Resto Flashcards
Indication for inlays
Caries not extending 1/3 of intercuspal width
Types of material used in inlays
Gold - 40 degree bevel at CSM, 30 degree gingival CSM (0.5mm to 1mm wide)
Porcelain - no bevel
Composite - no bevel
*Taper 2-5 degrees diverging occlusal
Discovered phosphoric acid as etchant
Buonocore (1955)
Sugar that prevents glucose from binding to cariogenic microorganisms
Xylitol - increases pH of saliva
Adhesive used by microorganisms to stick to the tooth?
Dextrans, levans
Shape of caries
Pit and fissure -most common
Enamel - base of triangle towards DEJ, apex towards occlusal
Dentin - base of triangle towards DEJ, apex towards pulp
Smooth surface
Enamel - base of triangle towards outer surface, apex towards DEJ
Dentin - base of triangle towards DEJ, apex towards pulp
Best preventive measure for pit and fissure caries? Smooth surface caries?
PFS
Smooth surface: flossing and fluoride
Most sensitive part of the tooth during cavity preparation
DEJ (hydrodynamic theory)
Most common site of proximal caries
Slightly below or gingival to the contact area
Retention, resistance, convenience form
Retention - resist displacement (converging walls)
Resistance - withstand masticatory forces (diverging/parallel mesial/distal walls, 90 degree CSM, flat pulpal floor, depth)
Convenience - ease of operation (1/3 of buccal cusp tip to lingual cusp tip)
Which permanent teeth is mostly subjected to accidental pulp exposure?
Mandibular 1st premolar (facial pulp horn)
Bevels in class II amalgam prep??
Axiopulpal line angle
Gingival cavosurface margin
Retentive feature of class II amalgam prep
Depth 1/2 the size of a 1/4 round bur: 0.25mm
At axiofacial line angle
Axiolingual line angle
Line angle vs point angle
Line angle - where two walls meet
Point angle - where three line angles meet
Difference of class ii gold inlay and class ii amalgam?
Buccal and lingual walls of gold: 2-5° diverging occlusally
Reverse bevel at the axiogingival line angle for gold (proximal lock) vs slightly rounded gingivo-axial line angle
Occlusal CSM: 40° gold, 90° amalgam
Proximal CSM: 40° g, 90° a
Gingival CSM: 30° g, 90° a (beveled 15-20°) for permanent
No bevel in deciduous!!! enamel rods at the cervical are oriented towards occlusal!
Best resto material for the restoration of the distolingual surface of canine?
Gold!
Best approach in preparing class III caries
Lingual
Retentive feature of class III
0.25mm or 1/2 of 1/4 round
Gingivoaxial and incidoaxial line angle
Orientation of walls of class V
Diverging!!! You see all the walls
What is class VI (SIMON)
incidal edge of anterior teeth or cusp of posterior teeth
What is a cervical burnout
Radiolucency Found below the cej on the root due anatomic variation or a gap between enamel and bone covering the root (roots are concave)
Caries that progressed just into the DEJ
Frank caries
Other term for root caries
Senile caries - associated with aging due to gingival resorption
Decrease coronal caries (sclerotic dentin formation)
Zone of carious enamel
Translucent zone -deepest
Dark zone -zone of remineralization
Body zone -largest zone -demineralized zone
Surface zone -outer most, unaffected by carious lesion
Zone of carious dentin
Normal dentin - no bacteria
Subtransparent
Transparent - demineralized softened dentin but no bacteria in tubules
Turbid dentin - zone of bacterial invasion, remove
Infected - outermost carious zone with numerous microorg, remove
Where is the fastest progression of caries?
DEJ
Enamel vs dentin: dentin - less mineralized
Common bleaching agent in dentistry
Hydrogen peroxide ~30% (tx: vitamin E)
Sodium perborate
Light activated/inactive: carbamide peroxide
Movement of fluid through small channel or porous material
Percolation
Setting of amalgam via?
Crystallization
24hrs for complete setting
Mercury to alloy ratio
Traditional is 8:5 but high mercury was associated with extensive expansion (we only want minimal expansion for sealing)
Eame’s technique 1:1
Modern dentistry <1: 1 or <50:50
Amalgam composition
Silver, copper, tin, mercury, zinc
Silver and copper
⬇️ working time and creep, ⬆️expansion and strength
(copper decreases corrosion)
Tin
⬆️ working time and creep
⬇️ expansion and strength
Mercury (must be <50%)
⬆️ working time and creep, expansion
⬇️ strength
Produces different phases
Zinc
⬆️⬆️ expansion when contaminated
Prevents oxidation; acts as scavenger for oxides
⬆️ shelf life
Types of amalgam alloy particles, pros and cons
Spherical - less condensation force needed, faster working time
Admixed - more condensation force needed, easier to carve
Irregular - irregular shape particles (lathe-cut particles)
Which amalgam alloy needs the most amount of mercury?
Irregular - more spaces need to be filled by mercury
Spherical - least amount of mercury
Phases of amalgam reaction
Gamma phase (30% of amalgam)
silver + tin alloy
Strongest and corrodes least
Gamma-one phase (60% of amalgam)
Silver + mercury
Second strongest phase
Gamma-two phase (10%)
Tin + mercury
Weakest and softest
Corrodes the most
Prone to microporosities
Copper-tin phase
Decreased corrosion
Replaces gamma-two phase
