16
Q

CaOH is an irritant, why is this good?

A
  • High pH (kills microbes)
  • Causes irritation to odontoblast layer, this results in tertiary dentine being made, this calcified bridge helps seal off the pulp
17
Q

what is Ultracal?

A

a non-setting CaOH

18
Q

what is ultra cal used for?

A

when performing a pulpotomy, ultracal can be used to temporarily fill canals

19
Q

what is the composition of Conventional GIC?

A
Polyacrylic acid 
Tartaric acid
Silicate glass 
Alumina 
Calcium fluoride 
(calciumfluoroaluminasilicate glass)
20
Q

what are the steps of the setting reaction of GIC? Explain each in simple terms:

A
  1. Dissolution = H+ ions attack surface of glass particles
  2. Gelation = inefficient Ca cross links form to create calcium polyacrylate chains
  3. Hardening = aluminium polyacrylate chains are formed
21
Q

why must the environment be kept dry during setting of GIC?

A

water causes the Al to leak out and weaken the bond

22
Q

what are the steps of tri-curing in the RMGIC setting reaction?

A
  1. initial acid-base setting reaction SAME as conventional GIC
  2. the REDOX reaction begins (this causes setting in the dark)
  3. light activation causes free radical reaction to occur resulting in resin matrix formation
23
Q

what is the setting reaction of ZOE?

A

An acid base reaction
- chelation reaction of zinc oxide with the eugenol to form a zinc eugenolate matrix which bonds to the unreacted ZnO particles

24
Q

how strong is conventional ZOE?

A

Low strength = 20MPa

25
Q

why is conventional ZOE not used as a cavity lining?

A

low compressive strength

26
Q

how does resin modified ZOE differ from conventional ZOE?

A
  • resins are added to the powder and liquid

- has an increased strength of 40MPa

27
Q

how does ethoxybenzoic acid ZOE differ from conventional and resin modified ZOE?

A

higher strength of 60MPa and lower solubility

28
Q

what is the gamma phase in the amalgam setting reaction?

A

Ag3Sn

29
Q

what is the Gamma 1 phase in the amalgam setting reaction?

A

Ag2Hg3

30
Q

what is the gamma 2 phase in the amalgam setting reaction?

A

Sn7Hg

31
Q

what is the amalgam setting reaction?

A

Ag3Sn + Hg —> Ag3Sn + Ag2Hg3 + Sn7Hg
