Q

what are direct-placement aesthetic materials

A
  • tooth coloured materials that can be placed directly into the cavity preparation without being constructed outside of the oral cavity first

Q

what are indirect-placement aesthetic materials

A
  • tooth coloured materials that are used to construct restorations outside of the oral cavity in the dental lab or at chair side on replicas of the prepared teeth. they are cemented or bonded to the teeth after tooth preparation

Q

what is the composition of composite resins

A
  • resin matrix: BidGMA = monomer used to make synthetic resins = Bis-phenol A = BPA
  • polymerization additives: allow the material to take form through a chemical process. made of initiator, accelerator, retarder, UV stabilizers
  • fillers: add the strength, increase wear resistance

Q

when using BPAs…

A
  • use light-cure materials
  • BPA monomer leaches out of cured resin after light-curing (20-40 seconds)
  • to remove residual monomer: polish the surface with a mild abrasive (pumice); wash with air-water spray for 30 seconds using HVS

Q

what do fillers do in composite resins

A
  • control the handling characteristics and reduce shrinkage

- inorganic fillers: colourants = pigments in varying amounts to approximate tooth colours

Q

what are macrofilled composites

A
  • contains the largest size of filler particles
  • provides greater strength
  • duller rougher surface

Q

what are microfilled surfaces

A
  • filler particles are much smaller
  • highly polished finished restoration
  • primarily used for anteriors because of lack of strength

17
Q

what are microhybrids

A
  • contains a mix of small particles and microfine particles

- can contain high filler content because microfine particles fill in spaces between small particles

18
Q

what are nanohybrids

A
  • increase numbers of filler particles which reduces amount of resin. less resin means less shrinkage
  • strong and highly polishable
19
Q

what are flowables

A
  • low viscosity with 40-70% fill
  • nano-sized fillers being used today
  • PRR = preventative resin restoration, being used as sealants because more wear resistant due to higher filled content
  • class V restoration due to toothbrush abrasion, acid erosion, occlusal stress (bruxism) leading to abfraction
20
Q

what are pit and fissure sealants

A
  • no filler to more heavily filled (flowable)
21
Q

what are packables

A
  • condensable
  • highly viscous with a high volume filler
  • stiff consistency and shrink less
  • substitues for amalgams, used in high function areas of post teeth, are stronger and more wear resistant
22
Q

what are ‘smart’ restorations

A
  • not confirmed in clinical studies

- release fluoride, calcium, hydroxyl ions when acidity is around restoration increases

23
Q

what is core buildup

A
  • heavily filled, used in teeth needing crowns
24
Q

what is provisional restoratives

A
  • used instead of acrylic resins for temporary crowns and bridges or onlays
25
Q

what is polymerization of composite resins

A
  • the process in which the resin material is changed from a plastic state into a hardened restoration
  • monomers = low molecular weight resin molecules
  • polymers = high chain high molecular weight molecules
26
Q

what is the process for direct application of composite resins

A
  • select the shade of the tooth
  • express the needed amount of material onto the treated pad or the light-protected well
  • material transferred in increments
  • material is light-cured in increments
  • last increment is adapted to tooth anatomy
  • material is finished and polished
27
Q

what are glass ionomer cements

A
  • very versatile with chemical properties which allow it to be used for:
  • restorations
  • liners
  • bonding agents
  • permanent cements
28
Q

what are indications for using glass ionomers as a restoration

A
  • primary teeth
  • core material for a buildup
  • final restorations in non-stress areas
  • long-term temporary restorations
29
Q

what are some qualities of glass ionomer restorations

A
  • ability to chemically bind to teeth
  • less extensive preparation of tooth structure as compared to what is necessary for amalgam or composite
  • release of fluoride after the final set
30
Q

what are hybrids (resin modified) ionomers

A
  • combination of glass ionomer and resin
  • popular for primary dentition due to fluoride release and exfoliate before excessive wear becomes a problems
  • resin makes this material:
  • stronger
  • more wear resistant
  • more pliable
  • protects it from moisture
31
Q

what are compomers

A
  • composite resins and glass ionomers
  • polyacid composite resin containing fluoride-releasing silicate glass
  • fluoride is not well released and takes months to occur
  • designed for lower stress areas for patients at risk for caries
  • are similar to microfilm composite resins, but weaker
32
Q

what are surface sealers

A
  • unfilled resin can be added to the surface of the composite after finishing
  • reseals the margins and fills in any porosity created by finishing
  • obtains a smoother glossier surface
  • does wear off in about a year leaving an improperly polished surface
33
Q

what are the 4 types of light curing units

A
  1. QTH = quartz-tungsten halogen
  2. PAC = plasma arc
  3. laser = argon laser
  4. LED = light emitting diode
34
Q

how do you care for the light curing units

A
  • cover with disposable covers
  • wear uncontaminated gloves when handling
  • wipe light area to maintain intensity of light
35
Q

light curing-unit precautions

A
  • inadequate light output: lightbulbs deteriorate over time - check monthly, hardened composite on light unit will impede output
  • premature set of composite: operator light can cause initial surface set interfering with manipulation of material, move operators light away from composite
  • eye protection: light shielding device for patient and clinician
36
Q

what are castings

A
  • cannot be reshaped and carved one they are in their shape; indirect restorations
37
Q

indirect placement aesthetic restorative materials

A
  • inlays
  • onlays
  • veneers of porcelain or composite resins
  • porcelain-bonded to metal crowns
  • ceramic crowns
38
Q

casting alloys

A
  • partial crowns: 3/4 crowns, 7/8 crowns
  • full crowns: PFM: strength gained from the metal under the porcelain
  • ceramic crowns: not very strong, easily fracture
39
Q

what are veneers

A
  • thin layers of porcelain or composite that are bonded to the facial surfaces of teeth. mostly anterior teeth 5-5
40
Q

what are veneers used for

A
  • lighten colour
  • covers defects
  • close diastemmas
  • reshape crooked teeth, so they look as if they were in proper alignment
41
Q

characteristics of porcelain veneers

A
  • excellent aesthetics
  • biocompatible
  • low wear rate
  • stain resistant
  • great risk of fracture
  • wear opposing dentition
42
Q

characteristics of resin veneers compared to porcelain veneers

A
  • less wear
  • less fracture
  • stain more easily
  • not as good aesthetics
