Q

Why is calcium hydroxide a good pulpal floor liner

A
  1. Kills remaining bacteria
  2. Stimulates formation of reparative dentin
  3. Pulp tissue healing
24
Q

Calcium hydroxide cement (not liner) is also called

A

DYCAL

25
Q

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

A

DYCAL (calcium hydroxide cement) has low compressive strength (12mPa) so RMGI will increase compressive strength.

26

Salicylate esters

Calcium hydroxide and zinc oxide (small constituent) form chelate with salicylate esters

27
Q

A

Polymerizable resin compositions containing calcium hydroxide (alternative to replace use of CaO)

CaO chelate STILL MOST COMMON FORM SOLD (original formula)

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

Describe powder composition of a conventional glass ionomer cement

A

Ground and milled alumino-silicate glass

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
