    Study Notes

    Dentistry

    • Encompasses the study and application of measures designed to prevent deterioration of the oral structures.
    • Focuses on improving oral health through clinical procedures.
    • Aims to relieve pain, treat oral disease, maintain masticatory efficiency, and restore esthetics.

    Prosthesis

    • Artificial replacement of a missing body part.

    Prosthodontics

    • Branch of dentistry concerned with restoration and maintenance of oral function, comfort, appearance, and health.
    • Achieved through restoration of natural teeth or replacement of missing teeth and tissues with artificial substitutes.
    • Two categories: removable and fixed.

    Removable Prosthodontics

    • Deals with replacing teeth and structures for edentulous or partially edentulous patients with removable substitutes.

    Fixed Prosthodontics

    • Concerned with restoration or replacement of teeth with non-removable artificial substitutes.

    Crown

    • Artificial replacement restoring missing tooth structure, surrounding the remaining structure with materials like cast metal, porcelain, or combinations.
    • Aims to reproduce form and function of the tooth and potentially enhance appearance.
    • An extracoronal restoration.

    Full Veneer Crown

    • Covers all surfaces of the clinical crown.
    • Can be made entirely of metal, all porcelain, or a metal-ceramic combination.

    Partial Veneer Crown

    • Restores only a portion of the clinical crown.

    Three-Quarter Crown

    • Partial coverage cast crown that restores occlusal surfaces and all axial surfaces except the facial surface.
    • Retained by grooves prepared on the proximal surfaces.

    Reversed-Three Quarter Crown

    • Modified ¾ crown with buccal surface prepared instead of the lingual surface.

    One-Half Crown

    • Partial coverage cast crown involving mesial surface, mesial halves of buccal and lingual surfaces, and half of the occlusal surface.
    • Retained by buccal and lingual grooves.

    Seven-Eighth Crown

    • Extension of the three-quarter crown including a major portion of the facial surfaces, usually the disto-buccal cusp.
    • Retained by buccal and mesial grooves.

    MacBoyle Retainer

    • Modified three-quarter crown with retention from two grooves at the labio-proximal line angles.
    • Indicated for mandibular anterior teeth.

    Pin-Ledge Retainer

    • Partial coverage restoration retained by two ledges and three pins, two incisally and one gingivally.

    Temporary Crown

    • Crown made and used temporarily to protect the prepared tooth until the permanent crown is completed.

    Intracoronal Restorations

    • Replace missing tooth structure within the crown of the tooth.

    Inlay Retainer

    • Intracoronal cast restoration that restores proximal and occlusal surface of the tooth without covering the cusp.
    • Used to support occlusal rest in fixed-supported bridges.

    Onlay Retainer

    • Modification of the inlay with cusp overlay on the occlusal surface to protect the integrity of remaining tooth structures.
