Fundamentals of tooth preparation for resin composite (MI approach) Flashcards
anesthesia is a patient factor
what tooth cutting technology uses photo-ablation and what substrate does it affect?
lasers , they affect sound or carious dentin
photoactive disinfection , ozone: affects what substrate
bacteria
how are reversible pulpits symptoms treated?
definitive sealing by restoration –> allows dentine pulp complex to react and heal
restoring a cavity does what:
-protects pulp
-restores form , function , and appearance
- aid in plaque control (roughened/cavitated teeth may be difficult to clean)
-prevent caries
in MI approach , which tissues are removed from the tooth structure?
unrepairable diseased enamel and dentine only
what is meant by histological depth of lesion?
collagen and mineral content , how affected/infected the lesion is
Caries infected dentin appearance:
-wet
-soft
-often brown
is affected dentin an adequate pulp capping material?
better than any artificial restoration , should be kept except if esthetics is a concern
what is cavity support ?
the cavity property that prevents displacement/fracture dislodgment within the cavity
enamel margin bevel (short/long) is a cavity modification of which material?
resin composite / GIC
DENTINE CONDITIONER is a cavity modification for which restorative material?
GIC
