Q

What are the basic properties/features of direct restorations

A
  • Plastic

  • Various physical properties
  • Complex restorations
22
Q

AY BAWS CAN I HABE DE NOTE PLZ

A

Made in lab and cemented/luted chairside

23
Q

Why do you want rounded internal line angles for all restorative materials

A

Reduces internal stresses and risk of crack propagation within restoration

24
Q

What cavity mods are ideal for amalgam restorations

A
  • Cavity undercuts
  • Grooves
  • Slots
  • Flat surfaces
25
Q

What do undercuts, grooves/slots and flat surfaces allow in amalgam restorations

A

Undercuts = give retention
Grooves/slots = Prevent further displacement
Flat surface = improves resistance

26
Q

What cavity modifications are ideal for composite/GICs

A

Enamel margin bevel

27
Q

What does the enamel margin bevel allow for in composite/GICs restorations

A
  • Removes unsupported enamel
  • Increases surface for bond/seal
  • Sound enamel for optimised bonding
28
Q

What micro cavity mod is ideal for composite restorations

A

Enamel acid etch

29
Q

what does the enamel acid etch do for composite restorations

A
  • Removes the smear layer

- Selectively demineralises prisms giving micro-mechanical retention

30
Q

What micro cavity mods are ideal for GIC restorations

A

Dentine conditioner

31
Q

What does dentine conditioner allow for GIC restorations

A
  • Removes smear layer

- Prepares surface for Ca2+ chemical adhesion

32
Q

Name some of the basic properties of an amalgam restoration

A
  • High strength (2mm+)
  • Electrochemical corrosion = nice marginal seal
  • High elastic modulus
  • Dimensionally stable
  • No inherent bonding to tooth substrate
33
Q

What angle should the cavo-surface angle be for an ideal amalgam restoration

A

about 90 degrees

34
Q

What are some examples of auxillary retention cavity mods for amalgam and dat when there aren’t alot of cusps left to form the undercuts and all

A
  • Slots
  • Grooves
  • Coves
  • Locks
35
Q

AY BAWS CAN I HABE DE NOTE PLZ

A

The amalgam slots need to be undercut as well to provide retention as well as resistance

36
Q

Do coves offer resistance and/or retention

A

Offers both in almost all directions

37
Q

What are locks

A

grooves cut in a vertical direction

38
Q

Name some basic properties/characteristics of composite restorations

A
  • Good aesthetics
  • Bonds to dental substrates
  • More conservative tooth preparation
  • No corrosion
  • Slightly less durable than amalgam
  • Lower modulus of elasticity

A
  • Removes unsupported enamel
  • Increases surface area
  • Aesthetics
42
Q

What does etching do to the enamel in composite cavity mods

A

Selectively demineralising some enamel prisms that creates a very rough microscopic surface that allow the composite to bond better

43
Q

What is a hybrid layer of dentine in the composite cavity mods and how is it made

A
  • Demineralised resin-impregnated dentine
  • Etching removes smear layer
  • Demineralises intertubular dentine, exposing collagen
  • Demineralises intratubular dentine
  • Allows resin to flow into the tubules
44
Q

Is the composite-dentine or the composite-enamel layer stronger

A

Composite-enamel is deffo stronger but the dentine one is still strong

  • Bonding
46
Q

So describe the process of acid etching in composite cavity mods

A
  • Phosphoric acid (37%)
  • Demineralises prisms and = rough surface in enamel
  • Removes smear layer in dentine and demineralises intertubular dentine and makes collagen scaffold
  • Micromechanical mods
47
Q

Describe the process of priming

A
  • EDTA/Acid based
  • Further conditions dentine
  • Optimises surface for bonding
48
Q

What are some of the properties of GICs as a restorative material

51
Q

Describe how GICs adhere to a tooth

A
  • Ions exchanged between tooth minerals and cement
  • On mixing, free polyalkenoic acid penetrates enamel/dentine
