Test 2 Review Flashcards
what is the benefit of delayed cementation of fiber posts?
results in higher retentive strengths in comparison to immediate cementation and the best results were obtained when the luting agent was brought into the post space with lentigo spirals or specific syringes
___ thickness influences the pullout strength of fiber-reinforced posts. The highest bond strength values are obtained when ___
- Resin cement fill
- the cement layer oversized the post spaces but not larger than 0.3mm
When is the use of core build-up materials as post luting cements recommended?
Only one scenario: Don’t want to remove dentin to make room for a larger post. You can use the core build-up materials to cement the post in these cases. In other words, if you have a large gap, you can use the build-up materials to cement the post.
What are 4 factors for the long term success of post endodontic restorations?
- occlusion
- preservation of tooth tissue
- presence of a ferrule effect
- adhesion
Evidence shows that ___ posts are superior to metal posts or tooth-colored posts, like zirconia dowels.
fiber
T or F:
Posts should be used to reinforce the tooth
false
they are used to retain restoration and not reinforce the tooth.
___ and ___ forces influence the prognosis of restorations on endodontically treated teeth.
Functional and parafunctional
Nonaxial forces are a risk for ___
fatigue fracture of teeth, cement, and restorative material.
what are fundamental components of a complete laboratory prescription?
- patient name
- patient MRN number
- date of prescription
- due date of indirect restoration
- school of dentistry name and contact info
- tooth or teeth numbers
- desired materials for indirect restoration
- design info for indirect restoration (if indicated) – margin design, special instructions for material placement, pontic design if FPD
- other special instructions
- shade info if indicated
- photographs if indicated (no cell phone pictures)
- due date
- attending signature
- attending license number
what are the 3 considerations/parameters/stipulations of tooth preparations, and what is the goal of the dentist with respect to these parameters?
mechanical, biological, esthetic
we want to be in the center of that venn diagram with our restorative work; sometimes we have to sacrifice one of those principles to get a better overall result
what can happen if you take an alginate impression, then immediately rinse it off and put it in a plastic bag?
it can take on water (imbibition)
what are the 3 types of resin cements?
adhesive, self-adhesive, esthetic
what is an example of a self adhesive resin cement?
relyX unicem
of adhesive, self adhesive, and esthetic resin cements, which is has the strongest bond?
adhesive
of adhesive, self adhesive, and esthetic resin cements, which has to be used with a bonding agent?
esthetic
it will be incredibly strong, but not as strong as adhesive
what is bis-acryl used for?
temporary material
___ is a temporary material that has good color selection, but the shelf life is not very good. why?
- bis-acryl
- the colors start to darken after the expiration date
bis-acryl is a ___-based resin material
bis-GMA
would you want to use bis-acryl for a bridge? why or why not?
no
it is a big-GMA resin material and so it is brittle
triad material is better for bridges
what is it that makes the outer layer of bis-acryl gummy after polymerization?
the oxygen inhibited layer
when can you add to bis-acryl?
when the oxygen inhibited layer is still there
it is much more difficult if that layer is gone
___ is a methylmethacrylate that has to be light cured to fully polymerize
unifast
what is a disadvantage of unifast?
not great esthetically
what are some advantages of unifast?
- handles very nice and is very forgiving
- good for contours of gingival embrasures where you feel like material might get locked in
what type of matrix should you use with unifast?
alginate
don’t want to use the putty matrix
___ is the most esthetic version of zirconia. why?
high trans, because it has more zirconia in the cubic phase (this also means it’s slightly weakened)
___ is the strongest phase of zirconia, and it is stabilized by ___
- tetragonal
- yttria, ceria, and alumina
what is the ideal length of a post, and how much gutta percha should be at the apex?
- 2/3 - 3/4 the length of the root
- 4-5mm of gutta percha at the apex
___ posts tend to stress dentin at the coronal end, while ___ posts tend to stress dentin at the apical end
- tapered
- parallel
what happens to stress forces on dentin if you shorten a post?
it increases the stress forces
is it ok to use a green stone to adjust zirconia?
no, because it will cause a phase change to monoclinic since it’s not as strong of a material as zirconia
transformation toughening is also called ___
crack propagation prevention
transformation toughening occurs when a crack forms in zirconia, causing a phase change from ___ to ___
tetragonal to monoclinic, which is larger, so it makes it tougher and more resistant to more cracking
zirconia can break down from certain insults like heat and friction. what is the phase change that occurs, and what can it cause?
- tetragonal to monoclinic
- can cause fracture, increased abrasivity, low-temp aging degradation, increased hydrothermal solubility
