Q

The newest variety of cements is “resin-modified glass ionomer” which provides high _______, low _____, and _____ release.

A

Strength
Solubility
Fluoride

19
Q

Compare the strength of Resin-Modified Glass Ionomer to that of other cements.

A
  • **stronger than: zinc phosphate, zinc polycarboxylate, and some glass ionomers
  • **weaker than composite resin
20
Q

Resin modified Glass Ionomer is ______ soluble than glass ionomer but has similar adhesion properties and fluoride release.

21
Q

BOARDS: On what kind of surface should cements be mixed?

A

On a thick, COOL, glass slab

22
Q

BOARDS: How should the glass slab, used for mixing cement, be cooled?

A

Run the slab under cold tap water for 15 minutes, then dry completely

23
Q

BOARDS: Why should the glass slab be cooled prior to mixing the cement?

A

The cool surface will increase the working time of the cement by slowing the exothermic chemical reaction

24
Q

What is the powder to liquid ratio for cements?

A

Powder: 1 inch diameter mound
Liquid: 8 drops per crown

25
What are the advantages and disadvantages to an increased powder to liquid ratio when preparing cement?
Advantages: Improved Strength, reduced solubility Disadvantage: Increased viscosity
26
Into how many increments should cement powder be divided?
8
27
What is the proper mixing technique for cement?
On a cool glass slab, divide the 1 inch mound of powder into 8 increments, drop 8 drops of liquid per crown onto the opposite end of the slab, incorporate one increment of powder into the liquid, mix for 10 seconds over a WIDE area of the glass, continue adding increments to the mix, evaluate cement thickness after half of the increments have been added
28
What is the proper cement thickness?
Raise the spatula 1 inch above the glass slab and evaluate over 1-2 second time lapse. Ensure that there is a Thin band that forms
29
What is the improper cement thickness?
Raise the spatula 1 inch about the glass slab and evaluate over 1-2 second time lapse. If a thick, wide band forms it is incorrect.
30
True or False: If the cement mix is too thick, continue adding drops of liquid until reaching the desired viscosity.
FALSE: if it is too thick, discard and begin again. Adding liquid to the mix would interfere with the setting reaction and weaken the cement
31
BOARDS: When the proper consistency of cement is reached, cover the _______ of the casting.
Axial Walls | *do not FILL the casting with cement*
32
BOARDS: True or False: When applying cement, the axial walls of the casting and the prepared tooth should be lightly coated.
False: NEVER COAT the prepared tooth!
33
______ a casting to seat has been shown to be ineffective and is liable to cause tooth fracture.
Malleting (forcing)
34
BOARDS: Should you etch a tooth before cementation?
No, you want to protect the prepared tooth from leaking chemicals into microtubules. May even want to use varnish on the prep
35
When seating a casting, place the casting on the prepared tooth and press firmly with your finger in the direction of _______.
The path of insertion
36
Utilize a _______ motion when seating a casting.
Rocking | buccal-lingual rock.... the roll mesial-distal
37
What should be done if the casting cannot be completely seated?
REMOVE IT IMMEDIATELY
38
If the cement has set sufficiently, but the casting is not properly aligned, how will the casting be removed?
The only way is to CUT it off and START OVER at your expense
39
What are some causes of incomplete seating?
1. Luting agent too thick 2. insufficient seating force 3. Binding occured between axial walls of the prep and casting
40
In a clinical setting, if the set time is 10 mins, firm pressure from biting on a cotton roll must be applied for ____mins. Moderate force is then needed for an additional ____mins.
4 | 6
41
Remove excess cement with a(n) _______ moving _____ to the margins.
Explorer | Parallel
42
When evaluating a cemented casting, there should be proper _____ ________, proper _________, and absence of ______.
Margin adaptation Contours Rocking-movement
