Resto Mosby Flashcards
Protective mechanism of saliva
- Bacterial clearance
- Buffering action
- Antimicrobial action
- Remineralization
arge carbohydate protein molecule in saliva cause some bacteria to agglutinate & then be removed by swallowing the 1.5L of saliva formed each day
Glycoproteins
contains urea & other buffer that help to dilute any plaque acids
Saliva
Antimicrobial actions
Lysozyme
Lactoferrin
Lactoperoxidase
Type A Ig
destroys cell wall & causes membrane permeability of bacteria
Lysozyme
actively binds iron which is important for bacterial enzyme production & function . It may also destroy S. mutans
Lactoferrin
inactivated some bacterial enzymes
Lactoperoxidase
detected by clinical examination
indicating the interface between abutted restorations are detected by clinical examination are aacceptable
Fracture Lines
referred as desensitizers are effective disinfectants, provide cross-linking of any exposed dentin matrix & occlude (“plug”) dentinal tubules by cross-linking tubular proteins
- aqueous soln.
- xcontain Glutaraldehyde, hydroxyethylmethacrylatr (HEMA), benzalkonium chloride chlorhexidine
Sealers
provide barrier to protect dentin from residual reactants diffusing out of restorarion from oral fluids or from both which penetrate leaky tooth restoratin interfaces
Liners
typical liners used with direct restorations
CaOH
RMGI
used to provide thermal protection for the pulp & to supplement mechanical support for the restoration
Bases - 1-2 mm
more easily condensed than admixed amalgam
Spherical amalgam
determined by the ratio of prepared versus inprepared wallss within a tooth preparatipm
C - factor
higher C factor indicate
Increased chance for postoperative sensitivity
