ASDOH Class V Amal, Comps & GI 2015 Flashcards
What is a Class V restoration?
-Restorations involving the cervical 1/3 of the facial or lingual aspect of any tooth
- -on dentin & enamel
- -can occur in groups
- -can be sensitive
- -under crowns
Class V is an ______________
epidemic
What are other causes of class V decay?
1) Toothbrush abrasion
2) Abraction
3) Erosion (Bio corrosion)
Since multiple Class V lesions signal system issues what should we look at?
1) Systemic protective mechanisms
2) bacterial load
3) habits
What are systemic protective mechanisms to look at?
1) Immune system- immune compromised, drugs, irradiation
2) Salivary flow- Xerostomia, Sjogren’s, medications
When considering bacterial load what should we loo at?
1) Nutrition
2) Diet
3) hidden sugars
4) Compliance
- attitude
- depression
- ability to care
When considering habits what should we look at?
1) grinding
2) clenching
3) mal-occlusion
4) special diets
What are the advantages of Class V amalgam restorations?
1) Strong
2) wear resistance
3) insoluble
4) corrosion products
5) lower cost
6) less moisture sensitive
What are the advantages of Class V amalgam restorations?
1) Strong
2) wear resistance
3) insoluble
4) corrosion products
5) lower cost
6) less moisture sensitive
What are the DIS-advantages of Class V amalgam restorations?
1) Poor aesthetics
2) non-retentive
3) temperature conductive
4) inability to detect recurrent decay
What are the advantages of Class V composite restorations?
1) excellent aesthetics
2) thermally insulating
3) more elastic material
What are the DIS-advantages of Class V composite restorations?
1) Requires isolated field
2) technique sensitive
3) bond not reliable long term (~5 yrs?)
What are the advantages of Class V Glass Ionomer restorations?
1) Bond is best thermally insulating
2) fluoride release
3) similar expansion to dentin
What are the DIS-advantages of Class V Glass Ionomer restorations?
1) High acid solubility
2) poor wear resistance
3) more opaque
4) difficult to handle (limited working time and very sticky)
GI can be combined with __________?
This is useful when restorations are constantly falling out.
“Sandwich technique”
What are the advantages of Class V Glass Ionomer restorations?
1) Bond is best thermally insulating (less chance of developing micro leakage)
2) fluoride release
3) similar expansion to dentin
4) Great for high caries risk
What are the DIS-advantages of Class V Glass Ionomer restorations?
1) High acid solubility
2) poor wear resistance
3) more opaque
4) difficult to handle (limited working time and very sticky)
Which restoration should be used if…decay is mostly on dentin, very sensitive and pt concerned about aesthetics?
- Amalgam No, (b/c temperature conductive)
- Glass Ionomer? Maybe but may wear away if pt brushes too hard.
- Composite? Yes would work b/c of adequate isolation
Which restoration should be used If..pt has decay under crown and difficult to isolate, cost is an issue?
- Repair and drill out decay
- Use amalgam
Which restoration should be used if.. repairing aesthetic zone?
-Composite or GI (GI can be better) give fluoride to RECHARGE
Which restoration should be used if.. pt just had braces taken off and has decalcification and decayed areas ??
- This is considered a PHASING TX
- Remove de-mineralized area or remineralize w/ varnish or fluoride
Which restoration should be used if.. 75 yr old pat who’s filling keep WEARING and FALLING out ?
- Lateral loading causes it to FAIL
- Not enough retention so use, SANDWICH TECHNIQUE (GI + composite) !
- Amalgam not as good
