What is CNC?
Computer numerical control
26
What two CAD/CAM systems dont involve an in-office mill and instead require a laboratory?
Itero Lava chairside oral scanner
27
What two CAD/CAM systems involve an in-office mill (with still an option to mill by dental technicians)?
CERAC AC E4D Dentist
28
True or false... new ceramics are now preshaded and layered
True
29
What type of zirconia is formed in the sintering process?
Monoclinic or tetragonal. ...stopping short of cubic
30
What types of material can be milled with CAD/CAM systems?
Composites Feldspathic porcelain Leucite reinforced ceramic Lithium disilicate ceramic Zirconia
31
Why is it necessary to dust the preparation with titanium dioxide powders for some CAD/CAM systems?
They use video or static imaging methods that provide the best images when the preparation is void of specular reflection. The powder provides surfaces that are uniform in color and reflectance
32
Is the long term survival rate of CAD/CAM fabricated restorations similar to restorations fabricated by traditional methods?
Yes. 5 year survival rates of 92-95%
33
Are lava cos better at occlusion points than elastomeric impressions? What about mesial contacts, fit, clinical acceptance, and patient preference?
Yes to all
34
What are the three factors in selecting CAD/CAM ceramics? What is the strength range for materials Available for cadcam?
Strength (120-1200) Esthetics Patient factors
35
List the following from lowest to greatest translucency Lithium disilicate Resin ceramic Zirconia
Zirconia Lithium disilicate Resin ceramic
36
What are the two objectives of cementation or luting?
Help maintain restoration in place Maintain integrity of remaining tooth structure
37
Retention of the restoration is achieved by...
``` Friction Adhesive joint Cement Restoration Both mechanisms ```
38
An effective interfacial seal depends on the ability of the cement to _____ between the tooth and the restoration and resist the ______ short term and long term
# Fill the irregularities Oral environment
39
Strong bone between the outing and dental substrates is important because _____
It can prevent infiltration of bacteria and fluids that can cause caries and sensitivity to the patient
40
What are the two classifications of luting agents according to the length of time that they are expected to stay in function?
Provisional: low strength and easy handling, no irritate pulp. Definitive: remain in function for the longest time possible.
41
Give 3 example of a provisional luting agent
Zinc oxide Non-eugenol cements Calcium hydroxide pastes
42
What are the two types of Luting agents according to setting? Give examples
Acid based reaction: GI, RMG, zinc-oxide eugenol, zinc polycarboxylate, and zinc phosphate Polymerization: resin cement, composers, and self-adhesive cements
43
Name four materials that can have a chemical interaction with hydroxyapatite
Zinc polycarboxylate GI RMG Self-adhesive resin cements
44
About what percentage of all restorations placed in general dental practice are done to replace defective or failed restoration?
50%
45
What are the three reasons that restorations are replaced?
Clinician factors Material properties Patient factors
46
What is the dentin called that surrounds the dentin tubule?
Peritubular dentin
47
Describe the composition of dentin
50% mineralized apatite crystals 20% water 30% organic matrix (collagen)
48
True or false... the diameter and number of dentin tubules increase near the enamel
False.. it increases near the pulp
49
Name three characteristics of sclerotic and caries-affected dentin
Hypermineralized Tubules occluded with CaPO4 crystals Acid-resistant
50
What may happen to the collagen fibers in over-dried dentin?
They may collapse
51
What may occur to dentin due to the overwet phenomenon?
Water forms a "blister" over the dentin and prevents proper interaction with the primer (acid)
52
How thick is the smear layer of dentin?
0.5 - 2.0 micrometers thick
53
What is the smear layer composed of? Can it be directly removed by rinsing?
Bacteria Saliva Blood cells Denatured collagen No, it cannot be removed by rinsing
54
Define hybrid
"A thing made by combining two different elements; a mixture"
55
Describe the hybrid layer found in dental hard tissues
Due to demineralization of the surface and subsurface, followed by the infiltration of monomers and subsequent polymerization
56
Describe the composition of a primer used in dentin adhesion?
Hydrophilic monomer (HEMA) Water-soluble solvent (water, acetone, ethanol) (Note that hema becomes hydrophobic when it dries to allow bonding with the adhesive
57
Describe the composition of an adhesive used in dentin adhesion
Unfilled or lightly filled resin (Bis-GMA)
58
Describe the fourth generation adhesive strategy
Uses enchant to remove smear layer Uses primer Uses adhesive
59
Describe the fifth generation of adhesion
Uses etchant to remove smear layer Uses a combined primer and adhesive resin
60
Describe the 6th generation of adhesion?
Uses a self-etching primer that dissolves the smear layer Uses a separate adhesive
61
Which is more predictable, fourth or fifth generation? Why?
Fourth | The fifth generation is more susceptible to differences in wetness
62
What are some features of self-etching adhesives?
``` Significant difference in technique User friendly (no more etching) ``` Acidic monomer dissolves smear layer and primes dentin simultaneously One step or two step systems
63
True or false... self-etching adhesives result in higher bond strengths in deep dentin in comparison to 5th and fourth generation adhesives
True
64
Does self-etching adhesives bond best to cut enamel or uncut enamel?
Cut enamel
