Dental Materials and Tissue Engineering Flashcards
What is the goal of a restoration (4 things)?
- esthetics
- restore function
- biologic function
- mechanical function
T/F: Current dental materials are largely biologically inert.
True
What is the goal of tissue engineering?
Recreate natural tissues
Stimulate body to regrow tissues
T/F: Natural tissue is always superior.
True
Name three common BIOactive dental materials.
Glass Ionomers
ZOE
Ca(OH)2
T/F: The pH of GI liquid is 1.0.
True
T/F: GI liquid is 50% polyacid copolymer and 50% aqueous solution.
True
ZnO is the _____ component and Eugenol is the _____ component .
zinc oxide POWDER eugenol LIQUID (oil)
T/F: Reinforced ZOE shrinks when set.
False, it EXPANDS in order to seal
T/F: ZOE cannot be used under composite.
True!
T/F: ZOE enhances polymerization.
FALSE FALSE FALSE
An indirect pulp cap with _____ helps to initiate reparative dentin.
Calcium Hydroxide
How long does it take to form reparative dentin?
15 days- cells differentiate
30 days- microscopic reparative dentin
100 days- radiographic reparative dentin
In order to heal or regenerate tissues, ____ must be suppressed, the _____ must be regulated, and specific cells must be recruited.
inflammation suppressed
immune response regulated
What are the three methods of tissue engineering?
- Cellular based (genetic manipulation, growth factors)
- Scaffold based (cells, growth factors)
- Distraction Osteogenesis
T/F: Injection of cells and growth factors at a site that needs regeneration will cause cells to regrow tissue.
True, this is cellular Tissue Engineering
What is the problem with cellular TE?
- cells can die quickly
- produce tumors
- source issues
T/F: Cellular engineering can induce tumor formation.
True
____ ____ can be totipotent, pluripotent, multipotent, poligopotent, and unipotent.
Stem Cells
T/F: A fertilized egg is a stem cell.
FALSE, they cannot continuously replicate
_______ stem cells can differentiate into any cell type
Pluripotent
Pluripotent stem cells are derived from ____
embryos or embryonic tumors.
Pluripotent stem cells can replicate and self-renew or they can form _____
neurons
T/F: Embryonic stem cells show quick growth in culture.
False, slowwwww
