1
Q

Why do we restore teeth?

A
  1. To stop progression and prevent its recurrence
  2. Restore occlusion and function
  3. Restore aesthetics
  4. Maintain the physiological integrity of the teeth with the adjacent hard and soft tissues
  5. Restore patient cohort and satisfaction

Q

Why might composite fail?

A
  1. Incorrect case selection
    2, Difficulty to obtain long term adhesion between the composite resin and the dentine
  2. Failure to light cure composite in increments
  3. Contamination of the material (moisture control)
  4. Polymerisation shrinkage causing caries, sensitivity, marginal deficiency

Q

What allergy can a patient have that may effect the success of a restoration?

A
  1. An oral lichenoid reaction can occur of the oral mucosa against amalgam or gold alloys

Q

How can a restoration failure affect the patient and dentist?

A
  1. Requires time
  2. Requires money
    3, Uses materials
  3. Affects remaining tooth structure
18
Q

What material factors can lead to restorative failure

A
  1. Compressive strength
  2. Adhesion property
  3. Resistance to fatigue
  4. Solubility
  5. Ditching and creeping
19
Q

What are ditching and creeping a result of?

A

A result of the slow deformation of amalgam placed under constant loads

20
Q

When can ditching and creeping mostly be seen?

A

When using amalgam with the gamma 2 phase products

21
Q

What is ditching and creeping?

A

Breakage of a thin edge creating an irregular V shaped crevice

22
Q

When does creep happen?

A

When the corrosive products leak and fill the hap between the tooth and the restoration

23
Q

Which filling material would you recommend to a patent with a high caries risk?

A

Amalgam

24
Q

Give some diseases that can cause restorations to fail

A
  1. Caries
  2. Tooth wear
  3. Periodontal disease
  4. Pulpal problems
  5. Trauma
25
Q

What technical failures can arise which may cause the restoration to fail?

A
  1. Fractured restoration
  2. Marginal breakdown
  3. Tooth fracture
  4. Defective contours
  5. Failure of retention
26
Q

How do you detect restoration failure?

A
  1. Patent symptoms
  2. Visual and tactile inspection
  3. Transillumination
  4. Radiographic examination
  5. Occlusal examination
27
Q

What complaints might a patient come in with if their restoration fails?

A
  1. Pain
  2. Aesthetic concerns
  3. Discolouration
  4. Fracture
28
Q

What is the treatment for oral lichenoid to amalgam?

A

Replace the amalgam restoration with an amalgam and check if the allergy has vanished

29
Q

How do we confirm a patient has had a lichenoid reaction to amalgam?

A

Replace the amalgam restoration with an amalgam and check if the reaction has vanished

30
Q

How can we visually check if a patent has a failed reaction?

A 
1, Caries 
2. marginal breakdown
3 .lost restoration
4. fractured restoration
5. excessive discoloration
6. open contacts and overhangs
31
Q

What is the main reason a restoration (of any material) is replaced?

A

Secondary caries

32
Q

What is primary caries?

A

Caries formed at a new site on the tooth

33
Q

What is secondary caries?

A

Caries found at the margin or under a restoration

34
Q

What is another name for secondary caries?

A

Recurrent caries

35
Q

In which material is risk of secondary caries higher and by how much?

A

Risk of secondary caries was found to be 3.5x greater for composite than amalgam restorations

36
Q

Diagnosis of caries should be supported by what?

A

Radiographic finding and clinical symptoms

37
Q

Diagnosis of caries should be supported by what?

A

Radiographic finding and clinical symptoms

38
Q

How can the tooth next to the restored develop caries?

A

Due to iatrogenic damage during preparation

This happens in 60-70% of proximal preparations

39
Q

What can cause a change in colour of a restoration?

A

Dure to:

  1. Loss of marginal integrity
  2. Microleakage of composite resin restorations
  3. Marginal staining
  4. Loss of surface lustre and polish
40
Q

When do repair a restoration?

A
  1. When theres no obvious spreading or gross caries that would structurally undermine the restoration or remaining tooth structure
  2. . If theres sufficient volume of retained restorations remaining and it is strong enough to resist masticatory forces
  3. If the new restoration can bond to the old one
  4. When there no potential aesthetic mismatch between old and new materials
