DMS Summary Flashcards
What are the principles of cavity prep (6)
- Identify and remove carious enamel
- Identify max extent at ACJ
- Remove peripheral caries then circumferentially deeper
- Remove deeper caries over the pulp
- Outline form modification
- Internal design modification
Name some advantages of composite (5)
- Aesthetics
- Bond to tooth
- Command set
- Conserves tooth tissue
- Low thermal conductivity
What is the c factor
Ratio of bonded to unbonded SA
List some properties of composite
Radiopaque
Low setting shrinkage
Low thermal conductivity
Bonds to tooth
Biocompatible
High strength
What is composite composed of?
Filler - glass quartz
Resin - bis GMA
Photoinitiator - campherquinone
Low weight dimethacrylate - TEGDMA
Silane coupling agent
Different types of filler particles (3)
Conventional
Hybrid
Microfine
Function of resin bisgma
Undergoes free radical addition polymerisation
Difunctional molecule to allow c=c cross linking
Function of initiator
Produces free radicals
Function of silane coupling agent
Allows glass to bond to resin
Methoxy group reacts with absorbed water
Clinical factors that affect wear of composite (5)
Placement
Curing
Finishing
Occlusion
Cavity size + design
What is amalgam made of?
Liquid - mercury
Powder - copper, silver, tin, zinc
What are the types of particles in amalgam?
Lathe cut
Spherical
Setting reaction for amalgam
Powder + liquid –> unreacted particles + amalgam matrix
Unreacted zinc potential issues
Reacts with saliva/blood
Forms zinc oxide + H bubbles = increased pressure expansion of AM
or
decreased pressure = pulpal pain
List some properties of amalgam
High thermal conductivity
Corrosion
Longer handling
Not moisture sensitive
Cheaper
Worse aesthetics
Mercury toxicity
Mechanical retention required
Constituents of GI (2)
Powder
- Silica
- Alumina
Liquid
-Polyacrylic acid
- Tartaric acid
3 phases of the acid/base setting reaction for GI
- Dissolution
- Gelation
- Hardening
What happens at dissolution phase?
H ions diffuse into glass
What happens at gelation phase?
Ca ions crosslink
Initial set of GI
What happens at hardening phase?
Continued cross linking
Can last 7 days
What can happen if there is contamination during setting?
Al ions diffuse out material
Water absorbed from saliva/blood
