Q

The powder component of GI contains ______ glass. Why is that important?

A

non-silanated, acid soluble glass

  • the liquid portion contains polyacid copolymers that will dissolve the periphery of the glass
  • the glass will then release ions: calcium, aluminum, and fluoride
  • the calcium ions are divalent and will quickly chelate with acid polymer chains

Q

True or False: During a resin ionomer reaction (such as that with RMGI), there is a net dimensional change due to shrinkage.

A

False, there is a ZERO net dimensional change because polymerization shrinkage is balanced by swelling due to water absorption.

(Think: RMGI contains only 35%water; whereas, GI contains 50% water. RMGI is therefore a little thirsty and is going to want to absorb some water)

Q

The slow acid-base reaction of RMGI causes the properties to ______ over time.

A

improve

24
Q

Compare composite, compomer, RMGI, and GI:

Which OSU product has the lowest %opacity?

A

Fuji II LC (RMGI material type)

25
Q

Compare composite, compomer, RMGI, and GI:

Which OSU product has the smallest marginal gap?

A

Fuji II LC (RMGI material type)

26
Q

What are the advantages to using RMGI and GI?

A
  1. Provide a good seal between dentin and material

2. Recurrent caries inhibition potential

27
Q

What are the advantages to using RMGI instead of GI?

A
  1. Improved solubility resistance
  2. Improved strength (less stiffness though)
  3. Improved optical properties
28
Q

RMGI material is used for high risk patients for restoration of _____ or ______ areas.

A

cervical

deep proximal

29
Q

Where is the “open sandwich” technique used?

A

deep proximal margins

  • area most susceptible to recurrent decay
  • area where no enamel is present at the margin
  • area with poor composite bonding
30
Q

What are the four steps to caries removal?

A
  1. Slow speed with a large round bur (+/- spoon excav.)
  2. Clear DEJ first (most aggressive)
  3. Clear area over the pulp (less aggressive)
  4. Use tactile sense to detect unsound tissue (tugback)
31
Q

“The seal is the deal” means…..what?

A

if you seal the site, caries remain dormant and does not progress. Therefore, you can leave some affected dentin in order to avoid exposing the pulp!

32
Q

What are the three preparation designs for Class 3 and Class 5?

A
  1. Conventional (GV Black/amalgam principles)
  2. Beveled Conventional (composite only)
  3. Modified (minimal prep, for any adhesive materials)
33
Q

The beveled conventional preparation design is only used when preparation walls are in _____.

A

enamel (remember, composite bonds best to enamel)

34
Q

The “conventional” preparation design has a _____ degree cavosurface enamel margin, uniform ______mm depth into dentin, and ______ retention.

A

90
0.5mm
mechanical

35
Q

True or False: Both the conventional and modified-conventional prep designs will have a uniform 0.5mm depth into dentin.

A

False,
Conventional and BEVELED conventional = 0.5mm in
MODIFIED conventional = removal of defective tooth structure only

36
Q

What are the five selection criteria that must be considered when choosing a restoration material?

A
  1. esthetics
  2. location
  3. expected prognosis (long/short term)
  4. Etiology of lesion (carious?)
  5. Caries Risk of patient
37
Q

What are four examples of non-carious lesions that would be restored?

A

attrition (tooth to tooth)
abrasion (mechanical/toothbrushing)
erosion (chemical)
abfraction (bruxism/forces)

38
Q

Carious lesions are more visible when _____.

A

dried

39
Q

Incipient carious lesions of enamel appear as ______.

A

white spots

40
Q

The mesiodistal walls of a Class V preparation will ____ slightly and the gingival floor will follow the _____.

A

diverge (following the enamel rods)

curvature of the FGM (0.5mm above)

41
Q

A conventional Class V preparation is deeper _____ than _____.

A

deeper incisal than gingival

42
Q

True or False: Using a bevel with GI or RMGI will increase the bonding strength.

A

False, bevels are only used for composites because they bond best to enamel. RMGI and GI are weaker in thin areas

43
Q

What are the advantages to composites?

A
  • use of conservative prep (adhere to tooth/enamel)

- esthetic

44
Q

The mesial and distal length of a Class V preparation will extend to ______.

A

the mesial and distal line angles of the tooth

A

has clearance

49
Q

What is the minimal facial depth for a class III prep?

A

typically 1.0 to 1.5mm to minimally break facial contact

50
Q

For a conventional Class III preparation design, it is okay to undermine ______ but not okay to undermine _____.

A
dentin = okay
enamel = not okay
51
