Q

3 main disadvantages of restorative materials

A

May not make intimate contact with the tooth surface (especially dentine)
- Any gap may allow ingress of fluids and bacteria
Common problem - spaces

Heat released during setting/curing e.g. composite (detrimental to pulp)

Release of chemicals
- These may be pulpal irritants and lead to pain or pulpal damage

Q

how to resolve problems caused by restorative materials which may cause pulpal damage?

A

A lining material

  • Prevents gaps
  • Acts as a protective barrier

Less need for them as more composite used rather than amalgam

Q

3 purposes of liners

A

Pulpal Protection

Therapeutic.
- To calm down inflammation within the pulp and promote pulpal healing. Prior to or at the time of a permanent restoration being placed. Reduce pain

Palliative.
- To reduce patient symptoms prior to definitive treatment being carried out. Most commonly in patients with reversible pulpitis. (More insulative before placing final restoration)

Q

liners are pulpal protection from:

A
  • Chemical Stimuli from unreacted chemicals in the filling material or the initial pH of the filling
  • Thermal Stimuli. eg. exothermic setting reaction of composite or heat conducted through metal fillings
  • Bacteria and Endotoxins. Microleakage – the penetration of oral fluids and bacteria and their toxins between the restorative and the cavity walls.
    (Bond to surface of tooth – impenetrable so bacteria cannot progress in)

Q

ideal thermal conductivity of cavity liners

A

ideally should be low
- want poor to protect the pulp same

How well heat energy is transferred through a material –

Heat flow through a cylinder of unit cross-sectional area and unit length, with a temperature difference of 1oC between the ends
- Units are W/m-1/oC-1

Denture base should be high - want patient to feel heat of food, want good
Restorative material should be low
Cavity lining as low as possible - want poor to protect the pulp same

Q

should liners be radiopaque?

A

yes
- Should be easy to see the difference between lining and tooth. This makes it easier to see the if there is any leakage or secondary caries

If radiolucent will look like caries - unable to tell difference (used to be case)

Q

catalyst in setting calcium hydroxide

A
  • Butylene glycol disalicylate (reactive element) 40%
  • Titanium Dioxide (filler) 13-14%
  • Calcium Sulphate (filler) 30%
  • Calcium Tungstate (filler and radiopaquer) 15%
25
Q

what is the setting reaction in calcium hydroxide liner?

A

chelation reaction between the ZnO and the butylene glycol disalicylate.
- Acid base reaction between calcium hydroxide and acid catalyst

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

26
Q

mode of action of CaOH liner

A

Bactericidal to cariogenic bacteria

Irritation leads to reparative dentine formation

27
Q

bactericidal action of CaOH liner

A

Cariogenic bacterial survive in an acidic environment. The highly alkaline liner kills the bugs. pH12 good as bugs that cause caries like acid environment - die

28
Q

why tertiary dentine forms due to CaOH?

A

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).

  • Cause a degree of irritation in pulp which initiates tertiary dentine being laid down, increasing the distance between cavity base and pulp
29
Q

3 advantages of CaOH

A
  • Quick setting time
  • Radiopaque
  • Easy to use
30
Q

4 disadvantages of CaOH

A
  • Low compressive strength (can’t put amalgam on top, will crack)
  • Unstable and soluble
  • If the cavity leaks then the lining will disappear – break restoration
  • It may even disappear just because it is in contact with moist dentine
31
Q

5 types of zinc oxide based cements

A
  • Zinc Phosphate
  • Zinc Polycarboxylate
  • Zinc Oxide Eugenol (ZOE)
  • Resin Modified ZOE
  • Ethoxybenzoic acid (EBA) ZOE
32
Q

clinical properties of zinc phosphate cement

A

In use for 100+ years, under silver amalgams

Acid base reaction

Powder and liquid

Excellent clinical service
- Over time hardens
- Decent base
- Insulating
Under many restorations may need to remove
Need to understand that extremely strong and hard-wearing material

