Restorative Flashcards
name four steps of immediate management of a tooth with 2mm pulpal exposure
locate missing fragment
LA and rubber dam
pulpotomy - access, remove coronal pulp, achieve haemostasis with saline soaked cotton wool, place CaOH, seal with GIC, composite dentine as bandage
what is the likely design of a bridge that has debonded and causing pain to one of the teeth
fixed-fixed resin bonded bridge
name four factors that would cause a bridge to debond
caries under the retainer
poor OH
trauma
poor moisture control during cementation
unfavourable occlusion
what are the criteria for valid consent
informed
voluntary
not manipulated
not coerced
with capacity
name three features of a nayyar core
2-4mm of GP removed from canal and replaced with amalgam
retention obtained from undercuts in divergent canals and pulp chamber
coronal preparation can be done at same appointment
list types of tooth wear
attrition
abrasion
erosion
list three ways of desensitising a tooth
seal and protect
desensitising toothpaste
fluoride varnish
tooth mousse
what is the Dhal technique
localised restorations or appliances to increase interocclusal space for restorations
how does the dhal technique work
place appliance (essex retainer) or add composite platforms to increase OVD on palatal side of upper incisors and allow for dento-alveolar compensation for 3-6 months
once compensation occurs build up incisors to new OVD
what are four contraindications for Dhal technique
active perio disease
ankylosis
implants
MRONJ
what factors affect treatment choice of a pulp exposure
size of pulp exposure
time since exposure
how do you manage a sodium hypochlorite injury
pain relief
reduce swelling
cold compress for first few days
warm compress for resolution of soft tissue swelling
analgesics
review within 24 hours
refer if severe
how can you prevent a hypochlorite injury
provide mask and bib
use rubber dam
pre-op radiograph to ensure closed apex
do not go to full working length
use chlorhexidine first to ensure correct seal
build up walls of broken teeth with composite
do not wedge needle in canal
do not depress plunger with thumb
name 3 post materials
gold
nickel chromium
ceramic
titanium
carbon fibre
stainless steel
what are four indications for posts
4-5mm GP remaining
post less than 1/3 root width
post to crown ration 1:1
at least half the post into root
1mm circumferential dentine
