The document discusses the principles of tooth preparation for dental restorations. It covers biological principles like preventing damage, conserving tooth structure and considerations for future dental health. Mechanical principles discussed include providing retention form, resistance form and structural durability. Esthetic principles for metal-ceramic and partial coverage restorations are also covered. The objectives of tooth preparation are outlined as are factors like margin placement, adaptation and the biologic width. Current concepts in tooth preparation emphasize adequate occlusal reduction and resistance form.
The presentation depicts in a very simplified manner the steps of cavity preparation and restoration of class 3 and class 5 composite restoration. It is well supported with illustrations that further provide a better understanding of the topic.
In the last decades the development of the porcelain materials, the reliable bonding strength to enamel and dentin, and the bonding of resin cement to the porcelain through the silane, Porcelain laminates become trusted type of treatment in the daily practice.
It is an aesthetic treatment that concerns mainly the labial face of the anterior teeth, its thickness is about 0.3 mm in the cervical area to 0.4 -7 at the incisal third, in certain cases it can be done without any prep or just little touch of the enamel (lumineer), but in most prep is indicated to improve the adaptation in the cervical area also to remove the aprismatic enamel layer which which has low bonding strength with the resin cement, however prep should be in the enamel limits, 3 different type of prep are practiced, however, they are the same on the labial surface but the but the difference concerns the incisal edge.
In this lecture, indications and contraindications are exposed. All the materials in use and their indications as well as the clinical procedures are detailed.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility

4. Introduction
What is tooth preparation?
Mechanical treatment of dental disease or injury to hard
tissues that restore a tooth to original form
The process of removal of diseased and/or healthy enamel
and dentin and cementum to shape a tooth to receive a
restoration
5. OBJECTIVES OF TOOTH PREPARATION
Reduction of a tooth in miniature to provide
retainer support.
Preservation of healthy tooth to secure
resistance form.
Provision for acceptable finish lines.
Performing pragmatic axial tooth reduction to
encourage favourable tissue responses from
artificial crown contours.

