What are the 4 types of all ceramic crowns?
Feldspathic porcelain
Lithium disilicate
PFZ
Monolithic zirconia
What type of prep design?
Feldspathic porcelain
Lithium disilicate
ACC prep
What type of prep design?
PFM
PFZ
PFM prep
What type of prep design?
FMC
Monolithic zirconia
FMC prep
When are ACCs indicated?
Esthetics
Enough coronal dental structure to support restoration
When doing an ACC, ___________ on occluding surface should be supported by the abutment tooth
porcelain
Porcelain is relatively __________
weak/brittle
What type of crown should you do?
Tooth that has an extensive proximal and/or buccal restoration that can no longer be restored with composite
ACC
What type of crown should you do?
A more conservative restoration is inadequate
ACC
When are ACCs contraindicated? (7)
When a more conservative restoration is indicated
Posterior teeth
Discolored teeth
1mm margin is not possible
Occlusal load is unfavorable (edge-to-edge occlusion)
Parafunctional habits
Deep overbite
Why should you not put an ACC on posterior teeth?
High occlusal load/brittle porcelain
Ceramic can’t exceed more than 2mm in thickness
Why should you not put an ACC on discolored/stained teeth?
May alter final restoration shade
What are the 3 advantages of ACCs?
Superior esthetics (high translucency)
More conservative on facial surface (1mm) compared to PFM (1.5mm)
Shade can be modified by resin cement
What are the 2 multi-shaded resin cement systems?
Variolink esthetic
RelyX veneer
What are the 2 disadvantages of ACCs?
Not strong
Less conservative margin compared to PFM
Why are ACCs not as strong?
No metal/zirconia substructure
What is the MPa of feldspathic porcelain vs lithium disilicate?
Feldspathic porcelain: 100-150
Lithium disilicate: 360-400
What is the margin of ACC vs PFM crowns?
ACC: 1mm, 90 degree shoulder, deep chamfer
PFM: 0.5mm, feather edge, light chamfer
How many facial planes are there on anterior ACC preps?
2
What is the incisal edge reduction on anterior ACC preps?
1.5-2mm
What is the axial wall reduction on anterior ACC preps?
1-1.5mm
Why do you want a 90 degree shoulder or deep chamfer for ACC preps?
Prevents unfavorable distribution of stress
Minimize risk of fracture
Ideally, you want _______ contacts in the middle 1/3 of the __________ surface for an ACC prep
MIP; lingual
When prepping for an ACC, ____________ guidance should be smooth and consistent
anterior
