Q

how does CaOH irritation lead to reparative dentine formation?

25
Q

what are the 2 reactions of zinc phosphate?

A

acid base

hydration

26
Q

what are the problems with zinc phosphate cement?

A
initial pH 2
exothermic setting reaction
not adhesive
not cariostatic
final set takes 24 hrs
brittle
opaque
27
Q

describe the setting of zinc phosphate

A

aluminium oxide prevents crystalisation leading to amorphous glassy matrix of acid salt surrounding unreacted ZnO powder
matrix almost insoluble, porous contains free water from setting reaction
cement subsequently matures binding water leading to strong, less porous material

28
Q

what is zinc polycarboxylate cement?

A

similar to zinc phosphate but phosphoric acid replaced by polyacrylic acid

29
Q

what are the advantages of zinc polycarboxylate cement?

A

bonds to tooth surfaces like glass ionomer
less reaction heat
pH low to begin but becomes neutral faster
cheap

30
Q

what are the 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
31
Q

what are the uses of ZOE and related materials?

A
linings in deep cavities
-under amalgam
temporary restorations
root canal sealer
periodontal dressings
32
Q

what is the reaction of ZOE?

A

acid base
base is ZnO
acid is eugenol

33
Q

describe the setting reaction of ZOE

A

chelation reaction of zinc oxide with eugenol to form zinc eugenolate matrix
matric bonds unreacted ZnO particles

34
Q

what are the properties of ZOE?

A
adequate working time
relatively rapid setting time
low thermal conductivity
low strength (20MPA)
radiopaque
35
Q

what are the consequences of ZOE high solubility?

A

eugenol constantly released
eugenol replaced by water -> disintegration of the material
eugenol when liberated has obtundant effect on pulp and can reduce pain

36
Q

why should ZOE materials not be used under composite resin materials?

A

eugenol inhibits set of resin based materials

-softens and can cause discoloration

37
Q

describe resin modified ZOE

A
resins added to powder and liquid
-PMMA 
-polystrene in kalzinol
do not take part on reaction but give a stronger backbone to set material
increases compressive strength (40MPa)
decreases solubility
38
Q

what are the powder components of EBA cement?

A

ZnO 65%
quarts/alumina 35%
hydrogenated rosin 6%

39
Q

what are the liquid components of EBA cement?

A

eugenol 37%

ethoxybenzoic acid EBA 63%

40
Q

describe EBA setting

A

as with ZOE but EBA

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

41
Q

what are the properties of EBA?

A

stronger that ZOE/resin modified ZOE (60MPa)

less soluble

42
Q

why are lining materials needed?

A

restoratives:

  • may not make intimate contact w/ tooth surface
  • heat released during setting/curing
  • release of chemicals
  • pulpal irritant
43
Q

what is the function of lining material?

A
