Q

what happens in the maturation stage

A

al3+ salts precipitate for 24 hours
the setting process can continue for unto a year but very slowly
the formation of poly salts is continued

12
Q

what role does water play

A

slowly hydrates the mature cross linked matrix
this leads to increase strength
improved translucency
increased resistance to desiccation

Q

how does fluoride release

A

a rapid initial process

then a second slower much sustained process responsible for the long term release of fluoride

Q

what is the advantage of fluoride

A

prevents secondary caries as it promotes remineralisation

it is also the main reason for GIC replacement

used in ART technique

25
Q

what is the survival time on posterior teeth of amalgam

A

median survival time 11 years

26
Q

what is the survival time on posterior teeth of GIC

A

MEDIAN survival time of 6 years

27
Q

deserve resin modified GIC

A

RMGIC are glass ionomer cements with the addition of a small quantity of resin components

28
Q

what is the % of resin in set cement

A

4.5-6%

29
Q

what are the advantages of RMGIC

A

tooth coloured
improved aesthetics
medium fluoride release
shorter setting
decreased moisture
improved tensile strength
sets on command
better wear characteristics
easier to use
higher bond strength to composite
fewer steps than composite

30
Q

describe 2 modifications of conventional GICS

A

Less water can be used- it is replaced by a water/HEMA mixture called a vitremer

Modification of a poly acid with side chains that can polymerise by high curing mechanisms

31
Q

what does the polymer also contain

A

polymerisable functional groups of COO and COOH which can be cured with blue light

32
Q

what does HEMA stand for

A

hydroxyethylmethacrylate

33
Q

disadvantages of HEMA

A

irritating to the eye and known contact allergen

34
Q

how do we reduce the risk of allergic response to hema

A

minimise exposure

esp to uncured resin

35
Q

clinically what is important when handling HEMA

A

protective gloves and no touch technique

36
Q

what are the indications of RMGIC

A

cervical and root caries

base and abfraction lesions

37
Q

what are the advantages of RMGIC in terms of cervical and root caries, as a base or in a fraction lesions

A

~~~

40
Q

what are compomers made from

A

from from new monomers which contain acidic and acrylate groups

41
Q

what does the setting mechanism 1st stage include in compomers

A

light curing induces the polymerisation of the resins

42
Q

what does the setting mechanism 2nd stage include in compomers

A

after water uptake the acid base reaction takes place resulting in further cross linking of the matrix

43
Q

pros of the setting mechanism in compomers

A

excellent handling
command set
good strength

44
Q

cons of the setting mechanism in compomers

A

poor adhesion
low fluoride release

Q

what is the tensile strength of VITREMER

A

75 MPa

47
Q

what is the tensile strength of dyract

A

95 MPa

48
Q

why do GPC restorations fail

A

due to recurrent caries

49
Q

what % of GPC restorations fail due to recurrent caries

A

50%

50
Q

describe chemfil rock

A

added zinc which makes it stronger tougher and earlier
no need to condition the cavity
no need to protect with varnish

51
Q

describe new bioactive RMGIC

A

It chemically bonds to teeth, seals against bacterial microleakage, releases more fluoride and is more bioactive than glass ionomers, and is more durable and fracture resistant than composites
