bases and liners Flashcards
initial stage in cavity design
outline form and initial depth
resistance form
retention form
convenience form
final stage of cavity design
remove any remaining enamel pits or fissures, infected dentin, or old rstoration pulp protection secondary retention and resitsance finish enamel walls clean, inspect, condition
intial depth of preps
.2mm-.8mm pulpally
from the DEJ usually .5mm
function of the dentin/pulp complex
formative (primary and secondary dentin)
defensive (reparative dentin)
nutritive (supplies vital cells
Sensory (protective
what can the tooth feel
pain
hydrodynamic theory
micro movemnt of tubule fluids in response to: osmolarity change thermal change desiccation pressure change high speed cutting
types of pulp health
normal/healthy
Pulpitis (reversible and irreversible)
Necrotic pulp
what to do to diagnose pulp status
patient symptoms
radiograph
clinical tests
characteristics of tooth pain
location intensity (pulp pain is sharp) cause of onset duration (does it linger) does it hurt to bite
what is done in an emergency exam
patient info about problem is gathered examination radiographs diagnostics final diagnosis
clincial methods to test pulp
cold/hot (is it present and for how long) electric Pulp test (EPT)- pain/no pain giving a value 1-80 percussion test (perioligmanet)- pain or no pain
why use a liner or a base
protect pulp and minimize post op sensitivity
act as themral and chem barrier
electrical barrier
mechanical barrier
controls inflammation of the pulp
controls fluid movement
(restorative material do not agree with the pulp
what is given to shallow amalgam tooth preps
Varnsish/sealer applied to the walls of the prep before amalgam
what is given to moderate depth preps
liners(ZOE or CaOH) for thermal protection and pulp mediation
varnish and amalgam on top
what is given to deep preps
light cured CaOH is placed in the deepest region which dentin was removed.
base of glass ionomer is used
amalgam with varnish on top
what are liners
thin layers of material used to protect dentin from residual ractants diffusing out of restoration or oral fluids that may penetration leaky tooth restorations interfaces
aid with electrical insultion, thermal protection, pulpal treatment (sometimes)
Types of liners
solution (2-5 micrometers): copal varnish, adhesives
Suspension liners (20=25 micrometers): CaOH2
Cement liners (200-1000micrometers): GI
Eugenol liners: ZOE and B & T
dentin bonding systems/sealers:optibond solo plus/gluma
what are suspension liners
any liner based on water and have consituents suspended and not dissolved
