Book cover Extra-Coronal Restorations

Part of the book series: BDJ Clinician’s Guides ((BDJCG))

  • 2460 Accesses

Abstract

This chapter will emphasise the need to:

  • Appreciate why conventionally cemented extra-coronal restorations require preparations with retentive axial walls (minimally tapered and sufficiently long)

  • Avoid creating a thick lute between a preparation and the inner surface of a restoration

  • Ensure your technician facilitates seating of the restoration by die spacing, venting the crown or programming a lute space using CAD/CAM

  • Be familiar with surface treatments which can enhance resin bonding to tooth structure and restorative materials

  • Be familiar with resin bonding agents, their uses and limitations

  • Choose a luting agent which is appropriate to the situation
