A

Powder:
• The powder contains mainly zinc oxide (ZnO) with some magnesium oxide , may also contain small quantities of stannous fluoride.

Liquid:
• The liquid is approximately 30-40% aqueous solution of poly acrylic acid with other organic acids such as itaconic acid to prevent gelation upon storage and tartaric acid to control the setting reaction. Sodium hydroxide is added to control the pH and control the viscosity of the liquid.

25
Q

Properties of Zinc poly-carboxylate
cements

A

Biological properties
Poly-carboxylate cements are acidic but not as irritant as
phosphate cements for the following reasons:
1. Polyacrylic acid is a weaker acid than phosphoric acid.
2. Polyacid chains are too large and lack mobility required to
penetrate dentinal tubules.
3. Rapid rise of PH of mixed cements on setting to approach
5.5-6.

Varnishes Functions

A

Reduce microleakage that occurs in conjunction with amalgam
restoration.

Reduce sensitivity

51
Q

Varnish is used under amalgam restorations and contraindicated under? And why

composite restoration. The resin in the varnish comes in contact with
composite and may be inhibited the polymerization
