Recall Questions Chapter 44 Dental Liners, Bases, and Bonding Systems
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| What is the function of a dental liner? | protects the pupal tissue from irritation caused by physical, mechanical, chemical, and biologic elements. |
| Within the cavity preparation, where is a liner placed? | The liner is placed in the deepest dentin surface of the preparation. |
| What are the unique qualities of calcium hydroxide? | protects pulp from chemical irritation, stimulates the production of reparative or secondary dentin, it is compatible with all types of restorative materials. |
| What is the main ingredient in varnish? | resin |
| Can varnish be placed under all restorative materials? If not, with which materials is it contraindicated? | NO, because dental varnish interferes with the bonding and setting reaction of composite resins |
| What toxic element is in a desensitizer? | hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and glutaraldehyde |
| What does a desensitizer do? | seal the dentinal tubules, this preventing oral fluids, from seeping between the tooth and the restoration, which eventually cause sensitivity. |
| What does an insulating base provide for the restoration of a tooth? | to protect the tooth from thermal shock. It occurs when sudden temperature changes occur. |
| What base material contains eugenol? What effect does eugenol have on the pulp? | Zinc-Oxide-Eugenol (ZOE). has a soothing effect on painful irritated pulp. However ZOE cannot be used under composite resins, glass ionomer or other resin restorations. |
| Where is a base applied in the preparation? | the entire plural floor is covered with a base to thickness of 1 to 2mm. the base material has a putty like consistency and provides a buffer or layer between the pulp and the restoration |
| What dental instrument is used to adapt a base into the cavity preparation? | A dental condenser |
| What is the purpose of a dental bonding material? | to improve the retention, to repair and enhance teeth |
| What is an example of enamel bonding? | sealants, bonding orthodontic brackets and resin bonded bridges |
| What must be removed from the tooth structure for bonding material to adhere to dentin? | smear layer |
| Which material is applied first—the bonding or etchant material? | etchant |
