39
Features of Resistance Form
-shape and placement of cavity walls
-Box shaped preparation
- Flat pulpal and gingival floor (helps the tooth resist forces)
-Adequate thickness of material to not break the filling or the tooth
-don't extend too far so the marginal ridges are still strong
-include weak structure so it won't break
-round internal line angles reduce stress
40
In resistance form, amalgam requires a minimal thickness of ____
1.5 mm
41
In resistance form, porcelain requires a minimal thickness of ____
2mm
42
In resistance form, cast metal requires a minimal thickness of ____
1mm
43
In resistance form, composite/glass ionomer requires a minimal thickness of ____
2.5mm
44
Which tooth is the pulpal wall prepped NOT flat?
mand 1st premolar, because the lingual cusp is so small, the pulpal floor is parallel to imaginary line joined the tips of the B and L cusps.
45
Retention form
Shape and configuration of the tooth preparation that resists the displacement or removal of the restoration from the preparation while under the influence of lifting and tipping during masticatory forces.
46
Factors affecting retention:
-Amount of stresses falling on the restoration
-Thickness of the restoration
-Total surface area of the restoration exposed to the masticatory forces -Amount of remain tooth structure.
47
Means of retention for amalgam
Adhesive system provide retention by micromechanically bonding amalgam to tooth structure. Undercut dovetail. 2-5% dentinal walls converge towards the tooth surface.
48
Means of retention for cast metal
* Close parallelism of the opposing walls with slight occlusal
divergence of 2 – 5%
* Making occlusal dovetail to prevent tilting of restoration in class II preparations
* Use of secondary retention (if dentin is thick enough, extra grooves put in to give more surface area) in the form of coves, skirts and dentin slots.
49
Means of retention for composite
micro mechanical bonding between the etched and primed prepared tooth structure and composite resin, enamel bevels
50
Convenience form
the form in which the dentist must create to facilitates and provides adequate visibility, accessibility and ease of operation during preparation and restoration of the tooth. (So you can access it)
51
How does pulpal injury occur during prep?
* Heat production from hand pieces
*Irritating restorative materials
* Galvanic currents from dissimilar metals
* Excessive masticatory forces transmitted through restorative materials to the dentin
* Micro-leakage
52
Pulp protection is achieved by using
liners, varnishes, and bases
53
Grooves and Coves in Secondary Retentive Form
small depressions and grooves placed into healthy dentin to provide additional retention (slots, locks, skirts)
54
The final step in tooth preparation is cleansing of the preparation.
* Removal of debris
* Irrigate the prep
* Drying the preparation
* Final inspection before placing restorative materials
* Leaving debris in the preparation may result in microleakage which can result in secondary caries.
* Cleaning of prep can be done by using warm water.
* Immovable particles of debris can be removed with a small cotton
pellet dampened with water or hydrogen peroxide.
