Q

Differences between primary and permanent teeth w/ respect to cavity preparation

A

Primary teeth: restore smaller carious lesions because of

  • thinner enamel and dentin;- pulps larger in relation to crown (pulp involvement occurs more rapidly);
  • pulp horns closer to DEJ

Also……

  • enamel rods in gingival 1/3 extend in occlusal direction (no need to bevel gingival margin)
  • greater constriction of crown at CEJ (more prominent cervical constriction, extensive gingival extension can lead to loss of gingival floor)
  • broader, flatter contact areas (makes clinical diagnosis of proximal caries more difficult)
  • whiter in color (need lighter composite shades)
  • shallower pits and fissures
  • narrower occlusal table

56
Q

Secondary caries rate ___x greater for composite versus amalgam

A

3.5

57
Q

What properties of glass ionomers make them favorable for use in children?

A
  • chemical bonding to both enamel and dentin - thermal expansion similar to that of tooth structure- biocompatibility - uptake and release of fluoride (can act as a reservoir of fluoride) - decreased moisture sensitivity compared to resin
58

1 year

59
Q

T/F: Conventional glass ionomers are recommended for class II restorations in primary molars.

A

False But there is evidence in favor of GI cements for class I restorations in primary teeth

60
Q

T/F: A systematic review supports use of RMGIC in small to moderate size class II cavities in primary molars.

A

True RMGIC class II restorations able to withstand occlusal forces on primary molars for at least 1 year RMGIC more successful than conventional GI as a restorative material Dentin conditioning improves success rate of RMGIC Cavosurface beveling leads to high marginal failure – not recommended “Strong evidence that RMGIC for class I restorations are efficacious, and expert opinion supports class II restorations in primary teeth”

61
Q

T/F: There is sufficient evidence to support the use of RMGIC as a long-term restoration in permanent teeth

A

False insufficient evidence “insufficient evidence to support the use of conventional or resin-modified GI cements as long-term restorative material in permanent teeth”

62
Q

T/F: There is strong evidence that ITR/ART using high viscosity GI cements has value as multi-surface restoration for both primary and permanent teeth

A

False has value as a SINGLE surface temporary restoration. Single surface ART restorations showed high survival rates for both primary and permanent teeth, but with regard to multi-surface ART restorations, there is conflicting evidence.

63
Q

AAPD recommendations for glass ionomer use:

A
  • Luting cement: SSCs, ortho bands, brackets (ltd) - Cavity base/liner- 1˚ tth: Class I, II, III, V * - Perm tth: Class III, IV in high risk pts or difficult isolation - Caries control/high risk patients - restoration repair - ITR- sealant * This slide was old. Evidence against for class II primary teeth! And “strong evidence” for in class I permanent teeth based on ART studies. This is from the Comprehensive Review – not all in line with the most recent 2014 AAPD Clinical Guideline for Restorative.
64
Q

What is the recommended primer for GI placement?

A

10% polyacrylic acid 10-15 seconds => H2O rinse to remove smear layer but leave tubules plugged. For successful GIC: - proper dentin conditioning - wait 3-5 minutes before finishing - protect with varnish or sealant, no pressure for 1 hr

65
Q

GIC liquid is ______ acid and powder is mainly _________.

A

GIC liquid is an aqueous solution of polyacrylic acid and powder is mainly aluminosilicate.

66
Q

A

80% GIC 20% LC composite resin

67
Q

RMGI sets in what 3 ways?

A
  1. Acid base rxn (self cure) 2. Chemical polymerization rxn (resin cure) 3. photoinitiated (light cure)
68
Q

How do RMGI compare to GIC?

A
  • strength/solubility, esthetics lies in-between GIC and resin composite - F- release equal to GIC, but decreases over time, can be recharged - molecular bond to tooth structure ≥ GIC - less microleakage than GIC
69
Q

What is a compomer?

A

Polyacid-modified resin-based composite - resin-modified with hydrophilic monomers - low F- release - LC + acid/base rxn - need primer/bond, acid etch - weaker, wears more than composites/RMGI - easy to use/handle

70
Q

What does the new guideline have to say about compomers?

A
  • Compomer tends to have better physical properties than GIC and RMGIC in primary teeth - no significant difference in cariostatic effects of compomer versus GI/RMGI - Compomers in class I primary teeth similar longevity to amalgam, but needed more replacement (recurrent caries) - In Class II compomer restorations in primary teeth, the risk of developing secondary caries and failure did not increase over a two-year period in primary molars. “Compomers can be an alternative to other restorative materials in the PRIMARY dentition in class I and class II restorations;” “There is not enough data comparing compomers to other restorative materials in PERMANENT teeth of children”
71
Q

Compomers are ____% strontium fluorosilicate glass and the average particle size is ___ micrometers.

A

A

7% SSC 26% amalgam Greater longevity of SSCs compared to amalgam for the tx of carious lesions in primary teeth

77
Q

T/F: There was a non-significant difference in the survival rate for teeth restored with RMGI/composite versus SSC on primary pulpotomy-treated teeth.

A

True 95% SSC, 92.5% RMGI/resinper Atieh study Another study showed significantly less restoration failure and improved pulpotomy success w/ SSC (80%) versus amalgam (60%) after 1 year However, a systematic review did not show strong evidence that preformed metal crowns were superior over other restorations for pulpotomized teeth

Q

The main reasons for SSC failure on permanent teeth are:

A

Crown loss; perforation

81
Q

Why is esthetic restoration of the primary anterior teeth challenging?

