Q

Why is the oxygen inhibition layer important to consider when dealing with sealants?

A

Oxygen interferes with radical polymerization, the surface of VLC materials are often uncured

Q

What are cements used for?

A

Binding restorations of appliances to tooth structure

17
Q

What are 4 water based cements?

A

Glass-ionomers, resin modified glass-ionomers, zinc phosphate, and zinc polyacrylate

18
Q

What are two resin based cements?

A

Composites and compomers

19
Q

What is an oil based cement?

A

Zinc oxide eugenol

20
Q

What is a liner?

A

A relatively thin layer of material used to protect the dentin from residual reactants that diffuse out of the restoration or oral fluids that may penetrate leaky restoration interface

21
Q

What are three kinds of liners?

A

Solution liners, suspension liners, and cement liners

22
Q

What is the thickness of a solution liner?

A

2-5 micrometers

23
Q

What is the thickness of a suspension liner?

A

20-25 micrometers

24
Q

What is the thickness of a cement liner?

A

200-1000 micrometers

25
Q

What is indirect pulp capping?

A

When a preparation is <0.5mm to the pulp calcium hydroxide liner is applied

26
Q

What is direct pulp capping?

A

When a preparation exposes pulp a dentist would place a direct pulp cap (calcium hydroxide liner)

27
Q

Calcium hydroxide liners stimulate what biologic process?

A

Reparative dentin is stimulated by this

28
Q

How does CaOH work?

A

Releases hydroxide ions (pH>11) and when ionized in low concentration odontoblast formation is stimulated

29
Q

What are three sedative restoration materials?

A

Reinforced zinc oxide eugenol, resin modified glass ionomers (RMGI), and glass ionomers (GI)

30
Q

ZOE has what that acts as obtundant (dulls pain)?

A

Oil of clove

31
Q

Why use a liners and bases?

A

To protect the pulp and minimize post-op sensitivity; acts as thermal and chemical barrier, controls inflammation of the pulp, and controls fluid movement

32
Q

What are the advantages of glass ionomer?

A

Adheres to tooth structure, fluoride release, proven clinical record or retention (better than composite), dimensionally stable, and biocompatable

33
Q

What are the disadvantages of glass ionomer?

A

Slow setting, early dissolution, optical properties, stain resistance, and poor physical properties

34
Q

What are five properties of waxes?

A

Temporary materials, should melt at lower temperatures, be carveable, burn off, and be dimensionally stable
