Q

What is the classical design for posterior tooth replacement?

A

Classical design:
180 degrees axial coverage
Rest seats adjacent to the pontic area
Tooth preparation to create guide planes nearly
always essential
Guide planes close to parallel - 6-10 degrees
Occlusal coverage - 0.7mm - provides greater security
Making use of relative
axial tooth movement

23
Q

How many abutments are necessary for a bridge?

A

Double abutments can increase the risk of loss of cementation

24
Q

Why can double abutting be a disaster for bridges?

A

When pontics flex secondary abutmens are placed in tension and may debond
Sometimes its necessary however the distal wall of the secondary butment should offer very good resistance form
Tensile forces are transmitted to distal retainer
Cemebt failure
Caries of distal retainer

25
Q

Describe a spring-cantilever bridge?

A

Obsolete

26
Q

Describe the conventional fixed-fixed bridge?

A

Pontic is connected to 2 retainers
Not conservative
Less torque compared with cantilever
Better for longer spans, and heavy occlusal loads
Significant biomechanical and biological issues

27
Q

Explain the requirements for a fixed-fixed conventional bridge?

A

All joints are soldered or cast in one piece to connect all abutment teeth
Requires good retention at either end of soab
Preps must be parallel
Single path of insertion and removal

28
Q

How can taper affect the bridge retention?

A

An increase in taper leads to decreased resistance form and increased stress on the cement lute

29
Q

Describe the occlusal forces for a bridge?

A

The direction of occlusal forces is dependant on position in the arch
Distance and direction of tooth movement during function translate to stress on lute
In fixed-fixed designs each abutment should provide equivalence of retention

30
Q

What are the risks associated with fixed-fized designs?

A

Decementation of the retainer

31
Q

Why does a fixed-fixed bridge need more resistance form?

A

Due to the rotational arc of displacement is increased

32
Q

Describe fixed-movable designs of a bridge?

A

Short spans
Alignment of abutments
Quality of abutments
Independent mobility of teeth
Advantage for short posterior spans

A stress breaker
Angled abutments
Provisions for failure

Needs modification to tooth prep

33
Q

Name the different types of retainers?

A

3/4 gold crown
Full veneer crown
- gold
- mcc
- ceramic

34
Q

Describe the Shillingberg’s principles of tooth prep

A

Preserve tooth structure
Structural durability of restoration
Retention and resistance form
Marginal integrity
Preservation of the periodontium
Aesthetics

35
Q

Name the pros and cons for a 3/4 crown for a retainer in a bridge?

A

More conservative than a full veneer crown
Retention/resistance porter than full veneer
Structurally weaker due to open face
Modest chamfer and occlusal reduction
Long margin for failure
Supragingival margins
Aesthetics

36
Q

Name the pros and cons for a full veneer gold crown for a retainer in a bridge?

A

Requires prep of all coronalmtissue
Very good retention and resistance
Strong structurally
Burnish margins to achieve good adaption
Preserve periodontium
Poor Aesthetics

37
Q

Name the pros and cons for a metal cermaic crown for a retainer in a bridge?

A

Requires prep of all coronal tooth tissue
Verg good retention/resistance
Strong structurally
Destructive prep
Preserve periodontium
Good aesthetics

38
Q

Name the pros and cons for a all ceramic crown for a retainer in a bridge?

A

Abutments need heavy prep to give greater taper and thicker cermaic layer
Good resistance and retention
Structural durability
Very aesthetic

39
Q

Name the 4 factors affecting the selection of abutments teeth?

A

Suitability of patient
Suitability of oral environment Suitability of position of abutment
Suitbailiry of tooth and supporting structures

40
Q

How to assess the suitabilitybif a patient for a bridge?

A

MH
PDH
SH

41
Q

How to assess the suitability of the oral environment?

A

HT Charting
Peridontal charting
Parafunction
Occlusion

42
Q

How to assess the tooth for a bridge?

A

Special tests
Investigations

43
Q

How to assessnthe suitability of the position of the tooth for a bridge?

A

Bridge mechanics:
- length of span (Ante law)
Curvature of span
Angulation of teeth
Position of span in arch

44
Q

How can the length of span affect your bridge?

A

No more than 2 pontics for fixed fixed and 1 for cantilever

45
Q

Describe Ante’s Law?

A

The root surface area of the abutmentntooth should be equal or surpass that of the teeth being replaced with pontics

46
Q

Why should you avoid long span bridgework?

A

Flex = stress to abutment and cement lute
Places increases load on PDL
Any bridge replacing more than 2 units high risk

47
Q

Equation for flexibility?

A

PL3/
EDW

P - load
L - length
E - modulus of elasticity
D - dimension perpendicular to load
W - dimension laralll to load

48
Q

How can curvature of the span affect the bridge?

A

Pontics lying outside of the interabutment axis will act as a lever

49
Q

How can angulation of a tooth affect the bridge?

A

To achieve parallelism prep misg be very heavy
Non axial loading of teeth can cause occlusal trauma

50
Q

Support requirements for an abutment teeth?

A

Root configuration
- surface area
Length of clinical crown
Crown to root ratio:
- ideal 1:2
- good 2:3
- acceptable 1:1

51
Q

Why are root filled teeth bridges more likely to fail?

A

Vulnerable to fracture
- coronal access removes roof of pulp chamber
- canal prep reduces bulk of dentine
- posts even worse

52
Q

What to assess for an abutment tooth?

A

Occlusal forces
Integrity of existing restoration
Crown height
Caries
Periodontal support
Pulpnheslth
Endonstatis
Root fillings?
Post and cores?
Periapical status
Crown toot rariib

53
Q

Describe the ideal occlusion for a bridge?

A

Posterior stability
incisal/canine guidance
Absence of posterior interference on mandibular movement

54
Q

Describe what is involved for pontic design?

A

Ridge lap
Modified ridge lap
Bullet
Ovate
Hygienic

55
Q

Deacribe a hygienic pontic for a bridge?

A

Better for perio health, space for flossing
Not aesthetic
Food trapping

A

Wide embrasures to facilitate cleaning
