Cavity bases, liners, and varnishes Flashcards
What is needed when the removal of carious dentin is necessary (beyond the min depth required by principles of mech’l design?
-cav liner, intermediary base, cement base, or combination
why sound dentin the best barrier bet resto mat’l and pulp?
minimal dentin will be the cause undesirable effects toward the pulp because of resto mat’l
name 5 pulp irritants
- injudicious cutting of dentin
- acids and monomers in cements and composites
- thermal changes conducted by metallic restove matl
- fluid and bacteria at th-filling interface
- transmission of occ forces to the filling matl
what are 4 functions of Cavity liners?
- chemical barrier against acids and monomers
- stimulate formation of reparative dentin
- sterilize residual carious dentin w/ its anti-bacterial action
- can be used in direct and indirect pulp capping
what is direct PC?
-directly cover pulp w/ liner (becoz of pulp exposure)
what is indirect PC?
-leave some carious dentin and cover w/ CaOH to stimulate reparative dentin
name 3 properties of cavity liners?
- compatible w/ most resto’ve mat’l-thin
- low compressive strength-so can’t be under Am
- high solubility-(never leave on cavosurface margins bec it will dissolve and leave a gap => microleakage
what are the manipulation of cavity liner? 5 steps…
- mix equal amts of two pastes ona paper mixing pad, fast.
- apply using dycal applicator
- apply to (deeper) dentin portions close to pulp
- don’t mix CaOH on floor of cavity- if cav is large, mix in small amts then apply then repeat
- after setting, you can trim excess w/ spoon excav, gently.
- Name the components of liners
- Name the bases
- CaOH or zinc, CaOH in methyl cellulose or hydroxyl ethyl cellulose paste, CaOH w/ distalled water (CaOH w/ ZnO, Titanium Dioxide) (Ca Tungstate, Disalicylate ester, ZnO)
- ZnPO4 cement, reinforced ZnO-Eug cement, ZnPolycarboxylate cement, GI cement
what are 2 uses of cavity bases?
- provides chemical and thermal insulation
2. provides strong support during insertion of permanent filling mat’l w/c receives masticatory forces
Name the base with these properties:
- high compressive strength
- acidic pH
- may be mixed to a putty consistency depending on the amt of powder (u can mold it)
Zinc phosphate
manipulation of Zinc phosphate
- use a cool glass slab so setting can be delayed (for longer working time, where we can incorporate as much powder as we can so putty consistency
- glass slab should be dry or else will decrease the working time
- mix in circular motion over a large area, dividing in increments to be mixed
- if too dry-will crumble
- if too thin-too weak , will stick to instrument
how to apply Zinc phosphate (4)
- using woodson filling inst, get a portion and mold it into a ball
- plug it flat and smooth inside the cavity while it still has softness
- before setting, remove the excess in cav walls esp cavosurf (or microleakage)
- it shd only be as thick as possible to provide sufficient bulk for Am
Name the base with these properties:
- bacteriostatic
- eugenol portion interferes w/ setting of filled and unfilled resin so never use as a base for composite resins
- has low potential to irritate [pulp]
- compressive strength lower than ZnPO4
Reinforced Zinc Oxide-Eugenol
how to manipulate Zinc Oxide Eugenol in 3 steps
- use a clean, dry glass slab and cement spatula
- mix in large increments via a folding motion; mixing complete in 1 min
- consistency is putty-like [smooth]-sets into stronger mass
