Name examples of ZO based cements
Coltosol
Cavit
Name examples of ZOE based cements
Kalzinol
IRM
Name advantages of CAVIT/COLTOSOL ZO cements (3)
Radiopaque
Packable
Self cure
Name a disadvantage of CAVIT/COLTOSOL cements
Not suitable for shallow rests need 3-5mm thickness
List uses of IRM/KALZINOL ZOE cements
Base
Temp resto
Temp luting cement
Endo sealer
Name advantages of IRM/KALZINOL ZOE
- Antimicrobial (soothing effect on pulp)
- Good sealing ability
Name disadvantages of IRM/KALZINOL ZOE (2)
- Does not adhere to enamel or dentine
- Not to be used in conjunction w composite as Eugenol affects setting
Setting time of ZOE cements
7-9mins
Constituents of amalgam
Silver
Tin
Copper
Mercury
(sometimes Zinc)
What is amalgam classified by?
Particle shape and composition
List the 2 types of particle shape
Lathe cut
Spherical
Preferred particle shape of Amalgam (4)
Spherical
- Less mercury to bind materials
- Tighter packed particles
- Increased strength
- Fluid mix easier to condense
What are the 2 types of amalgam particle composition?
Conventional
High copper non Y2
Difference between conventional + high copper non y2
Y2 phase eliminated by adding copper
Advantage of high copper non y2 over conventional
Superior in:
- Corrosion resistance
- Creep
- Strength
- Durability
- Marginal integrity
How long does amalgam take to set?
24hrs
Advantages of Amalgam (4)
- Cost
- High compressive strength
- Easy to manipulate
- Less moisture control
Disadvantages of Amalgam (9)
- Sensitive to mixing technique
- Aesthetics
- No bond to tooth (micro leakage)
- Larger retentive prep required
- High thermal conductivity (may need liner in deeper cavities)
- Mercury toxicity
- Lichenoid reactions/metal allergies
- Creep (repeated stress below elastic limit)
- Corrosion
What are the constituents of composite (4)
- Resin
- Bis GMA - Filler
- Glass - Photo-initiator
- Camphorquinone allows hardening - Silane coupling agents
- Bifunctional molecule that bond resin to silica
Advantages of composite (4)
- Aesthetic
- Micromechanically bonds to tooth
- Conservative
- Low thermal conductivity (avoids plural damage from hot/cold)
Disadvantages of composite (5)
- Not condensable/packable
- Technique sensitive
- Requires moisture control
- Staining
- High thermal expansion (should be equal to tooth to reduce micro leakage)
Name brand names of GI (3)
FUJI
Chemfill
RIVA
Name functions of GI (3)
- Restorative material
- Liner
- Luting agent
What does the particle size of GI dictate?
Particle size dictates its usage
Luting + liner materials have smaller particle size
List the different types of GI
Type I
- Luting cements for crown/bridge
AQUACEM
Type II
- Class III and V restorations
Type III
- Liner/base
VITREBOND
Type IV
- Core build up
List the constituents of GI
Acid
- Polyacrylic acid
- Tartaric acid
Base
- Silica
- Alumina
- Calcium F/Aluminium F
