24
Q

what materials are radiopaque

A

boron or zinc

25
Q

what do we need for a light activated composite- free radical activation

A

1.For light activated materials:
◦ Photo initiator - camphorquinone
◦ Amine accelerator (diethy-amino-ethyl-methacrylate)
◦ Polymerization inhibitor – hydroquinone (prevents setting during storage)

26
Q

what are examples that give the right wavelength of light

A

blue light emitting diode
plasma arch light
argon laser
halogen light

27
Q

what is the filler size of macro filled particles

A

8-12 micrometres

28
Q

what is the filler size of small particle

A

1-8 micrometres

29
Q

what is the filler size of hybrid

A

0.4-1 micrometres

30
Q

what is the filler size of micro filled

A

0.04-0.4 micrometres

31
Q

what is the filler size of nano hybrid

A

0.02-2.5 micrometres

32
Q

what is the filler size of nano filled

A

culsters 0.06-1.4 micrometres

33
Q

what is the disadvantages of composite

A

polymerisation shrinkage
technique sensitive- water control
doesn’t bond to a tooth- need a bonding agent

34
Q

what is shrinkage

A

the development of gaps

35
Q

what does shrinkage lead to

A

leads to sensitivity
secondary caries
staining

36
Q

what do we need for moisture control

A

good gingival health
cotton wool rolls
rubber dam

37
Q

Contra - Indications of composite

A

Where moisture control cannot be achieved • Subgingival restorations
• Composite polymerization is reduced in the presence of Eugenol (don’t use with ZoE)
Very deep restorations…pulpal irritation due to un set monomers…. (new materials/techiques/ place a linner).

38
Q

what are the stages in the bonding phase

A

Total etch – etch enamel and dentine for 15 seconds. Wash off all acid for at least 15 seconds
dry- slightly for 5-10 seconds

39
Q

what substance do we use to etch

A

37% phosphoric acid

40
Q

what changes in enamel occur when etching has taken place

A

creates micro porous layer
increases SA
increases wettability
increases surface energy

41
Q

what changes in dentine occur when etching has taken place

A

removes smear layer
unblocks and widens dentinal tubules orifices
exposes network of collagen fibres

42
Q

what do we need to use when bonding

A

apply primer
thin by drying slowly
light cure for 20-30 seconds

43
Q

what are bonding agents

A

chemicals that allow the composite to bond to teeth

the common used technique is 2 step-total etch followed by prime and bond

44
Q

what is the hybrid layer

A

is the ’zone’ of resin interlocking with demineralised dentine surface. responsible for micromechanical bonding between tooth and resin

45
Q

what wavelength of light is present in the light curing

A

450-490nM

46
Q

benefits of composite

A

sets material when you want

47
Q

disadvantages of composite

A

limited depth for curing only 2mm

48
Q

what is the oxygen inhibition layer

A

glossy film of uncured resin

49
Q

what can we use for tooth separation

A

Matrix strip and wedge

50
Q

what can matrix bands and wedges stop

A

to prevent bonding two adjacent teeth together and to help shape proximal surfaces

51
Q

what do we use to separate teeth on posterior surfaces

A

matrix bands

52
Q

what do we do after the restoration and and polishing

A

finishing and polishing

53
Q

what do we consider when finishing a tooth

A

removal of XS material and get the correct shape

54
Q

what can we use to finish a tooth

A

finishing burs

abrasive discs

55
Q

why do we polish a tooth

A

to get a high polish

56
Q

what do we use to polish a tooth

A

soflex discs

abrasives such as polishing points

57
Q

what are the different type of discs

A

course
medium
fine
superfine

58
Q

what are interproximal strips

A

used for removing overhangs

Insert and use below contact area to maintain proximal contact
