Steps in Delivery process
Remove the temporary
FIRST – If you did a lot of adjusting to the temporary
at the previous appointment, causing it to be more
than slightly different than the previous matrix, a

A

new
matrix of the temp can and should be made of the
temporary, to save you time in case you need to
remake the temp due to breakage in the process of
removing it.

Q

Check the margin adaptation of the framework
(2)

A

-A “positive” defect means 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
-A “negative” defect means you have an open
margin and a new impression will need to be
taken.

Steps in Delivery Process – Lab Script Phase 1
-”Please pour impression; pin and section cast; articulate master cast with enclosed opposing using interocclusal record. Return for die trimming and evaluation of articulation.
30
Phase 2
-”Please fabricate metal-ceramic framework using noble alloy as follows: -#3 full cast retainer -#4 Modified Ridge Lap pontic -Porcelain finish line half way down lingual incline of lingual cusp -#5 Facial porcelain shoulder margin -mesial and occlusal contacts in porcelain -porcelain-metal finish line half way down lingual surface extending proximally to support porcelain Occlusion:
31
Occlusion:
establish centric contacts in MIP; no lateral or protrusive excursive movements Return in one piece for framework try-in
32
Phase 3
-Please add porcelain to complete FPD according to above specifications
33
Steps in Delivery Process – Final product Framework returns with porcelain veneering for final seating. 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 follow previously stated guidelines to check for marginal adaptation, pontic adequacy, and any rock or wobble.

35
If needed, using a --- (seen in photos to the right) can help you determine if any part of the prep or intaglio surface needs to be adjusted to enable full seating of bridge.
product like Fit Checker
36
Now that porcelain has been applied, re-evaluate the bridge for stablility, proximal contacts, and marginal integrity. What would you do about this situation?
Look for passive contact with tissue. Slight blanching of tissue acceptable. More than this, adjust pontic/tissue contact. If adjustment is made, this tissue portion needs to be HIGHLY polished.
37
When bridge fully seats, has floss contact, and pontic fit is acceptable, next is occlusion. Check occlusion in (3) movements. Anterior bridges need to have appropriate length in protrusive to protect against porcelain ---. --- guidance should be maintained.
MI, lateral, and protrusive chipping Canine
38
Evaluation of Esthetics: Look at the angulation of the
facial -Do the pontics line up with the rest of the neighboring teeth?
39
Step back and view the patient from several feet away. (3)
-Is the appearance harmonious? -Is there anything else you could do to make it more esthetic? -Does the patient approve of the esthetics?
40
If you as the dentist are happy with the fit and esthetics, THEN
show the patient. Their approval (often as a signed consent) is necessary prior to cementation.
41
Polishing and Finishing Did you adjust the metal or porcelain? (3)
-Contacts? -Occlusion? -Pontic shape?
42
Final step prior to cementation is
polishing/finishing.
43
Final step prior to cementation is polishing/finishing. -Metal adjustments can be polished like
Gold. Brown and Green polishers work very well. Brown is Course and Green is fine. Two step polishing.
44
Try to stay away from polishing at the --- with these burrs. The colors can stay in the porcelain and contamination the porcelain porosities. It’ll look ugly!!
ceramic metal junction
45
If it is necessary to smooth or polish at the Metal-Ceramic junction:
-the burr/stone should be held perpendicular to the junction otherwise, the metal particles contaminate the porcelain decreasing the esthetics.
46
Polishing Porcelain: (2)
-Margin adjustment should be made perpendicular to the margin and rotation of polisher should be toward bulk of material. -Easiest to polish prior to cementation
47
Adjusting Ceramic -Use --- forces when inserting and testing the fit of Bridge -Do not overheat/create excess vibration. This leads to --- -Use fine diamonds -Use separate instruments for metal and porcelain. -Polish porcelain with diamond rubber points and then a fine diamond impregnated polishing paste
gentle microcracks and tends toward fracture
48
Important to keep the --- as much as possible while adjusting the metal or porcelain. Its too easy to grind away the high spots, polish them down, and insert. This leads to poor --- in other areas and can cause occlusal disharmony.

