Dental Materials Chapters 43-46 Flashcards
What has to be done prior for dentin bonding to be successful
etching to remove the smear layer
etching a tooth is to remove
the smear layer - Thin layer of build up blocking tubules
bonding agents should be cured for
20-30 seconds
tooth whitening comes in what percentages
10,16,22
where do you place a dentin bond
on the dentin of a prepped tooth
Enamel bond can only be placed on what surface
intact enamel surfaces
What are 3 types of enamel bonds
sealants, ortho brackets, resin bonded bridges
Dental bonding reduces the ____ which reduces chance of ___
microscopic gap, microleakage
How does bonding improve retention
creates a Micromechanical retention between structure and restoration
3 precautions of using acid etch
it is corrosive, protect the pulp, avoid contact with soft tissue
What is the procedure for etch
- Dry cavity prep
- apply etch and leave for 15-30 seconds
- rinse and dry thoroughly
How does a successful etch make the tooth look
chalky or frosted
If saliva contaminates acid etch what do you have to do
repeat the process from step one
3 forms of acid etch
liquid/gel
maleic acid
phosphoric acid
How is amalgam placed in the tooth
placed in prep in small increments, condensed after each increment is added
why is amalgam condensed when placed
to tightly pack into the tooth, and to rise excess mercury to the top to be scraped off
for a small amalgam restoration a __mg capsule is used
600mg
for a large amalgam restoration a ___Mg capsule is used
800mg
What separates the powder and liquid components of a capsule
a thin membrane wall
What aids in mixing inside a capsule while in the trituration machine
a pestle
Trituration is
the process in which mercury and alloy powder is mixed to form amalgam
Trituration is AKA
amalgamation in an amalgamator
Scrap amalgam (non contact amalgam)
leftover pieces, capsules, etc
Trap amalgam (contact amalgam)
suction filter containing particles from mouth
How would you properly dispose of amalgam waste
in properly labelled wide mouth containers, with a tight sealing lid
Mercury Absorption is
absorbed directly through skin contact or inhalation of vapours
Two most common controversies of mercury
- Potential harm to patient
2. Toxicity level to DHCP
the amount of mercury released from pressure of chewing is
extremely small, you’re exposed to more in day to day life
What makes the mercury in amalgam restorations almost harmless
when its combined with the other materials the chemical nature changes
mercury is part of amalgam to make the mixture more ___
workable/pliable
Physical characteristics of mercury
liquid at room temp
vaporizes at high temp
gives plasticity
highly poisonous
what are the 4 metals found in alloy powder
silver, tin, copper, zinc
a 1:1 ratio of amalgam is the
Eames technique
What are the percentages of mercury to alloy
43-54% mercury, 57-46% alloy powder
Direct restorations are
applied/created directly in the mouth
what 5 materials are used for direct restorations
amalgam composite glass ionomers tooth whitening temporary restorative materials
Indirect restorations are
created in a lab, bonded or cemented in place
4 Materials for indirect restorations
nobel alloys, basic metals, ceramic, porcelain
what is an example of a indirect restoration
ceramic crown, PFM crown, FG bridge
Polymerization is
the process of resin changing from a pliable state to a hardened restoration
Hybrid (comp resin) is a
combination of large and small particle, strong and shiny
Microfilled
tiny and shiny, small particles (anterior teeth)
Macrofilled
strong and dull, large particles (posterior)
what 4 things is resin composed of
organic resin matrix
inorganic fillers
coupling agent
pigment
organic resin matrix is a
fluid monomer called dimethacrylate
BIS-GMA stands for
dimethacrylate
the coupling agent in composite resin is for
bonding filler to the resin matrix creating strength
3 examples of inorganic fillers
quartz, glass, silica
composite resin bonds to the natural structure, therefore it
moves fluidly with contact and expanding movements
there are how many classes of glass ionomers
6
what is the most versatile dental material
glass ionomer
2 advantages of glass ionomers
chemically binds to the surface
releases fluoride
Type I glass ionomer is for
cementation of indirect restorations
type II glas ionomer is
class V restorations near gingiva and root surface
type III glass ionomer is
Liners and bases
Sealants are a class ___ glass ionomer
IV
Ortho bands and brackets are a class __ glass ionomer
V
Type VI glass ionomer is for
core build up restorations
Glass ionomer is a ___ base
insulating
polycarboxylate is a _ and _ base
protective and insulating
A non irritating cement to the root would be
Polycarboxylate
can polycarboxylate be used under direct or indirect restorations
yes
Poly carboxylate bonds to
enamel
Zinc phosphate Type II (medium grain) is used for
insulating base of Deep cavity preps
Zinc phosphate type I (fine grain) is used on
permanent cementation of indirect restorations
