Is cavity varnish placed over or under calcium hydroxide?

Cavity varnish is typically placed over calcium hydroxide when used together in a dental restoration. The calcium hydroxide acts as a base or liner to protect the tooth's pulp, while the cavity varnish is applied on top to seal the restoration and provide additional protection against bacteria and microleakage.


Why should I use Dycal to protect the pulp?

dycal is made of calcium hydroxide which helps regenerate the dentin & protects the pulp


Which cement is known for its ability to stimulate the formation of secondary dentin?

Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) is a type of cement known for its ability to stimulate the formation of secondary dentin. MTA has bioactive properties that can promote pulp healing and dentinogenesis when placed in direct contact with dental pulp tissue.


What are the uses of carbon hydroxide?

Carbon hydroxide does not exist as a stable compound in nature. It may refer to carbonic acid (H2CO3), which is important in regulating the pH of blood and maintaining the balance of carbon dioxide in the body. Alternatively, it may refer to a hypothetical compound.


What element is your bones and teeth made up of?

Various - but I guess you are after the mineral portion - thus Calcium Second Answer from an editor: Your bones are made of osteoclast which include calcium. Your teeth are made of dentin and that has calcium in it too. When you get cavities germs and bacteria can invade and erode the dentin and it is not replaceable as bones can regenerate new bone osteoclast cells. That is what causes bone fracture re-fusing. Too bad teeth cannot regenerate dentin.


What is the white substance that covers the dentin of the crown of a tooth?

The white substance that covers the dentin of the crown of a tooth is called enamel. Enamel is the hardest substance in the human body and serves to protect the underlying dentin and pulp from decay and damage. It is primarily composed of hydroxyapatite, a crystalline calcium phosphate, and is critical for the tooth's durability and function in chewing.

What types of bases and liners are used for anterior composites?

For anterior composites, commonly used bases and liners include glass ionomer cement, resin-modified glass ionomer, and calcium hydroxide. Glass ionomer provides excellent adhesion to tooth structure and releases fluoride, while resin-modified glass ionomer offers improved aesthetics and lower solubility. Calcium hydroxide is often used for its pulp-capping properties due to its ability to promote dentin regeneration. These materials help protect the pulp and provide a suitable foundation for composite restorations.


What is Mammoth Dentin?