Easy to use

Cheap

33
Q

constituents of zinc phosphate cement powder

A

Zinc Oxide >90%
- Main reactive ingredient)

Magnesium Dioxide <10%

  • Gives white colour;
  • Increases compressive strength

Other Oxides (Alumina and Silica)

  • Improve physical properties,
  • Alter shade of set material
34
Q

constituents of zinc phosphate cement liquid phase

A

Aqueous solution of phosphoric acid (approx. 50%)

Oxides which buffer the solution
- Aluminium oxide
(Ensures even consistency of set material )
- Zinc Oxide
(Slows the reaction giving better working time)

35
Q

reaction of zinc phosphate cement

A

The initial reaction is acid base
ZnO + 2 H3PO4 –> Zn(H2PO4)2 + H2O

This is followed by a hydration reaction resulting in the formation of a crystalised phosphate matrix – makes stronger
ZnO + Zn(H2PO4)2 + 2H2O –> Zn3(H2PO4)2.4H2O

The aluminium oxide prevents crystalisation leading to an amorphous glassy matrix of the acid salt surrounding unreacted ZnO powder. (ZnO powder surrounds zinc phosphate)

matrix is almost insoluble, but it is porous (with time) and contains free water from the setting reaction. But still strong

The cement subsequently matures binding this water leading to a stronger, less porous material

36
Q

physical properties of zinc phosphate cement

A

matrix is almost insoluble, but it is porous (with time) and contains free water from the setting reaction. But still strong

The cement subsequently matures binding this water leading to a stronger, less porous material

37
Q

7 problems with zinc phosphate cement

A

Low initial pH approx. 2
- Can cause pulpal irritation as pH can take 24hrs to return to neutral

Exothermic setting reaction – gives off heat

Not adhesive to tooth or restoration

  • Retention may be slightly micromechanical due to surface irregularities of cavity
  • No chemical bond to tooth

Not cariostatic

Final set takes 24hrs (reasonably hard within 5 minutes, could probably pack on top of then)

Brittle

Opaque

38
Q

good use of zinc phosphate cement in modern clinics

A

good as temporary dressing which will remove and replace with resin based restorative e.g. inlay
- No need to drill as doesn’t stick to tooth

Glue for sticking on crowns - temporary crown worried about cementation can use this to stick on better, since wont bond to tooth can remove all cement before placing final crown

39
Q

zinc polycarboxylate cement advantages

A

material had the advantage of bonding to tooth surfaces in a similar way to glass ionomer cements.
- Main advantage – sticks to dentine, not as well as glass ionomer though

There is less heat of reaction.

The pH is low to begin with but returns to neutral more quickly and longer chain acids do not penetrate dentine as easily.

  • Higher pH so less toxic to pulp
  • Polyacrylic acid is bigger so less penetrable

Cheap.

40
Q

5 disadvantages of zinc polycarboxylate cement

A
  • Difficult to mix
  • Difficult to manipulate
  • Soluble in oral environment at lower pH
  • Opaque
  • Lower modulus and compressive strength than Zinc Phosphate
41
Q

4 uses of zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE) cements

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

42
Q

reaction of zinc oxide eugenol

A

base acid reaction
- base is ZnO
- acid is Eugenol
Base + Acid –> Salt + Water

Chelation reaction of zinc oxide with the eugenol to form zinc eugenolate matrix.

This matrix bonds the unreacted ZnO particles same idea as zinc phosphate

43
Q

ZOE properties

A

Adequate working time

Relatively rapid setting time

  • Sets quicker in the mouth due to moisture and heat
  • Can be modified by addition of accelerators
  • Expands on setting

Low thermal conductivity

Low strength around 20MPa

  • Weak hydrogen bonds between the eugenolate molecules
  • Not strong enough to use as a base beneath an amalgam filling. The packing pressure would damage it. But can be used as a long term filling

Radiopaque

High solubility
- Eugenol is constantly released
- This is good and bad
Eugenol is replaced by water which leads to disintegration of the material (more brittle and break up)
BUT
Eugenol when liberated has an obtundant effect on the pulp and can reduce pain

