PINS IN
RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY
Pins retained restorations
HISTORY
Dr. Miles Markley in 1958 cemented threaded
stainless steel wires, reporting as “pin reinforcement and retention”
Later studies showed that pins increased retention in amalgams, but decreased strength
Pin Retained RestorationDefinition: One or more pins may be required to supplement inadequate retention in a cavity for retention.
> Extension of cavity into holes or channels
> Channels are placed in dentine , pins are placed in channel.
Hence called dentine's pins
Pin Retained Restorations
Retentive Features of a Cavity
Two Types: 1. Primary or Principal means 2. Auxiliary means
1. primary or Principal means: i. Friction : a. Opposing walls b. Parallel walls c. Surface area of opposing walls d. Proximity or packing ii. Dove-tail :iii. Undercuts or inverted cones :iv. Elastic deformation of dentine
Retentive Features of a Cavity
2. Auxiliary means : i. Grooves ii. Internal boxes iii. Etching of enamel iv. Pins v. Posts etc.
IndicationsIndications 1. Mutilated / badly brocken down tooth : > For rubber dam application > For bands-attachment > For restoration of tooth2. Foundation : > For crowns > To conserve tooth-structure 3. Questionable prognosis : > Endodontically > Periododontically4. Cross linkage mode : To connect two bulky parts abnormal tooth removal5. Adjunct retention mode : To resist post rotation6. Economical :Than crowns7. Auxiliary / reciprocal retentive mode for a restoration.

Advantages of pins
i. Conserve cutting of tooth : offer retention without the need for extensive preparation of tooth structureii. Resistance : may increase resistance form of the preparation to some extent e.g. in case of cross-linkageiii. Less time consuming : need single visitiv. Less expensive : than cast-restorations
Disadvantage of pins Do not increase the strength of restorative materials Even decrease the strength of restorative materials-Reasons:
i.Induce stresses in dentine maycause : a. cracks / crazes in tooth b. micro-leakage c. pulpal damage
External or pulpal perforation Chance of micro-leakage around the pins- dentine interface
Pin Retained RestorationTypes of pins:
Four kinds of pin systems
are currently available :
1. Cemented pins
2. Friction-locked pins
3. Self-threading pins
4. Cyanoacrylate pins
1. Cemented pins :
Sizes of pins: a. 0.020''
b. 0.025''
Cemented pin
2. Friction grip / friction lock pins :
Sizes of pin : 0.0021'' or 0.022''
3. Threaded pins:- >Thread made system >Stabilock system Sizes of pins: a. Regular ( 0.031” ) b. Minim ( 0.024” ) c. Minikin ( 0.019” ) d. Minuta ( 0.015” )

Successful Pin PlacementThis depends upon following factors :
1. Stresses induced by pins insertion in the dentine
2. Retention of pin in the dentine
3. Effect of pins on restorative materials.
4. Knowledge of tooth anatomy ( External & Internal )
5. Knowledge of radiographic findings.
6. Proper techniques of placement of pins in dentin in cavity.

Proper and successful pin placementTwo factors : (i) Factors {Proper & successful pin placement depend (ii) Technique {on the factor and techniquesFactors for proper placement of pins : i. Pin size : Selection of pin size depend on : a. Amount of dentin pin size b. Retention required pin size ii. no. of pins : Depends on: a. Amount of lost tooth structure. b. Amount of dentine. c. Retention required. d. Size of pins. iii. Depth of pin in dentin : Maximum depth : 2-4mm. iv. Inter pin distance : Optimum distance : 3-5mm. v. Length or Height of pin in cavity : * Maximum height : 2mm. * 1-5 or 2mm minimum amalgam should be present above the cavity end of pin.
Proper & successful pin placement
depend on two fields :
(i) Factors (ii) Technique
Factors for proper placement of pins :
i. Pin size depends on : a. Amount of dentin pin size b. Retention required pin size
ii. No. of pins depends on: a. Amount of lost tooth structure. b. Amount of dentine. c. Retention required. d. Size of pins.
iii. Depth of pin in dentin : Maximum depth : 2-4mm. iv. Inter pin distance : Optimum distance : 3-5mm. v. Length or Height of pin in cavity : * Maximum height : 2mm. * 1-5 or 2mm minimum amalgam should be
present above the cavity end of pin.
Proper & successful placement of pinFactors of proper & successful placement of pin : (vi). Location or distribution of pins : a. The pin should always be placed midway between the pulp and tooth surface b. Place at cervical 1-3 rd of molars & premolars. c. Where greatest bulk of amalgam can be placed
(minimum 1.5mm) d. As close as possible to the line angles e. Where the greatest bulk of dentin is present f. 0.5mm away from DEJ g. 0.5mm away from axial or vertical wall cavity h. Always on flate surface / even the different levels i. Use one pin her cusp for TMS (regular) Two or more
for TMS (minimum), friction lock or cemented pins j. Limited no. Of pins should be used
General Principles
◘ Pins must be stable.
◘ Pins must not perforate into the pulp or periodontal membrane.
◘Tips of pins will be covered with at least 2mm of
amalgam.
◘Pins will clear matrix brand laterally.
General Principles
◘ Pins will not predispose to caring or fracture of tooth structure.
◘Place so pin is surrounded by 0.5mm-1.0mm of dentin .) Larger pins or non-vital teeth require 1.0mm(
General Principles
If pin is close to the DEJ, or if tooth is non-vital
Use smaller pins : regular Minim minikin -
minuta
Use hand wrench to prevent over-torquing
Monitor torque and seat pin completelyBack off pin ¼ turn
General Principles
If pin is close to the DEJ, or if tooth is non-vital
Use cemented pins
Cut groove in pin and “tap”threads in dentin
General Principles
Must provide flat seat and space around the pin
Allows more complete seating of drill
Allows maximum depth of pin channel
Allows amalgam to flow around the grasp pin
Choose pinhole direction parallel to external surface of tooth, not parallel to long axis of tooth or crown
Factors of proper & successful placement of pin :
(vi). Location or distribution of pins :
General Principles
Choose proper location for pins
Place in area of greatest bulk of dentin
Place 0.5-1.0mm from the dej to prevent crazing
Place halfway between pulp and external surface of
root if gingival margin is in cementum
Avoid furcations and depressions on roots
a.
The pin should always be placed midway between the pulp and tooth surface
b.
Place at cervical 1-3 rd of
molars & premolars.
c. Where greatest bulk of
amalgam can be placed (minimum
1.5mm)
d. As close as possible to the line angles
e. Where the greatest bulk of dentin is present f. 0.5mm away from DEJ g. 0.5mm away from axial or vertical wall cavity h. Always on flate surface / even the different levels i. Use one pin her cusp for TMS (regular) Two or more
for TMS (minimum), friction lock or cemented pins j. Limited no. Of pins should be used
Proper & successful placement of pinFactors : (vii) Direction of pins : a. Pin is placed always midway between pulp chamber and tooth surface. b. Always place the pins at the line angles of the tooth.
( C ) The following areas should be avoided : i. Pulp-chamber {areas of pulp-proximity} ii. Isthmus area iii. Bi and Tri furcation areas iv. Concavities or flutings on the outer surfaces of tooth v. Where amount of dentine is too less yo place pin e.g. Mesiofacial corners of molar teeth vi. Too close enamel or DEJ
