Q

What are the basic properties/features of direct restorations

A
  • Plastic
  • Mouldable
  • Various physical properties
  • Complex restorations
22
Q

AY BAWS CAN I HABE DE NOTE PLZ

A

Made in lab and cemented/luted chairside

23
Q

Why do you want rounded internal line angles for all restorative materials

A

Reduces internal stresses and risk of crack propagation within restoration

24
Q

What cavity mods are ideal for amalgam restorations

A
  • Cavity undercuts
  • Grooves
  • Slots
  • Flat surfaces
25
What do undercuts, grooves/slots and flat surfaces allow in amalgam restorations
Undercuts = give retention Grooves/slots = Prevent further displacement Flat surface = improves resistance
26
What cavity modifications are ideal for composite/GICs
Enamel margin bevel
27
What does the enamel margin bevel allow for in composite/GICs restorations
- Removes unsupported enamel - Increases surface for bond/seal - Sound enamel for optimised bonding
28
What micro cavity mod is ideal for composite restorations
Enamel acid etch
29
what does the enamel acid etch do for composite restorations
- Removes the smear layer | - Selectively demineralises prisms giving micro-mechanical retention
30
What micro cavity mods are ideal for GIC restorations
Dentine conditioner
31
What does dentine conditioner allow for GIC restorations
- Removes smear layer | - Prepares surface for Ca2+ chemical adhesion
32
Name some of the basic properties of an amalgam restoration
- High strength (2mm+) - Electrochemical corrosion = nice marginal seal - High elastic modulus - Dimensionally stable - No inherent bonding to tooth substrate
33
What angle should the cavo-surface angle be for an ideal amalgam restoration
about 90 degrees
34
What are some examples of auxillary retention cavity mods for amalgam and dat when there aren't alot of cusps left to form the undercuts and all
- Slots - Grooves - Coves - Locks
35
AY BAWS CAN I HABE DE NOTE PLZ
The amalgam slots need to be undercut as well to provide retention as well as resistance
36
Do coves offer resistance and/or retention
Offers both in almost all directions
37
What are locks
grooves cut in a vertical direction
38
Name some basic properties/characteristics of composite restorations
- Good aesthetics - Bonds to dental substrates - More conservative tooth preparation - No corrosion - Slightly less durable than amalgam - Lower modulus of elasticity - Technique sensitive
39
What macroscopic cavity mods might you need for composite restorations
(undercuts, slots and grooves, cavosurface angle, flat surface) ENAMEL MARGIN BEVEL
40
What microscopic cavity mods might you need for composite restorations
- 37% orthophosphoric acid etch + prime/bond - Removes smear layer in dentine - Selectively demineralises enamel prisms - Creates micromechanical undercuts for resin to engage - Creates one of the strongest bonds in dentistry
41
What is the purpose of doing the enamel margin bevel for composite cavities
- Removes unsupported enamel - Increases surface area - Aesthetics
42
What does etching do to the enamel in composite cavity mods
Selectively demineralising some enamel prisms that creates a very rough microscopic surface that allow the composite to bond better
43
What is a hybrid layer of dentine in the composite cavity mods and how is it made
- Demineralised resin-impregnated dentine - Etching removes smear layer - Demineralises intertubular dentine, exposing collagen - Demineralises intratubular dentine - Allows resin to flow into the tubules
44
Is the composite-dentine or the composite-enamel layer stronger
Composite-enamel is deffo stronger but the dentine one is still strong
45
What is the sequence of processes that occur in composite cavity mods
- Acid etch - Primer - Bonding
46
So describe the process of acid etching in composite cavity mods
- Phosphoric acid (37%) - Demineralises prisms and = rough surface in enamel - Removes smear layer in dentine and demineralises intertubular dentine and makes collagen scaffold - Micromechanical mods
47
Describe the process of priming
- EDTA/Acid based - Further conditions dentine - Optimises surface for bonding
48
What are some of the properties of GICs as a restorative material
- Lower fracture strength vs composite and amalgam - Less tough (prone to wear) - Poorer aesthetics - Inherent (chemical) bond to dental substrates - Fluoride release
49
What does a dentine conditioner do for GIC fillings
Removes smear layer and optimises dentin for ion exchange to allow for chemical bonding of GIC
50
AY BAWS CAN I HABE DE NOTE PLZ
10% polyacrylic/citric acids
51
Describe how GICs adhere to a tooth
- Ions exchanged between tooth minerals and cement - On mixing, free polyalkenoic acid penetrates enamel/dentine - Displaces Ca2+ and PO4- - Combine with cement matrix to form ion-enriched layer between tooth and cement - Rich in F-
