Q

what is the purpose of a liner?

A

pulpal protection from chemical stimuli from unreacted chemicals in filler material, thermal stimuli from setting reactions/heat conduction, bacteria and endotoxins, therapeutic to calm down inflammation, palliative for reversible pulpitis

what is the advantage of radiopaque cavity liners?

A

makes it easier to see if there is any leakage or secondary caries

18
Q

what type of bond is formed between the lining material and dentine?

A

chemical bond which should be permanent and impenetrable
