    Cavity Preparation Ques & Ans

    Cavity preparation involves mechanically altering teeth to allow for restorative materials to re-establish form and function. Conventional preparations require specific wall forms and depths for materials like amalgam, while modified preparations for composites and glass ionomers require less uniformity. Objectives of tooth preparations include removing unsupported enamel and defects while protecting the pulp. Preparations are classified by the number of surfaces involved and features like line angles, cavosurface angles, and Black's classification define preparation designs. Conservative preparations only remove enough tooth structure for the restoration.

    Cavity preparation

    1. Define tooth preparation


    It is defined as the mechanical alteration of defective, injured or diseased tooth such that
    placement of restorative material re-establishes normal form and function including
    esthetic corrections, where indicated.

    2. What is conventional preparation?


    These tooth preparations require specific wall forms, depth and marginal forms because
    of the properties of the restorative material.
    Eg: Amalgam, cast metal, ceramic material.

    3. What is modified preparation?


    Tooth preparations for bonded direct restorations has less need for specific uniform
    depth, wall design, retentive features & marginal form.
    Eg: composite, GIC

    4. Fundamentals and objectives of tooth preparations


    -All unsupported enamel tooth structure are normally removed
    -All faults, defects, caries to be removed
    -underlying pulp tissue to be protected
    -Extend the restoration as conservatively as possible.

    5. Simple tooth preparation- one surface involved


    Compound tooth preparation-two surfaces involved
    Complex tooth preparation- Three or more surfaces involved.

    6. Internal wall
    Prepared tooth surface that does not extend to the external tooth surface
    Eg: axial wall, pulpal wall

    7. External wall
    Prepared tooth surfaces that extends to the external tooth surface.
    Eg: distal, mesial, facial, lingual wall , gingival seat.

    8. What is a line angle?


    Junction of two planar surfaces of different orientation alond a line
    Internal- apex points into the tooth
    External- apex points away from the tooth.

    9. What is a point angle?


    Junction of three planar surfaces of different orientation
    Class I – 8 line angles 4 point angles
    Class II – 11 line angles point angles
    Class III – 6 line angles & 3 point angles
    Class IV – 11 line angles 6 point angles
    Class V – 8 line angles 4 point angles

    10. What is a cavosurface angle?


    Angle of the tooth structure formed by the junction of a prepared cavity wall and the
    external surface of the tooth.
    Amalgam – 90 degree butt joint
    Inlay – 135 to 145degree

    11. What is a cavosurface margin?


    Outer margin of the cavity that form the actual junction.

    12. Resistance form:


    Features of cavity design which resist occlusal forces

    13. Retention form:


    Features of cavity design which resist displacement of the final restoration

    14. G.V. Black’s classification:


    Class I – all pits & fissures including
    Occlusal surfaces of premolars & molars
    Occlusal two third of the facial & lingual surfaces of molars
    Lingual surfaces of maxillary incisors
    Class II – Proximal surfaces of posterior teeth
    Class III – Proximal surfaces of anterior teeth without involving the incisal edge
    ClassIV – Proximal surfaces of anteriors including the incisal edge
    Class V – Involves the gingival third of the facial or lingual surface of all the teeth.
    Class VI – involves the incisal edges of anteriors & occlusal cusp tips of posterior

    15. What is a conservative preparation?


    It is a preparation where tooth structure is removed as much as needed for a given
    restoration, without extending or prevention of further decay.
    Eg: Slot, box only, tunnel, occlusal pits.

    16. What is enameloplasty?


    Reshaping of enamel by selective grinding so as to include deep pits for easy
    cleansibility.

    17. Depth of cavity preparation for amalgam


    0.2 – 0.5 mm into the dentin
    1.5 – 2mm at central fissure
    18. Minimum bulk of restoration for an amalgam cavity
    1.5 mm for resistance to fracture

    19. What is the ideal width of amalgam cavity?


    1/4th to 1/3rd intercuspal distance

    20. Primary resistance form:


    It may be defined as the shape and placement of the preparation wall that best enable
    the remaining tooth structures & the restoration to withstand, without fracture the
    masticatory forces delivered principally along the long axis of the tooth.

    21. Outline form and initial depth:


    Placing the preparation margins in the position that they will occupy in the final
    preparation except for finishing enamel walls & margins.
    Preparing an initial depth of 0.2 – 0.8mm pulpally to DEJ.

    22. Failure to round the line angles cause:


    Concentration of stress which leads to failure of restoration.
