Cementation Techniques Flashcards
True or False: Long term failure mechanism is unknown for single Zirconia crowns.
True
Ziconia is a _____ not a _____.
ceramic
metal
Why is there concern about Zirconia transforming over time and creating flaws that lead to failures?
it is metastable….low temperature degradation
During stress corrosion, where does the stress occur?
on the underside of the crown
Silanes put a ______ coating on glass particles.
hydrophobic
Silica-based ceramics should be bonded with _____ cements to improve strength.
resin
Non-silica based ceramics are ______ to bond.
difficult
Non-silica based ceramics are strong enough to use _____ cements.
conventional
What are the two broad categories of cements/luting agents?
- Water-based
2. Resin-based
What are the three water-based cements?
- zinc phosphate
- polycarboxylate
- glass ionomers
What is polycarboxylate a combination of?
ZO fillers + liquid of Glass Ionomer
its a combo of the other two water-based cements
Why is Zinc Oxide tedious?
you must mix it (and it heats up, so you need cooled glass slab)
Glass ionomers have a stable interface and release fluoride, but they are fairly ______.
soluble
True or False: Resin Ionomers are more soluble than GI.
False, less soluble
Composites and Compomers are _____-based cements.
resin
What type of connections (2) exist between the tooth and crown and is filled by cement?
mechanical (mostly) and chemical
