DMS Flashcards
Name 4 metallic post materials and 4 non metallic post materials
type IV gold
titanium
cobalt chromium
stainless steel
glass fibre
carbon fibre
zirconia
fibre reinforced resins
Name additives to gutta percha
zinc oxide as a filler
waxes as plasticisers
barium as a radiopacifier
What luting cements can be used for a MCC?
glass ionomer RMGI composite resin cement zinc phosphate poly carboxylate
How would you remove a post?
ultrasonic tips to disrupt the luting cement
masseran kits to make a gully around the post
rotosonic tips to disrupt the cement
What are additives in amalgam and what are they for?
Copper - reduces tarnishing and strengthens
zinc - oxygen scavenger
How can you reduce marginal leakage in amalgam restorations?
conventional cavity varnish (copalite) bonding agent (panavia)
What are some constituents of composite?
Resin - Bis-GMA
filler - quartz
activator - benzoyl peroxide
(compressive strength, abrasion resistance, thermal expansion and setting contraction, aesthetic qualities are defined by filler)
What are some different types of composites?
macrofilled - good mech, poor aesthetics
microfilled - good aesthetics, poor mechs
nanofilled - good aesthetics, good wear
hybrid - good mechs, good aesthetics
How would you finish a composite?
microfine diamond bur and under water spray to get gross anatomy and finishing
finishing strips for interdentally
aluminioum oxide coated discs (Sof-Lex)
What are different dentine bonding agent techniques?
etch/rinse
- Three step - acid etch, prime, bond all separate
- two step - acid etch, prime/bond
Self etching
- two step - acid etch, bond
- one step - acid etch/primer/bond - good for kids
how would you bond to a metal indirect restoration?
sandblast metal surface (micromechanical retention), 4-META conditioner, composite luting agent
How woul dyou bond to a ceramic indirect restoration?
etch, silanate, and luting agent
What are uses of glass ionomers?
- luting cements (crowns/bridges/ortho bands)
- restorative cements
- liners under restorations
- light cure/dual cure
What is the setting reaction of GI?
base + polyacid –> poly salt + water
What aesthetic restorative materials are there?
composite
GI
RMGI
compomer (F-release of GI, wear resistance of comp)
giomers - comp resin, active GI particles
ceromers - indirect comp resin. high filler content
