Q

As a dentist, what must you know about materials?

A
  • dental practitioners are responsible for the materials to which a patient will be exposed
  • must have knowledge and understanding of the composition of the materials and how they can affect patients
  • safest and most effective
  • read and understand all inserts that come with materials

26
Q

How can material travel?

A

Throughout the body-blood, lymph nodes, adrenal glands, kidney, brain

27
Q

What does calcium hydroxide stimulate?

A

Tertiary dentin formation

28
Q

Since a restoration may have an adverse effect on the pulp, a range of materials were developed to be applied. What are they?

A

Intermediate restorative materials (IRMs), applied to dentin prior to the placement of the final restoration

29
Q

What are examples of intermediate restorative materials?

A

Cavity varnishes, bases and liners and are intended to remain in place permanently
**these materials shouldn’t be confused with temp restorative materials

30
Q

What are roles of intermediate restorative materials?

A

Protective, palliative or therapeutic

31
Q

What is the goal of intermediate restorative materials?

A

Protect the pulp from chemical, electrical (galvanic shock - dissimilar metals), thermal

32
Q

What are examples of intermediate restorative materials?

A

ZOE - sedative like qualities on hypersensitive pulp and is good thermal insulator as well

33
Q

What are qualities of intermediate restorative materials?

A

*Acts as a thermal insulator
*Excellent abrasion resistance
*Good sealing properties
*Low solubility
*May be used under cements and restorative materials that do not contain resin components

34
Q

What are things to consider when working with intermediate restorative material?

A
  • material should not discolor the tooth or restoration
  • should harden quick enough to allow subsequent insertion of the restoration
  • should withstand the condensation of the over laying restoration
  • should be easily manipulated- what works for you
35
Q

Where are liners and bases placed?

A

Between dentin (and sometimes pulp) and the restoration to provide pulpal protection or pulpal response

36
Q

What do protective needs for a restoration vary depending on?

A

The extent and location of the preparation and the restorative material to be used

37
Q

What are characteristics of liners and base selection?

A

Determined largely by the purpose it is expected to serve

38
Q

Why are liners and bases not fully distinguishable?

A

Because they share similar objective/properties

39
Q

What are bases?

A

thick mix of material which is placed in bulk
Used as a dentin replacement to minimize final restorative material

40
Q

Wha are bases used for?

A

To block out undercuts

41
Q

Where are liners applied?

A

As a thin coating over exposed dentin

42
Q

What are liners used to promote?

A

Less than 0.5mm thick and is able to promote the health of the pulp by adhesion or antibacterial action

43
Q

What is the primary role of liners?

A

To protect the pulp

44
Q

What bond do liners form?

A

Strong bond to dentin, preventing fluid movement down the dentinal tubules

45
Q

What kind of barrier do liners provide?

A

A bacterial barrier

46
Q

What release do liners have?

A

sustained Fluoride

47
Q

What is vitrebond?

A

Light Cure Resin-modified Glass Ionomer
Liner/base

48
Q

What can vitrebond be used under?

A

composite, amalgam, metal and ceramic restorations

49
Q

What is vitrebond not indicated for?

A

NOT INDICATED FOR DIRECT PULP CAPPING

50
Q

What is the pH of calcium hydroxide?

A

Ca(OH)2- highly alkaline with a pH of 11-12.5

51
Q

How long does bactericidal activity retain its anti-bacterial property for?

A

About 2 months

52
Q

What do liners help with the formation of?

A

Tertiary dentin

53
Q

What are liners used for?

A

Direct and indirect pulp capping

54
Q

What is dycal?

A

Calcium hydroxide liner

55
Q

How is dycal cured?

A

Self curing or light cured

56
Q

What is a varnish?

A

Natural gum (copal), rosin, or synthetic resin dissolved in organic solvent

57
Q

What properties do varnishes have?

A

Antimicrobial and antiviral properties

58
Q

What do varnishes easily seep into?

A

Open dental tubules

59
Q

What do varnishes prevent?

A

Transfer of heat and cold to the dentin and pulp

60
Q

What do we use at the school instead of varnishes?

A

Vitrebond

61
Q

When should varnishes not be used?

A
  • Under composite restorations (interferes with the setting reaction)
  • Under glass ionomers (interferes/prevents fluoride release)
62
Q

What is copalite used as?

A

An insulating layer under gold and amalgam restorations

63
Q

What should you do in a shallow tooth prep?

A

Place nothing, vitrebond, or varnish

64
Q

What should you do for a moderate depth prep?

A

Liners may be placed for thermal protection and pulpal medication along with varnish

65
Q

What should you do for a very deep prep?

A

Liner may be calcium hydroxide, then the base vitrebond (glass ionomer) or IRM
