fluffs the collagen, making it easier for the resin to penetrate this layer, it contains acetone which chases away the water, and it seals the dentinal tubules

when would a direct pulp-capping procedure be appropriate
if the size of the pulp exposure is small (pin point)
describe the method of a direct pulp-capping procedure
CaOH is placed at the site of exposure to stimulate the formation of reparative dentin. glass ionomer is then placed over the calcium hydroxide to provide a good seal.
what is the most important predictor of success of a pulp being able to heal itself from a pulp exposure
the elimination of bacteria from the site of pulpal exposure
why is ZOE not able to be used for pulp-capping procedures

once outline form is established remaining caries is removed how
utilizing spoon excavators or large round burs (the largest round bur that can fit into the cavity )
threaded pins should be inserted to what depth in what tooth tissue
2 mm into dentin for each junction of 2 missing walls. specifically, it is placed at a distance halfway between the pulp and the DEJ in a direction that is parallel to the adjacent external contour of the tooth
retentive pins serve to reinforce the restoration T/F
false: they actually retain, not strengthen, large restorations placed in badly broken down teeth
what is/are the function(s) of the tofflemeyer band
provision of temporary wall of resistance to the pressure necessary for amalgam insertion, provision of shape and contour to the restoration, and maintenance of form during placement and set of the amalgam
what is the function of a wedge when used with a tofflemeyer band
adapts the matrix band to the gingival wall of the cavity prep and provides minimal separation of the teeth to compensate for matrix band thickness
what is the main function of a mylar strip when placing a composite resin
to serve as a protective barrier when placing and curing resin to prevent the cementation of adjacent teeth and to be used to help create the initial form of a composite restoration by adapting the strip to the contour of the remaining tooth
what is young's modulus of elasticity
refers tot he measure of the stiffness of a material. it is determined by the ratio of stress applied to a material versus deformation of the material caused by the stress
what is fortify
the surface finish that is used on posterior composites
what is C (configuration) factor
the ratio of the restoration's bonded surface area to unbonded area, or the ratio of the number of bonded walls to the number of unbonded walls
a greater C Factor indicates what
a greater internal stress within the restoration
Class 1 and box-shaped class 5 restorations have what C factor value
5
