biocompatibility and intermediate restorative materials Flashcards
does the material affect the environment or does the environment affect the material
both
the material must be of benefit to the patient and the patient must be_____
safe from any adverse reactions
where can the biological reaction take place
either at a local level (injection site) or far removed from the site of contact (systemically)
systemically may not always be ____
readily apparent
what are cases where systemically the reaction is not readily apparent
dermatological, immune mediated or neural reactions
what is the most common reaction to dental staff
hand/facial dermatitis or respiratory symptoms
what are the possible interactions between dental restorative material and the biological environment
-postoperative sensitivity
-toxicity
- corrosion
-hypersensitivity/allergy
what is the concern about toxicity
nanomaterials. growing concern about their biosecurity and crossing the blood brain barrier and going into the CNS
what can amalgam cause
type 4 allergic reaction 24-48 hours after exposure on the oral mucosa
what are the most common allergies
metals- specifically nickel and cobalt
what did denture resins show in study
mucosal changes, contact stomatitis and burning sensations in the mouth
what can direct contact of mercury with the oral mucosa cause
oral lichenoid lesions (OLL)
what is OLL
chronic inflammatory lesion on the oral mucosa
what can amalgam tattoo cause
mucosal melanoma which is rare but highly aggressive neoplasm
what is nickel’s incidence of allergic reaction
-one of the most common causes of allergic contact dermatitis
-produces more allergic reactions than all other metals combined
where is nickel seen in dentistry
-several brands of orthodontic wires are made with nickel titanium alloy
-non-precious metal crowns contain high levels of nickel- some as high as 55%
where is titanium found
implants
who is responsible for the materials to which a patient will be exposed
dental practitioners
what is sargenti paste for root canals made with
paraformaldehyde
what can paraformaldehyde cause and where does it travel in the body
irreversible damage to connective tissue, bones nerves, chronic infection and pain
- material can travel throughout the body through blood, lymph nodes, adrenal glands, kidney and brain
what material has a positive effect on the pulp and what does it do
calcium hydroxide- stimulates tertiary dentin formation
what are intermediate restorative materials
materials that are applied to the dentin prior to the placement of the final restoration since a restoration may have an adverse effect on the pulp
what do intermediate restorative materials include
cavity varnishes, bases and liners that stay in place permanently
are intermediate restorative materials and temporary restorative materials the same
no
