Tooth preparation
The mechanical treatment of dental disease or injury to
hard tissues that restores a tooth to original form.
-Tylman
The process of removal of diseased and/or healthy
enamel and dentin and cementum to shape a tooth to
receive a restoration.

Need for tooth preparation
o Teeth do no possess the regenerative ability found in
most other tissues.
o Hence, once enamel or dentin is lost as a result of
caries, trauma or wear, restorative materials must be
used to reestablish form and function.
o … teeth requires preparation to receive restoration.

Definition-
Physiological dimension
of junctional epithelium
and connective tissue
attachment above the
level of alveolar crest.

Significance of biologic width
o Ectodermal tissues
o Teeth and implants - As barrier and prevents
the penetration of microorganisms into
periodontium.
o Remove any irritation that may damage
periodontium.

o Bone loss of unpredictable
nature
o Gingival tissue recession
Body attempt to recreate a
room between alveolar bone
and margin to allow space for
tissue reattachment.

c. Considerations affecting future
dental health
Improper preparations – adverse effect on long term
dental health.
o Insufficient axial reduction – over contoured
restoration – hampers plaque control – periodontal
disease and dental caries.
o Inadequate occlusal reduction – poor form, occlusal
dysfunction.
o Poor choice of Margin location.

Margin placement guidelines…
oIf probing depth 0.5mm or less – margin 0.5mm below
the crest.
oIf >1.5mm – margin half the depth of sulcus below the
crest.
oIt >2.0mm – gingivectomy.

3. Margin adaptation

on the virtual/die.
– A distinct boundary to which the wax pattern can be
finished or the design terminated.
– Sufficient bulk of material.
– Conservation of tooth structure.
29

o According to El Ebrashi et al, acceptable stress
distribution and an adequate seal.
o Enhances accurate die trimming for technical
fabrication of cast restorations.

36
Instrumentation -

2. Heavy chamfer or deep chamfer
Salient features:
 To provide a 90⁰ cavosurface angle with a large
radius rounded internal angle. The radius of
curvature equals the depth of reduction.
 A bevel can be added for use with a metal
restoration.
37

38
Instrumentation -

3. Classic shoulder
Salient features:
 Wide ledge provides resistance to occlusal forces and
minimizes the stress that might lead to # of porcelain.
 Usage increased after introduction of ‘injectable
ceramic’ crowns such as Dicor and Cerestore.
39
Tylman’s. Theory and practice of fixed prosthodontics. 8th edition, All
India publishers and distributors 2002.

40
Instrumentation -
Advantages Disadvantages Indications
• Bulk of material
• Permits more latitude
for gingival contour of
cast restorations
• Less conservative of
tooth structure
• Stress concentration at
90⁰ internal line angle,
hence conductive of
coronal fracture.
• Facial margin of metal
ceramic crown
• Complete ceramic
crown

4. 120⁰ sloped shoulder
Salient features:
o Reduces the possibility of leaving unsupported
enamel but leaves sufficient bulk to allow thinning of
the metal framework to a knife edge for acceptable
esthetics.

5. Radial shoulder
Salient features:
 Modified form of shoulder finish line.
 The radius of curvature equals 1/4th to 1/5th the
depth of axial reduction.
42

43
Instrumentation -

 Finite element analysis of preparation finish lines.
 Deep chamfer will produce slightly less stress than a
radial shoulder , it only amounts to a 7% decrease.

