Q

Role of fluoride

A
  • incorporates into tooth to form fluoroapetite, which is more caries resistant than hydroxyapetite
  • inteferes with adhesion of bacteria
  • promote remineralisation
  • make enamel more resistant to acid

Q

Biofilm development

A
  • adhesion/ attachment - bacteria attach to the pellicle via fimbriae, this is initial reversible adhesion
  • colonisation- primary colonisal provide new binding sites for adhesion by other oral bacteria, firm irreversible anchorage
  • maturation- development of micro-colonises and eventually to a mature biofilm
  • climax community
  • dispersal- dispersal of microbes to

Q

Roles of fluoride

A
  • incorporation into enamel crystal to form fluroapetute

Q

If caries left at ADJ and restore?

A
  • enamel at ADJ is weak and may break down restorative margin
  • unsupported enamel
  • marginal integrity is compromised
  • caries will spread laterally and towards pulp
18
Q

Amalgam constituents

A
  • mercury
  • silver
  • tin
  • copper
  • zinc - scavenger during production, oxidises and slag formed
19
Q

Two types of amalgam

A
  • traditional amalgam
  • copper enriched amalgam (13-30%)
20
Q

Gamma 2

A

GAMMA 2
- weak and poor corrosion resistance
- thin mercury

21
Q

What is creep?

A
  • when a material is repeatedly stressed for a long period at low stress levels (stress below elastic limit), it may flow, resulting in permanent deformation
  • ditching margins
22
Q

Benefits of Copper enriched

A
  • higher early strength
  • less creep
  • higher corrosion resistance
  • increased durability of margins
23
Q

Indication of amalgam

A
  • large cavity
  • moisture control cannot be achieved
  • bruxism patients
  • if aesthetics is not a concern
  • cheaper
24
Q

Contraindication of amalgam

A
  • allergy to metal
  • contact allergy
  • aesthetic
  • breast feeding
  • under 15 years old
  • less conservative
25
Composite
- aesthetics - bond to teeth - can add on - low thermal conductivity compared to amalgam - high compressive strength - biocompatible - bonds to dentine
26
Contraindication of composite
- more expensive - monomer leaching - stain - higher polymerisation shrinkage - exothermic reaction cause pulpal irritation - curing 2mm
27
Constituents of composite
- Filler particles, glass, ie: quartz/ silica (increase tensile strength, increase hardness, reduce polymerisation shrinkage) - photoinitiator, camphorquinone - Bis-GMA - low weight dimethacrylates - HEMA - silane coupling agent
28
Etch and bond
- etch to roughen surface and remove smear layer from dentine - create micropores for micromechanical retention - prime and bond to create an adhesive layer for composite to bond to tooth surface - bond has Bis-GMA and form hybrid layer with collagen network
29
What does primer do?
- penetrate in dentinal tubules - hydrophilic and hydrophobic end
30
Dental cement uses
- luting agent - cavity sealers - protection of pulp - cementing post and core -
31
RMGI/ GI
- for non- load bearing area
32
too much etch and dry
- dentinal tubules collapse
33
Differences of RMGI and GI
- RMGI has resin - RMGI has higher compressive strength - better aesthetics - better bond to tooth
34
self cure
- conventional GI
35
light cure
- RMGI, ie: RIVA
36
Disadvantages of RMGI
- monomer leakage
37
Fluoride varnish reduce dentine sensitivity
- block dentinal tubules - fluoroapatite - calcium fluoride
38
Colophony resin in fluoride varnish
- hardens in contact with saliva and allows longer retention of fluoride varnish on tooth surface
39
what to do after internal bleaching and shade match?
Reverse acidity with Ultracal before white GP
40
Medical contraindications to whitening
- G6PD deficiency - Acatalasemia - they cannot metabolize hydrogen peroxide
