restorative dentistry examples | initial or recurrent decay, abrasion, erosion, restoring function of tooth |
esthetic dentistry examples | discolouration, abnormal spacing between teeth, trauma |
cavity wall | internal surface of the tooth prepared for the restoration |
internal wall | cavity wall that does not extend to the external tooth surface |
external wall | surface of tooth prep that extends to the external tooth surface |
what surfaces are involved with the external wall | distal, mesial ,facial, lingual, gingival, buccal |
what surfaces are involved with the internal wall | axial wall, pulpal wall |
pulpal wall is AKA | pulpal floor |
line angle | angle formed by the junction of 2 walls /surface in a cavity prep |
in the initial cavity prep, the outline form is when the dentist decides | the design and initial depth of sound tooth structure |
in the initial cavity prep, the resistance form is when the dentist determines the | primary shape and placement of cavity walls |
initial cavity prep, retention form: the dentist knows | where to place retention to prevent displacement or removal (helps mechanically lock into place) |
initial cavity prep, convenience form: the dentist has | accessibility in preparing and restoring tooth |
final cavity prep consists of 3 things | removal of any remaining enamel within prep, 2. insert additional resistance and retention notches, 3. placing dental materials (liners/bases) |
class I restorations | lesions affecting pit and fissures |
class II restorations | extension of class I lesions into the proximal surfaces of premolars and molars |
class III restorations | affects the proximal surface of incisors and canines |
class IV | involves a larger surface area, incised edge and proximal surface of incisors and canines |
class V restorations | decayed lesions at the gingival third |
complex restorations | where the decay has extended beyond normal size or shape |
