Restoring Large and in charge (Annie) restorations Flashcards
An extremely sensitive part of the tooth, where enamel and dentin meet:
DEJ
Dentinal tubules are filled with ____ and wrapped in ____
odontoblastic processes; afferent nerves & dentinal fluid
When enamel or cementum is removed during cavity preparation, the ___ of dentin is lost which allows small fluid movements in the tubules, causing distraction s in the afferent nerve endings hence pain
external seal of dentin
Refer to a mike the situation when one tooth or multiple teeth at the same appointment are treated quickly by:
- removing the infected dentin
- medicating the pulp, if necessary
- restoring the defects with a temporary material
caries control restorations
T/F: according to caries control restorations, undermined enamel can be left to better retain the temporary material:
true
What are the steps to caries control restorations?
- removing the infected dentin
- medicating the pulp (if necessary)
- restoring the defects with a temporary material
Used when a deep carious lesion occurs and THERE IS NO CLINICAL OR RADIOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE OF IRREVERSIBLE PULP DAMAGE (such as history of spontaneous pain, heat sensitivity relieved by cold, or a P A,. lesion)
indirect pulp cap
In order to perform an indirect pulp cap, the tooth should be ___ or at most have symptoms consistent with ____ such as moderate cold sensitivity, with pain subsiding within about 15 seconds
asymptomatic; reversible pulpitis
T/F: Caries is typically less extensive than the radiograph shows
false- usually deeper than appears on radiograph
The objective of an indirect pulp cap is to:
AVOID A PULP EXPSOURE
A liner may be added to the:
deepest parts of a prep, closest to the pulp
When using a liner, the liner material should be kept away from:
away from the margin
Liner materials include:
- calcium hydroxide
- resin modified glass ionomer
Brand names for calcium hydroxide liners:
Life & Dycal
Indications for calcium hydroxide liners (Life & Dycal)
use on deepest preps- pulp capping material
Brand name for resin modified glass ionomer:
Vitrebond
Vitrebond must be ____ and releases ____ over time
light cured; fluoride
The “two appointment approach” of indirect pulp capping is done the the removal of all the infected (soft, leathery) dentin is most likely going to result in:
a pulp exposure
The “two appointment approach” of indirect pulp capping is done the the removal of all the infected (soft, leathery) dentin is most likely going to result in a pulp exposure:
- Remove:
- Leave:
- Remove- all caries, both affected and infected dentin from all areas EXCEPT the deepest, close to the pulp
- Leave- the last little bit of infected dentin, cover it with calcium hydroxide (dycal or life) and glass ionomer (vitrebond)
T/F: With the two appointment approach for indirect pulp capping, some infected dentin (closest to pulp) can be left
True
T/F: With the two appointment approach for indirect pulp capping, affected dentin is left while infected dentin is removed
False- both are removed except for the last little bit of infected dentin closest to pulp
T/F: with the two appointment approach for indirect pulp capping, either dycal/life or vitrebond is used:
False- both are used (Liner and RMGI)
After placing liner and RMGI with the two appointment approach to indirect pulp capping, place:
a temporary restoration such as IRM or ketac silver
According to the two appointment approach to indirect pulp capping, it is okay to:
leave some underlined enamel TEMPORARILY to help col dn the temporary restoration
How long should you wait between the first and second appointment with the two appoint approach to indirect pulp capping:
several weeks (perhaps 12)
With two appoint approach to indirect pulp capping, why should you wait several to twelve weeks between the first and second appointment?
To allow the body to form reparative dentin in the site of the near exposure - if we get the desired result, a dentin bridge will have formed
What is the desired result for waiting the several weeks between appointments with the two appoint approach to indirect pulp capping:
dentin bridge formation (fingies crossed)
With the two appointment approach to indirect pulp capping, at the end of the 12 weeks, confirm that the patient is _____ and do a ____ before anesthetizing
asymptomatic; vitality test
With the two appointment approach to indirect pulp capping, the tradition approach following the 12 weeks and confirming asymptomatic patient is:
- remove the temp restoration, glass ionomer, and CaOH
- carefully remove remaining infected dentin
- leave affected dentin
- place new liner of dycal and if desired, place vitrebond
- remove all undermined enamel & modify prep
- restore with permanent material
Soft, leathery caries=
infected dentin
dry, powdery caries
affected dentin
Is affected dentin invaded by microorganisms?
no
What is the more common approach for indirect pulp capping?
single appointment approach
Used when a small pulpal exposure occurs during cavity preparation:
direct pulp cap
