Typically this is not a painful procedure - you'll feel nothing while the tooth is being worked on and a good temporary will seal the tooth and provide you with a comfortable recovery. At most an Advil or Tylenol afterwards will do the trick. Best wishes!

I have a question if you wouldn't mind answering In regards to indications for an onlay. Would you say that you have certain criteria/guidelines that you would asses a tooth by, to evaluate if an onlay is the best option as opposed to a direct restoration? Thank you in advance

@StevensonDentalSolutions

5 жыл бұрын

Such a tough question! If the occlusal surface needs restoration which will include cusps, or when the isthmus is wider than 3 mm for molars, or when there are symptomatic cracks (use a tooth slooth to evaluate), or when a crack extends gingival with dark stain, or when the tooth is structurally compromised but has good enamel and dentin on the facial and lingual. Ultimately it is a clinical judgement call. The decision to place a direct, or an inlay, or an onlay or even a full crown is not always clear and the same situation would likely be treated differently depending on the dentists' philosophiy, skills set and prior training. Best to you!

Great video doc! So enlightening. Feel more confident now to approach the conservative partial coverage option of an onlay , that I thus far have not ventured doing .

Hi - no worries. Onlays require the reduction of the occlusal surface just like a full crown - the major difference is that Onlays don't include any more of the facial or lingual surfaces, unless caries (note the lingual grove extension) dictates this. Like a full crown, Onlays follow the cusp morphology during reduction, rather than just a flat top prep, hence the facial outline you see in the video - it follows the shapes of the cusps, rather than creating a straight finish line as viewed from the facial. The lingual finish line is also like a sine wave - following the cusp shapes, and only extending beyond this gingivally if a defect or caries dictates this modification. In the video, as viewed from the lingual, the finish line dips to include the caries in the lingual fissure area. There are an infinite number of outline forms with Onlays (which makes them so interesting and fun) allowing the dentist to be creative and conservative at the same time.

Hi Doc - great questions: 1. Typically only functional cusps require shoulders and cusp capping in order to provide better resistance form to the restoration and tooth. There are times when a shoulder (cusp capping) on the non-functional cusp would be necessary (cross bites, heavy occlusion, perhaps end treated teeth, etc) but the "shoe" design (as in the vid) on the non-functional cusps has been the standard of fixed prosthodontics. 2. The flattening of the lingual (functional cusps) without a shoulder requires a little more tooth removal in reality - strange perhaps, but it does, and in a Master's Thesis study at UCLA performed by my grad student, Dr. Shahed Al-Khalifa found that the shoulder design was consistently stronger than the "V" prep or "flat" functional cusp design.

@StevensonDentalSolutions

5 жыл бұрын

Back in the feldspathic days we saw that the wrapping of cusps with shoulders led to some material fractures and opted for flat tops as you mention. With the significantly stronger lithium disilicate materials, this is no longer the case. A research paper I co-authored in 2018 looked at the different designs and we found that shoulders are better for ultimate tooth-restoration strength. The paper is at the publisher...Capping cusps works incredibly well with LD and likely leads to a stronger final restoration/tooth, and if performed well may preserve more tooth structure as the flat top design on the functional cusp reduces more tooth structure due to the lack of cusp incline preservation. Thank you Doc!

One question Dr. The caries was on MO surgace why did you also prep the distal surface? When prepping for onlay do u have to create a box on M and D sides or is it just in this case?

@StevensonDentalSolutions

6 ай бұрын

Excellent Comment and Question! When you need to replace the occlusal surface due to wear (exposed dentin), you need to decide on the proximal finish lines. To keep the finish lines occlusal to the proximal contact zone is rarely an option due to the need to keep the restoration margin free from the proximal contact. If the morphology of the tooth and the current situation allows, you can occasionally do this - however, it is not a common finding, hence, I drop the box form to extend past the contact areas. On a terminal tooth, (a second molar with no third molar, for example) the situation is entirely different and the distal finish line may be kept on the distal occlusal portion of the marginal ridge.

Great job as always ....I have a question please ....onlay preparation is indicated with sever attrition Pt due to bruxism habit ??

@StevensonDentalSolutions

5 жыл бұрын

Complicated answer...essentially if the wear is due to nocturnal bruxism, and the patient wears an orthotic, then yes, onlays are great. IF the wear occurs during the daytime, diurnal bruxism, then it's a bit less predictable, and either gold or zirconia will be more durable than lithium disilicate. If the wear is due to a past grinding habit that has stopped, then you may treat as normal. Is the wear active? This is an important concern.

So its better to always do a shoulder then on onlays preparations than no shoulder approach? It should only be performed on the functional cusps

@StevensonDentalSolutions

GREAT QUESTION! A Master's Thesis I mentored at UCLA clearly showed that shoulders on functional cusps were better than shoulder-less preps in terms of durability. I also believe that the A, B, and C planes preserve the anatomy of the tooth and the shoulder simply increases the thickness of the ceramic in a critical area. The flat top, non-anatomical approach may leave the ceramic weak in these areas, and the flat top prep is more aggressive with the tooth structure as a whole. Thank you for watching, Dr. S

The cusp tips have exposed dentin and an inlay will not protect them.

Overlay is a variation of onlay - it's just nomenclature variation. Shillingburg never referred to these as overlays - only onlays. Some school's have adopted the term "overlay" to describe a finish line that includes the lingual or facial surface vs an onlay which stops at the line angle between the occlusal and lingual or facial. Confusing and very typical of dentistry to use various terms with much confusion.

I still don't understand that shoulder on the functional cusp. I don't think it will provide more resistance

@StevensonDentalSolutions

Жыл бұрын

If you understand the purpose of the functional cusp bevel in gold crown and onlay preparations, it will be more clear. Essentially the ceramic if left without a shoulder, will be infinitely thin when the tooth is in occlusion. The shoulder provides the necessary bulk to this area. Alternatively, if you prepped the tooth flat, the shoulder would not be necessary as bulk would be obtained via the over-preparation, however, Flat preps reduce more tooth structure. Another aspect of the shoulder is that it places a vertical wall onto the functional cusp which is parallel to the other internal walls and thereby puts the cement under compression rather than shear forces. Even resin cements benefit from compressive vs shear stresses.
