rubber dam, pulp protection, class II Flashcards
advantages of rubber dam
- isolation (moisture control)
- retraction
- access
- visibility
- patient/staff protection
- safety, quality, efficiency
rubber dam for anterior teeth
1st pm to 1st pm
rubber dam for posterior teeth
8 (or one tooth distal) to opposite lateral incisor
clamp for upper left molars and lower 8
12A
clamp for upper right molars and lower 8
13A
clamp for lower molars
3
clamp for premolars
2
butterfly clamp
- single tooth (eg endo)
- class V
- anterior premolars
exceptions to rubber dam
- ortho
- fixed/partial dentures
pulp
loose connective tissue with many cell types, vascular network, and sensory innervation
functions of pulp
- dentinogenesis
- defense
- sensation
- nutrition
main factor responsible for pulpal inflammation and necrosis
bacteria
responses of pulp to noxious stimuli
- inflammation (pulpitis)
- deposition of tertiary dentin
- degeneration and necrosis
vital tissues
respond to stimuli
functions of pulpal protection materials
- protect pulp from thermal, chemical and bacterial stimuli
- seal dentinal tubules and resto margins
- reduce sensitivity
- induce tertiary dentin
- promote pulpal healing
best protection for pulp
healthy dentin
varnish is used with
amalgam
varnish function
- seal dentin and reduce microleakage
- prevent dentin discolouration by amalgam
can you use varnish with composite resin, adhesive systems, or GI
NO (only amalgam!)
another name for calcium hydroxide
dycal
function of calcium hydroxide
- inhibits bacterial growth
- promotes formation of tertiary dentin
pH of dycal
> 9 (HIGH!)
disadvantage of dycal
low resistance to compressive forces
when can you use ca oh2
amalgam, CR, GI
where do you apply ca oh2
only in select areas (deep areas)
*not to be used as a base
varnish is used as a
base (applied all over)
ca oh2 can be used with
RMGI (because CaOH2 isnt strong against compressive forces)
varnish should go ____ RMGI and ca(OH)2 if its amalgam resto
ontop
product name of RMGI
vitrebond
properties of RMGI
- cariostatic (releases f-)
- weak chemical adhesion to enamel and dentin
- good compressive strength
- minimal shrinkage
- low pH
- cytotoxic
how does RMGI polymerize
light cure (30 sec)
function of adhesive system
- retention
- seal
- reduce microleakage
property of adhesive system
cytotoxic
can you use adhesive systems for both Ag and CR
yes
what makes up the adhesive system
- acid etch
- primer
- adhesive
bonded amalgam
adhesive used instead of varnish
