Cavity preparation basics: Internal and External wall terminology and Ideal cavity form
TOOTH PREPARATION:
- Mechanical alteration of defective and injured tooth disease such that placement of restoration re-establish normal form and function ,aesthetics.
OBJECTIVES:
- Conserve
- Remove defect
- Masticatory force
- Aesthetics
CONVENTIONAL PREPARATION:
- Require wall form
- Uniform depth
- Margin
example: Amalgam, cast metal
CONSERVATIVE PREPARATION:
- Remove defect : Example composite ,glass ionomer cement
POLYCRYSTALLIC MATERIAL ;
- Limited ability to flex
- Removal of defect
- Uniform depth
Example: Amalgam, glass ceramic
POLYMERIC:
- Greater ability to flex
- Removal of defective tooth
Example: Composite resin
