Operative Flashcards
What base was used in lab
glass ionomer
3 functions of bases and liners
Pulpal protection
controls inflammation
mechanical barrier
3 purposes of dental wedges
1) clear space for matrix band
2) prevents overhangs
3) maintains proper margin
What is the 2-2-2-2 rule
- 2 mm pin hole depth
- 2 drill diameters inside DEJ
- 2 mm length of pin
- 2 mm amalgam over pin
When is it necessary to place a pin
when a cusp has been compromised.
-When facial or lingual extension exceeds 2/3 the distance from a primary groove towards the cusp tip.
-When facial-lingual extension of the occlusal preparation exceeds 2/3 the distance between faciolingual cusps
Where should pin be placed
at the line angles of missing cusps, 2 mm past DEJ
How many pins should be placed
one per missing cusp
What kind of pins do we use?
Threaded pins, self-shearing. Minim silver .021/.53 drill. .024/.61 pin
What size pin drill did we use
.021/.53
What size pin did we use
.024/.61
How should the pin drill be oriented
parallel with the root surface
how long do you triturate
7 seconds
Condensing time
5 mins
Carving time
7 mins
3 functions of matrix band
isolation
contain amalgam
proximal contact
What should you do if you find caries under cusp
extend prep buccally and pulpally until no caries left. Use base, liner, and CaOH. Restore.
Indirect pulp cap is used when
within .5 mm of pulp
function of CaOH
form reparative dentin
Most commonly used bases
GI and RMGI
Dentin conditioner
polyacrylic acid
Liner not compatible with composite
ZOE
B&T
They inhibit polymerization
Function of dentin conditioner
clean smear layer
leave smear plug
Outline
placing cavity margins in positions that they will occupy in final prep
Initial depth
0.2 to 0.8 mm pulpally from the DEJ (usually 0.5mm) - Ideal Pulpal Depth is 0.5 mm past the DEJ and Ideal Axial Depth is 0.5-0.75 past the DEJ, but must
be 1 mm to be able to properly condense
Resistance form
That shape and placement of the cavity walls that best enable both the restoration and the tooth to withstand, without fracture, masticatory forces
delivered in the long axis of the tooth
Retention form
That shape or form of the prepared cavity that resists displacement or removal of the restoration from tipping or lifting forces
-Retentive features include: Converging walls, retentive grooves on the
axiobuccal and axiolingual line angles of the proximal box
Convenience form
That shape or form of the cavity that provides for adequate observation, accessibility, and ease of operation in preparing and restoring of the
cavity
Amalgam brand
Permite C
Amalgam company
SDI
Amalgam type
admixed (lathe cut and spherical particles)
What cap is extended carving time? What’s regular?
Green, grey
Color of amalgam plunger indicates
spill size (purple - 2 spill 600 mg)
Low copper amalgam allows for
gamma 2 phase to form. Most corrosion prone
High copper amalgam prevent
gamma 2 phase. Corrosion resistant
