no associated secondary caries
significant marginal disintegration and restoration solubility

96
Q

cause of replacing glass ionomer restoration

A

aesthetic problems

97
Q

who are good candidates for glass ionomer restorations?

A

high caries risk
more caries susceptible
reduced or no saliva flow
oral diseases that accelerate pathogenicity

98

A

glass ionomer liner extended just short of margin

99
Q

when glass ionomers exposed to unusually high levels of external fluoride ions (topical fluoride, rinses, etc)

A

concentration gradient reverses and fluoride diffuses into glass ionomer

100
Q

recharging

A

when glass ionomer exposed to high external fluoride levels and concentration gradient reverses, allowing fluoride to diffuse into GI

discharging occurs just as quickly

doesn’t significantly improve secondary caries prevention

101
Q

A

false; discharging occurs as quickly as recharging began

102
Q

biocompatibility issues with glass ionomers

A

sensitivity and pulpal irritation at time of initial mixing

pH starts very low (1)

103
Q

why are GI pulpal effects limited to area immediately adjacent to material?

A

acid groups are attached to polymer molecules that have limited diffusibility

104
Q

when is it necessary to use a liner with glass ionomer?

A

if remaining dentin thickness less than 0.5mm

protect from unset glass ionomer

105
Q

type of liner used for glass ionomer

A

calcium hydroxide

106
Q

fluid filled dentin tubules in direct contact with setting cement what happens?

A
  1. high ion concentrations in unset GI cause dentinal fluid to diffuse out into cement. fluid movement sensed by pressure receptors = pulpal sensitivity
  2. unset components such as hydrogen ions move into tubules and towards pulp. Tubule fluid contents buffer ions when RDT is adequate
107
Q

methods to increase mechanical strength of GI materials used for restorations

A

mix at higher powder:liquid ratio
(higher filler:matrix)
reduced matrix content decreases postop sensitivity or pulpal problems.

Line preps with CaOH to provide barrier from unset GI while material is curing

108
Q

true/false? It is safe to dry demineralized dentin during etch and rinse adhesives

A

no! can result in collagen collapse

109
Q

goal of etch and rinse adhesives

A

find moist bonding techniques by combining hydrophilic and hydrophobic monomers into organic solvent

110
Q

advantage of etch and rinse adhesives

A

can re-wet dentin after drying to raise bonding strengths

demineralized dentin collagen matrix reexpands and recovers original dimensions

111
Q

2 step self etch

A

nonrinsing conditioners of self priming etchants
prime/etch enamel and dentin simultaneously
not as good as phosphoric acid

no deep depth of demineralization or resin infiltration
doesn’t completely remove smear layer = less postop sensitivity

112
Q

1 step self etch

A

etch, prime, bond in one solution
uncured, ionic monomers that contact restorative resin directly
some hydrophilic = water degradation
multiple coats increase bond strength, decrease leakage
hydrophobic bonding layer is helpful
do NOT provide hermetic seal for deep dentin

113
Q

etch and rinse adhesive solvent

A

displaces water from dentin surface and promotes infiltration of resin monomers throughout nanospaces of collagen web

114
Q

if you get too much water onto primer can you continue?

A

no, excess moisture makes it ineffective

115
Q

what should happen BEFORE application of etch and rinse adhesive system?

A

uniform layer of water over dentin

116
Q

role of water in self-etch systems

A

added to ionize acidic methacrylate monomers

solubilize calcium and phosphate ions that form from interactions of monomer with dentin/enamel

117
Q

true/false? water can compromise properties of one step self etch adhesives

A

true (hydrophilic monomers = water degradation)

118
Q

role of protein in dentin bonding

A

partial removal of phosphor-proteins from root lesions enhances remineralization otential

119
Q

demineralized dentin treated with adhesive layer leads to

A

remineralization

120
Q
