Fall Lecture: Foundation with Direct Restorative Flashcards
Core build up material is aka:
foundation material
When to use core or foundation
caries, fracture, loss of filling, creation of access cavity for RCT
Core replaces:
pulp, lost tooth
Survivability of individual tooth, mostly dependent on:
amt of coronal and radicular tooth
When to asses sound structure and type of restoration:
before tx planning
ferrule:
band of circ material encircling cervical area of tooth restored w crown OR supragingival tooth structure remaining
Effective ferrule ht:
1.5-2mm, uniformly and circ around tooth
ideal core material:
stable in wet env, ease of use, rapid, hard set, high compressive, tensile stength, modulus of elasticity and fracture toughness, inert (no corrosion), cariostatic props, biocompatible, cheap, should not contract/expand too much
modulus of elasticity is related to:
rigidity
materials for foundation or core:
silver amalgam, composite resin, GI, and RMGI
Different ways composite resin can be cured:
chem, photo, dual
Indications for silver amalgam:
replacement of existing restos, large Class I, II, V, core build up, caries prone pts
Advantages of silver amalgam as core;
spherical high copper amals, have high 1h compressive strength (1 appt.), superior dimensional stability, minimal leakage, self sealing bc of percolation, less sensitive to moisture contamination, color contract for crown margin placement, MOE 3X higher than comp resin, great retention w amalcore, pins, posts, no expansion, slight contraction, no microleakage
Amalgam with high 1-h compressive strength:
spherical high copper amalgam
The lack of moisture contamination with amalgam is good for:
subgingival lesions, bleeding
Which is more rigid, amalgam or resin?
amalgam
MOE for amalgam is __ times higher than resin.

Disadvantages to silver amalgam as core:
low early strength, 15-20m setting bf crown prep, not good for esthetic zones bc of corrosion and discoloration, (EXCELLENT FOR POSTERIOR TEETH), pins can introduce stress and crazing of dentin
Amalgam sets by:
crystalization
Initial setting time of amalgam:
15-20m
3 types of dental amalgam alloys:
conventional lathe cut, spherical and admix
Best alloy type for core build up:
spherical, less time to set than the other 2, prep can be done in 20m, req less mercury bc there is less surface area, lower mercury/ alloy ratio, better props, less expansion, doesn’t stress crown
Spherical amalgam:
easily condensed, readily carved, high initial/final strength, difficult to achieve proximal contact
Why not to use spherical allow for Class 2 resto?
hard to make interproximal contact
1h compressive strength, highest to lowest:
valiant, tytin (both spherical), dispersalloy, velvaloy, phasealloy
24h compressive strength, highest to lowest:
valiant, tytin, phasealloy, dispersalloy, velvalloy
TF? Spherical alloy has both higher 1h and 24h compressive strength.

Amalcore:
coronal-radicular resto, uses pulp chamber and the coronal 2-3mm of each canal for retention of core material, post only if pulp chamber depth is not insufficient
how to overcome the fact that amalgam does not bind to prep wall?
bonding systems
Bonded amalgam technique:
dentin bonding system w viscous resin liner that physically mixes with amalgam, forms micromechanical union, increase retention to tooth
Dual cure adhesive can:
create locking w dentinal tubule by creating resin tag and hybrid layer, bonds w amalgam, retention with tooth surface is much higher
conventional amalgam:
no micromechanical chemical locking w tooth
