Indirect Restorations Flashcards

1
Q

A 19-year-old patient attends your practise on Monday morning having sustained trauma to teeth 12 and 11 on
Saturday evening. Tooth 12 is completely missing the crown and has a sub-alveolar fracture. Tooth 11 has a pulpal
exposure of 2 mm. Both teeth are experiencing sensitivity.
Discuss FOUR steps in the immediate management of tooth 11 (4)

A

Locate the missing fragment of tooth, LA and rubber dam, Pulpotomy (tooth is sensitive) - Access, Remove coronal
pulp, Achieve haemostasis using cotton wool and water, If haemostasis achieved place CaOH in canal, Seal with GIC,
Composite dentine bandage, If unable to achieve haemostasis (i.e. non-vital) – pulpectomy, Restore in the same way
as above

Q

Tooth 12 has a subalveolar fracture and is rendered Unrestorable. Why is a subalveolar fracture important in
making the tooth Unrestorable? (4)

A

Lack of coronal tissue to bond to/support restoration/retain restoration, Inability to achieve moisture control for
restoration, Inability to take impression for indirect restoration, Hard to establish marginal integrity/difficulty
cleaning

Q

The bridge de-bonded on abutment tooth 12 but not on abutment tooth 21. The de-bonded wing on the 12
became a plaque trap leading to caries and ultimately causing pain. Name a better alternative bridge design for
this patient and explain why your design would be better. (2

A

Adhesive cantilever bridge from tooth 21
If this de-bonded it would fall out, it wouldn’t become a plaque trap and wouldn’t lead to caries

Q

A patient attends with trauma to 11 and 12 that happened 2 days ago. The 12 crown is completely missing and has
a fracture below bone. The 11 has a pulpal exposure of 2mm. Both teeth are +ve to vitality tests. What is your
immediate management of 11?

A

Local anaesthetic for pain relief. Radiograph to assess any other pathology. Check for soft tissue damage and account
for any missing bits of tooth. As the exposure is large and over 24 hours a direct pulp cap is NOT indicated →
pulpotomy or pulpectomy. Can remove coronal pulp and dress w/ setting calcium hydroxide and reassess at n/v

Q

A patient attends with trauma to 11 and 12 that happened 2 days ago. The 12 crown is completely missing and has
a fracture below bone. The 11 has a pulpal exposure of 2mm. Both teeth are +ve to vitality tests. 12 is deemed unrestorable. Why?

A

Subcrestal fracture makes the tooth impossible to restore satisfactorily. It will be difficult to gain a suitable seal and
this will leave the tooth vulnerable to 2° caries and bacteria reaching the pulp space via dentinal tubules. The tooth
has a closed apex at 19 years old so is not very vascular and unlikely to regain vitality

  • Maximum of 1:1 post length/crown height ratio
75
Q
  • Give 2 materials used to cement post and core
A

87
Q
  • What are the principles of crown preparation?
A
  • Preservation/conservation of tooth structure
  • Avoid weakening tooth structure and damaging pulp
  • Balance between retention, resistant and structure durability
  • Retention and resistance
  • Retention prevents removal of restoration along path of insertion or long axis of tooth prep – improved by limiting number of paths of insertion
  • Resistance prevents dislodgement of restoration by forces directed in an apical or oblique direction and prevents any movement of restoration under occlusal forces
  • Tapering inclination of opposing walls 6o
  • Length of walls to prevent tipping displacement
  • Path of insertion should be set before prep has begun
  • Structural durability
  • Restoration must contain bulk of material adequate to withstand forces of occlusion. It must provide enough space for a crown to prevent fracture, distortion or perforation
  • Achieved through occlusal reduction; functional cusp bevel and axial reduction
  • Marginal integrity
  • Prepare finish line configurations to accommodate robust margin with close adaption to minimise microleakage (chafer or shoulder finish)
  • Preservation of the periodontium
  • Shape the preparation such that the crown is not over contoured, smooth and its margin is accessible for optimum oral hygiene
  • Aesthetic considerations
  • Create sufficient space for aesthetic veneers where indicated – colour of surrounding teeth and facial symmetry and lip line considerations
88
Q
  • What are the stages of crown preparation?
A
  • Occlusal reduction - Retain some occlusal morphology taking into consideration relative thickness of crown material using tapered fissure bur or rugby ball
  • Separation - Use long tapered bur to separate from adjacent teeth
  • Buccal reduction - Prepare in 2 planes; shoulder for 1st reduction and then the 2nd for 2nd reduction but reduction follows the incline of tooth ensuring to avoid buccal pulp horn and should follow gingival contour
  • Palatal or lingual reduction - Completed in 1 plane for posterior and follows palatal contour for anteriors using chamfer bur
  • Shoulder or chamfer finish - Tampered bur to finish margins and smooth any lips of enamel/dentine
  • Check occlusal surface and clearance - Occlusion should be in ICP and excursion movements and have sufficient occlusal clearance
89
