  • 45. Resin Bonded Prosthesis Success •  Diagnosis & Treatment Planning •  Tooth Preparation •  Design, thickness, fit •  Cementation (Bonding)
  • 46. Resin bonded prostheses were originally introduced by Rochette as a prosthesis requiring little or no tooth preparation. However, most of the clinical studies that evaluated the effects of tooth preparation indicate it decreases the incidence of debonding and therefore increases prosthesis longevity
  • 47. Effect of Tooth Preparation (Evaluated in 9 Studies) •  No significant effect in 3 studies •  Significant debonding in 5 studies – 11% debond when prepared – 47% debond with no preparation
  • 48. 1. Cover Maximal Enamel Area Need Teeth With Adequate Enamel Surface Area
  • 49. Effect of Bonding Area •  The area available for bonding affects success Thayer, 1993 Priest, 1995 Ferrari, 1998 • The mean area of debonded retainers was 38 mm2 compared to retainers that did not debond (45 mm2) Thayer, 1993 • Age and gingival position affected the area available for bonding
  • 50. Prosthesis failure due to minimal coverage More appropriate area covered
  • 51. When the gingival tissue covers the cingulum, it should be surgically removed prior to placement of a resin bonded prosthesis so the maximal amount of tooth structure is available for coverage.
  • 52. 2. Cover the lingual and proximal surfaces of each abutment
  • 53. 3. Prepare the proximal surfaces so they are convex faciolingually.
  • 54. 4. Create adequate occlusal clearance so the metal casting can possess adequate rigidity (0.5 millimeter minimum). In situations where there is tight interdigitation of opposing teeth, it may be necessary to modify opposing enamel surfaces to create sufficient clearance.
  • 55. 0.5 mm minimum 4. Create adequate reduction of the occluding surface so there is sufficient material thickness.
  • 56. 5. Form a perpheral finish line (0.2 – 0.3 mm) that provides positional stabiliy, increases casting rigidity, and decreases overcontouring.
  • 57. •  Because the cervical enamel thickness on mandibular incisors is minimal (0.1 – 0.3 mm), placement of a chamfer finish line is not recommended because it may remove all the cervical enamel and adversely affect the bond.
  • 58. Ledge 6. Form lingual ledges or occlusal rests seats that provide positional stability, increased resistance form and increased metal rigidity.
  • 59. Posterior Tooth Preparations • 180° axial coverage Creugers, 1989 Crispin, 1991
  • 60. Posterior Tooth Preparations •  Tooth preparation should include multiple rests Barrack, 1993 • Tooth preparation can cover the entire lingual cusp with proximal grooves
  • 61. Rest seats should resemble the tip of a spoon, having greater faciolingual dimension at the marginal ridge and taper toward the center of the tooth. They should extend about 1/3rd of the distance across the occlusal surface.
  • 62. 0.5 mm The rest seat depth should provide for at least 0.5 mm of occlusocervical metal thickness at the marginal ridge of the rest seat..
  • 63. The cervical floor of the rest seat should slope apically from the marginal ridge toward the center of the tooth just like a rest seat in a crown for a removable partial denture.
  • 64. Grooves 7. Form proximal grooves that provide resistance form, positional stability, and increased casting rigidity.
