Q

26
Q

Dental cements that are used as a base are mixed at a _____ powder to liquid ratio to increase the final compressive strength.

27
Q

Bases provide _____ protection for the pulp and _____support for restorations.

A

thermal

mechanical

28
Q

If the ideal prep design does not remove all carious tissue, what should you do?

A

-extend access opening laterally until the DEJ is no longer carious, remove any carious dentin

29
Q

The RDT (remaining dentin thickness) after preparing a moderately carious lesion is between 0.5 and 2.0 mm thick. A base and liner are placed for amalgam and composite restorations. How do they differ?

A

Amalgam:
Base replaces the missing dentin
-GI and ZnPO4 base
-Copal Varnish or Adhesive liner

Composite:
Minimal Base theory
-GI/ZOE = base
-Copal Varnish or Adhesive = liner

30
Q

Bases and Liners often differ only by their _______.

A

consistency (Powder to liquid ratio)

31
Q

Why is zinc phosphate more difficult to use as a base?

A

a particular mixing technique must be used

32
Q

True or False: RMGI can act as both a liner and a base.

33
Q

BOARDS: When mixing CaOH for use as a liner, what is the ratio of powder to liquid?

A

mix equal portions of each

34
Q

BOARDS: When mixing ZOE for use as a liner, the paste-liquid system uses ____ drops of liquid per scoop of powder.

35
Q

True or False: Bases replace the dentin and enamel.

A

False, bases replace dentin only…do not allow it to coat the enamel margins

36
Q

Why have GI materials replaced ZnPO4?

A

Advantages of GI:

  • adheres to the tooth structure (dynamic ion process)
  • Fluoride release
  • proven clinical record of retention
  • dimensionally stable
  • biocompatible (much kinder to the pulp)
37
Q

True or False: Glass Ionomer materials increase in strength over the course of 24-72 hours as Aluminum ions replace Calcium

38
Q

KetacCem is a common type of _____.

39
Q

Caries are considered “extensive” when they are how close to the pulp?

A

when there is less than 0.5mm remaining dentin thickness

40
Q

When pulp capping, how does the type differ based on pulp exposure or near exposure?

A

Near Exposure = less than 0.5mm RDT
= INDIRECT pulp cap

Pulp Exposure = DIRECT pulp cap

41
Q

The ______ pulp cap is used as a defense by initiating reparative dentin.

42
Q

_____ days after the placement of an indirect pulp cap, the cells will differentiate.

43
Q

After ___ days there will be microscopic evidence of reparative dentin and after _____ days there will be radiographic evidence.

A

30 days = microscopic

100 days = radiographic

44
Q

How do the indirect and direct pulp cap differ?

A

They both have the 15 day differentiation, 30 day microscopic dentin, 100 day radiographic dentin
-however, the direct pulp cap is less effective and the results are not as good

A

dull pain (obtundent)

Q

Reinforced ZOE cannot be used under ______.

54
Q

Why can’t ZOE be used under composite?

A
  1. CaOH (or RMGI)
  2. Base
  3. Copal Varnish
  4. amalgam
56
Q

For deep caries (less than 0.5mm RDT or exposure) that is questionable , what should be placed in the cavity?

A
  1. CaOH

2. Sedative Fill (ZOE)

57
Q

Compare liner/base use prior to amalgam preparations:

  1. Shallow tooth prep
  2. moderate-depth tooth prep
  3. very deep tooth prep
A
  1. Shallow: varnish or sealer applied to walls
  2. Moderate: varnish or sealer on walls, liner of ZOE or CaOH for thermal protection
  3. Deep: varnish or sealer on walls, CaOH liner in deepest portion, then GI base
58
Q

How much RDT would indicate the use of medicament prior to placement of amalgam or composite?

A

less than 0.5mm RDT

you would then need a liner on top, then a sealer

59
Q

How much RDT would indicate the use of a liner prior to placement of amalgam or composite?

A

less than 2mm RDT indicates the use of liners

you would then need a sealer on top

60
Q

Always make sure that there is no basing material on ________.

A

margins!

base is only to be placed in the deeper part of the prep, away from margins
