Geometric Factors Affecting Dentin Bonding in Root Canals: A Theoretical Modeling Approach. To estimate influence of geometric variables ( C-Factor, thickness and volumetric shrinkage of sealer, root canal dentine) in resin bonding to root dentine. Polymerization stresses exceed bond strength of resin to dentine à debonding to relieve stresses · Thicker sealer reduces C-Factor · Increase in file size caused only modest increase in C-Factor · High C Factor is a major obstacle for producing gap free adhesive fillings in root canals

Class V cavities were prepped, elicited pain, extracted teeth right away and sectioned for histological studies. Cold and pressure caused outward movement of odontoblast nuclei, heat caused inward movement. Supporting hydrodynamic theory. Tome’s fiber might not directly cause pain but trigger nerve fibers in pulp.

A

Madison, Mad money, microleakage, in the mad 80s.

In vivo study, dye penetration occurred in all groups with considerable variability within groups.

The presence of coronal microleakage as demonstrated by dye penetration after exposure of the root canals to the oral cavity should alert the clinician to this route as a potential etiology for root canal treatment failure.

36
Q
  1. Senia, 1971

Clorox is more effective than saline in dissolving pulp tissue but limited effect at 1mm, and 3mm level or within isthmus. More effective in larger diameters than the smaller ones.

37
Q
  1. Sarkar, 2005
A

Physicochemical basis of MTA. MTA is a mechanical mixture of three powder ingredients: Portland cement (75%), bismuth oxide (20%), and gypsum (5%). In contact with an STF, MTA’s surface layer dissolves (bio-active), releasing all of its major cationic components and triggering the precipitation of HA on its surface and in the surrounding fluid.

Series 29, Step down, 20-40 degree. To determine the shaping ability of profile .04 taper 29 NI-TI instruments in simulated canals in clear resin blocks

Profile.04 taper series 29 rotary niti instruments prepared simulated canals rapidly and created good 3D form. A substantial number of instruments deformed

Canal shape did not influence significantly instrument deformation. Canal shape influenced the flow of the preparation. Larger ProFiles were associated with more deformation than the smaller instruments.

Q
  1. Foreman, 1990
A

CaOH2 review.

CaOH2 induced formation of fibrous tissue when in direct contact with tissues

The calcium ions in the mineralized content are not from CaOH2

CaOH2 is an initiator and a local buffer against inflammation

It neutralizes lactic acid produced by osteoclasts and prevent further destruction of bone

The high PH activate alkaline phosphataseactivity in bone formation

Optimum PH for alkaline phosphatase activity is 12

Calcium ions reduce the permeability of capillaries and maintain the concentration at mineralization site

Increased Calcium ions inhibits pyrophosphates (normal self-limiting enzymes for mineralization). Might cause uncontrolled mineralization of the pulp

46
Q
  1. Pashley. 1986
A

Dentin Permeability, Dentin Sensitivity, and Treatment Through Tubule Occlusion

Hydrodynamic theory states that fluid movement causes dental sensitivity, then anything that decreases the movement of this fluid should reduce dentinal sensitivity.

Physiochemical mechanismis:

Growth of intratubular crystals from salivary or dentinal fluid mineral.

Adsorption of plasma proteins into tubules.

Smear layer.

Theurapeutic approaches:

Application of unfilled resins or oxalate salts to occlude tubules.

Goal is to restore original impermiability of tubules.
