Q

What are the four stages to PMMA setting reaction ?

A
  1. Activation - initiator to provide free radicals.
  2. Initiation - free radicals break C=C bonds.
  3. Propagation - growth of polymer chain.
  4. Termination - i.e. setting of material.
17
Q

What are the 5 constituents of PMMA powder ?

A

PMMA particles.
Initiator - benzoyl peroxide.
Pigments.
Plasticiser.
Copolymers - improve mechanical properties.

18
Q

What are the 2 constituents of PMMA liquid ?

A

Methylmethacrylate monomer - to dissolve PMMA.
Coploymers - improve mechanical properties.

19
Q

What study was carried out to research exothermic properties of provisional materials ?

A

Zach and Cohen.

20
Q

What did the Zach and Cohen study find ?

A

That degree of temperature increase and time of exposure to temperature increase are contributable to pulpal irritation and necrosis.

21
Q

Zach and Cohen study: what was the effect on the pulp with +2 degrees increase on exothermic setting reaction of PMMA ?

A

No effect.

22
Q

Zach and Cohen study: what was the effect on the pulp with +5.5 degrees increase on exothermic setting reaction of PMMA ?

A

56 days to overcome thermal trauma.
Small % of pulps of smaller teeth became necrosis.

23
Q

Zach and Cohen study: what was the effect on the pulp with +11 degrees increase on exothermic setting reaction of PMMA ?

A

Irreparable damage to the pulp initiating pulpal necrosis.
Maximum exothermic temperature for temporary material to be used.

24
Q

What are important properties of a temporary material ?

A

Temperature produced on setting.
Colour stability.
Compressive strength.
Abrasion resistance.
Surface roughness.
Polymerisation shrinkage.
Mean marginal discrepancy.

25
Q

What is the manufacturer name for PMMA ?

A

Jet.

26
Q

What is the manufacturer name for PEMA ?

A

Trim II.

27
Q

What is the manufacturer name for bis-aryl composite ?

A

Protemp4.

28
Q

What is the manufacturer name for urethane dimethacrylate ?

A

Provipont DC.

29
Q

What monomer is present in Bis-acryl composite ?

A

BisGMA.

30
Q

What is the difference between BisGMA and PMMA ?

A

BisGMA (liquid) monomer contains two reactive methacrylate groups (i.e. 2x C=C) forming 3D polymer network - cross linking agent used in composites and adhesives - better mechanical properties.

PMMA - made by polymerising mono-functional methyl methacrylate monomer (1x C=C) forming linear chain-like polymer - glass substitute due to transparency.
