Week 3 Class I and V Restorations Flashcards
(123 cards)
what are the type of liners in placing an occlusal restoration
-calcium hydroxide
- glass ionomer
which liner releases fluoride over time
glass ionomer
how do you use calcium hydroxide liners
-mix with spatula end of dycal instrument
- use dycal instrument to place over area of nearest pulp
- often cover with RMGI
how do you use resin modified glass ionomer liner/ base
-mix with spatula end of dycal instrument
- use dycal instrument to place over area nearest pulp
- often used to cover calcium hydroxide
-light cured
what is the difference between a liner and a base
a liner is placed in a thin layer over dentin
a base is placed in thicker layer on floor of prepared cavity
what are the steps in placing an occlusal restoration
- place liner and/or base if needed
- seal dentinal tubules
when would you need to use a base
deep caries
when would you seal dentinal tubules
preps that would be especially prone to sensitivity
what are the types of desensitizers
- copal resin
- bonding agents
- gluteraldehyde (gluma)
what are the advantages and disadvantages of copal resin
advatages: inexpensive, quick to use
disadvantages: leaves a film thickness
what are the advantages and disadvantages to unfilled dentin bond agent
advantage: intermediate in cost
disadvantage: some required more than one step; involves some form of etching with an acid which may leave teeth more vulnerable to recurrent caries, leaves a film thickness
what are advantages and disadvantages to gluma
advantages: no film thickness, one step to apply
disadvantages: expensive, somewhat caustic to soft tissues and possibly to the pulp in deep preparations
how do you apply each desensitizer
-copal resin: wipe cavity walls with cotton pellet soaked in resin, then gently air dry
-dentin bonded resins: press resin into dentin using brush, gently air dry, light cure
- gluma: apply to walls for 30 seconds, dry, rinse, dry again. material is caustic; minimize contact with gingivae and protect pulp with liner/base in deep preps prior to application
why do we not use dentin desensitizers under amalgam
it makes negligible difference in tooth sensitivity because smear layer will seal most dentinal tubules and amalgam will seal itself with an oxide layer
what are the steps in placing an occlusal amalgam restoration
-place amalgam
-condense amalgam
- pre carve burnish
-carve anatomy
- refine restoration
what technique and instruments do yo uuse in condensing amalgam
- small condenser to pack firmly into all line angles at a 45 degree angle, using a pressing, wiggling motion in a step wise fashion
how much should you overfill the amalgam prep
1 mm
how do you do pre carve burnishing
-using side of the nib of the condensor or ball burnisher.
-burnish towards the margins to eliminate voids and to bring excess mercry to the surface where it can be carved away
- begin to define grooves
what tools do you use to carve anatomy into amalgam
-hollenback carver perpendicular to margins
-tip of the carver to recreate groove anatomy
how do you check and refine occlusion in amalgam restoration
-use articulating paper
-use discoid carver to remove high occlusion marks and inclined plane contacts
what should you try to preserve in amalgam restoration
- preserve cusp seats in the bottoms of fossae
what tools do you use to smooth the surfacr
-beavertail burnisher
- cotton pellet to leave matte finish
does carved amalgam gain longevity from the finishing process
no
how long do you have to wait to finish/polish amalgam restoration
24 hours after placement for amalgam to be set up