6. Shoulder with bevel
Salient features:
 The angle of bevel approaches
the path of insertion of
restoration and improves
marginal adaptation.
45

Indications:
1. Proximal box of inlays and onlays.
2. Occlusal shoulder of onlays and mandibular 3/4th
crown.
3. Facial finish line of PFM where esthetic is not
critical.
4. Shoulder is already present because of caries or
restoration.
5. Extremely short walls as it facilitates axial walls that
are nearly parallel.

d. Occlusal considerations
o Supra-erupted or tilted teeth.
o Considerable reduction to compensate supra
eruption of abutment.
o May shorten tooth preparation axial wall height with
associated mechanical consequences such as
reduced retention and resistance.

e. Preventing tooth fracture

B. Mechanical considerations
1. Retention form
2. Resistance form
3. Preventing deformation
52

Factors affectingretention…
1. Magnitude of the dislodging forces
2. Geometry of tooth preparation
1) Taper
2) Surface area
3) Stress concentration
4) Type of preparation
3. Roughness of the finishing surface of
restoration
4. Materials being cemented
5. Film thickness and properties of the luting
agent
54

1. Magnitude of dislodging forces
….Exerted by elevator muscle depends upon,
- Stickiness of food
- Surface area & surface texture of restoration

o Cement
o Cylindrical preparation

(i) Taper
o Angle of convergence.
o Undercut.
o Optimum 2.5⁰ to 6.5 ⁰.
 Too small a taper – unwanted
undercut
 Too large a taper – lack of
retention

Significance:
1. Easy path of insertion
2. Visualization of finish line
3. To compensate casting shrinkage
59

Jorgensen & Kaufman et al – retention decreases as
taper increases

o Ward, 5% to 20% per inch (3 to 12 degree).
o Only a slight increase in stress as taper is increased
from 0 to 15 ⁰. However at 20 ⁰, stress concentration
increases sharply.
o Ohm and Silness,

Path of insertion
o Is an imaginary line along which the restoration will
be placed onto or removed from the preparation.
o Visual survey ensures – preparation is neither
undercut or over tapered.

o Center of occlusal surface of preparation is viewed
with one eye from a distance of 30 cm (12”).
o Binocular vision avoided – undercut preparation can
appear to have an acceptable taper.
edition, Quintessence Publishing Co 2012. 64

Considered in two dimensions:
1. Faciolingually: affects the esthetics of metal ceramic
or partial veneer crowns.
Posterior 3/4th crown – parallel to long axis of tooth.
Anterior 3/4th crown – parallel to incisal 1/2 of the
labial surface.

2. Mesiodistally: parallel to contact areas of
adjacent teeth.
Tilted tooth – locked out.

(ii) Surface area
• Length of path of placement – surface area that is in
sliding contact.
• Tall v/s short axial wall, molar v/s premolar.
• Surfaces where crown is pulled away – less retention.
• Can be increased by adding groove.

(iii) Stress concentration
o Cohesive failure of cement.
o Sharp occlusoaxial line angles – rounded.

(iv) Type of preparation

Auxiliary retentive features
o Basic unit of retention – opposing axial walls with minimal
taper.
o Opposing walls not available for use:
Severely mutilated tooth structure.
Partial veneer crowns
Greater than desirable inclination.
70

Principles of substitution
1. The central “core” (pulp and 1
mm thick surrounding layer of
dentin) must not be invaded in
vital teeth.
No retentive features should extend
further into the tooth than 1.5mm at
cervical line or from central fossa.
If caries removal – deeper cavity – any
part lying within vital core should be
filled with GIC.
71

2. No walls of the dentin should be reduced to
thickness less than its height for the sake of
retention.
May preclude the use of full veneer crown.
Or if used, might require core or foundation
restoration.
72

a. Box forms
o Substituted the grooves.
o Indication - Small to moderate interproximal caries or prior
restoration.
o Dual purpose – caries removal + retention.
o Large amount of tooth reduction - Not used on an intact surface.
73

b. Grooves
o Indication: Short axial walls.
o Salient feature: Placed on a vertical walls of bulk tooth structure,
at least 1mm wide and deep and as long as possible.
o Multiple grooves as effective as box.
o Oversized box – when facial and lingual walls are too apart.
o Too many – adversely affect seating of full veneer crown.
74

c. Pins
o Increase length internally and apically.
o Used in two ways:
75
Parallel pins Non Parallel pins

