Tissue Management Prostho long quiz Flashcards
exclusion of sulcular fluid, saliva and gingival bleeding from operating field
moisture control
prevention of aspiration or swallowing of fluid sprayed from the handpiece and restorative debris
*objectives are isolation, retractions and accessibility
moisture control
objectives of isolation
- obtain a dry clean operating field
- improve properties of dental materials
- protect the patient and operator
- improve the dentists operating efficiency
methods of fluid control
- mechanical (saliva ejector, high vol evacuator), absorbant(cotton rolls, cellulose wafers)
- rubber dam-should not be used w/ polysiloxane impression materials for it to inhibit polymerization
- chemical-use of antisialogogues drugs and local anest
group of drugs used to control salivary flow
-are gastrointestinal anti-cholinergic drugs that inhibit the action of myoepithelial cells in salivary glands producing dry mouth
anti-sialogogues
woven cord impregnated w/ chemicals
- electrosurgery
- combination of chemical in cord and electrosurgery
- curettage with stone while doing prep of Finish line
Gum Retraction Technique
the shallow groove around tooth bounded on one side by surface of tooth and on the other by the epith lining of free margin of gingiva.
gingival crevice
-‘V’ shaped w/ its base at the most coronal level of the epithelial attachment to the tooth root
gingival crevice
what is the dentist’s goal?
to accomplish the required procedure w/ a minimal degree of unintended alteration of the gingival tissue
what is the purpose of tissue retraction?
- exposure and inspection of subgingival and equigingival finish line
- control of bleeding
- accessibility to finishing line
what are some points to consider during tissue retraction?
- location of cord should be within gingival crevice at or just below the finish line
- avoidance of any trauma
what is the process of chemico-mechanical? (soaked retraction cord)
- combine mech (pressure packing) w/ chemical leadin to enlargement of gingival sulcus and fluid control
* retraction cords are soaked in chemicals w/c promotes gingival contraction to provide better gingival retraction than plain cord
ideal requirments of chemicals used
- should produce effective gingival displacement
- should promote hemostasis
- should not produce irreversible damage to gingiva
- no systemic side effects
drugs used for cord retraction
- epinephrine
- alum astringent
- ferric sulfate(15%)
- ferric chloride(22%)
Contraindications of epinephrine
- cardiovasc diseases
- diabetes
- hyperthyroidism
- known hypersensitivity to epinephrine
- causes tachycardia (if placed in lacerated tissue)
