Calcium hydroxide cement (not liner) is also called

25
Q

Why should Calcium hydroxide cement be covered by a layer of resin modified glass ionomer

28
Q

What factors affect setting rxn of Polycarboxylate cements?

A
  1. Powder/liquid ratio
  2. Reactivity
  3. Particle size (of Zinc-oxide)
  4. Presence of additives
  5. Molecular weight and conc. Of poly acrylic acid
29
Q

Give possible reasons for the minimal effect of Polycarboxylate cements on pulp?

A
  1. Relatively high pH of setting cement
  2. Localization of polyacrylic acid molecules.
  3. Minimal osmotic effect in dentin tubules
30
Q

Describe powder composition of a conventional glass ionomer cement

A

Ground and milled alumino-silicate glass

Two forms:

31
Q

Describe liquid component of conventional glass ionomer cement

A

50% polyacrylic-isotonic acid and tartaric acid (5%)

Mix w/ powder. Leach calcium and aluminum ions to surface. Cross link to form gel which then hardens.

Tartaric acid: Increase handling, increase working time, increase strength

32
Q

Glass Ionomer are what type of composites

A

Tru “molecular” composite

Aluminum-silicate glass become chemically bound to poly salt matrix via ionic bonds
