RESTORATIONS
Tooth
Preparation
It is the mechanical alteration
of a defective, injured or
diseased tooth to best receive
a restorative material that will
reestablish a healthy state for
the tooth, including esthetic
corrections where indicated
along with normal form and
function
Restoration
Restoration is defined as any
material or prosthesis that restores
or replaces lost or damaged tooth
structures, teeth or oral tissues.
Cast
Life-sized likeness of some desired
form
To produce a shape by thrusting a
molten liquid or plastic material into
a mold possessing the desired shape
Indications
Replace lost tooth structure in extensively
involved teeth
Restoration of endodontically treated teeth
Correction of occlusal & diastema closure
Support for partial or complete dentures
Retainers for fixed prosthesis
Indications
Partially subgingival restorations
Cracked teeth
As an adjunct to successful PDL therapy
Contraindicatio
ns
Developing or deciduous teeth
High plaque or caries indices
Occlusal disharmony
Dissimilar metals
Small restorations
Advantages
Higher strength
Ability to reproduce precise form and
minute details
Control of contours & contacts
Biocompatibility of materials (Noble
or passivated alloys)
Advantag
es
Not affected by tarnish and corrosion
Increased longevity of cast
restoration
Fewer voids
Less internal stresses
No layering effect compared to
amalgam
Cast restorations can be better
finished, polished or glazed, thus,
better esthetics & no harm to P-D
Disadvantages
Technique sensitive
Number of appointments &
chairside time
High cost
Splitting forces
1. Occlusion/Occlusal Equilibration
2. Anesthesia
Local anesthesia of the ttoh to be
operated on, as well as the adjacent soft
tissues, usually is advocated.
Features of Tooth
Preparation for
Cast Restoration
EXTRACORONAL
Mortise shaped
General
Principles
Greater surface extension in outline form
than in amalgam
This facilitates support & efficient marginal
manipulation
More extensive surface involvement to
PRESERVATION OF TOOTH
STRUCTURE
In addition to replacing lost tooth
structure, cast restoration must
preserve the remaining structure
It may involve limited amount of
tooth being prepared
B. APICO-OCCLUSAL TAPER
C. CIRCUMFERENTIAL TIE
It is the peripheral marginal anatomy of
the preparation.
Should fulfill the requirements
advocated by Noy:
STRUCTURAL
DURABILITY
Occlusal reduction
Functional Cusp Bevel
Axial Reduction
Inlays
Onlays
INLAYS
An inlay is an
intracoronal cast
restoration which
involves the
occlusal and
proximal surfaces
of a posterior
tooth.
Armamentarium
Carbide burs are used
Side & end surfaces of
the bur must be
straight to form
uniformly tapered walls
BURS
Burs used are no.
271, 169L & no. 8862
Sides & end of 271
bur meet in a rounded
manner to prevent
sharp internal angles
Burs are plane Cut
so that vertical walls
are smooth
General Shape
The outline of the
occlusal portion of this
preparation is dovetail
internally
Proximal portion is
usually boxed in shape
Location of Margins
In occlusal portion, the facial, lingual and sometimes
proximal margins are located on the inclined planes
of the corresponding cusps, triangular ridges or
marginal ridges
Bucco-lingual width of the cavity does not exceed
1/3 intercuspal distance
Facial and lingual margins of the proximal portion is
in the corresponding embrasures
Gingival margins should extend to include surface
defect & concavities & to eradicate marginal
undercuts
TOOTH PREPARATION
Initial Preparation
Final

External & Internal
- Removal of
carious
Outline form
dentin
Occlusal Step
- Pulp protection
Proximal box
- Prep of bevels &
flares
Occlusal Step
No. 271 bur is held parallel to
long axis of tooth enter
pit/fossa closest to marginal
ridge
Punch cut of 1.5 mm
Maintaining 1.5 mm extend
to the outline to involve the
central groove/fissure
Outline is extended to a
dovetail (retention form)
Proximal
Box
Axial
Wall
Final Preparation
Removal of infected dentin & pulp
protection
After initial prep, evaluate for any
carious dentin
If present, excavate using a spoon
excavator or a No. 2 or 4 round bur
OCCLUSAL BEVEL
Long bevel (almost 1/3 of
facial & lingual walls)
Angulation of 30-45 to the
long axis of crown
A tapered diamond or finishing
bur is used to create a short
but distinct bevel at the
occlusal finish lines
Angulation should increase in
cavity width; to accommodate
the bulk of the cast metal &
GINGIVAL BEVEL
Secondary Flare
Flaring of the proximal walls to extend the margins into
embrasures
Makes them more self cleansing and accessible to finishing
procedures
A blunted and stronger enamel margin is produced
Direction of flare results in 40 marginal metal which is more
burnishable

ONLAYS
An onlay caps one or
more than one of the
cusps of a posterior
tooth and is
designated to help
strengthen a tooth
that has been
weakened by caries or
previous restorative
experience
General Principles
All finish lines are bevelled
The bevel creates second plane for close
adaptation of the gold to the tooth
Bevelled shoulder centric cusp
Nonbevel or Chamfer Non-centric cusp
Gingival margin, facial & lingual walls of
proximal box are like inlays.
General Shape
Capping of the functional cusps &
shoeing of the non functional cusp
The outline of the occlusal portion of
this preparation is dovetaild internally
and follow the cusp externally
Proximal portion is usually boxed or
cone shape
Location of margins
Proximal boxes
Facial & lingual walls should
exhibit a combined divergence
of 6-10 from each other
Facio-lingual dimension is
determined by extent of caries,
old restoration
& adjacent tooth
Bevels extend the preparation
beyond the proximal contact
area
Cuspal Reduction
GINGIVAL BEVEL
Flame shaped Diamond (8862)
Distinct bevel given on gingival margins
0.5 mm width & 45 to external surface of
tooth
PROXIMAL BEVEL
Flame shaped diamond (8862)
Proximal bevel should blend smoothly with
gingival bevel & buccal & lingual bevels
RETENTION GROOVES
No. 169L bur is used
Grooves placed at linguoaxial & facioaxial
line angles
RESTORATIV
E
TECHNIQUE
1. Interocclusal Records
Before preparation of tooth, the
interocclusal contacts in MI & in all
lateral and protrusive movements
should have been carefully evaluated
The interocclusal record works well
when preparing one tooth; the full
arch casts are preferred when more
than two prepared teeth are involved
2. Temporary Restoration
Between the time the tooth is
prepared & the cast metal
restoration is delivered, it is
important that the patient be
comfortable & the tooth be protected
and stabilized with adequate
temporary restoration.
INDIRECT TECHNIQUE
Temporaries can be fabricated outside
the mouth using a post-operative cast of
the prepared teeth
INDIRECT
TECHNIQUE
DIRECT TECHNIQUE
3. Final Impression
The indirect technique for making
cast metal restoration is accurate &
dependable/
Fabrication of cast metal restoration
takes place in the laboratory, using a
gypsum cast made from an
impression of the prepared &
adjacent unprepared teeth.
GENERAL
RULE:
5. Wax Pattern
FORMING THE PATTERN BASE:
Lubricate the die & incrementally
add liquid wax from a no. 7 wax
spatula by the flow & pree
method to form the proximal, facial
& lingual surface aspects of the
pattern
Then add a thin layer of wax on the
occlusal surface
9. Cementation
