1
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

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
Q

Composite

A
  • aesthetics
  • bond to teeth
  • can add on
  • low thermal conductivity compared to amalgam
  • high compressive strength
  • biocompatible
  • bonds to dentine
26
Q

Contraindication of composite

A
  • more expensive
  • monomer leaching
  • stain
  • higher polymerisation shrinkage
  • exothermic reaction cause pulpal irritation
  • curing 2mm
27
Q

Constituents of composite

A
  • 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
Q

Etch and bond

A
  • 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
Q

What does primer do?

A
  • penetrate in dentinal tubules
  • hydrophilic and hydrophobic end
30
Q

Dental cement uses

A
  • luting agent
  • cavity sealers
  • protection of pulp
  • ## cementing post and core
31
Q

RMGI/ GI

A
  • for non- load bearing area
32
Q

too much etch and dry

A
  • dentinal tubules collapse
33
Q

Differences of RMGI and GI

A

  • RMGI has higher compressive strength
  • better aesthetics
  • better bond to tooth
34
Q
