Q

With two appoint approach to indirect pulp capping, why should you wait several to twelve weeks between the first and second appointment?

A

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

Q

For a direct pulp cap, a thin layer of ____ is floated over the exposed pulp. A layer of ____ is placed over that.

A

calcium hydroxide; glass ionomer

36
Q

For a direct pulp cap, a thin layer of CaOH is floated over the exposed pulp. A layer of RMGI is placed over that.

This may help simulate the pulp to form ____ which can produce a ____ across the exposure site.

secondary odontoblasts; dentin bridge

37
Q

With a direct pulp cap, it is most successful when the exposure is _____ rather than ____

mechanical; carious

38
Q

Direct pulp caps work better at the ____ than they do on an exposure on the ___

direct pulp cap

40
Q

Whether you are doing an indirect of direct pulp cap, temporary, or “permanent” restoration:

A

SEAL THE CAVITY

41
Q

When is a smear layer created?

A

whenever the dentin has been cut

42
Q

The smear layer is a few micrometers thick and is composed of:

A

denatured collagen, hydroxyapatite, and other cutting debris

43
Q

The smear layer acts like a natural bandage over the cut surface since it occludes many dentinal tubules with debris called:

A

smear plugs

44
Q

When using “total etch” systems, we do not want to:

A

bond t the smear layer

45
Q

Acid conditioners =

A

35% phosphoric acid pH=0

46
Q

Most dentin bonding systems have ____ that remove the smear layer and partially demineralize the intertubular dentin

A

acid conditioners

47
Q

Dentin without a smear layer provides a good area for:

A

micro mechanical retention

48
Q

What is the the pH or acid primers? Give an example:

A

pH= 2.5 (HEMA)

49
Q

Acid primers do not remove the:

A

smear layer

50
Q

What removes the smear layer? Acid primers or acid conditioners?

A

acid conditioners

51
Q

Resin bonding to ____ can last for many years, however the strength of resin bonding to ____ haas a limited life span

A

enamel; dentin

52
Q

How does resin bonding to dentin have a limited lifespan?

A

due to deteriorating of the hybrid layer

53
Q

Often the bond of restorations that rely exclusively on resin bonding to dentin will be severely weakened after about:

A

four years

54
Q

Regardless of if etching to dentin or not, the enamel:

A

MUST be etched with 35% phos[horic acid, with total-etch or self etch

55
Q

Adhesive bone strengths to ____ dentin are greater than those for ____ dentin

A

superficial; deep

56
Q

dentin with more tubules:

reduced amount

59
Q

_____ dentin is more permeable than ____ dentin

deep; superficial

60
Q

The defensive function of the pulp is related to:

A

its response to irritation by mechanical, thermal, chemical, or bacterial stimuli

Because the confined rigid structure of the dentin limits the inflammatory response

decreases
