Q
  • Acts as a protective barrier between preparation and restoration
  • is a solution of one or more resins which when applied onto the cavity walls, evaporates leaving a thin resin film, that serves as a barrier between the restoration and the dentinal tubules.
  • Prevents amalgam stains on teeth

17
Q

DENTAL CEMENTS (6)

A

Zinc Phosphate
Zinc Polycarboxylate
Zinc Oxide Eugenol
Silicate Cement
Glass Ionomer Cement
Resin Modified-GIC

18
Q

Oldest of the cement
Not widely used today

A

Zinc Phosphate

19
Q

 first cement developed with an adhesive bond to tooth structures
Adheres to tooth structure by chelation of ca2+ in enamel and dentin by carboxyl grp of polyacrylic

A

Zinc Polycarboxylate

20
Q

Widely used , least irritating of all
Ideal for temporary restorations
Cannot be placed as liner/base when using resin-based restorations. Why?

A

Zinc Oxide Eugenol

21
Q
  • Introduced by Fletscher as an anterior esthetic filling material
  • Translucent and resembled porcelain in appearance
  • Initial esthetic was satisfactory but over a period of time, silicates degraded and stained
  • anticariogenic property is due to presence of 15%
    fluoride
  • were classed as a severe irritant to the pulp because of its low pH (acidic)
  • By the 1980s and 1990s they were gradually phased out of the market
A

Silicate Cement

22
Q

One of the most versatile cements used today

A

Glass Ionomer Cement

23
Q

Zinc Oxide Eugenol Types (4)

A

Type I Temporary cementation
Type II Permanent cementation
Type III Bases and temporary restorations
Type IV Cavity liners

24
Q

Glass Ionomer Cement Types (9; LRLPLCHAP)

A

Type 1 Luting
Type 2 Restorative
Type 3 Liner/base
Type 4 Pit & fissure sealant
Type 5 Luting for orthodontic
Type 6 Core build up
Type 7 High Fluoride releasing
Type 8 Atraumatic restorative tx
Type 9 Pediatric GIC

25
Q
  • Similar to the component of GIC + resin
     Improve bond strength, compressive and tensile strength
     Decrease solubility
     Fluoride release
    X expansion of material after setting for all ceramic restorations increasing risk of fracture
A

Resin-Modified Glass Ionomer Cement
(RMGIC)
