What is meant by the term ‘double seal’?
Method of sealing to use the advantages of materials & overcome the disadvantages of certain materials.
Why must all restorations be removed prior to endodontic treatment?
All restorations must be removed to eliminate causative factors, prevent bacterial penetration, allow assessment of further restorations, and evaluate long-term prognosis.
What does CW do in the context of double seal?
CW prevents filling from going into the canal and provides a base for Cavit to be placed.
What materials are commonly used for temporization?
Common materials for temporization include Ketac Fil for aesthetics, Ketac Silver for strength and moisture resistance, and various combinations of Cavit and other materials for temporary fillings.
How does eugenol from IRM affect bacterial penetration?
Eugenol released by progressive hydrolysis helps prevent bacterial penetration and reduce inflammation.
What is the purpose of using Cavit in endodontic treatments?
Cavit is used to prevent moisture penetration.
What is the purpose of using a stainless steel band in interim restorations?
The stainless steel band retains the temporary restoration, prevents fracture, serves as a base for rubber dam, provides a stable reference point for working length, and assists with aesthetics.
What is the absolute minimum duration for medicament application in endodontics?
The absolute minimum duration for medicament application is 2 weeks.
What is the typical approach during the first appointment of endodontic treatment?
The first appointment typically involves consultation, diagnosis, local anesthesia, rubber dam placement, removal of restorations/caries/cracks, assessment of endodontic treatment feasibility, and interim restoration.
What are the properties of Cavit?
Cavit has low strength and wear resistance, and high solubility, leading to rapid deterioration under load.
What are the main functions of temporization in endodontics?
The main functions of temporization are to prevent bacterial entry during and after treatment, provide a base for rubber dam placement, protect against tooth fracture during treatment, provide a stable reference point, and offer aesthetics.
What are the advantages of using IRM in endodontics?
IRM is stronger and prevents bacteria.
What are the options for filling access cavities during endodontic treatment?
Options for filling access cavities include using Cavit deep in post holes, GIC over exposed dentin, and temporary composite bridges bonded to roots and adjacent teeth.
