cavity lining materials Flashcards
what is the most widely used lining material?
glass ionomer
why is glass ionomer a good lining material?
it can bond and seal dentine
it can bond to the composite on top
it releases fluoride over time and can be cariostatic
why is glass ionomer easy to use?
mixing is simple two paste
light cured so command set
long working time short setting time
what is GIC thermal conductivity and diffusivity lower than?
dentine
how is thermal expansion in GIC compared to dentine?
similar
what is the compressive strength of GI lining materials?
> 170MPa
what are the benefits of glass ionomer linings?
radiopaque
marginal seal best as there is a chemical bond to enamel and dentine
only material to predictable seal dentinal tubules
-reduced microleakage & post op sensitivity
compare GIC to RMGIC
GIC greater solubility
GIC less soluble than other liners except zinc phosphate cement
RMGIC less soluble than any other cement
what are the disadvantages of glass inonomers?
fluoride release possible & cariostatic
benzoyl iodides and bromides released during polymerisation reaction
-cytotoxic and can be effective against residual cavity bacterial
complete cure required as unreacted HEMA may damage pulp
what lining material require etching but no surface tx?
glass ionomer
when is RMGIC used?
for cavities in dentine for amalgam and larger composite cavities
when is calcium hydroxide used?
only when cavity approaches pulp
what should calcium hydroxide be covered with?
RMGIC
-protects and prevents dissolution beneath rest.
what are the base constituents of Ca OH liner?
calcium hydroxide 50%
zonc oxide 10%
zinc stearate
N-ethyl toluene sulphonamine 40%
what are the catalyst constituents of Ca OH?
butylene glycol disaliclate
titanium dioxide
ca sulphate
ca tungstate
what is the setting reaction of a Ca OH liner?
chelation reaction between ZnO and butylene glycol disalicylate
what is the initial pH of Ca OH?
12
how is CaOH bactericidal to cariogenic bacteria?
highly alkaline liner kills bugs
how does CaOH irritation lead to reparative dentine formation?
cement causes irritation to odontoblast layer, causes necrosis -> tertiary dentine -> calcified bridge walling base of cavity from pulp
what are the properties of CaOH liners?
quick setting time radiopaque easy to use low compressive strength unstable soluble
what are the zinc oxide based cements?
zinc phosphate zinc polycarboxylate zinc oxide eugenol resin modified ZOE ethoxybenzoic acid ZOE
describe zinc phosphate cement
acid base reaction powder & liquid excellent clinical service easy to use cheap
what are the powders in zinc phosphate cement?
zinc oxide 90% magnesium dioxide -colour -compressive strength other oxides -improved physical properties
what are the liquids in zinc phosphate cement?
aqueous solution of phosphoric acid
oxides which buffer the solution
-aluminium oxide
-zinc oxide
