  1. Identifying and Charting Restorations Marcia Espinoza, Reina Ligeralde, Dorinda Thomas DEH 21 5.13.08

  2. Amalgam Composite Porcelain Sealant Veneer Post Common Dental Materials • Fixed Partial Denture • Inlay • Onlay

  3. Amalgam • An alloy that consists chiefly of silver mixed with mercury and variable amounts of other metals • Appears radiopaque radiographically

  4. Amalgam Appearances Clinical Radiographic

  5. Composite • Also called a white filling • Typically consists of a resin-based matrix and an inorganic filler (which gives the composite wear-resistance and translucency) • May appear radiopaque radiographically (older ones may appear radiolucent)

  6. Composite Appearance Clinical Radiographic

  7. Porcelain • Produced by mixing ceramic powder with distilled water • Appears radiopaque radiographically

  8. Porcelain Appearances Clinical Radiographic

  9. Sealant • A tough, plastic material designed to bond to the tooth enamel • Clear or tooth-colored material that seals the pits and grooves • Not seen radiographically

  10. Sealant Appearances Clinical Radiographic • Not seen but possibly a faint radiopacity on occlusal surface

  11. Veneer • A thin layer of restorative material placed over a tooth surface, either to improve the aesthetics of a tooth, or to protect a damaged tooth surface • Two types of materials can be used in a veneer: composite and porcelain • Appears radiopaque radiographically

  12. Veneer Appearances Clinical

  13. Post and Crown • Often, only the root portion is left to retain the crown. • A gold casting called a post and core • Common practice to cement a post about two-thirds of the way into a root canal • Core = the part of the post that protrudes from the root canal

  14. Post and Crown Radiograph

  15. Fixed Partial Denture (FPD) • Designed to replace more than one missing natural tooth • Dentist attaches an FPD to natural teeth (abutments) or roots by cementation • Pontic = artificial tooth suspended from the retainer casting, occupies the space formerly filled by the crown of a natural tooth • Unit castings are joined together by connectors. • The units may be made entirely from metal, combination of metal or resin, or from a combination of metal and porcelain.

  16. FPD aka Bridge Appearance

  17. Inlay vs. Onlay

  18. Inlay vs. Onlay Clinical Appearances Inlay Onlay

  19. Surface Restorations • Examples: O, B, L, DO, MO, MOD, MOB, OL, OB, MF, ML, DF, or DL • A dental restorative material used to artificially restore the function, integrity, and morphology of missing tooth structure • Appears radiopaque radiographically

  20. Surface Restoration Appearances Clinical Radiographic

  21. How to Identify Dental Materials Clinically • Tactile detection: • Composite restorations have a distinct tactile feel with the explorer that contrasts with a natural tooth or a ceramic or porcelain restoration. • A black line of metal may be apparent when an explorer is used on the material. • Air: • Aesthetic restorations may reveal a dry, chalky appearance when air is applied.

  22. Charting Restorations • Use blue ink and draw symbol for existing restoration. • Place appropriate letter for restoration material (e.g. A, C, P, V) on facial or buccal aspect of chart, above/below root apices. • Place an “S” on the occlusal surface of the tooth that has a sealant.

  23. More on Charting Restorations • For a bridge, mark missing tooth/teeth with straight line, outline the crowns of teeth, and fill in with diagonal lines. Draw 2 sets of parallel lines between crowns of teeth. Place appropriate letter representing type of material on facial or buccal. • Mark a straight line inside root areas(s) of affected tooth for a root canal therapy.

  24. Test YOUR Knowledge! • Identify 3 incorrect charted restorations.

  25. Amalgam or Stain? • Name two ways you can tell if your patient has an amalgam or a stain.

  26. Composite or Sealant? • What is the difference between the two?

  27. Answers • 4 - “P” should be on the buccal, not the lingual, aspect of the chart, above the apices. • 14 – “S” should be on the occlusal surface rather than on the buccal aspect of the chart, above the apices. • 31 – Blue, rather than black, ink should have been used.

  28. More Answers • You can use tactile detection and air. With tactile detection, there will be a distinct difference in sound. There is more of a solid ringing noise when an explorer goes across a restoration and more of a jagged, scratching noise when an explorer runs along a tooth surface that has a stain, especially if the tooth surface has pits. • A composite will cover a surface whereas a sealant will cover a pit or groove.
