Q

what are high filler:resin composites like?

A

> 60% filler/volume

stronger, more wear resistance, shrink less, more opaque less vital appearance, hard to polish

Q

what is the best type of composite?

A
nanofilled - micron sized particles
high strength
less shrinkage
high polishability
plus nano fibres to optimise resorative aesthetic abilities

Q

advantages of comopsite?

A
wear resistance/compressive strength
matches tooth substance
command set
good aesthetics - tooth coloured
bonded to tooth =conserves tooth

Q

disadvantages of composite?

A
polymerisation shrinkage 
moisture control = essential
can be brittle
no evidence to support use with large class II cavities
depth of cure only 2mm
hard to place

Q

how to overcome shrinkage?

A

hydrophobic = shrinks away from water = rubber dam
ramped output from light source
oblique increments
light tips, wedges, direct light to gingival floor

17
Q

for anterior restorations why bevel enamel?

A

increased surface area for bonding

18
Q

how many composite shades for anterior teeth?

A

core shade = dentine

translicent shade = incisal edge

19
Q

why cure final increment under a matrix strip?

A

removes oxygen inhibited area

20
Q

make sure each increment?

A

only touches one wall of the cavity

21
Q

light cure wave length?

A

450-500nm

22
Q

rubber dam advantages?

A
airway protection
moisture control
protects and retracts the soft tissues
good visibility for working
prevents contamination of dental materials
infection control
patient comfort