8. Biologic Considerations
Prevention of damage during tooth
preparation
1. Adjacent Teeth
-damaged tooth even if reshaped and recontoured is
always more susceptible to caries
Less fluoride content
More plaque retention
9. • AVOIDED BY:
• Placing a matrix band interproximally
• leaving thin lip/ fin of enamel intact
Interproximally.
2.Soft Tissues :Aspirator tip , mouth mirror.
11. Causes of injury :
• Temperature : Friction – heat
• Zach &Cohen –
rise of 5.5 o C - 15% necrosis
rise of 11.1o C - 60% necrosis
rise of 16.6o C - 100% necrosis
AVOIDED BY: Feather edge touch
Water –air spray coolant
Slow-speed handpiece
Special Care While Preparing Grooves/ Pinholes.
12. • Chemical Action
-Bases, Restorative Resins, Solvents, and Luting
Agents.
AVOIDED BY: Cavity Varnish / Dentin Bonding Agents
• Bacterial Action
-Due to bacteria left behind after preparation or having
gained access to dentin due to microleakage.
AVOIDED BY: Removal of all carious dentin before
tooth preparation.
18. Margin Placement:
-A Supra-gingival Margin should be preferred over a Sub-
gingival Margin.
Advantages of a Supra-gingival Margin are:
Easily finished
Easily cleansible
Ease of impressions
Easy Evaluation
No trauma to the soft tissues.
19. Indications of Subgingival preparation
• Dental caries , cervical erosion
• Contact areas extended to gingival crest
• Retention
• Margin has to be hidden
• Root sensitivity
A
C B
20. Margin Adaptation –
• Recurrent caries – dissolution of cement
• Accurate adaptation
• Irregular or stepped junctions
BD
22. The distance from the epithelial attachment to the crest of
the alveolar bone is called as the “biologic width.” It is
normally about 2.04mm WIDE, INCLUDING THE
EPITHELIAL ATTACHMENT ( 0.97mm) AND THE
CONNECTIVE TISSUE ATTACHMENT (1.07mm).
23. When the margin of a restoration intrudes into the biologic
width, inflammatory and osteoclastic activity are stimulated.
24. Bone resorption will continue until the alveolar crest is at least 2.0mm
FROM THE RESTORATION MARGIN. The best outcome that can be
expected is that the epithelial and connective tissue attachments will
reestablish themselves at a more apical level. Continued inflammation
with pocket formation is likely.
28. Retention Form :
Magnitude of the dislodging forces
Geometry of the tooth preparation
Roughness of the fitting surface of the
restoration
Materials being cemented
Film thickness of the luting agent
29. Magnitude of the dislodging forces
Depends on the stickiness of food
Geometry of the tooth preparation –
prostheses depend on the geometric form rather
than - cements
Cement is effective only if the restoration
has a single path of withdrawal
30. Closed lower pair of kinematic elements
- Formed by two cylindrical surfaces
- curve of a complete crown - closed - grooves -
partial crown - prevent movement at right angles -
complete crown - over tapered - no longer be
cylindrical,
31. Taper -
Theoretically, maximum retention - parallel walls –
undercuts
Taper small – limited path of withdrawal
Ward - first to recommend taper of 3 to 12 °
Jorgensen and Kaufman - 2.5.to 6.5 ° - optimum
32. Freedom of Displacement.
Maximum retention - when there is only one
path ….long parallel axial walls
Definite wall perpendicular to the direction of
the force ….
Proximal box - Buccal and lingual wall…meet
the pulpal wall …near 90°
33. Length
More surface area - more retentive
Length - enough to interfere with the arc of the
casting
The shorter the wall - more important its
inclination.
The shorter walls - little taper
34. Path of insertion
Imaginary line along which the restoration will
be placed.
Survey a preparation …..12 inches
….preparation to be surveyed in the mouth -
½ inch above the preparation
35. For metal ceramic crowns, the path - parallel -
long axis of the teeth.
Partial Coverage Restorations
36. • Roughness of the Surfaces Being Cemented
• If Internal surface of a restoration is very smooth-retentive
failure occurs at the cement restoration interface
• Restoration is roughened or grooved.
• Air-abrasion - with 50 µm of alumina – 64% retention
Materials Being Cemented
• More reactive the alloy is, the more adhesion
• …Base metal alloys are better retained
37. Type Of Luting Agent
Adhesive resin cements are the most adhesive followed by
cements which bond with the tooth and zinc phosphate
cement.
Adhesive resin cements-long term deterioration-resin
dentin interface-NANOLEAKAGE
38. Resistance form:
Depends on
• Magnitude and direction of the dislodging forces
• Geometry of the tooth preparation
• Physical properties of the luting agent
39. Magnitude and Direction of the Dislodging
Forces.
Properly designed occlusion, the load should be
well distributed …
Geometry of the Tooth Preparation
Concept of resistance area(RA)
41. Hegdahl and Silness - Increased preparation taper and
rounding of axial angles tend to reduce resistance
Molar teeth require more
parallel preparation
43. Tylman suggests - proximal grooves just buccal to the
junction of the buccal and middle third of the proximal.
Johnston and associates and Vale - the groove as
buccal as possible but still within the original contact area.
Bassett and associates, Jones, Baum, and Shillinburg -
groove placement as buccal as possible.
44. Anthony H.L. Tjan, Gary D. Miller… J.P.D. 1981
discussed about two groove flare designs
referred to as Type I and Type II.
Type I groove-flare :
Fishhook design
Encroachment on pulp
Type II groove-flare :
placed into the dentin paralleling a line tangent
45. Biologic factors which influence the
choice of groove location
size and location of the pulp chamber
thickness of the enamel
direction of the enamel rods
alignment of the tooth involved
physical properties of the dental structure.
Maximum length - 0.5 mm short of the gingival margin.
46. Bowley and Lai ......Both grooves and boxes provided
significant improvement of total surface area for both the
3- and 4-mm vertical preparation heights.
Cambagni , Bernal, Goodacre and Kim .....The most
effective method of enhancing resistance form in a tooth
preparation that lacks resistance is to decrease the total
occlusal convergence of the cervical portion of the
prepared axial walls.
47. Physical Properties Of Luting Agents
Compressive strength of re-inforced ZnOE is halved at
mouth temperature.
Zinc Phosphate has high modulus of elasticity so retention
depends less on taper when compared to Zn
Polycarboxylate
Adhesive resin>Resin>Glass Ionomer>Zinc
Phosphate>Polycarboxylate
48. Structural durability
A restoration must contain a bulk of material that
is adequate to with stand the forces of occlusion.
This bulk must be confined to the space created by
the tooth preparation.
57. Incisal Reduction
incisal edge – no metal backing - translucency – 2mm
reduction.
Proximal Reduction
extent is contingent on the location of metal-
ceramic junction.
Proximal surface with no metal backing at the
incisal edge – looks most natural
58. Low lip line
Collarless Metal collar
Patient’s smile - initial examination
High lip line
Margins - not to be placed so far apically -
encroach on the attachment.
59. Supragingival margin - Easier to keep clean
Subgingival margins - Indicated for esthetic
reasons - when the patient has a high lip line
60. Partial-coverage restorations :
Proximal margin : …place the margin just buccal
to proximal contact area - metal - hidden by the
distal line angle.
Tooth preparation angulation
61. Facial margin :
Just beyond the occlusofacial line angle.
A short bevel is needed to prevent enamel chipping
If buccal margin - correctly shaped, no reflection of
light
Mandibular partial cast crowns - metal display is
unavoidable
A chamfer, rather than a bevel, is recommended for the
buccal margin
62. Current Concepts
Tooth preparations for complete
crowns: An art form based on scientific
principles
Charles Goodacre
63. 1. The total occlusal convergence, ideally should range between 10
and 20 degrees.
2. 3 mm should be the minimal occlusocervical /incisocervical
dimension of incisors and premolars prepared within the
recommended 10 to 20 degrees of total occlusal convergence.
3. The minimal occlusocervical dimension of molars should be 4 mm
when prepared with 10 to 20 degrees total occlusal convergence.
4. The ratio of the occlusocervical/incisocervical dimension of a
prepared tooth to the faciolingual dimension should be at least 0.4 or
higher for all teeth.
64. 5. Whenever possible, teeth should be prepared so that the
facioproximal and linguoproximal corners are preserved.
6. Teeth without natural circumferential morphology after tooth
preparation (round teeth) or teeth that lack adequate resistance
form should be modified with the creation of grooves/boxes.
7. Many molars need auxiliary grooves or boxes to enhance
resistance form because of their short occlusocervical dimensions
and the unfavorable ratio of the occlusocervical dimensions to the
faciolingual dimensions.
8. Axial grooves/boxes should be used routinely when mandibular
molars are prepared for fixed partial dentures, and they should be
located on the proximal surfaces.
65. 9. When tooth conditions and esthetics permit, finish lines should
be located supragingivally.
10. When subgingival finish lines are required, they should not be
extended to the epithelial attachment.
11. Chamfer finish lines approximately 0.3 mm deep are well suited
for all-metal crowns.
12. Both shoulder and chamfer finish lines can be used with all-
ceramic crowns if the crowns are bonded to the prepared teeth.
Depths greater than 1 mm are not required when a
semitranslucent type of allceramic crown is used.
66. 13. Axial and occlusal reductions for all-metal crowns should be at
least 0.5 mm deep and 1.0 mm deep, respectively.
For metal-ceramic crowns, Facial /axial reductions in excess of 1
mm can compromise the remaining tooth structure external to the
pulp, whereas 2.0 mm of occlusal reduction is commonly
achievable even on a young tooth.
With all-ceramic crowns, it is not necessary to exceed 1 mm of
axial reduction with semitranslucent systems and higher value,
lower chroma shades.
2 mm incisal/occlusal reduction for allceramic crowns.
67. 14. Line angles should be rounded on all-ceramic tooth
preparations to reduce stress in the definitive
restoration.
With crowns that use metal, the primary purpose of line
angle rounding is to facilitate pouring impressions and
investing wax patterns without trapping air bubbles
and to facilitate removing casting modules.
15. Smooth tooth preparation appears to enhance the fit
of restorations. Surface roughness generally
increases retention with zinc phosphate cement, but
its effect with adhesive cements (polycarboxylate,
glass ionomer, resin) has not been as definitely
determined.
69. On tooth preparation depends
Pulp vitality
Periodontal health
Good esthetics
Proper occlusion
Protection of remaining tooth
Longevity of the restoration