Conventional Cements aka Luting Cements (5)
-Zinc-oxide Eugenol (temporary cement) Temp Bond -Zinc Polycarboxylate (temporary cement) Durelon -Zinc Phosphate cement Gold Standard all cements are compared to -Glass ionomer cement -Resin Modified Glass Ionomer *** Most commonly used currently Rely-X Luting
50
What does luting mean?
The word ‘luting’ implies the use of a moldable substance to seal a space or to cement two components together (Anusavice, Shen, & Rawls 2003).
51
Luting Cement Characteristics: Advantages: (6)
-Adhesion to tooth substance and alloys -Easy manipulation -Strength -Solubility -Film Thickness properties comparable to Zinc Phosphate -Fluoride release
52
Luting Cement Characteristics: Disadvantages: (6)
-Needs accurate proportioning -Critical manipulation -Lower Compressive strength -Greater viscoelasticity than Zinc Phosphate -Short working time -Clean surfaces needed for best adhesion
53
Resin based Cements aka Adhesive Cements (4)
-Adhesive Resin Cement with Dentin Bonding Agent -Self-Etch -Self- Adhesive *** Self-Etch and Self-Adhesive resin cements bond to the tooth. (SpeedCem Plus)
54
-Adhesive Resin Cement with Dentin Bonding Agent
-Total or Selective Etch
55
-Self-Etch
-Self etching primer with no extra Dentin Bonding Agent
56
-Self- Adhesive
-No etch, no primer, no Dentin Bonding Agent
57
Resin based Cement Characteristics Advantages (3)
-High Strength -Low oral solubility -high micromechanical bonding to dentin, alloys and ceramic surfaces
58
Resin based Cement Characteristics Disadvantages: (6)
-Need for meticulous and critical technique -More difficult sealing -Higher film thickness -Possible leakage -Pulpal Sensitivity -Difficulty in removal of excess cement.
59
Resin based Cement Characteristics Adhesive Resin Cement -Requires use of -Dentin Bonding Agent bonds to --- and Resin Cement bonds to -Most -- cement system -Most -- -Used for -- restorations mostly
Dentin Bonding Agent tooth, Dentin Bonding Agent esthetic retentive Veneer
60
Resin based Cement Characteristics Self-Adhesive Resin Cements -Self-Etch Adhesive Resin Cement -Self-Adhesive Resin Cement -Resin Cement interacts -Generally creates
does not require a separate Dentin Bonding Agent but requires tooth pre-treatment in the form of a “Primer”. requires no Dentin Bonding Agent nor does it require a Self-Etch Primer pre-treatment. directly with the tooth surface higher bonds to dentin.
61
Resin Cements require a --- free environment
moisture
62
-A Resin Cement is required for
low-strength glass ceramics (Veneers)
63
Resin Modified Glass Ionomer cements are contra-indicated with
low- strength glass ceramics -These RMGI cements absorb water and expand as they set which could cause fracture of ceramics especially at the margins
64
RMGI cements need an adequate
retentive preparation
65
RMGI is great with (3)
metal, PFM, and Zirconia restorations.
66
Resin Cements are recommended for --- crowns to offset the brittle nature of glass ceramic.
eMax
67
RMGI cement is typically only used with IPS e.max when tooth preparations are
sufficiently deep axially and with margin thickness of at least 1mm. and retentive mechanically, and patients are highly caries-prone (geriatric, pediatric, etc.).

PFM Cementation -With adequate preparation retentive features (3) can be used -****--- is most commonly used
Zinc Phosphate, Glass Ionomer, or Resin Modified Glass Ionomer cement RMGI
73
Without totally adequate preparation retentive features, wonky occlusion, or bruxer, -- should be considered due to its increased strength. -With a PFM, Resin Cement that is (2) is a must.
Resin Cement Dual Cure or Self Cure
74
Glass Ceramic Cementation Due to strength of Glass Ceramics,
Resin Cement is the cement of choice. -Prefer Dual Cure or Self Cure
75
Restoration pre-cementation treatment -Internal Surface – -Typically this is done by the lab.
Hydrofluoric Acid Etch to roughen for micromechanical retention for e.Max or Feldspathic porcelain -***Sandblasting or diamond bur roughening would damage the surface of these ceramics
76
-Silane treatment in internal surface to enhance the
chemical bond between glass/ceramic/Resin Cement
77
Zirconia Cementation -With adequate preparation retentive features (3)can be used ****--- is most commonly used
Zinc Phosphate, Glass Ionomer, or Resin Modified Glass Ionomer cement RMGI
78
Zirconia Cementation Without totally adequate preparation retentive features, wonky occlusion, or bruxer --- Cement should be considered due to its increased strength.

79
Zirconia Cementation Internal Surface Pre-Treatment (2)
-Abrasion needed. Lab leaves internal too smooth. -Air abrasion or diamond Bur leaving horizontal roughened lines on internal walls
80
Zirconia Cementation Adhesive promoting agent can be used but must contain
MDP! -methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate.
81
Eugenol from some temporary cements will prohibit
polymerization of any composite Resin.
82
Acid etchant removes the --- residue.

83
Provisional cement residue occludes tubules and decreases
effective bonding.
84
Cleaning the tooth with -- removes the temporary cement residue.
pumice
85
Remember: -Follow the specific instructions for the cement you are using -Patient should close down on
soft cotton roll to help with seating of crown. DO NOT USE ANYTHING HARD FOR THIS STEP – Leads to fracturing -If occlusion does not permit solid pressure for crown seating, firm pressure from finger is used to fully seat crown until cement has cured on its own, or it has been light cured.
86
When using a curing light for a Resin Cement, seat the crown full of cement, and “---” the cement (2)
Tack -Turn on your curing light while on the facial margin and IMMEDIATELY turn it off. Place the curing light on the lingual and turn it on and IMMEDIATELY turn it off. -This allows you to partially cure the cement so it peels away
87
If you cure fully with too much excess, it will be very challenging to be able to
remove all the cement. You’ll need high speed handpieces and a whole lot of luck.
88
-Once excess is removed with hand instruments, floss to remove
interproximal excess. Once all cleaned, fully cure on facial, lingual, and move light around to cure the interproximal areas too.
89
Now that your prosthesis is cemented: -Recheck --- -Adjust if necessary -Use a fine Diamond with water to avoid excess --- -Polish with --- ***Take a Post-Cementation --- -Discuss --- with patient
occlusion heat diamond impregnated discs or points Radiograph OHI
