Q

Are thicker than liners
Act as a barrier against chemical irritation, provide thermal insulation, resist the condensation forces on a tooth when placing a restoration
Can be shaped and contoured after placement into the cavity prep
Are often used to build out to ideal in preparation for either the direct or indirect restorative material

Q

Q

Pins and posts do not strengthen teeth. True or False?

A

True. They only enhance the connection. Posts tend to fracture roots, so teeth will last longer if you don’t have them, and just because tooth might have already had endo and pulp isn’t vital doesn’t mean that you have to use a post.

Q

Difference between cast posts and fiber posts and restorable roots after fracture?

A

Casts post have double the fracture strength value, but when they fracture the root, the root is unrestorable ALWAYS, but with prefabricated fiber posts, only 60% of the fractured roots are unrestorable.

Q

Where does most of the stress of the post take place?

A

Most of the stress of the post is at the apex near the bottom and that is where a fracture will start, and the posts that were shorter transferred more stress to the apex of the post, so a longer post distributed the stress more easily along the entire length of the post.

  • Shear stress is usually directed at 135° degrees to long axis of tooth.
  • Increased post length decreased shear stress at apical end of post.

Q

What is the superior method of placement for most cements?

A

Lentulo spiral (but not with RelyX Unicem), the needle tube can also be used. And the most reliable results in fiber post cementation are obtained by etch and rinse adhesives, in combination with dual cure resin cements. Self adhesive cements have a lower bond strength than etch and rinse adhesives.

RelyX Unicem along with FujiCem is great for cementing crowns, you won’t have sensitivity as long as you don’t dry the tooth.
Even though FujiCem has the name Cem behind it, it is a resin modified glass ionomer so you can’t use it with a post, like you can this stuff, because it will expand
91
Q

What are the characteristics of esthetic resin cements?

A

Use with separate bonding agent
Tooth enamel is etched with phosphoric acid in preparation for bonding
Can be light cured or dual cured
Use light activation whenever possible - dual cured cements typically have increased flexural strength and bond strength when activated with a light
Wide variety of shades, including try-in pastes
Translucent shades may be sensitive to ambient light
Very strong bond, especially to enamel
Suitable for veneers, lithium disilicate (e.max), translucent zirconia crowns

92
Q

What is a catalyst?

A

Catalysts are used and mixed in when you might have a thicker prostheses and you can’t get a light cure all the way through, but catalysts will make a darker shade around the area, which isn’t ideal.

93
Q

What are some examples of esthetic resin cements?

RelyX ARC
Variolink II

94
Q

Steps to bond a veneer?

• AIR DRY
• APPLY SILANE TO INTAGLIO SURFACE OF VENEER
• AIR DRY
PHOSPHORIC ACID ETCH ENAMEL FOR 15 SECONDS
• THOROUGH RINSE
• AIR DRY (DO NOT DESICCATE!)
• APPLY 2 COATS OF GLUMA OR MICROPRIME (WAIT 60 SECONDS)
• AIR DRY (DO NOT DESICCATE!)
• MIX AND APPLY PHOTOBOND (DO NOT LIGHT-CURE YET!)
• AIR THIN
• APPLY BASE SHADE (Calibra) ONLY TO VENEER (NO CATALYST)

A

It can soften them

99
Q

What is a resin based temporary cement used for?

A

Good to use if temporizing for a long time. And cleans up nicely, especially from implants. -Kind of an intermediate, not as strong as a flowable, but stronger than these other cements, but one downside to this is that it does bond to a build-up made of resin. Improv is a polyurethane resin based temporary cement.
