Restorative 2 Flashcards
(114 cards)
what is an impression?
negative imprint of an oral structure used to make a positive replica
what are the components of alginate?
irriversible hydrocolloid carbonated polysaccharide based on alginic acid - gels by cross linking of calcium ions sodium alginate calcium phopshate sodium phosphate - retarder fillers - zinc carbonate pH indicators
what is the working time of alginate?
gelation ideal time of 3-4 mins
spatulation of 1 min
working time - 30 secs
what should an impression tray cover?
retromolar area of mandible
maxillary tuberosity
anterior - clears most protruded incisor
how do you seat a lower impression?
pt should lift tongue
how do you seat an upper impression?
seat post before ant
how do you disinfect an impression?
sodium hypochlorite 5-10 mins
10- tabs/litre for 2 mins
what is a wax bite?
interocclusal record
registration of normal positional relationship of arches
what is gate control theory?>
melzack and wall 1965
pain is modulated at the spinal cord and influenced by physiological and psychological and socoiocultural factors
what is the adults pain index?
childrens?
mcgill
wong and baker
what are other forms of pain and anxiety control?
hypnosis
acupuncture
electric analegsia
what is the aim of analgesia?
elimination of pain
haemostasis
how is haemostasis achieved by anaesthetic?
vasoconstrictor
tissue blanching - local ischaemia, prolonged activity, reduced toxicity
how do the nodes of the ranvier take part in anaesthesia?
ionic exchange of pain impulses
analgesic solution gains access here and blocks nerve conduction
what causes pain?
inflammation trauma necrosis ischaemia K, Na, Cl, Ca
what are the stages of polarisation?
1 - polarisation - no pain, potassium in cytoplasm, na outside
2 - depolarisation - ionic exchange, destruction of polarity, sodium outside
3 - action potential - change in membrane potential permeability, transference of ions
4 - repolarisation - sodium potassium pump, reverts ion to polarised state
what are the contents of LA?
vasoconstrictor - prolongs anaesthetic time
reducing agent - prevents oxidation of vasoconstrictor, competes with adrenaline for oxygen
preservative - poss allergic reaction
fungicide - thymol
carrier solution - modified ringers lactate solution adjusted for biocompatible pH
what is lidocaine?
dissolved in solution as HCL salt
2% solution
what is prilocaine?
3% octapressin
4% plain
less effective at haemorrhage control but only slightly vasoconstrictive
what is mepivicaine?
2% 1:100000 ep
3% plain
what is articaine?
more quickly metabolised good for repeat injections with ep
what does epinephrine give?
more profound anaesthesia, longer lasting
what to be careful with giving LA to someone with liver disease?
risk of toxicity
bc impaired metabolism
what to be careful with giving someone with cardiac disease?
impact on epinephrine use
arrhythmias/unstable angina
