Q

what are intermediate restorative materials

A

materials that are applied to the dentin prior to the placement of the final restoration since a restoration may have an adverse effect on the pulp

25
Q

what is the role of intermediate restorative materials

A

-protective
-palliative
-or therapeutic

26
Q

what is the goal of intermediate restorative materials

A

protect the pulp from chemical, electrical, thermal

27
Q

what does zinc oxide eugenol do

A

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

28
Q

what are the benefits of intermediate restorative material

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 such as amalgams, inlays, onlays

29
Q

should intermediate restorative materials discolor the tooth

A

no

30
Q

intermediate restorative materials should harden____

A

quick enough to allow subsequent insertion of the restoration

31
Q

intermediate restorative materials should withstand ______

A

the condensation of the over laying restoration

32
Q

intermediate restorative materials should be easily _____

A

manipulated

33
Q

what are liners and bases

A

materials placed between dentin and sometimes pulp and the restoration to provide pulpal protection or pulpal response

34
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

35
Q

the characterisics of the liner or base selected are determined largely by what

A

the purpose it is expected to serve

36
Q

because liners and bases share similar properties/objectives, they are not always____

A

fully distinguishable in all cases but generalizations can be made

37
Q

what are bases

A

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

38
Q

what are bases used for

A

to block out undercuts

39
Q

when are liners applied

A

as a thin coating over exposed dentin

40
Q

how thick are liners and what do they promote

A

0.5mm thick and promote the health of the pulp by adhesion or antibacterial action

41
Q

what are liners used for

A

protect the pup

42
Q

what do liners form a strong bond with

A

dentin to prevent fluid movement down the dentinal tubules

43
Q

what do liners release

A

fluoride

44
Q

what is vitrebond

A

a liner/base
- light cure resin modified glass ionomer

45
Q

when can vitrebond be used

A

under composite, amalgam, metal and ceramic restorations

46
Q

when is vitrebond not indicated

A

for direct pulp capping

47
Q

when is vitrebond used as a base

A

if you are placing it in greater than 0.5 mm

48
Q

how much is vitrebond placed

A

in 0.5 mm increments up to 2 mm

49
Q

is vitrebond used more as a base or liner

A

a liner

50
Q

what is calcium hydroxide and what is its pH

A

a liner with a pH of 11-12.5

51
Q

what is the bactericidal activity of calcium hydroxide

A

retains its anti bacterial properties for about 2 months

52
Q

what is calcium hydroxide used for

A

direct and indirect pulp capping

53
Q

what does calcium hydroxide promote

A

formation of tertiary dentin

54
Q

what is Dycal and how is it cured

A

calcium hydroxide liner
- can be self curing or light cured

55
Q

what are varnishes

A

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

56
Q

what do varnishes do

A

has some antimicrobial and antiviral properties
- easily seeps into open dental tubules
-prevents transfer of heat and cold into the dentin and pulp

57
Q

what do we use instead of varnishes at UMKC

A

vitrebond

58
Q

when are varnishes not to be used and why

A

-under composite restorations because it interferes with the setting reaction
-under glass ionomers because it interferes with fluoride release

59
Q

what is copalite and what is it used for

a varnish used as an insultating layer under gold and amalgam restorations

60
Q

what do you use in a shallow tooth prep
