1
Q

What are sealants?

A

polymer coating to protect the teeth from further decay

2
Q

What are the characteristic designs that allow for direct use?

A

light cured, flowable into pits

3
Q

What is recommended to use before sealants to prepare the enamel?

A

etch

4
Q

What is the major structural chemical used in sealant?

A

BidGMA-TEGDMA

5
Q

Does sealant use fillers?

A

No

6
Q

What type of bonding does the sealants have with the enamel?

A

mechanical

7
Q

Are sealants meant to last a long time?

A

no but etching helps to extend longevity

8
Q

What is macrotags?

A

larger interprism resin penetration

— looks like small notches in enamel

9
Q

What are microtags and what is their purpose?

A

smaller penetrations into the enamel that provide the major retention of the sealant

10
Q

How does oxygen inhibit sealants/polymerization?

A

interferes with radical polymerization via termination

thinner layer = bigger problem

11
Q

The an adhesive layer usually hydrophobic or hydrophilic?

A

Both in order to bond with enamel and dentin

12
Q

Do adhesive possess acid or basic groups that promote bonding

A

acidic

13
Q

Are adhesive filled or unfilled?

A

unfilled or lightly filled

14
Q

What two properties must flowable materials balance?

A

viscosity and mechanical properties

15
Q

How does the resin viscosity correlate with mechanical properties?

A

increase in mechanical properties = increase in viscosity

16
Q

How does increasing filler load affect the viscosity and mechanical properties?

A

increases viscosity and improves mechanical properties

17
Q

Where in the tooth-adhesive-composite model does adhesive failure occur?

A

above adhesive

18
Q

Where in the tooth-adhesive-composite model does cohesive failure occur?

A

in the middle of the adhesive layer

19
Q

Where in the tooth-adhesive-composite model does structural failure occur?

A

in the dentin

20
Q

What structures can interfere with adhesive bonding to tubular dentin?

A

The smear layer and plug

21
Q

What is the smear layer and plug composed of?

A

ground collagen and hydroxy-appetite

22
Q

How many steps are total-etch adhesives?

A

2-3

23
Q

How many steps are self-etch adhesives?

A

1-2

24
Q

How many steps are RMGI adhesives?

A

1

25
Q

What are the 4 traditional steps for dentin bonding?

A

etch, prime, adhesive, restoration

26
Q

Is the primer hydrophobic or hydrophilic?

A

hydrophilic

27
Q

Can glass-ionomers be a cement, base, and/or liner?

A

cement and base

28
Q

Can zinc oxide eugenol be a cement, base, and/or liner?

A

all 3

29
Q

Can calcium hydroxide be a cement, base, and/or liner?

A

liner and base

30
Q

What is characteristic of cements?

A

used to bind restoration of appliances to tooth structure

31
Q

What are the three types of cements?

A

water-based
resin based
oil based

32
Q

What are the curing mechanisms?

A

light cure
cold-cure for methacrylate
water cure for cements

33
Q

What is the general scheme of chemical or cold cure?

A

mix part A and B to initiate polymerization

34
Q

How does one control the balance between mechanical properties and viscosity?

A

more filler = high viscosity & modulus

more liquid = opposite and longer working/setting time

35
Q

What is the powder to liquid ratio?

A

2.7:1

36
Q

Do resin based cements use monomers that are high or low in MW?

A

Low

37
Q

What are resin based cements used for?

A

ortho, cermanic corwns/bridges, veneers, inlays

38
Q

What is 4-META modifier?

A

an additive to promote bonding in resin adhesives

39
Q

What is zinc phosphate used for?

A

crowns

40
Q

What is a liner?

A

realtively thin material used to protect dentin from residual reactants that diffuse out of the restoration/oral fluids that may penetrate leaky restorations

41
Q

Do liners have a high or low viscosity
