Q

what are the disadvantages of restorative materials

A
  • may not make intimate contact with the tooth surface (especially dentine) = gaps allow ingress of fluids and bacteria
  • heat is released during curing/setting reaction
  • release of chemicals = may cause pulpal irritation and lead to pain or pulpal damage, often happens if not cured well
  • micro leakage = when doesn’t bond well and gaps form

31
Q

what does setting CaOH smell like

A

germolene

32
Q

what is the setting reaction of CaOH

A
  • chelation reaction between the ZnO and the butylene glycol disalicylate
  • results in a cement with an initial pH of around 12
  • good as bacteria like acidic conditions so will die in this pH
33
Q

what is the mode of action of a CaOH liner

A
  • bactericidal to cariogenic bacteria =
    cariogenic bacteria survive in acidic environment, high alkaline liner kills bugs
  • irritation to cause reparative dentine formation =
    cement causes irritation to the odontoblast layer, necrosis follows which results in a layer of tertiary dentine to protect pulp, eventually a calcified bridge forms walling the base of the cavity off from the pulp
34
Q

what are the properties of CaOH

A
  • quick setting time
  • radiopaque
  • easy to use = mix bit from each tube
  • but has low compressive strength, would not survive under amalgam filling
  • unstable and soluble = if cavity leaks then lining will disappear, may even disappear if in contact with moist dentine
35
Q

what are the zinc oxide based cements

A
  • zinc phosphate, zinc polycarboxylate, zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE), resin modified ZOE, ethoxybenzoic acid (EBA) ZOE
36
Q

what is zinc phosphate cement

A
  • been in use for over 100 years
  • acid base reaction
  • powder and liquid (zinc oxide powder and phosphoric acid liquid)
  • excellent clinical service = strong and hardwearing
  • easy to use
  • cheap
37
Q

what is the powder in zinc phosphate cement made up of

A
  • zinc oxide >90% = main reactive ingredient
  • magnesium dioxide <10% = gives white colour, increases compressive strength
  • other oxides (aluminium and silica) = improves physical properties, alter shade of set material
38
Q

what is the liquid of zinc phosphate cement

A
  • aqueous solution of phosphoric acid (approx 50%)
  • oxides which buffer the solution = aluminium oxide (ensures even consistency of set material), zinc oxide (slows reaction giving better working time)
39
Q

what is the initial reaction of CaOH liner

A

acid base

ZnO + 2H3PO4 -> Zn(H2PO4)2 + H2O

40
Q

what is the second reaction of CaOH liner after the initial

A
  • followed by hydration reaction resulting in formation of a crystallised phosphate matrix
    ZnO + Zn(H2PO4)2 + 2H2O -> Zn3(H2PO4)2.4H2O
  • hydration reaction makes it stronger
41
Q

what does the aluminium oxide in CaOH liner do

A

prevent crystallisation leading to an amorphous glassy matrix of the acid salt surrounding unreacted ZnO powder

42
Q

what occurs because the matrix in CaOH is almost insoluble

A

matrix is almost insoluble, but is too porous and contains free water from the setting reaction
- cement subsequently matures, binding this water leading to a stronger, less porous material

43
Q

what are the problems with CaOH liner

A
  • low initial ph = cause pulp irritations
  • exothermic setting reaction = gives off heat to pulp
  • no adhesive to tooth or restoration = retention may be slightly micro mechanical causing micro leakeage with no bond
  • not cariostatic
  • final set = 24 hours
  • brittle = cant use in thin section
  • opaque = kind of creamy colour
44
Q

what is zinc polycarboxylate cement

A
  • similar material to CaOH but phosphoric acid is replaced with poly acrylic acid
  • this material had the advantage of boding to tooth surfaces in a similar way to glass ionomer cements
45
Q

what is good about zinc polycarboxylate cement

A
  • there is little heat of reaction so damages pulp less
  • the ph is low to begin with but returns to neutral/alkaline more quickly than CaOH and longer chain acids do not penetrate dentine as easily = sticks to dentine a little but to very well
  • cheap
  • opaque
46
Q

what is not good about zinc polycarboxylate cements

A
  • difficult to mix and manipulate
  • soluble in oral environment at lower ph
  • lower modulus and compressive strength than zinc phosphate
47
Q

what materials for lining are seldom used nowadays

A
  • zinc phosphate and zinc polycarboxylate
  • they were important materials for many decades and were important in the development of the more modern glass ionomer cements
48
Q

what are zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE) cements and related materials

