2. Restorative Dentistry I Flashcards

1
Q

Why is isolation important

A
  • Clean and dry field
  • Restorative materials can be moisture sensitive
  • Protects soft tissue
  • Limits chemical exposure to the patient
  • Increases access and visualization

Q

According to the cochrane Collaboration review - what did their study determine

A

Q

T/F A bonding agent can increase the retention of a resin based sealant

A

t

22
Q

Which have better retention (resin/GI) selants

A

Resin

23
Q

(T/F) Enameloplasty is recommened when sealing over incipient non-cavitated caries

A

f- Studies show enameloplasty is equal to but not better than sealant without elameloplasty

24
Q

Resin sealants should be (filled/minimally filled) and why

A

minimally filled to decrease viscosity

25
Q

Decreased sealant viscosity will lead to…

A

increased micromechanical retention of the sealant

26
Q

BPA stands for…

A

Bisphenol A

27
Q

What are the sources of BPA in the saliva after sealant placement

A
  • Direct ingredient
  • Saliva hydrolysis of BPA derivatives (Bis-GMA or Bis-DMA)
  • Trace material from manufacturing process
28
Q

Most significant time of BPA exposure with sealants is when

A

At the time of placement

29
Q

BPA exposure during sealant placement can be reduced by

A

good isolation, copious rinsing, pumice after last cure

30
Q

What are the powder and liquid components of GI

A
  • Powder= Fluoroaluminosilicate glass

- Liquid= Acrylic acid

31
Q

During mixing of GI what type of reaction occurs

A

Acid/Base

32
Q

What is the resin monomer in RMGI

A

HEMA

33
Q

Which is light cured (GI/RMGI)

A

RMGI

34
Q

As the resin component increases the fluoride component (increases/decreases) and esthetics (increases/decreases)

A

decreases….increases

35
Q

GI sealants are indicated for restorations when

A
  • Primary tooth restorations/sealants
  • Transitional sealant
  • ART (Class I > success than Class II)
  • Isolation is hard to achieve
  • Partially erupted high risk molars
36
Q

Cavity conditioner for Fuji II LC is used to

A

remove the smear layer

37
Q

How long is the GI conditioner applied for

A

10 sec

38
Q

T/F The tooth should be dessicated after conditioning the tooth for GI restoration

A

F- Rinse and dry but don’t dessicate

39
Q

What is the purpose of Fuji varnish

A

-Protects the restoration during the 24 hrs of set time

40
Q

Finishing under water spray should be done (before/after) varnish application

A

before

41
Q

Finishing under water spray for Fuji IX should be how long after the mix time

A

~6 min (for Fuji II LC it is after light cure

Q

Fuji triage is a (GI/ RMGI)

A

GI

43
Q

(White/Pink) Fuji triage can be light cured

A

Pink

44
Q

T/F the wavelength of the curing light facilitates the setting of pink Fuji triage

A

F it is the heat from the curing light not the wavelength

45
Q

What material has the highest long term fluoride release

A

fuji triage

46
Q

Fluoride application immediately prior to sealant placement (Does/Doesn’t) affect bond strength adversely

distal

49
Q

Sealants should be placed based on

A

caries risk
