36 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
gutta percha:
alpha vs beta
-beta is commercial form
-alpha is heated, pliable form
if tug back is not short (quick)

if cone is scrunched (2)
-cone is binding higher up

-ledge, or lost patency
Thermafil Technique:
def
adv (3)
disadv (3)
-plastic center ("carrier") w/ alpha phase gutta percha surrounding. Hydraulic pressure
-gp gets pushed forward, excellent length control, no cone fit required
-expensive, apex might seal w/ plastic not gp, retx VERY difficult
microseal technique:
def (2)
-injected alpha phase gp delivered on beta gp
-acts like centrifuge, flinging alpha gp onto sides of canals
MTA:
def
adv
uses (3)
disadv (2)
-portland cement (concrete)
-promotes cementum regrowth
-exposures, apexification, trauma
-cannot be removed, must pack densely
Failures:
heat sensitive

j-shaped lesion
-missed canal, vertical root fracture

-vertical root fracture
limitations of lateral condensation
-gp entraps pools of sealer
-gp concentrates more in middle and coronal 1/3s

-anterior damage (bone, crown, or root)
-root fractures/displacements
-coronal fractures
Trauma:
external exam
-opening and symmetry (condylar/mand fracture
-soft tissue: lacerations. palpate
-hard tissue: # of teeth, malpositioning, occlusal plane, mobility, fractures, transillumination
trauma:
pulp tests (4)
-use as baseline only
-beware of false neg's
-retest at 30, 90, 180 days
-laser dopler flowmetry
trauma:
radiographs (3)
for soft tissue rgs
-diff angles
-apical closure
-re-eval in 6 weeks, months, annually
-decrease kvp
Trauma:
instructions to pt (4)
-2 weeks soft diet
-soft toothbruch after EACH meal
-CHX 0.12% BID
-diligent recall
infraction
-no tx or possible bonding agent; in enamel only
uncomplicated fracture (4)
-in enamel and dentin
-seal tubules w/ comp and base
-3mo, 6mo, yearly recall

wait, why
place
wait
moniter w/
-immature tooth w/ open apices and thin walls
-low strenght NaOCl
-light filling (b/c thin walls)
-creamy Ca(OH)2 w/ lentulospiral
-1 week, make sure is not inflammed
-pure Ca(OH)2 w/ plugger and backfill canal
-6-18mo