Sadly the teeth do not possess this power, so we have to be careful while removing tooth structure….and as the saying goes…the eyes don’t see what the mind doesn’t know…so we have to understand the basic principles of tooth preparation to enble us to conserve tooth structure and give a accepatble restoration.
“mechanical treatment of dental disease or injury to hard tissues that restore a tooth to original form” the process of removal of diseased and/or healthy enamel and dentin and cementum to shape a tooth to receive a restoration
All 3 factors to be considered simultaneously……undue attention to one may lead to Poor Preparation eventually leads to greater plaque accum and thus impedes the longetivity of the restoration. Tooth preparations affects adjacent teeth, soft tissues, tooth pulp.
Pulpal damage has occurred 2 years following tooth preparation. Suggesting that utmost care should be taken while preparing the tooth in regards to the pulp protection

A existing restoration has to be included
B contact areas
C margin has to be hidden for PFM

Forces which unseat a restoration are small in comparison to the ones which seat it…..
Experienced when flossin under the connectors
Taper is defined as the convergence of 2 opposing external walls of a tooth preparation as viewed in a given plane
A groove whose walls meet at an oblique angle wil not be retentive..the lingual wall should be well defined same with a proximal box
The path of insertion has 2 dimensions….faciolingual and mesiodistal….
Failure rarely occurs at the tooth cement interface so deliberately roughening the surface of the preparation is not recommended
Features of a tooth preparation that enhance the stability of a restoration and resist dislodgment along an axis other than the path of placement.
Resistance against horizontal and oblique forces
…HOWEVER WITH PARAFUNCTIONAL HABITS CERTAIN OBLIQUE FORCES R APPLIED
Preparation with longer walls-better resistance…..short restoration on short preparation-better resistance……..
For the same prep height a narrower diameter prep has better resistance because of a steeper arc…while more diameter prep has a gradual arc so less resistance
Normal….inadequate axial reduction-leads to overcontoured restoration
Probably the most important factor from the patients point of view….but the clinician should consider other factors…
The patient’s informed consent shud be taken before startin the treatment n the potential esthetics after the restoration should be discussed…