44
Q

can zinc oxide eugenol be used as a liner for resin based liners

A

no
softens them and can cause discoloration.
- Acts as a plasticizer

ZOE materials should NOT be used under composite resin materials – as they will not set

45
Q

advantage and disadvantage of high solubility of ZOE

A

Eugenol is constantly released
- This is good and bad
Eugenol is replaced by water which leads to disintegration of the material (more brittle and break up)
BUT
Eugenol when liberated has an obtundant effect on the pulp and can reduce pain

46
Q

what resins are added to resin modified ZOE

A
  • Polymethylmethacrylate in IRM
  • Polystyrene in Kalzinol

added to the powder and liquid

47
Q

what do resins do in resin modified ZOE

A

These do not take part in the reaction but give a stronger backbone to the set material (act as a filler)
- increases the compressive strength to >40MPa making it suitable as a cavity lining. – resin chains make whole material stronger

Greatly decreases solubility

48
Q

Ethoxybenzoic acid) EBA cement

A

modified ZOE

Same acid base reaction

  • Quarts and alumina in matrix – stronger, reinforcing
  • EBA longer chain eugenol – stronger, reactive

Powder
- ZnO 65%; Quartz or Alumina 35%; Hydrogenated rosin Around 6%

Liquid
- Eugenol 37%; Ethoxybenzoic acid EBA 63%

49
Q

properties of Ethoxybenzoic acid) EBA cement

A

Stronger than ZOE or resin modified ZOE, around 60MPa
- Suitable for amalgam filling, medium-long term temporary dressing

Less soluble

encourages crystalline structure which imparts greater strength to the set material

50
Q

what are the most widely used lining materials

A

glass ionomers

51
Q

glass ionomers can bond to….

A

can bond to and seal the dentine

It then in turn can bond to the composite resin filling placed over it

52
Q

10 advantages of glass ionomer linings

A

cariostatic - releases fluoride

easy to use (clicker system)

command set

Thermal conductivity and diffusivity are lower than dentine for both GIC and RMGIC

Thermal expansion is similar to dentine for GIC, RMGI is less but still better than filling material

Compressive strength is > 170MPa, higher than any of the ZnO based materials

Most materials are radiopaque, the radiopacity varies between materials.
- Good as can tell difference between them and caries

Marginal seal is better than any of the other materials as there is a chemical bond to enamel and dentine.
- Good as prevents secondary preventative barrier from microleakage of pulp

They are the only material to predictably seal dentinal tubules.
- This decreases microleakage and helps prevent post treatment sensitivity

Solubility is greater for GIC than 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.
53
Q

why light cure is good for GIC?

A
  • This gives a long working time and a conveniently short setting time (30 seconds)
  • Unlike all previous material which where own rate set, glass ionomer is command set
54
Q

why complete cure of RMGICs is important?

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.

complete cure of RMGICs is required as any unreacted HEMA may damage the pulp too
- As cytotoxic to both bacteria and pulp so need fully cured to prevent damage to pulp but provide protection from bacteria

55
Q

unique advantageous property of GICs

A

only lining able to bond to restorative materials.

Some conventional glass ionomer materials may require to be etched prior to bonding.
- RMGICs require no surface treatment

56
Q

linings in cavities in dentine

A

Consider use of a lining of RMGIC (such as vitrabond) for amalgam and for larger cavities to be filled with composite

57
Q

what should be used when cavity approached the pulp?

A

calcium hydroxide
- Either as a direct or indirect pulp cap over the deepest part of the cavity

because:
- Protect from hot and cold e.g. heat of composite setting)
- place as dentine isn’t good for bonding point of view
(Glass ionomer bonds to Ca ions instead of mesh way of composite)

58
Q

what should calcium hydroxide be covered with?

A

RMGIC prior to a final restoration being placed.

- to protect it and stop CaOH being dissolved away