Guidelines for drilling pin holes:
1. Placed in sound dentin.
2. Enamel should not be undermined.
3. Perforation into periodontal membrane should be
avoided.
4. Pulp should not be encroached upon.
76

Salient features:
Pinholes – placed vertically in shoulders or ledges
halfway between the outer surface of tooth and the
pulp surrounded by at least 0.5mm of dentin.
o Safest location – line angles of corner of teeth.
o Least desirable area – midway between corners,
especially in region overlying the furcation.
o Pulp – Endo; Perforation to sulcus – exposed with
surgical flap and smoothen.
77

3. Roughness of the surface being
cemented
o When internal surface of restoration – very smooth –
retentive failure – between cement restoration
interface.
o Retention increased - if restoration is roughened or
grooved. Air abrasion – 50um of alumina OR Acid
etching.
o Rare failure at cement to tooth interface.

4. Materials being cemented
o Affected by
Type of casting alloy
Any core or buildup material on axial wall of crown
preparation
o More reactive the alloy -
more adhesion
o Base metal alloy –
better retained

5. Luting agent
a. Type of luting agent
Adhesive resin cement are most retentive.

 Resistance form
 Preventing deformation
Esthetic
o Biologically oriented preparation technique (BOPT)
o References
o Conclusion
87

Factors affectingresistance…
1. Magnitude and direction of the
dislodging forces
3. Physical properties of luting agent
89

1. Magnitude and direction of dislodging
forces
o Normal occlusion - biting force distributed all over tooth;
most of it is axially directed.
o Fixed prosthesis – load should be well distributed and
favorably directed.
o Bruxism and pipe smokers
o Withstand oblique and axial forces.
o Occlusal forces – 50-65lb.

Resistance is a function of relationship between
1. Axial wall taper (1/α)
2. Preparation diameter (1/α)
3. Preparation height (α)

(i) Taper
• 5-22⁰ - clinically acceptable range.

(ii) Preparation diameter
Arc of displacement

(iii) Preparation height
Freedom of displacement
• 3-mm preparation height provides adequate
resistance, if taper is restricted to 10⁰ or less.
• Molar crown – minimal preparation height 3.5-4mm.

o Partial coverage v/s complete coverage restorations.
o Grooves and/or boxes.
o Grooves of greater depth at cervically than occlusally
for excessively tapered preparations.

96
Grooves - Oblique v/s perpendicular walls
Box - Oblique v/s perpendicular walls

3. Physical properties of luting agent
Compressive strength and modulus of elasticity.

Compressive strength:
To satisfy ADA sp. No. 96, the compressive strength
of ZnP cement must exceed 70MPa at 24 hours. GIC
and most resins have higher compressive strength.
Increasing temperature – effect on compressive
strength. Eg: ZnOE – room temperature (23⁰C) to
body temperature (37⁰C) halves the compressive
strength of reinforced ZnOE cement; rise in temp to
50⁰C (hot food) reduces it over 80%.

Modulus of elasticity:
ZnP cement > Zn Polycab ( exhibits relatively large
plastic deformation).
Therefore, Retentive ability of Zn Polycarb cement is
more dependent on taper of preparation than is the
retention with ZnP.

C. Preventing deformation..
101

1. Alloy selection
Type III & IV gold alloys.
They are harder and their strength and hardness can
further be increased by heat treatment.

2. Adequate tooth reduction
(Structural durability)
Even the stronger alloys need sufficient bulk, if they are
to withstand occlusal forces.
 Occlusalreduction
 Functionalcusp bevel
 Axialreduction

3. Margin design
o Avoid occlusal contact – keeping preparation margins
approx. 1 to 1.5 mm away from occlusal contact.
o Feather edge v/s Chamfer – bulk of restoration.
o Grooves or ledges – partial coverage crown.
o Pin ledge restoration.
