steps to cementation

A

mix equal parts of base and catalyst on mixing pad with spatula

56
Q

when should you check the occlusion and why

A

after cementation because the cement thickness can inhibit full seating of the provisional

Q
A
