PREPARATION
Mouth preparation refers to the dental
procedures that need to be accomplished
before
fixed prosthodontics can be properly
undertaken.
Rarely are crowns or fixed partial dentures provided without initial therapy of a
multidisciplinary and often extensive nature, because the etiologic factors that lead to the need for fixed prosthodontics also promote other
pathologic conditions (caries and periodontal disease are the most common).
These must be corrected as an early phase of treatment.
Comprehensive treatment planning will ensure that mouth preparation is undertaken in a logical and efficient sequence aimed at bringing the teeth
and their supporting structures to optimum health.
Equally important is the need to educate and
motivate the patient to maintain long-term dental health through meticulous oral hygiene
the following sequence of treatment procedures in advance of fixed prosthodontic should be
adhered to:
1. Relief of symptoms (chief complaint)
2. Removal of etiologic factors (e.g., excavation of caries, removal of deposits)
3. Repair of damage
Sequence of Treatment:
• Preliminary assessment (A)
• Emergency treatment of presenting symptoms (B) • Oral surgery (C)
Sequence of Treatment:
• Caries control and replacement of existing restorations (D) • Endodontic treatment (E)
• Definitive periodontal treatment, possibly in conjunction with preliminary occlusal therapy (F)
Sequence of Treatment:
• Orthodontic treatment
• Definitive occlusal treatment
• Fixed prosthodontics (G, H) • Removable prosthodontics (I)
ORAL SURGERY
SOFT TISSUE PROCEDURES
Any soft tissue abnormalities that may require surgical intervention should be recognized during the initial or radiographic examination. Elective soft tissue surgery may include alteration
of muscle attachments, removal of a wedge of soft tissue distal to the molars, increase of the vestibular depth, or modification of edentulous
HARD TISSUE PROCEDURES
Simple tooth removal is the most common surgical procedure involving hard tissue.
It should be performed as early during treatment as possible for maximum healing time and
osseous recontouring.
Other procedures may be: extraction of impacted or unerupted supernumerary teeth, tuberosity
reduction and removal of maxillary or mandibular tori.
CARIES AND EXISTING
RESTORATIONS
Any restoration on such teeth must be carefully examined and a determination made regarding
its serviceability. If doubt exists, the restoration should be replaced.
Even on caries-free teeth, an existing restoration may not be a suitable foundation.
Preparation design is different for a foundation than for a conventional restoration, particularly
regarding the placement of retention.
Generally, when a crown is needed, the dentist should plan to replace any existing
FONDATION RESTORATIONS
• A foundation restoration, or core, is used
to build a damaged tooth to ideal anatomic
form before it is prepared for a crown.
• It should provide the patient with adequate function and should be contoured and finished to
facilitate oral hygiene.
Subsequent tooth preparation is greatly simplified if the tooth is build up to ideal contour.
• Selection of the foundation material depends on the extent of tooth destruction, the overall
treatment plan, and operator preference.
• Adhesive retention may be helpful in preventing loss of the foundation during tooth preparation.
The placement of a foundation restoration depends on the extent of damage to the tooth and should always be designed with the definitive restoration in mind. A, Cement. This i s

The term biologic width refers to the combined connective tissue-epithelial attachment from the crest of the
alveolar bone to the base of the gingival sulcus
• This attachment averages approximately 2 mm in width, and any restoration that impinges on it may cause bone loss because of the effort of the host to maintain the 2 mm distance.
• If impingement occurs in an interproximal area, it can lead to problems with plaque control and possible

• Occlusal adjustment needs to be undertaken in a logical sequence to avoid repetition and
improve the efficacy of treatment.

TREATMENT
PLANNING
Treatment planning consists of formulating a
logical sequence of treatment designed to
restore the patient's dentition to good
health, with optimal function and
appearance.
The plan should be presented
in written form and should be discussed in
detail with the patient.

Definition
• A post and core is a dental restoration for
an endodontically treated tooth used to
sufficiently build-up tooth structure for
future restoration with a crown when there
is no enough tooth structure to properly
retain the crown.
Post and cores are therefore referred to as
foundation restorations

Root Shape and Angulation
the shape of the roots and their angulation should be considered.
A molar with divergent roots will provide better support than a molar with conical roots and little
or no interradicular bone.
Similarly, a well-aligned tooth will provide better support than a tilted one.
