Operative materials Flashcards
What is the objective of cavity bases? (2)
- Replace lost tissues.
2. Avoid problems due to the treatment technique and complications from final restoration material behavior
What materials are used for cavity bases? (3)
- GIC
- eugenol cements, biodentin
- adhesives
+ composite resins
Whats the principal component of GIC?
Polyalkenoic acids
*bond calcium and phosphate of the tooth
GIC and adhesive?
not needed because it bonds chemically
What are the main components of GIC?
- Polyalkenoic acids
- water (50%)
- tartaric acid
- glass particles
What is the acid of GIC? (4)
Polyalkenoic acids:
- AC polyacrylic, polymaleic acid and itaconic acid
What type of reaction does GIC have?
acid-base chemical reaction
What components are part of the glass particles of GIC? (4)
it is the BASE
- crystals of Si, Al and F (calcium flouride)
What is tartaric acid in GIC?
Setting accelerators
What does the water do in GIC?
setting essential
What are the other components of GIC?
Radiopacifiers
pigments
resin reinforcers
What is the radiopacer component of GIC?
Silver
Zn oxide
OR barium glass
What is the pigment component of GIC?
aesthetics
What are the resin reinforcers of GIC?
Metals (dissued)
Light & self cured resins
Why are there light and self cured resins in GIC?
- Improve the mechanical and esthetic properties.
- Protect from moisture and drying: less moisture-sensitive.
- Facilitate handling: Longer working time
How are GICs classified? (3)
- Conventional
- Hybrid
- Compomers
What is the conventional GIC?
- acid base reaction
- mixed with water
What is hybrid GIC? (2)
- 2 independent reaction settings
* GIC with resin - photo or light curing
What are the 2 independent reactions of GIC?
- acid / base (common to all GIC)
- Photo
What is compomer GIC?
Mainly resin with GIC added
- considered resins not cements
- higher photo resin content
GIC and acid susceptibility?
- conventional GIC
- predisposed to acid erosion because GIC is inorganic
- less acid suspectibility in resin-modified GIC
What is conventional GIC used as?
- cement
- provisional restoration
Conventional GIC and occlusal forces?
Don’t expose to occlusal forces because it will break
Why are resins added to GIC? (3)
- To achieve less curing time.
- Less sensitive to handle in the initial setting phase.
- Get a surface that chemically joins the composite resins.
Photo/self curing resin properties? (3)
➢Hema (10%)
➢Setting: two independent reactions
➢The main features of the GIC are not altered
Indications of conventional and resin modified GIC?
- Fissure sealant
- cavity base
- cement
- direct restoration material
- not on cavities that receive direct occlusal forces
Why do we use conventional/resin modified GIC as a cement? (4)
- good chemical adhesion (good sealing)
- F release
(anticariogenic and desensitizing) - good viscosity
- low thickness.
Why do we use conventional/resin modified GIC as a direct restoration material?
• Class V cavities with a lack of enamel in the cavity margin
- abfraction (modulus of elasticity similar to dentin).
• To fill areas with undercuts in big restorations, if it is going to hold indirect
restorations*
Why do we use conventional/resin modified GIC as a fissure sealant?
Better adhesion to enamel than composite resin
BUT it goes away so use flowable composite instead now
What is the presentation of hybrid GICs?
capsules
to spatulate
clickers
Whats the sandwich technqiue?
Tooth - GIC - composite
Whats equia fil & equia coat?
- New generation of high strength glass ionomer
- nano-filler with high F release
- excellent to replace amalgam and composite class I, II, V
- in peds or geriatrics
- not sticky and easy to handle
Zn eugenol cement cavity base properties?
- antiseptic
- pulp irritant
- not used because not compatible with composite resin
- poor resistance
- not aeshtetic
Why is zn eugenol not comptaible with composite resins?
Eugenol inhibits polymerization of resin materials
What is Zn eugenol used for?
Temporary fillings
stepwise caries removal
What is stepwise caries removal procedure?
- Clean almost all the caries but leave a bit
- Cover with CaOH, then obturate with zinc eugenol cement
- after 8 weeks - removal + caries removal
- Didnt need to clean remaining caries as deep as with one step.
- the odontoblasts protect the pulp from the injury
- this is the only time we use zinc eugenol in restorative
Biodentine composition?
Calcium silicate based product:
- tricalcium silicate: regulates setting
- calcium carbonate: filler
- zirconium dioxide: radiopacity
- calcium chloride: accelerator
- water soluble polymer: reduces viscosity
Biodentine uses? (4)
- indirect pulp capping
- direct pulp capping
- direct restorations in deep cavities
- inlay/onlay
Biodentine properties (5)
- has to be covered by composite or indirect restoration
- good to replace dentin
- capsule and liquid. put liquid in capsule (powder)
- can be put directly on pulp exposure.
- wait 12 minutes thats the time it takes to set
Biodentine in normal cavity?
to replace dentin and then covered by composite
