Definition
• Tooth preparation is the mechanical alteration of a defective, injured, or diseased tooth to receive a restorative material that reestablishes a healthy state for the tooth, including esthetic corrections where indicated and normal form and function.
Mechanical alteration
Defective
Injured
Diseased
Restorative material
tooth
Healthy state
Esthetic Form Function
• For tooth:1. Remove the defect conservatively.2. Provide necessary protection to the pulp.3. Prevent further fracture of tooth.
.
Objectives of cavity preparation
• For the restoration:1. Prevent further fracture of restoration under
masticatory forces2. Prevent displacement of restoration3. Allow for esthetic and functional placement
of restoration

Objectives of cavity preparation
Principles of cavity preparation:
• Biological principles.
i. Protection of the pulp(thermal, mech, chem, bact.).
ii. Prevention of caries recurrence.
iii. Aseptic conditions.
• Mechanical principles.
I. Biological principles
Biological principles
• Health and integrity of remaining tooth tissues
1 .Protection of the pulp 2 .Prevention of caries recurrence
3 .Aseptic procedures
1. Protection of the pulp.i. Mechanical .ii. Thermal.iii. Chemical.iv. Bacterial.
I. Mechanical irritation.
Protection of the pulp
AVOID!!!1. Overcutting of enamel (width).2. Overcutting of dentin (depth) Cutting of the OP
close to the cell body may result in irreversible injury3. Excessive pressure application during excavation
or use of rotary tools4. Injudicious use of small pointed instrument.5. Avoid use of eccentric rotary tools “Shock-
wave” phenomena.6. Cutting across recessional lines of pulp
II. Thermal irritation.
Thermal irritation:
TTZ (thermal tolerance zone) of dentin which
ranges between 85-132 F
1. Minimizing the frictional heat resulting in
cavity preparation via, decreasing friction:
speed, pressure, area of cutting, mode and time
of cutting. Using tools with high cutting
efficiency (sharp, suitable, and proper sized).
2. the intentional use of coolants
• copious in amount
• Multi directed
Air-water spray jet is considered to be the most appropriate (Why?)
air drying stream desiccate the dentin water stream disturbs visibility during work.
The temperature of coolant should be that of the mouth i.e.37 C (Why?)• Lower temperatures fogging, disturbs vision
and may irritate the pulp. • Higher temperatures not effective in cooling.
Thermal Injury:“Blushing” of teeth during or after cavity prep is
attributed to frictional heat• Pink or purple color due to vascular stasis of sub-odontoblastic capillary plexus blood flow which rupture and release RBC’s.
III. Chemical irritation.
Chemical irritation:
• Cavity cleansers, cavity sterilizers like
phenolic and alcoholic agents proved to
have an insignificant role in preventing or
decreasing secondary caries and thus their
use must be omitted.
• Chemical irritation to dentine-pulp organ
without pulpal bacterial contamination did
not produce harmful effects on the pulp in
spite the existence of a very thin protective
dentin bridge or even in cases of micro- or
macroscopic pulp exposures.
IV. Bacterial irritation.
Bacterial irritation:
• Sterilization of instruments is essential
since bacterial ingress to the pulp can pass
through minute undetected exposures in
case of thin dentine bridge barrier
• Use of rubber dam to isolate the field of
operation
:
2. Prevention of caries recurrence
Prevention of caries recurrence
1. Remove all carious enamel and dentin2. Inclusion of all liable areas (pits &fissures)
Recurrent caries due to improper extension
3. Removal of all undermind enamel
4-Correct CSA compatible with restorative material
3. Aseptic procedures.
Aseptic procedures
1. Use of sterile instruments
2. Isolation of operative field
3. Use of personal protective barriers
II. Mechanical principles
Mechanical principles
• Structural integrity of both tooth and restoration demanding:
Provision of correct resistance Provision of adequate retention
Correct cavity design decrease the magnitude of the destructive stresses by:
• Inclination of walls
• Locating the margins
• Flat, smooth walls and floors
• Line and point angles
• The cavity design should decrease the deleterious and damaging effect of tensile stresses created within the tooth as a result of defect by:
1. Conservation2. Removal of weakened tooth structure and undermined
enamel3. Provision of bulk in the brittle restorations for stress
distribution so that the destructive forces could not damage the brittle restoration.
4. Provision of adequate means of retention to prevent displacement of restoration under functional forces.
