Final sweep 2 Flashcards
Types of pins
cemented, friction locked, threaded
Adhere directly to tooth
RMGI
Require adhesives
composites
Ionomers need a clean intact ———• Ionomers attach by chelating with —— (metal ions)
dentine surface with exposed mineral
HA surfaces
Adhesives need a ——–• Hybrid layer
demineralized dentin surface with exposed collagen
Conditioners
(used with Glass ionomers) Mild organic acids • Solublizes smear layer • Remove smear layer • Leave smear plugs intact • Does not demineralize dentin or enamel • Cleans surface
with RMGI - Polymerization
shrinkage
• swelling from water sorption –
zero net dimensional change
• RMGIs have improved strength but less —- (vs GI)
stiffness
pulp pain is usually
sharp
• IfRDTis>2.0mm use a
liner
Copal varnish
• 2 layers
85% sealed
Copal varnish for
amalgam only
—– are the most commonly used bases now.
GI and RMGI
• If RDT is 0.5-2.0 mm
• Base(replacesmissing Dentin)
Then go with liner overtop
Apply Calcium Hydroxide (CaOH2) liner for
near pulp/pulp cap
Coherent beams of light –
All the photons that make up laser light are said to be ‘in phase’ because the photons are all generated by the same material and therefore, are synchronized in motion.
Monochromatic –
Laser energy is composed of a single wavelength, creating a single color beam.
Collimated –
Laser energy travels in a straight line because all the photons are moving in the same direction.
Active medium confers the
name and wavelength
As laser energy exits a fiber or waveguide it is no longer ———
collimated.
• —– is that property where the beam diameter of the laser light increases with the distance from the laser.
Divergence
Power density
watts/cm2
Often, ——— lasers use a mixture of air and water to assist in cooling of tissues.
Free-Running Pulsed
Transmission
light transmitted through the tissue unchanged
Class I lasers
disc laser - safe for use
Class II lasers
laser pointers - safe briefly, don’t stare into it for long.
