Ideal Class II preps Flashcards
Check gingival DEJ
often decaying
Hand tools and round bur
Only used in dentin, no other tools here (maybe spoon).
Outline form and initial depth
Outline: placing the cavity margins in the position that they will occupy in the final prep.
Initial depth - 0.2 to 0.8 mm pulpally from the DEJ usually 0.5mm
Resistance form
That shpae and placement of the cavity walls that best enable both the restoration and the tooth to withstand without fracture the forces on the long axis of the tooth
Formative
1 and 2 dentin
Defensive
Reparative dentin
Nutritive
supplies vital cells
Sensory
protective (pain response)
Functions of dentin/pulp complex
Formative, defensive, nutritive, sensory
Hydrodynamic theory
Micro-movements of tubule fluids. Osmolarity changes, thermal changes, desiccation, pressure changes, high-speed cutting
Changes here cause pain.
Irreversible pulpitis
hot tooth
Pulp pain is usually
sharp
Pulp status test
Cold hot test (pain or no pain, duration).
Electric pulp test
+, - (pain or no pain), value 1-80
Percussion test (perio ligament)
+ or - (pain/no pain)
Liners and bases
Protect pulp and minimize post-op sensitivity.
- act as thermal and chemical barrier
- electrical barrier
- mechanical barrier
- controls inflammation of the pulp
- controls fluid movement
Many of our restorative materials do not have a positive pulpal response
Liner
thin layers of material used to provide a barrier to protect dentin from residual reactants diffusing out of the restoration or from oral fluids that penetrate leaky tooth interfaces. Also have electrical insulation, generate some thermal protection, some formulas provide pulpal treatment
Solution liners
2-5microm - copal varnish, adhesives
Suspension liners
20-25 microm. Liner based on water and have suspended constituents instead of dissolved. CaOH2 (dycal)
Cement liners
200-1000 microm
Eugenol liners
ZOE and B&T
Dentin bonding systems/sealers
Optibond solo plus/gluma
Minimal caries
if RDS (remaining dental thickness) is greater than 2mm
Copal varnish
10 copal resin in acetone (2-5 microm). 1 layer = 55% selaed, 2 layers = 85% sealed.
