Lining And Base Cements Flashcards
What are the three functions of lining materials?
Therapeutic
Protective
Structural
What is a lining material?
Placed as an intermediary between dentine and restorative material
What are the therapeutic functions of lining materials?
Stimulate odontobalsst
Encourage remin
Bactericidal
What are the protective functions of linings?
Against thermal stimuli: metallic fillings readily transmit heat to underlying dentine
Chemical: some restorative materials are cytotoxic to pulp
Galvanic: this is thr flow of ions when dissimilar metals contact
What can micro leakage result in?
Sensitvity
Recurrent caries
Tooth discolouration
Why are the structural functions of linings?
Reduce the amount of filling material
Make the cavity shape less complex
Allows restoration with an inlay since blocks out undercuts and smooths walls
What are the ideal properties of a dents cement?
High early compressive strength Strong even in thin cross section Good pulp response Bactericidal Radiopque Not react with filling material Easy to mix Adequate working time Short setting time Seal odontoblasts tubules
What are the type of dental cements available?
Calcium hydroxide Zinc oxide eugenol Zinc phosphate Zinc polcarboxylate Polyalkenoates
How many pastes are there in CaOH paste 1 and paste 2?
Base: Paste 1: CaOH, ZnO, Zn stearate, ethyl toluene , sulfonamide
Catalyst: Paste 2: glycol salicylate, titanium dioxide, calcium sulfate, calcium tungstate
What are the advantages of CaOH?
Bactericidal to some groups of organisms
Stimulate relative dentine
Remin of altered dentine
What is in the Zn OxidenEugenol cements?
Powder: ZnO, Zn stearate and modifying agents: alumina, PMMA, polystyrene, polycarbonate
Liquid: eugenol (phenolic ether) and modifying agents: ethoxybenzoic acid
What are the properties of ZOE?
Bland
Phenolic ether provides bactericidal properties
Not compatible with composite as it plasticises Bis GMA
What are the cements bases on ZnO aluminium silicate glass?
Zn Phosohate
Zn Polycarboxylate
Silicate cements
Glass ionomer cements
What are zinc phosphate cements ?
Powder: Zn oxide and other metallic oxides
Liquid: buffered phosphoric acid and Zn and Al phosphate buffers
What happens on mixing Zn Phosphate is mixed?
Exothermic reaction so must be mixed on a glass slab
