Week 3 Class I and V Restorations Flashcards
what are the type of liners in placing an occlusal restoration
-calcium hydroxide
- glass ionomer
which liner releases fluoride over time
glass ionomer
how do you use calcium hydroxide liners
-mix with spatula end of dycal instrument
- use dycal instrument to place over area of nearest pulp
- often cover with RMGI
how do you use resin modified glass ionomer liner/ base
-mix with spatula end of dycal instrument
- use dycal instrument to place over area nearest pulp
- often used to cover calcium hydroxide
-light cured
what is the difference between a liner and a base
a liner is placed in a thin layer over dentin
a base is placed in thicker layer on floor of prepared cavity
what are the steps in placing an occlusal restoration
- place liner and/or base if needed
- seal dentinal tubules
when would you need to use a base
deep caries
when would you seal dentinal tubules
preps that would be especially prone to sensitivity
what are the types of desensitizers
- copal resin
- bonding agents
- gluteraldehyde (gluma)
what are the advantages and disadvantages of copal resin
advatages: inexpensive, quick to use
disadvantages: leaves a film thickness
what are the advantages and disadvantages to unfilled dentin bond agent
advantage: intermediate in cost
disadvantage: some required more than one step; involves some form of etching with an acid which may leave teeth more vulnerable to recurrent caries, leaves a film thickness
what are advantages and disadvantages to gluma
advantages: no film thickness, one step to apply
disadvantages: expensive, somewhat caustic to soft tissues and possibly to the pulp in deep preparations
how do you apply each desensitizer
-copal resin: wipe cavity walls with cotton pellet soaked in resin, then gently air dry
-dentin bonded resins: press resin into dentin using brush, gently air dry, light cure
- gluma: apply to walls for 30 seconds, dry, rinse, dry again. material is caustic; minimize contact with gingivae and protect pulp with liner/base in deep preps prior to application
why do we not use dentin desensitizers under amalgam
it makes negligible difference in tooth sensitivity because smear layer will seal most dentinal tubules and amalgam will seal itself with an oxide layer
what are the steps in placing an occlusal amalgam restoration
-place amalgam
-condense amalgam
- pre carve burnish
-carve anatomy
- refine restoration
what technique and instruments do yo uuse in condensing amalgam
- small condenser to pack firmly into all line angles at a 45 degree angle, using a pressing, wiggling motion in a step wise fashion
how much should you overfill the amalgam prep
1 mm
how do you do pre carve burnishing
-using side of the nib of the condensor or ball burnisher.
-burnish towards the margins to eliminate voids and to bring excess mercry to the surface where it can be carved away
- begin to define grooves
what tools do you use to carve anatomy into amalgam
-hollenback carver perpendicular to margins
-tip of the carver to recreate groove anatomy
how do you check and refine occlusion in amalgam restoration
-use articulating paper
-use discoid carver to remove high occlusion marks and inclined plane contacts
what should you try to preserve in amalgam restoration
- preserve cusp seats in the bottoms of fossae
what tools do you use to smooth the surfacr
-beavertail burnisher
- cotton pellet to leave matte finish
does carved amalgam gain longevity from the finishing process
no
how long do you have to wait to finish/polish amalgam restoration
24 hours after placement for amalgam to be set up
what is the instrument sequence for finishing amalgam
-green stone (coarse)
- white stone (medium)
- 12 bladed polishing bur (medium-fine)
what is the instrument sequence for polishing amalgam
-brown (pre-polish)
- green (polish)
- green with yellow collar (superpolish)
what are the finishing burs
-flame 7902
- round 7006
- bullet 7404
-small round 7002
- bullet pointed 7104
how do you place the finishing burs
-put the tip of the bur in the central groove and lay the bur across the enamel margin
what is the general sequence of finishing burs
most abrasive to the finest polishing instrument
what are the criteria for finished amalgam
-scratches and major surface irregularities should be gone
- high polish not necessary
-grooves should be definite but not deep
-no occlusal prematurities
what is the most important area in finished amalgam
-cavosurface margin
what circumstances would you finish an older amalgam resoration
-amalgam margins that have expanded beyond the caavosurface
- margins that were originally undercarved
- 1/3 of enamel thickness in localized area can be removed to extend the life of a restoration without replacing it
-margins with minimal ditching may be refined
- rough surfaces can be smoothed
why do we polish amalgam on slow speed
-rubber points may fall apart at high speeds
- tooth may overheat at high temp
-amalgam may overheat
what does it mean if you cant obtain a smooth surface on an amalgam restoration
surface was too rough to begin with, restart finishing procedure from beginning
what is the procedure for composite
-etch 2 sec, rinse
-place bond, gently air dry, light cur
- place composite increment, condense, light cure, repeat until prep is finished
-create anatomy, finish occlusal surface, light cure
-assess occlusion, refine restoration
-polish
what is the procedure for amalgam restoration
-titurate amalgam
-place amalgam
-condense amalgam
- pre-carve burinsh
-carve anatomy
-assess occlusion, refine restoration
what tools should use use to carve anatomy in composite restoration
-hollenback
- optasculpt
which type of restoration does the operator have more control over set up time
composite
can you polish a composite restoration in the same day
Yes
when should you finish during a composite restoration? when should you polish
finishing should be completed prior to light curing, polishing should be done after the restoration is finished
what are the advantages and disadvantages to composite
advantages: preparation can be more forgiving, esthetic, operator control over set up time, preserve tooth structure ( dont need to remove as much for retention)
disadvantages: restoration more technique senstivie, additional steps, may not last as long, not as strong, no moisture tolerance
what would be more traumatic to gingiva in a class 5 restoration: overcontouring or under contouring
overcontouring
what are the steps in placing a class v amalgam restoration
- follow same guidelines as occlusal
-use hollenback carver to remove excess amalgam
what are the 4 major classes of dental materials
-metals and alloys
- porcelains and ceramics
-polymers
-composites
what organizations regulate dental materials
american dental association and FDA
what does the FDA do in regulation of dental materials
-protect the public from hazardous or ineffective medical materials and devices
what happened in the 2009 FDA reclassification
reclassified amalgam from class 1 to class 2 where class 1: lowest risk -> class 3 highest risk
how does the ADA regulate dental materials
-specifications for dental materials, instruments, and equiptment
- restorative material specifications
what does performance of all dental materials depend on
their atomic structure
