3. Problem zones in the restoration of a tooth
with a crown
Everywhere, where the crown comes in contact with neighboring
tissues
-Finishing line
-Approximal
-Occlusal
8. Problem zones II
Mesial contour slightly concave, distal outline
slightly convex
Concave recovery below the
proximal
9. Problem zones III
The ratio of transverse diameter to
transverse cusp spacing on average 2-1
Measurement of the cusp-fossa
depth
Fossa depth and intercuspation
depth
Incorrectly designed occlusal
surface
14. How should the finishing line be like?
a) Chamfer finish line
b) Shoulder finish line
c) Bevel finish line
d) Featheredge margin
e) Shoulder with bevel finish line
15. a b c
a) Featheredge margin
b) Chamfer finish line
c) Bevel finish line
20. Depth of cut:
1.Diamond ring = 0.6 mm
2.Diamond ring = 0.8 mm
3.Diamond ring = 1 mm
4.Diamond ring = 1.3 mm
Depth-orientation grooves:
Round diamond wheels
The depth grooves are initially of 1mm
to allow more reduction during finishing
21. Occlusal surface reduction:
with
Oblong diamonds (football) while
preserving the occlusal
configuration
Tooth structure remaining between
the grooves is removed in two
steps using oblong diamonds and
tapered diamond
22. ca. 80% adjacent teeth
)partilly damaged(
Thin tapered diamond (flame)
proximal dissolve:
A metal matrix band around the
adjacent tooth for protection
Inadequate axial reduction can cause
thin restoration walls i.e. weak casting
25. Finishing:
Straight cylinder diamond with a
tapered point (finishing bur)
Smooth preparation surfaces will
aid all fabrication phases as
impression, wax technique…….
26. To examine a preparation for undercuts, one eye should
be closed
If both eyes are open when the preparation is viewed,
undercuts may remain undetected
Preparations in the mouth are viewed through a mouth
mirror using one eye.
48. 1.No axial alignment preparation
2.Finishing line <gutter<
3.Very broad or very narrow shoulder preparation
4.Very conical preparation → pulp!!
5.Unevenly, very littel or a lot of substance removal → pulp!!
Failure mode
58. A subgingivalen preparation must be
-Inadequately retention
-Patients with high caries risk / activity
-Aesthetic requirement
-Caries, erosion or restoration
-Root sensitiviy!!!
One or more of these reasons make for about 75% of the patients!
)Gernet et al 1984 u.a.(
59. The minimum height of a
prepared tooth = 3-4 mm
)Angle of preparation
ca. 6 deg.(
