CLINICAL, RADIOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS OF MOLARS WITH INDICATIONS FOR RESTORATION WITH CERAMAGE FUSED TO METAL CROWNS
Main Article Content
Abstract
The study was carried out on 40 teeth with metal crowns indicated at the Department of Odonto-Stomatology - Hanoi Medical University Hospital and A7 High-Tech Center for Odonto-Stomatology, School of Dentistry, Hanoi Medical University from September 2015 to September 2016. Objectives: To describe the clinical and radiographic characteristics of molars with indications for restoration by Ceramage fused to metal crowns. Methods: a cross-sectional study. Results: 39/40 molars caused by caries or pulp disease were well treated and were covered with a crown, accounting for 97.5%. Only 1 heavily eroded tooth with viral pulp was taken, accounting for 2.5%. 55% of molars have 4 walls left after preparation, 42.5%, 2.5% of molars had 3 and 2 walls, respectively. 22 molars (55%) still had 4 walls after preparation, no need to plug the root canal post. Of the 17 molars with 3 remaining walls after preparation, there were 4 teeth with root canal posts, 1 tooth with 2 walls had root canal posts after preparation. The percentage of teeth that did not need to be placed posts to the root canal was 35 teeth, accounting for 87.5%. Conclusion: The main reason for the restoration was due to tooth decay, pulp disease (97.5%), mostly the first permanent molars, the teeth after preparation still had enough 4 walls and without post placement accounts for 55%, 3 walls accounts for 42.5% and 2 walls accounts for 2.5%, which needed to be placed by posts and reconstructed before taking impressions.
