Q

What is the definition of a precision attachment?

A

A male/female (patrix/matrix) type mechanism manufactured to precise tolerances utilized to securely and reversibly connect a dental prosthesis to a tooth or implant

2
Q

What are the three different attachment types?

A
  1. Overdenture

3
Q

What is the definition of an overdenture?

A

A removable dental prosthesis that is supported and or retained by natural tooth roots and or implants and mucosa

4
Q

What is an overdenture attachment?

A

A prefabricated mechanism for the support and or retention of a removable dental prosthesis, with the male and female components positioned between the coronal portion of natural tooth roots or implants and the intaglio surface of the prosthesis

Q

What type of attachments are Zest and ZAAG and how do they differ?

They are overdenture attachments. Canines can be cut off and a ball and socket on the denture is inserted into a groove on the canine. A ZAAG is a zest concept with the addition of a housing to facilitate replacement of the male

6
Q

What is a stud overdenture attachment?

A

A ball and socket type attachment in which the male component is attached to an abutment tooth or implant and the female component is retained within the intaglio surface of the removable prosthesis. A lot like the Zest but in reverse.

7
Q

What are the different types of stud overdenture attachments?

A

Castable, threaded cast-to, threaced direct bond, direct threaded, direct one-piece

Q

What is the definition of an intracoronal attachment?

A

A prefabricated mechanism for the support and or retention of a removable dental prosthesis, with the male and female components positioned within the normal contours of the abutment tooth

9
Q

What is the definition of an extracoronal attachment?

A

A prefabricated mechanism for the support and or retention of a removable dental prosthesis, with the male and female components positioned outside the normal contours of the abutment tooth

10
Q

What is a stress breaker/stress director?

A

A device or system that relieves specific dental structures of part or all of the occlusal forces and redirects those forces to other bearing structures or regions.

The cast metal coping on a PFM, crown and bridge copings, impression copings

17
Q

What are the different types of implant/abutment interfaces?

A
  1. Internal hex

  3. Internal bevel
  4. External bevel

Q

When was the Morse Taper invented and why?

A

Invented in 1864 by Stephen A. Morse, and it was developed to join two rotating machine components. It is a cone in cone joint. It is made up of a trunnion (male) and a bore (female).

19
Q

What did the research conclude regarding microbial leakage through the implant/abutment interface of Morse taper implants in vitro?

A

Both Morse taper implant connection systems, the tapped-in (Bicon) and screwed-in (Ankylos) showed bacterial leakage along the implant/abutment interface

20
Q

What are the advantages of partial-coverage gold?

A

Most conservative of all indirect restorations, compatible with opposing occlusion, biocompatible (type II), still the “gold standard”, appearance

21
Q

What are the disadvantages of partial-coverage gold?

A

Technique sensitive, cost, appearance

22
Q

What are the indications for a partial-coverage gold?

A

Teeth with moderate damage, but largely intact axial walls, patients who either want the gold look or do not mind the gold look, patients who from a functional standpoint want the finest, patients with excellent oral hygiene

23
Q

What are the contraindications for a partial-coverage gold?

A

Patients with low appreciation for fine dentistry, patients who either dislike or have reservations about gold display, and patients with poor plaque control habits

24
Q

What is the depth for a gold onlay functional cusp?

A

1.5 mm

25
Q

What is the depth for a gold onlay non-functional cusp?

A

1.0 mm

26
Q

What is the depth for a gold onlay functional cusp bevel?

A

1.5 mm

27
Q

What is the depth beyond occlusal reduction for an isthmus on a gold onlay?

A

0.5-1.0 mm

28
Q

What is the box depth beyond pulpal floor of isthmus for a gold onlay?

A

1.0 mm

29
Q

What is the width of the 360 marginal bevel on a gold onlay prep?

A

0.5 mm

30
Q

Dimensions of isthmus and boxes should not be determined by existing restorations and or caries. True or False?

A

False, they are often determined that way

31
Q

A

True

32
Q

What are the principles of gold onlays?

A

Adequate internal retention, beveled margin everywhere, base up to ideal, if indicated, with ideal being isthmus form and box form, this is our retention and resistance form

A

True. Stay within 6-10 degree range

34
