A

putty like consistency

30
Q

Flowable

A

Light consistence

31
Q

Packable

A

Condensable/moldable

32

A

~1mm

35
Q

A

1.5 mm

36
Q

Depth of cure of Bulkfill

A

5 mm

37
Q

Examples of bulk fill

A

Sonicfill and Tetric Evoceram, less viscous and photoinitiators that increase depth of cure.

38
Q

What are the 3 types of retainer systems?

A
  1. Tofflemire retainer and circumferential band. 2. Retainless matrix system-absence of matrix retainer. 3. Sectional matrix.
39
Q

Rings

A

prongs that produce the separation between teeth, made of plastic, silica pads.

40
Q

Dead soft bands are how thick?

A

0.001”

41
Q

How thick are tofflemire bonds?

A

0.0015”

42
Q

What are the roles and requirements of wedges?

A
  1. Seal the gingival margin to prevent overhang.
  2. Should not interfere with making of proximal contact.
  3. Wedges adjacent teeth to compensate for the bands thickness.
43
Q

What are the steps of composite restorations (according to Mikhail)?

A
  1. Anesthetic-Isolate-Select shade
  2. Etch with phosphoric acid
  3. Rinse thoroughly
  4. Lightly air dry
  5. Apply and cure adhesive
  6. Apply and cure composite layers
  7. Remove rubber dam
  8. Evaluate margins-check for excess/deficiencies
  9. check for proximal contact
  10. Check occlusion
  11. Adjust occlusion
44
Q

A

Phosphoric acid 37%

45
Q

46
Q

How long should you etch?

A

15-20 secs

47
Q

What can collapse if etched for too long?

A

Collagen fibers in dentin can collapse (enamel has small amount of collagen so it does not affect it as much)

48
Q

Etching opens dentin tubules by?

A

removing smear plugs

49
Q

What can over drying do?

A

Evaporate water out of tubules which can cause bite sensitivity

50
Q

What are the two types of of adhesive systems?

A

A

Etch + (Prime and Bond)

52
Q

Three step, total etch system (conventional)

A

Etch, prime, bond

53
Q

Two step, self-adhesive

A

acidic primer + bonding agent

54
Q

One step, self etch adhesive

A

acidic primer with bonding agent

55

What type adhesive system do we use?

A

Optibond Solo plus Kerr-2 step, total etch system. (allows for less etch time of dentin)

What are some finishing burrs we use?

A

Football (7379), ET9, 7901, 7379, 7404, 7406

58
Q

On plastic teeth, which handpiece do we use?

A

Slow-speed

59
Q

What are some characteristics of resin modified glass ionomers?

A
  • Good seal, chemically bonds
  • Mechanical properties not as good as composite
  • Less soluble than glass ionomer
60
Q

What are some main differences between GIC and RMGIC?

A

GIC: affected by moisture due to slow setting reaction, acid vulnerability, initial solubility, brittle

RMGIC: Not affected by moisture, initial solubility is low, less acid disintergration

61
Q

T or F: RMGIC is used as a liner and base?

A

T

62
Q

What are examples of RMGIC liner or base?

63
Q

T or F, condition and base with glass ionomer before placing the composite?

A

T

64
Q

Open sandwich technique.

A

Good seal around high risk area, layering minimizes shrinkage stress on box floor, good tissue response, helps to achieve good contacts and form.
