Requires _________ surface for remineralisation
intact
occurs at junction of tooth and restoration indicating microleakage
Secondary/Recurrent

Residual caries
Bacteria
* Enamel caries

- Streptococcus mutans -enamel caries
- Lactobacillus - dentinal caries
- Actinomyces- root caries
rapidly damages tooth structure, light-colored, soft, infectious
Acute or rampant caries
brown/black, hard, caries-resistant if exposed to fluoride (dentinal lesion has sclerotic dentin)
Arrested caries
Tooth needs ______% mineral loss to be detected radiographically
30-40%
In transillumination Shadows can indicate
interproximal caries
Marginal gap or ditching _________mm is judged carious or
caries-prone
> 0.5 mm
loss of tooth structure by mechanical wear
Abrasion
occlusal wear from functional contacts with
opposing natural teeth
Attrition
Treatment Plan Sequencing and functions
- Urgent phase= acute infection, pain, swelling

- Reevaluation phase
- Definitive phase= ortho, prosth, surgery
- Maintenance phase
Rx for incipient smooth-surface lesions

GLUMA Composition
GLUMA
– 5% glutaraldehyde
– 35% HEMA (hydroxyethyl
methacrylate)
– Water
Liner include
CaOH or RMGI
Liner uses
- Used for direct or near pulp exposures
- Provides a barrier to protect dentin from residual reactants of
restoration and oral fluids - Electrical insulation
- Thermal protection
- Pulpal treatment (formation of tertiary dentin)
Base includes
RMGI or GI cement
Base uses
- Used for metal restorations
and when liner is used - Thermal protection
(especially under amalgam
and gold) - Distributes local stress
across all underlying dentin
