20
Q

3 advantages of non vital bleaching?

A
  • Simple
  • Tooth conserving

21
Q

When selecting a tooth for non vital bleaching , what are 4 things you should take into consideration?

A
  • Adequate root filling with signs of disease
  • Anterior teeth without large restorations
  • Not fluorosis or tetracycline discolouration
  • Not amalgam discolouration
22
Q

Describe the walking bleach technique?

A
  • Root filling removed to below gingival margin
  • Bleaching agent applied on cotton wool and placed in tooth
  • Covered with dry cotton wool then sealed using GIC
23

A
  • Every two weeks , 6-10 times
24
Q

When would you stop the process if there is no change?

After sealing with Caoh and GIC for two weeks , what would you restore the rest of the tooth with if you want to rebleach in the future?

A

White GP and composite resin

29
Q

After sealing with Caoh and GIC for two weeks , what would you restore the rest of the tooth with if you dont want to rebleach in the future?

A

Incrementally cured composite

30
Q

If regression happens after bleaching what two treatmentss can be offered?

A
  • Veneer or crown
31
Q

4 complications of non vital bleaching?

A
  • External root resorption
  • Spillage of bleaching agents
  • Failure to bleach or overbleaching
  • Brittlness of tooth crown
32
Q

Why do we place CaOH for two weeks ?

A

To reverse any acidity in the periodontal ligament that might have occured

33
Q

Why is a layer of cement placed over GP in non vital bleaching walking bleach technique?

A

To prevent the bleaching agent from reaching the external surface of the root

34
Q

What are the effects of short term exposure to bleaching agents on soft tissues ? Give 3

A
  • Minor ulceration and irritation
  • Plaque reduction
  • Aids wound healing
35
Q

Long term exposure effects of bleaching agents on soft tissues?

A
  • Delayed wound healing
  • Periodontal harm
  • Mutagenic potential
36
Q

Explain how resin infiltration is applied?

A
  • Surface layer of enamel is eroded
  • Lesions desiccated
  • Resin infiltrate(low viscosity light curing resin) is applied and penetrated lesion by capillary forces
  • Leading to a similar appearance of enamel
37
Q

Things to consider when removing enamel for veneers?

A
  • Age of patient
  • Tooth position
  • Aesthetics