A
97
Q

Research supports removal of third molars under what conditions?

A
  1. when pathology is associated(e.g. cysts, tumors, caries, infection, pericoronitis, perio, detrimental changes to adjacent teeth or bone) and/or
  2. the tooth is malpositioned or nonfunctional (i.e. unopposed tooth)

*No evidence to support or refute the prophylactic removal of disease-free impacted third molars.

98
Q

Incidence of pathology w/ impacted third molars

A

20%

internal root resorption, periodontal bone loss, resorption of the distal of second molar, pericoronitis

Mandibular molars exhibit more pathology or abnormalities

25% in study cited by Sonis comp. review
Mesioangular and horizontal impactions at highest risk!

99
Q

What does ‘laser’ stand for?

A

Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.

Photon delivered in a beam with exact wavelength unique to the medium. Monochromatic.

Target tissues differ in their affinity for specific wavelengths of laser energy.

Laser energy targets tissue that has water in it, raising it above 100˚C.

Water then vaporizes, resulting in soft tissue ablation.

The primary effect of a laser within target tissues is photothermal.

100
Q

What is a CO2 laser good for?

A

Incising, excising, and coagulating soft tissue.

(wavelength poorly absorbed by hydroxyapatite)

historically the oldest type of laser used for soft tissue procedures

101
Q

What is the diode laser used for?

A

Soft tissue surgery, without affecting hard tissues around it.

(diode laser has aluminum, Iridium, gallium, arsenic)

102
Q

What is the ND-YAG laser made from and what is it for?

A

Neodynmium ions and crystal of yttrium, aluminium, garnet.

Used for soft tissue surgery, coagulation and hemostasis (absorbed well by hemoglobin)
(minimally absorbed by hard tissue)

103
Q

What are the erbium lasers made of and used for?

A

Er: YAG – erbium, yttrium, aluminum, garnet
Er,Cr:YSGG – erbium, chromium, yttrium, scandium, gallium, garnet

Soft tissue procedures
remove caries & prepare enamel, dentin, cementum, and bone
direct & indirect pulp capping
primary tooth pulpotomies (comparable to FCS)
root canal disinfection

104
Q

Which lasers provide the best hemostatic ability?

A

CO2, diode, and Nd:YAG lasers all have capability of effectively incising tissue, coagulating and contouring tissue.
Erbium lasers have soft tissue capabilities but not as good hemostatic ability.

105
Q

What is LF laser fluorescence used for in dentistry?

A

Detecting occlusal caries – emitted fluorescence correlates with the extent of demineralization in the tooth.
E.g. Diagnodent (portable diode laser-based system)

Can indicate the proportional amt of caries present

Used as an adjunct.

Not for use to detect caries under resins or sealants (unreliable due to intrinsic fluorescence from the sealant material).

106
Q

Which lasers are successful for removal of caries and preparation of teeth?

A

Nd:YAG, Er:YAG, Er,Cr:YSGG

also successful for indirect and direct pulp capping

Erbium lasers are the predominant lasers for hard tissue prep

Dental lasers have also been used for pulpotomies and root canal disinfection, with success rate similar to Formo pulpotomies

107
Q

How do lasers benefit the pediatric patient during soft tissue surgery?

A

Selective and precise interaction with diseased tissues
Less thermal necrosis of adjacent tissue than electrosurge.

Hemostasis achieved w/o sutures

Wound healing faster w/less post-op discomfort/need for analgesics

Little to no LA required for most soft-tissue tx

Reduced chair time

lasers decontaminate/bactericidal on tissues → less abx post-op

Provide relief from pain/inflammation associated with aphthous ulcers/herpetic lesions

108
Q

How do erbium lasers remove caries?

A

Caries have higher water content than healthy tissue so they are removed effectively.
Nd:YAG & Erbium lasers have been shown to have analgesic effect on hard tissues, eliminating injections and the use of LA during tooth preparations.

109
Q

What is a concern regarding treatment with laser of viral lesions in immunocompromised patients?

A

The potential risk of disease transmission from laser-generated aerosol exists

**Wavelength-specific protective eyewear should be provided and consistently worn at all times!!

110
Q

Intrinsic stains can be caused by what 5 things?

A
  1. Blood borne pigments
  2. Drug
  3. Trauma
  4. Hypoplasia/hypomineralization
  5. Excessive F-
111
Q

What blood borne pigment causes purple, green, black, grey?

A

Purple-brown : porphyria

Foods
SnF
CHX
FeS – iron sulfide
tobacco
Ag2NO3 – silver nitrate

114
Q

What the the 3 indications for internal/external whitening?

A
  1. discoloration from trauma (calcific metamorphosis or darkening with devitalization)
  2. irregularities in enamel color due to trauma or infection of the preceding primary tooth
  3. intrinsic discoloration staining (fluorosis, tetracycline staining)
115
Q

Why would full arch bleaching during mixed dentition result in mismatched dental appearance?

A

Tooth color within an arch may vary significantly during mixed dentition due to difference in enamel thickness of primary and permanent teeth, leading to mismatched dental appearance once pt fully transitions

116
Q

Advantages of in-office whitening or whitening products (custom trays) dispensed and monitored by a dental professional:

A
  • An initial professional exam to identify causes of discoloration and clinical concerns with treatment (e.g.existing restorations and side effects)
  • professional control and soft-tissue protection
  • patient compliance
  • rapid results
117
