Operative dentistry Flashcards
Enamel thickness for dogs and cats
Dog .3-.6mm
Cats .1-.3mm
How many dentin tubules are present
JVD 2010- 75,000
Wiggs - 29,000-52,000
What happens when dentinal tubules are exposed
Pain is caused by rapid outflow of fluid
Outward - cold
Inward - hot
What is the difference between C and A delta fibers
A delta = myelinated, larger, rapid pain
C type = smaller, unmyelinated, slow dull pain
What are the two types of tertiary dentin
Reactionary - formed from pre existing odontoblast
Reparative - formed from new odontoblasts due to death of original
Tertiary dentin
Rapidly irregular deposited dentin
Sclerotic dentin
Highly mineralized and occurs when odontoblasts are lost leaving a dead tract
Difficult to bond
What are the 3 types of cavity classes
Simple - 1 tooth
Compound - 2 teeth
Complex - 3+ teeth
Class 1 cavity
I,PM,M
Pit/fissure commonly found on occlusal surfaces
Class 2 cavity
PM/M
Proximal surface of caudal teeth
Class 3 Cavity
I/C
Proximal surfaces of rostral teeth without incisive involvement
Class 4 cavity
I/C
proximal surface of rostral teeth with incisive involvement
Class 5 cavity
I/C/PM/M
Gingival 3rd surface
Class VI cavity
I/C/PM/M
defect of the incisal edge or cusp
Stress vs Strain
Stress- When a force acts on a constrained body, the body resists the force.
Strain- is described as the change in length (ΔL = L − Lo) per original length (Lo) of the body when it is subjected to a load.
Wetability and appropriate angle
Surface wettability, which is characterized by the contact angles of a water droplet on a solid surface, is used to describe the ability of a water droplet in maintaining contact with the solid surface. It is also used to indicate the water repellency of the surface.
Angle = 0
Ideal properties of restoration
Good esthetics
Biocompatible
Not dissolve in oral fluids
Strength and modulus similar to tooth
Good abrasive/wear resistance
Coefficient of thermal expansion similar to tooth
Minimal dimensional changes with setting
High polishability
Radiopaque
Adhere to tooth structure
