Q

guided tissue regeneration method

A

a surgical procedure for regenerating tissue by enhancing the opportunity for one cell type to proliferate.
eg. a membrane is used to exclude unwanted cell types

Q

scaffold method

A

promoting new tissue formation by providing a surface and void volume that encourages the migration and proliferation of desired cell types.
typically allowed to attach and proliferate in vitro then grafted into a host site.

17
Q

dentin, cementum and bone are all composed of what type of collagen and what mineral?

A

collagen type I

Hydroxyapatite(also in enamel)

18
Q

what is enamel formed by?

A

ameloblasts.

Enamel apposition begins at the DEJ and proceeds outward towards the surface of the tooth

19
Q

enamel composition structurally

A
  • made of long hexagonal crystals that span the entire enamel thickness (40 nm wide)
  • the crystals are then packed into enamel rods or prisms that are 5 microns across
  • about 100 crystals needs to span diameter of prism. visible after etching
20
Q

why is the protein coat important for enamel

A

increases the toughness

21
Q

what are the interfaces between prisms called?

A

inter-rod enamel
contain, organic components of enamel, allow flow of water and ions.
-known as prism sheaths

22
Q

what kind of acid is the etch

A

phosphoric acid and it dissolves the enamel crystals in each prism

23
Q

type I enamel etching

A

prism core is preferentially etched

24
Q

type II enamel etching

A

the prism periphery is preferentially etched

25
Q

type III enamel etching

A

results in a uniform or mixed pattern of etching

26
Q

T/F there is a difference in bond strength between the types of etching?

A

false, no difference in bond strength has been established

27
Q

what type of bond does the bonding agent make with the enamel after etching has roughened the surface of the enamel making it look frosty?

A

micromechanical bond

28
Q

is the enamel near the DEJ prismatic or aprismatic?

A

aprismatic, this makes it harder to etch

29
Q

where is fluoride concentration highest in enamel?

A

higher in the subsurface making it harder to etch deeper into the enamel

30
Q

with hydroxyapatite what commonly displaces the Calcium, phosphate and hydroxyl groups seen in enamel and dentin?

A

calcium: sodium and magnesium
phosphate: carbonate
hydroxyl: fluoride (most important)

31
Q

what is hydorxyapatite called when fluoride has replace the hydroxy group?

A

fluoroapatite, which is stronger and less soluble in acids.

32
Q

what type of cells make dentin and where are they found?

A

odontoblasts, found on the outer wall of the pulp immediately medial to the advancing wall of dentin.

33
Q

what is a distinct feature of dentin?

A

tubules created by odontoblast moving in from the DEJ .

34
Q

Composition of dentin

A

50% carbonate rich, calcium-deficient apatite
30% organic material, primarily type 1 collagen
20% fluid

35
Q

what is peritubular or intratubular dentin?

A

the lumen of the tubules and is highly mineralized apatite crystals and little to no organic collagen

36
Q

what is intertubular dentin

A

the stuff between the tubules, and consists of type I collagen matrix reinforced by apatite.

37
Q

where is tubular density most dense?

A

near the pulp

38
Q

what are the 4 types of dentin?

A
  • Primary: dentin formed by odontoblasts before tooth eruption
  • Secondary: dentin formed by odontoblasts after tooth erruption
  • Tertiary: reparative dentin that forms quickly in response to trauma. *only found under dentinal tubules that have been exposed to trauma, at the outer pulpal wall
  • Transparent or sclerotic: a type of tertiary dentin that develops following trauma, tubules are partially occluded with mineral.
39
Q

what does acid etching do in dentin?

A

clears the debris from the smear layer and alters the external lumen of the tubules allowing better infiltration by bonding agents.
**peritubular dentin is preferentially removed since is has no organic component thus widening the tubule creating a funnel shape.

40
Q

why is transparent dentin hard to bond to?

A

because of the plugs formed by the minerals from the trauma, etching doesn’t always remove the plug thus making it not as permeable to the bonding agent.

41
Q

what is another important component of etching other than widening the tubules and removing the smear layer?

A

removes the mineralized component of intertubular dentin leaving a network of collagen fibrils.
This allows for the micromechanical basis for dentin bonding.

42
Q

why is dental conditioning important?

A

if you allow the dentin to become dry to collagen matrix flattens and the tubules shrink, making bonding more difficult.
