Restorative Cements Flashcards
What are the 4 basic classes of cements?
- Phosphate
- Phenolate
- Polycarboxylate (zinc Polycarboxylate, Glass Ionomer)
- Resin
Setting time is
Time from beginning of mixing of cement, to hard and ridgid state in mouth.
Working Time is
Time available for clinical manipulation
Phenolate cement types (primary types)
- Calcium hydroxide
2. Zinc Oxide Eugenol (ZOE)
Organic compound in ZOE
Eugenol
Water and elevated heat ______ZOE reaction
Accelerate
Zinc Eugenolate is ______________ by moisture
Easily hydrolyzed
Free Eugenol
- Remains within and diffused out of set material.
2. Acts as potential anti-inflammatory
Obtundent means
Reduces irritation or has a soothing effect on a tissue.
Eugenol is derived from
Clove oil
What agents accelerate the setting of ZOE cements?
- Water
- Zinc
- Salts (acetate & sulfate)
- Acidic materials
Why do ZOE cements have high solubility?
- Hydrolytic breakdown of zinc eugenolate
2. Extraction of eugenol from set cement
What materials can be added to ZOE cements to improve their strengths?
- Mineral Fillers
- Silica or alumina
- Natural resins (ex. pine rosin)
- Synthetic polymers (ex. Polymethyl methacrylate)
- Polystyrene
- Polycarbonate
What effect does ZOE have on resin restorations?
Inhibits polymerization of resin (results in softening and discoloration)
IRM is a type of ZOE cement that
- Used as temp. Restorative material
- Contains 10-40% resin polymer in powder to strengthen cement
- Compressive strengths of 35-55 mPa
Calcium hydroxide 2 paste system is
- Base paste (Salicylate)
2. Catalyst paste (calcium hydroxide, barium sulfate, acryl toulene sulfonamide)
Organic component of Calcium hydroxide is
Acryl toulene sulfonamide
Calcium hydroxide cement achieve radiopacity b/c of which component
Barium Sulfate
Calcium hydroxide cross-linking occurs in the presence of ______
Water
Calcium hydroxide liner’s primary intended use
Vital pulp therapy
Application of calcium hydroxide on direct opening (exposure)
Direct Pulp capping (DPC)
Application of calcium hydroxide on a very thin area of remaining dentin is called
Indirect pulp capping
