Operative Flashcards
Best material for Cl III cavity is …..
gold or amalgam
Best xray to see distal caries on canine is ……
bitewing
* Note: interproximal caries on the anterior teeth is diagnosed with PA
Delayed amalgam expansion is caused by ……. & ……..
contamination with moisture during trituration or condensation, and insufficient trituration or condensation
Zinc in amalgam reacts with moisture to produce ………
hydrogen, and this causes the delayed expansion of the filling
* Zinc is an antioxidant for other constituents
Minimum thickness of amalgam for adequate compressive strength is …….
- 5 - 2 mm under occlusion, or 0.75 mm in axial areas
* For cuspal coverage, thickness is 2 mm under function, and 1.5 mm under non functional cusps
The volume of gamma two phase in amalgam decreases ……
with time due to corrosion
- Forms 10% of set amalgam in low copper alloy
- It is responsible for corrosion, microporosities and weakness
Width of amalgam at the isthmus is …….
1/3 intercuspal distance
* Note: if extension is 2/3 the distance from the primary groove to the cusp tip, cuspal coverage is required for resistance to fracture
Decrease particle size of the alloy will cause …..
increase in compression strength and decrease setting expansion
Eutectic alloy is ……
alloy in which the elements are completely soluble in liquid solution but separate into distinct areas on solidification
The disadvantage of GI as a cement is …..
high film thickness (higher than ZPC)
Advantage of resin luting agent is ………
high compressive strength, low solubility
- Disadvantages: irritating effect, high film thickness
- Note: they’re the material of choice for luting all ceramic crowns
ZOE pH is ……..
7
* Note: ZOE is soluble in oral fluids, and difficult to remove from cavity prep
Initial pH of ZPC is ……..
- 5
* Composition is zinc phosphate and acid
Evaporation of water from the ZPC liquid will …..
prolong the setting time
* Mixing rapidly will decrease strength of cement
The advantages of using a cold slab for mixing are …..
longer working time, and shorter setting time
Sandwich technique is ……
the use of GI under composite filing (because GI bonds to composite)
The main function of luting cement is …..
act as a non permeable seal around restorations
The use of varnish differs with ZPC and polycarboxylate by……..
with ZPC, it is applied before the cement, while with carboxylate, it is applied after the cement (same with ZOE base and GI)
* Varnish life time is 1 month
Solution liner shouldn’t be used under composite because ……
it interferes with polymerization. Suspension liner is used instead (i.e bond)
* Pulp do need protection from composite (i.e use liner = bond)
pH of Ca(OH)2 is …….
11
Senile caries is another name for ……..
root surface caries in the aged
Etiology of root caries include …..
S. mutans, S. sanguis,, A. viscosus, A. naeslundii, veilonella, and lactobacilli
The earliest plaque bacteria is ……
S. sanguis
