Functional Cusp bevel has what function
Structural durability
Seating groove has what function
retenintion and resistance
Occulusal reduction on teh cusp has waht function? What is the proper name for this
Structural Durability

Planar occlusal reduction
Axial reduction has what function in an all metal

what about the rest of the preps
retention and resistance

the others are R&R and Structural Durability
What characteristics of a crown add retention and resistance
Axial reduction and seating groove
What characterisitcs of a crown add structural durability
Functional cusp bevel and planar occlusal reduction. If you didn't do this then you would have really thin metal in some parts that would lead to a fracture.
What type of crown has a predictable restorative outcome
Full cast crown
what is the average lifespan of a all metal crown
7-10 years
How is an all metal crown better than a partial veneer
higher resistance and retention
In what five situations should an all metal crown be used
when cusps need to be protected
a retainer for a FPD
non esthetic zone
all axial surfaces have caries
the existing restoration is on 4+ surfaces
What is the occlusal reduction on a full metal prep
1.5 on supporting
1.0 on non-supportin
Why is it important to keep the anatomy of the tooth
so that the crown is the same thickness everywhere, which will reduce fracture
An axial reduction of 1.0mm is seen on what type of prep
full metal
What odes overinclination cause
destroys the tooth and lowers retention
Why is it important to bevel
to keep the anatomy so that the crown is the correct thickness. If the lab goes ahead and puts the correct thickness then the occlusion would be off and you would trim it and then have a weak cusp
What is the correct path of insertion of a provisional?
perpendicular to the occlusal plane.

This should be taken into account when doing the prep, if the tooth is not in alignment adjacent teeth may get in the way of placing the prep so you need to reduce it in a way that you can place the provisional
What type of finish line is used with a PFM, why
shoulder (1.5) on the facial and a Chamfer (1.0)on the lingual

The facial must be larger because it has more layers as the metal is covered by and opaque, body and incisal layer of porcelain
What is the occlusal reduction on a PFM
1.5 - 2.0 mm
The lingual and Facial axial reduction of a posterior PFM crown have what function.

How is this different than a Full metal
Retention and resistance
Structural Durability

Axial reduction in a full metal does not aid in structural durability. It functions in retention and resistance.

How to remember: a PFM has a different front and back thus it requires extra structural durability and it achieves this through the axial reduction
The Chamfer on a posterior PFM has what added function that the shoulder does not have on the same prep
The chamfers function is in
Marginal Integrity
Structural Durability

Shoulder = marginal integrity
The occlusal reduction of a Posterior PFM is what?
What is it on the full metal
1.5 - 2.00

Full metal = 1.0-1.5

 Laboratory Fabrication of All-Ceramic Crowns:
o Complete prep, and make final impression; records and mater cast sent to the dental lab technician
o Block out is applied to the die
o Die spacer is applied to the die which provides space for the cement
o Sectional impression is fabricated
o Refractory/duplicate die is fabricated
o The finish line is demarcated in order to know where the end of the restoration should come to
o Die surface is sealed
o Porcelain powder is mixed and aluminum oxide coping is applied
o Particles are applied with a synthetic brush and carved to anatomical form; goes into oven where some shrinkage may occur; almost must over-apply on the porcelain
o Aluminum coping is placed into a furnace and glass infiltrate is applied
o Placed onto platinum foil and fired again
