Study Notes
General Principles of Cavity Preparation
- Cavity preparation aims for beauty, pulp protection, and resistance/retention.
- Objectives include removing defects, upholding a conservative approach, protecting the pulp, and ensuring resistance and retention.
- Factors influencing cavity preparation include dental and patient factors, as well as restorative material considerations.
Objectives of Cavity Preparations
- Adequate retention for the restoration.
- Correct resistance to prevent fracture in the tooth and restoration.
- Conservation of maximum tooth structure.
Factors Affecting Cavity Preparations
-
Dental Factors:
- Diagnosis (assessing pulp and periodontal status, occlusal status, and the relationship to other treatments).
- Dental anatomy (direction of enamel rods, enamel and dentin thickness, pulp size and position, and tooth-supporting structures).
-
Patient Factors:
- Aesthetic concerns.
- Economic concerns.
- Medical conditions.
- Patient age.
- Caries risk assessment.
-
Restorative Material Factors:
- Patient preferences (economic and aesthetic).
- Isolation ability.
- Extent of the lesions.
Classification of Cavity Preparation Principles
-
I - Biological Principles:
- Definition: Steps minimizing pulp irritation during cavity preparation.
- Forms:
- Pulp protection (against mechanical, thermal, and chemical irritation).
- Prevention of caries recurrence (removing carious enamel and dentin, extending cavity margins for self-cleaning, removing undermined enamel, and properly inclining the cavity preparation with the indicated restoration)
- Aseptic procedures (use of sterile/clean instruments and application of rubber dam).
- Gingivale and periodontal tissue protection (avoid overhang, proper matrixing, wedging, avoiding slippage, and avoiding irritating chemicals near the gingival margins).
-
II - Mechanical Principles:
- Definition: Steps preserving tooth and restoration structural integrity by decreasing tensile stresses within tolerance levels.
- Objectives:
- Retention of the restoration.
- Resistance to fracture in the tooth and restoration.
- Conservation of maximum tooth structure.
-
Steps of Cavity Preparation (according to G.V. Black):
- Outline form.
- Resistance form.
- Retention form.
- Convenience form.
- Removal of carious lesions.
- Finishing of the cavity.
- Toilet (cleaning) of the cavity.
-
Important Note: If the cavity is deep or the caries extensive, step 4 (convenience form) may be adjusted with step 2 (resistance form) to determine cavity depth and extent of lesion.
