Cavity Lining Materials Flashcards

1
Q

What are disadvantages of restoratives?

A
  • May not make intimate contact with the tooth surface (especially dentine)
    – Any gap may allow ingress of fluids and bacteria (microleakage)
  • Heat released during setting/curing
  • Release of chemicals
    – These may be pulpal irritants and lead to pain or pulpal damage

Q

Cavity Base Vs Lining

A
  • Cavity Base
    – Thick mix placed in bulk
    – Dentine replacement used to minimise the bulk of the material or block out undercuts
    – More common in metal restorations (direct or indirect)
  • Cavity lining
    – Thin coating (<0.5mm) over EXPOSED Dentine
    -a dentine sealer able to promote the health of the pulp by adhering to the tooth structure or by an anti- bacterial action’

Q

What is the pulpal purpose of liner?

A
  • Pulpal Protection from

a) Chemical Stimuli from unreacted chemicals in
the filling material or the initial pH of the filling

b) Thermal Stimuli. eg. exothermic setting reaction of composite or heat conducted through metal fillings

c) Bacteria and Endotoxins. Microleakage – the penetration of oral fluids and bacteria and their toxins between the restorative and the cavity walls.

Q

What are the general purposes of liner?

A
  • Therapeutic. To calm down inflammation within the pulp and promote pulpal healing. Prior to or at the time of a permanent restoration being placed.
  • Palliative. To reduce patient symptoms prior to definitive treatment being carried out. Most commonly in patients with reversible pulpitis.

Q

What should the properties of lining materials be?

A
  • Easy to mix, long working time and short setting time.
  • Thermal expansion similar to dentine, Thermal diffusivity & conductivity LOW.
  • High compressive strength. To allow placement of filling without it breaking (Dentine is around 275MPa)
  • Elastic modulus similar to dentine (15-25 Gpa)
  • Provide a marginal seal by chemically bonding to dentine.
  • Radiopaque (easy to see on radiographs).
  • Cariostatic = Prevents secondary caries - Fluoride releasing and Anti-bacterial.
  • Biocompatible = Non-toxic and not damaging to the pulp.

Q

What is the setting reaction of calcium hydroxide liner and what is the pH?

A

Chelation (setting) reaction between a base (Calcium Hydroxide) and a catalyst

This results in a cement with an initial pH of around 12.

Q

What is the CaOH liner highly alkaline and how does it use irritation?

A
  • Bactericidal to cariogenic bacteria
    – Cariogenic bacterial survive in an acidic
    environment. The highly alkaline liner kills the bugs.
  • Irritation > reparative dentine formation
    – The cement causes irritation to the odontoblast layer. Necrosis follows which in turn results in a layer of tertiary dentine being produced. This eventually forms a calcified bridge walling the base of the cavity off from the pulp. (The calcium comes from the pulp not the cement).

Q

What are the properties of CaOH liner?

good v bad

A
  • Quick setting time
  • Radiopaque
  • Easy to use

But

  • Low compressive strength
  • Unstable and soluble
    – If the cavity leaks then the lining will disappear
    – It may even disappear just because it is in contact with moist dentine
  • Does not bond

Q

What are disadvantages of zinc phosphate cement?

A

Low initial pH + setting reaction is exothermic and slow - can cause pulpal irritation (for first 24 hours)

NOT Adhesive or Cariostatic

Q

What is zinc polycarboxylate cement similar to and why is it better?

A
  • Similar material to zinc phosphate but phosphoric acid replaced by polyacrylic acid.
  • bonds to tooth surfaces
  • releases less heat
  • pH neutralises quicker

Q

What are the disadvantages of zinc polycarboxylae cement?

A
  • Difficult to mix and manipulate
  • Soluable in oral environment at lower pH
  • Lower modulus and compressive strength than Zinc Phosphate.

16
Q

Are zinc phosphate and zinc polycarboylate used as linings nowadays?

A

no

17
Q

Where is ZOE (zinc oxide eugenol) used?

A
  • Linings/base in deep cavities – under amalgam restorations
  • Temporary restorations
    – Resin modified or EBA ZOE
  • Root canal sealer – Slow setting 24hrs
  • Periodontal dressings – Fast setting , 5 minutes
18
Q

How does zoe set?

A

– Chelation reaction of zinc oxide with the eugenol
to form zinc eugenolate matrix.
– This matrix bonds the unreacted ZnO particles

19
Q

What are the properties of ZOE?

A

Low thermal conductivity & diffusivity
Sets Rapidly
High solubility
Low strength

20
Q

What does the high solubility of ZOE mean?

Why is this not good for under composite resin materials?

A

– Eugenol is constantly released causing disintegration
of the material BUT eugenol effect on the pulp and can reduce pain

Released Eugenol inhibits the set of resin based filling materials. It softens them and can cause discoloration.

21
Q

What are advantages of resin modified ZOE?

A

Increases the compressive strength to >40MPa making it suitable as a cavity lining. (The resin makes crack propagation more dificult as the cracks must go AROUND the resin.)
Greatly decreases solubility

22
Q

How does EBA ZOE set and why is it better than resin modified ZOE?

A

Same as ZOE

Makes the cement less soluble and increases the strength.
(60MPa)

23
Q

What is the most commonly used lining material and how does it work?

A

glass ionomer lining
the glass ionomer can bond to and seal the dentine
It then in turn can bond to the composite resin filling placed over it
It releases fluoride over time and can be cariostatic.

24
Q

What are the properties of glass ionomer?

A

Thermal conductivity, diffusivity & expansion is lower than dentine.

Cariostatic - releases fluoride.

Bonds to tooth tissue & composite

Compressive strength is high (150-170MPa) - when compared to any other Zinc Oxide based cement.

25
Q

How does Glass Ionomer cement reduce post treatment sensitivity?

A

sealing dentinal tubules

26
Q

What is the solubility of glass ionomer lining compared to other materials?

A

Solubility is greater for GIC than (resin modified glass ionomer composite) RMGIC and is greatest initially.
* However, GIC materials are less soluble than any of the other liners apart from Zinc Phosphate cement.
* RMGIC is less soluble than any other cement.

27
Q

What compounds are released during RMGICs Polymerisation reaction?
And what property do these compounds have?

A
  • Benzoyl iodides and benzoyl bromides are released during the polymerisation reaction of RMGICs.
  • These are cytotoxic and can be effective against residual cavity bacteria.
28
Q

What is required in RMGIC to avoid damage to pulp?

A

complete cure of RMGICs is required as any unreacted HEMA may damage the pulp.

29
Q

What are the only lining able to bond to restorative materials?

A

GICs

30
Q

What may some GIs require prior to bonding?

A

conventional glass ionomer may require etching prior to bonding

31
Q

What doesn’t require surface treatment (etching)?

A

RMGICs

32
Q

What can be used to possibly bond amalgam to tooth?

A

RMGIC

33
Q

When should calcium hydroxide be used and what should it be covered by?

A
  • Calcium Hydroxide should only be used when the cavity approaches the pulp.
    – Either as a direct or indirect pulp cap over the deepest part of the cavity
  • Calcium Hydroxide should be covered with RMGIC prior to a final restoration being placed.
34
Q

What is the most appropriate material to place directly over a non-carious exposure in an asymptomatic tooth?

A

Setting calcium hydroxide
