IRM is composed of zinc oxide eugenol, which is reinforced.
Method of sealing to use the advantages of materials & overcome the disadvantages of certain materials.
All restorations must be removed to eliminate causative factors, prevent bacterial penetration, allow assessment of further restorations, and evaluate long-term prognosis.
CW prevents filling from going into the canal and provides a base for Cavit to be placed.
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.
Eugenol released by progressive hydrolysis helps prevent bacterial penetration and reduce inflammation.
Cavit is used to prevent moisture penetration.
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.
The absolute minimum duration for medicament application is 2 weeks.
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.
Cavit has low strength and wear resistance, and high solubility, leading to rapid deterioration under load.
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.
IRM is stronger and prevents bacteria.
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.