A
  • linings/base in deep cavities = under amalgam restorations (can’t use under resin)
  • smell you get when you walk into a dentists
  • temporary restorations = resin modified or EBA ZOE
  • root canal sealer = slow setting, 24 hours
  • periodontal disease dressings = fast setting, 5 mins
49
Q

what is ZOE cement

A
  • this is still an acid base reaction
    = base is ZnO
    = acid is eugenol
50
Q

what is the setting reaction if ZOE

A
  • chelation reaction of zinc oxide with the eugenol to form zinc eugenolate matrix
  • this matrix bonds the unreacted ZnO particles
  • resin in powder do not take part in setting reaction
51
Q

what are the properties of ZOE

A
  • adequate working time
  • relatively raid setting time = sets quicker in mouth due to moisture and heat, can be modified by addition of accelerators
  • low thermal conductivity
  • low strength around 20MPa
  • radiopaque
  • high solubility
  • released eugenol inhibits set of resin based filling materials = softens them and causes discolouration
52
Q

under what material should ZOE materials not be used under

A
  • should not be used under composters resin materials
53
Q

what is the strength of ZOE

A
  • low strength around 20MPa
  • weak hydrogen bonds between eugenolate molecule;es
  • not strong enough to use as a base beneath an amalgam filling = packing pressure would damage it
54
Q

what is the solubility of ZOE

A
  • high
  • eugenol is constantly released
  • good and bad
  • eugenol is replaced by water which lead to disintegration of material (bad)
  • but eugenol when liberate has an obtundant effect on the pulp and can reduce pain (good)
55
Q

what is resin modified ZOE

A
  • resins are added the powder and the liquid = polymethylmethacrylate in IRM, polystyrene in Kalzinol
  • these resins do not take part in the reaction but give a stronger backbone to the set material = increases compressive strength to >40MPa making it suitable as cavity lining
  • resins greatly reduce solubility
56
Q

what is ethoxybenzoic acid (EBA) cement

A
  • another modifies ZOE

- reactive

57
Q

what makes up the powder of EBA

A
  • ZnO = 65%
  • quartz or aluminium = 35% (make it stronger than ZOE)
  • hydrogenated resin
58
Q

what makes up the liquid in EBA

A
  • eugenol = 37%

- ethoxybenzoic acid (EBA) = 63%

59
Q

what is the setting of EBA

A
  • as with ZOE but EBA

- encourages crystalline structure which imparts greater strength to the set material

60
Q

what are the properties of EBA

A
  • stronger than ZOE or resin modified ZOE, around 60MPa

- less soluble

61
Q

what are glass ionomer lining materials

A
  • become most widely used
  • glass ionomer can bond to and seal the dentine
  • it then in turn can bone to the composite resin filling placed over it
  • releases fluoride over time and can be cariostatic
  • chemistry of conventional and light cured glass ionomer is exactly the set as the respective filling materials
62
Q

is glass ionomer lining materials easy to use

A

yes

  • mixing is simple and many materials come a two pasts ‘clicker’ system
  • vitrebond = base in one tube, catalyst in the other
63
Q

how are glass ionomer materials set

A
  • generally light cured and so are common set

- gives a long working time and conventionally short setting time (30seconds)

64
Q

what is the thermal conductivity and diffusivity of glass ionomer lining

A
  • lower than for dentine for both GIC and RMGIC
65
Q

what is the thermal expansion for GIC

A

similar to dentine

66
Q

what is the compressive strength for GIC

A

> 170MPa

- higher than any other ZnO based material (still not as high as dentine though)

67
Q

are glass ionomer materials radiopaque

A
  • most materials are, but radiopacity varies between materials
68
Q

what is the marginal seal of glass ionomer materials

A

is better than any of the other material as there is a chemical bond to enamel and dentine

69
Q

what is the only material that can predictably seal dentinal tubules

A
  • glass ionomer lining

- this decreases micro leakage and helps prevent post treatment sensitivity

70
Q

what is solubility for glass ionomer materials

A
  • 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
  • RMGIC less soluble than any other cement
71
Q

are GIC materials cariostatic

A

possibly as fluoride is released

72
Q

what is released during the polymerisation reaction of RMGIC’s

A
  • benzoyl iodides and benzoyl bromides are released during the polymerisation reaction
  • these are cytotoxic and can be effective against residual cavity bacteria
  • but complete cure of RMGICs is required as any unreacted HEMA may damage the pulp = needs to be cured well rot kill bugs but not damage pulp
73
Q

what is the only lining able to bond to restorative materials

A

GIC

74
Q

what may some conventional glass ionomers materials require before bonding

A
  • some may require to be etched

- RMGIC’s require no surface treatment = may be possible to bond to amalgam using RMGIC’s

75
Q

what are the dental hospital lining guidelines for cavities in dentine

A
  • consider using a lining of RMGIC for amalgam and for larger cavities to be filled with composite
76
Q

what are the dental hospital lining guideline with CaOH

A
  • should be used when the cavity approaches the pulp cap over the deepest part of the cavity
  • should then be covered with RMGIC prior to a final restoration being placed
