1. Outline form
2. Resistance form
3. Retention form
4. Convenience form
5. Removal of remaining decay
6. Finishing of enamel margins and walls
7. Cleansing of the cavity
7 steps in cavity preparations
outline form
refers on the extent of the preparation on the surface of the tooth
carrying it will occupy in the finished restoration
1. Pits and fissures
2. Proximal surfaces
3. Gingival third of the facial and lingual surfaces
caries susceptible areas
1. The proximal line angles
2. All smooth surfaces, above (incisal or occlusal to) the height of contour. Caries immunity occurs beneath the free gingival area.
cleansing area (by saliva, food, lips, tongue)
resistance form
refers to the internal form of the cavity which enables the tooth and restoration to best resist or withstand the forces of mastication
adequate depth = .5 - 1 mm into sound dentin
must have smooth and usually flat pulpal and axial walls which meet the remaining walls at a definite but rounded angles
surrounding walls are parallel to the line of force ; floors are perpendicular to the line of force
proper width of the cavity
how to achieve resistance form
retention form
refers to the internal form of a cavity which enables the restoration to resist displacement through tipping or lifting
parallel or nearly parallel lateral dentin walls
presence of dovetail
undercuts (occluso-buccal and occluso-lingual walls) and/ or converging walls
retention grooves (proximo-buccal and proximo-lingual walls)
pins/ pinholes/ postholes
how to achieve retention form
convenience form
refers to the extension of the preparation so that it may be most conveniently seen, approached and restored
convenience form
is a term meaning “ to gain access”
width of the isthmus should be 1/3 to 1⁄4 of the intercuspal distance
convenience form
will help prevent restoration movement
resistance form = FLAT FLOOR
may allow an amalgam restoration a rocking action = wedging force (shearing of tooth)
resistance form = ROUNDED PULPAL FLOOR
use of spoon excavator
slowly rotating round burs
removal of remaining decay may be done by?
finishing of enamel margins and walls
removal of unsupported enamel rods (shaping of the enamel walls in line with direction of enamel rods)
enamel walls - planed to smoothness
Remove debris with air or water syringe
.Dry and isolate the cavity
Medicate. Place the necessary pulp protection.
Dry again
Place the necessary restorative material (permanent or temporary)
toilet or cleansing of cavity procedure:
enameloplasty
eliminating the developmental faults by removing it with the side of a flame-shaped diamond stone, leaving a smooth surface
enameloplasty
Using ____ on the terminal ends of shallow fissures to conserve tooth structure
ease of use
long term clinical research
results
Excellent wear resistance
Lower cost than for composite
amalgam advantages
Nonesthetic
Less conservative
Weakens tooth structure
amalgam disadvantages