  • 65. Proximal Grooves •  The use of proximal grooves decreases debonding Simon, 1992 Rammelsberg, 1993 Besimo, 1993 Barrack, 1993 • Use a number 700 bur and place proximal grooves to an apical depth that equals one-half the diameter of the bur tip
  • 66. •  Pinholes can also be used and they are prepared by first drilling a hole using a number ½ round bur to the desired depth of 1.5 to 2.0 mm and then using a number 700 bur to create the slightly tapered form
  • 67. Proximal Groove combined with Lingual Groove(s) •  One proximal groove •  One or two lingual grooves (channels / furrows) that are 1 mm deep •  ½ round bur to penetrate enamel and then 168 bur to refine lingual furrows •  Technique developed by Dr. John Locke, Prosthodontist, Melbourne, Australia Courtesy of J Locke
  • 68. Maxillary Canine
  • 69. Maxillary Central Incisor
  • 70. Mandibular Incisor
  • 71. Courtesy of J Locke
  • 72. Courtesy of J Locke
  • 73. Key Tooth Preparation Features •  Cover maximal area •  Cover lingual and proximal •  Convex proximal surfaces •  Adequate occlusal clearance •  Peripheral finish line •  Ledges / rests •  Multiple grooves or single groove with slot(s) •  Pinholes can be used All These Features Produce A Definite Path Of Placement & Resistance To Dislodgement
  • 74. •  Chamfer finish line – 0.2 – 0.3 mm deep •  Proximal grooves – apical depth of ½ the tip diameter of a number 700 bur •  Reduction for occlusal clearance – 0.5 mm minimal clearance •  Lingual ledges (ant. teeth) – 0.2-0.5 mm deep •  Occlusal rests (posterior teeth) – 0.5 mm minimal thickness at the marginal ridge, extend 1/3 of the MD dimension of the occlusal surface, and slope apically toward the tooth center •  Pinholes (1.5 – 2.0 mm deep) can be used Key Tooth Preparation Features
  • 75. Resin Bonded Prosthesis Success •  Diagnosis & Treatment Planning •  Tooth Preparation •  Design, thickness, fit •  Cementation (Bonding)
  • 76. Metal Thickness & Fit •  The space created for occlusal clearance should be at least 0.5 mm •  Metal thickness over marginal ridges should be 1.0 mm or more •  The internal adaptation need to be excellent so the retentive features can engage tooth structure

  • 78. Resin – Metal Retention •  Macroscopic retention Perforations Meshes

  • 84. Resin – Metal Retention •  Macroscopic retention Perforations Meshes Internal undercuts • Microscopic retention Electrolytic etching Chemical etching Airborne particle abrasion Airborne particle abrasion and electrochemically etched surfaces were the same Atta, 1986 Covington, 1987
  • 85. Resin – Metal Bond Consensus •  Method of metal treatment is not critical •  The enamel – resin bond is the weak link Shaw, 1982 LaBarre, 1984 Aksu, 1982 Holland, 1984
  • 86. Resin Bonded Prosthesis Success •  Diagnosis & Treatment Planning •  Tooth Preparation •  Design, thickness, fit •  Cementation (Bonding)
  • 87. Cementation (Bonding) •  Meticulous isolation and attention to detail is required Crispin, 1986
  • 88. Cementation (Bonding) •  The usual enamel etching is performed and visually verified.
  • 89. Cementation (Bonding) •  If the etched enamel becomes contaminated by saliva, the surface should be re-etched since only drying caused decreased bond strengths Hormati, 1980
  • 90. Cementation (Bonding) •  If the etched metal surface becomes contaminated by saliva, it can be dried since research has shown that drying has no harmful effect on bond strength Ballesteros, 1986 Cassidy, 1987
  • 91. Select A Chemically Polymerized Resin Cement
  • 92. Cementation (Bonding) •  Follow the manufacturer’s instructions regarding bonding procedures.
  • 93. Cementation (Bonding) •  Remove the excess resin before it polymerizes, particularly the interproximal excess
  • 94. Cementation (Bonding) •  32% of the prostheses exhibited excess resin gingivally Thayer, 1993
  • 95. Cementation (Bonding) •  Finishing / polishing the metal for 30 seconds with a bur and 20 seconds with a brown rubber cup significantly decreased the bond strength •  Most finishing should be completed prior to bonding Caughman, 1988
  • 96. Rebonding Prostheses •  Remove existing resin using airborne particle abrasion with 50 micrometer aluminous oxide particles •  Rebonded prostheses have a higher debond rate Kerschbaum, 1996
