Surgical Exposure to facilitate Restorative Therapy
What is a Major Indication for Crown lengthening:
false
t/f: Altered Passive Eruption also known as delayed passive eruption is pathologic
true
t/f: Altered Passive Eruption also known as delayed passive eruption is a variation of normal/ healthy anatomy
true
t/f: Altered Passive Eruption also known as delayed passive eruption has a clinical presentation excess gingival
tissue i.e. the clinical crown is shorter than the
anatomic crown
CEJ
In Altered Passive Eruption also known as delayed passive eruption , it may be associated with the osseous crest being
located close to the _____
3
from the osseous crest, you can expect the gingiva to grow back about __ mm
2
dentogingival junction is ____mm
- supracrestal fibrous attachment: 1mm
- epithelial attachment: 1mm
what is the dentogingival junction made of?
occluso-apical
the longer a preparation in a _______ dimension, the greater the crowns resistance to dislodgement
false
t/f: a gingivectomy is the necessary treatment to treat altered passive eruption in the case that the bone is located at the level of the CEJ
true
t/f: Crown Lengthening can Improve Esthetics when delayed or altered passive eruption is present
false
t/f: Crown Lengthening cannot expose caries and expose the anatomic crown
2
the Dentogingival Junction is about __mm
1
a Healthy Sulcus depth is about __mm
3
The recommended distance between the osseous
crest and a restorative margin is still __mm
violation of biological width
ID the problem:

bone loss
A crown w/ a margin closer than 3 mm to the osseous crest
may result in _____
3
When providing a CLP, we need to obtain a __ mm occlusal-apical distance between the restorative margin and the osseous crest!!
embrasure space
Crown Lengthening can result in improvement in ______, making it more cleansable
1.5 to 2
A ferrule length should be ____ mm
- chronic inflammation
- bone loss
a crown margin closer than 3mm to the osseous crest will result in what consequences?
help establish Ferrule
how does a CL procedure help in a post/core with crown procedure?
Ferrule
height of natural tooth structure engaged by a full coverage restoration apical to a foundation restoration
-prevents clinical failure of luting cement
-prevents fracture of root
-resists occlusal forces when placed on lingual and buccal surfaces
What are the benefits of having Ferrule?
exposure of tooth to supragingival caries
all the following are indications for a crown lengthening procedure except:
- exposure of subgingival caries
- exposure of subgingival fracture
- exposure of tooth structure for increased retention of crown
- exposure of tooth structure for esthetics
- exposure of a prosthetic ferrule
- exposure of tooth structure to prevent impingement of supraosseous attachment
- exposure of tooth to supragingival caries
extensive occlusal caries
all the following are contraindications to crown lengthening except:
- an esthetic compromise
- poor crown to root ratio
- extensive occlusal caries
- furcation invasion
- caries located ≤3mm from CEJ to fornix of furcation
extract the tooth
If osseous resection of 3 mm results in furcation invasion, you should _____
extract the tooth
If you have to remove bone 3 mm in an apical direction to expose Caries on the root trunk and you would remove bone in the furcation, you should ______
•Reshaping the bone
•Decontaminating root surfaces
Elevation of periodontal flaps can help to achieve our goals of:
false
t/f: a gingivectomy can provide access to recontour the bone
true
t/f: a surgical flap elevation can provide access to recontour the bone
3
If the caries or fracture is not just located on the
facial or lingual but extends to the mesial or distal,
the surgery should involve __ teeth to establish
positive osseous architecture
ostectomy
the removal of supporting bone:
osteoplasty
the removal of nonsupporting bone:
3 months
after crown lengthening, the posterior teeth take about ______ to heal
3-6 months
after crown lengthening, the anterior teeth take about ______ to heal
All of the above
A restorable maxillary 1st molar, number 3, has
subgingival caries on the mesial and distal. Endodontic
therapy with post and core is treatment planned. A CLP
outcome involving osseous resection should:
- Result in Positive osseous architecture
- Not result in Furcation invasion
- Expose an adequate ferrule
- All of the above
false
t/f: bone recontouring should be done with a diode laser
waterlase ND: YAG
how should bone recontouring be done?
bone in the M-D area is more coronal to the bone in the B-L area
what does it mean to have positive architecture when performing CL procedure?
3mm biologic width + 2mm ferrule
how much vertical tooth structure must a tooth fitted for a post/core with crown have?
3
The ideal distance between a restorative margin and the osseous crest (Biologic Width) is __mm:
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
2
The optimal length for a ferrule on a tooth treated with a post and core and full coverage crown is __mm:
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
3
if there are mesial and distal caries on the tooth in question, how many teeth will be involved in the osseous surgery?
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
PDL
When you include a 2mm ferrule in your post and core prep, you allow the occlusal forces to be distributed to the:
- post
- PDL
- dentin
- alveolar one
periodontal disease
reverse/negative architecture is associated with:
- perio health
- periodontal disease
- optimal bony contour
apical
in reverse/negative architecture, the interdental bone is ____ to the buccal/lingual bone height:
- equal to
- coronal
- apical
apico-occlusal
reduction of thick bone ( bucco-lingually) decreases soft tissue height in an _______ dimension on aproximal and interproximal surfaces
- osseous crest follows the CEJ
- aproximal bone is apical to the interdental bone height
- the CEJ is apically positioned on the buccal and lingual and rises coronally on the proximal surface
