Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / December 2005which BA under amalgams?
Hi all, I recently bought a bottle of g-bond, but as I'm not doing many composites it's mostly wasted. I've begun thinking of using it to seal my amalgam preps before placement of the "dreaded mercury stuff". It's been months since I last used dycal or another liner or base, cause I stopped believing in them (it takes time for the dental school brainwash to wash off), and I was mostly putting gluma under my amalgams. I don't think the manufacturer even mentioning amalgam in the instructions, but I'm not looking for it to bond to amalgam, just to seal the tubules so that I won't get any sensitivity (hopefully). Sounds good to you? If not, which self-etch BA do YOU use with amalgam (it's got to be self-etch because I don't want to wait for years). Cheers, George have you hear about resin based adhesive systems? It`s outrageus the ignorance about dentino pulpar protection in this forum. If you mean something like amalgambond or relyx, sorry I can't afford it. What exactly do you mean dentino pulpal protection? Last I heard, american faculties were teaching their students to line amalgams with allbond. Bases were limited only in cases where support was deemed crucial. >If you mean something like amalgambond or relyx, sorry I can't afford >it. What exactly do you mean dentino pulpal protection?

If the proposed amalgam restoration requires a base for support, it is my position that the tooth in question should have a crown. -- Whamatus Take out the G'RBAGE wubbabubbazG@RBAGEyahoo.com It's always nice to see arrogant pot shots. Maybe you would like to share some of your infinite wisdom. Dartos > have you hear about resin based adhesive systems? It`s outrageus the > ignorance about dentino pulpar protection in this forum. Dycal is not a good pulp protector if you have a stress pulp it can't take tu irreversible pulpitis, use glass ionomer like base and sobe tube sealer like single bond or any adhsive I don't like dycal as well and I only use it occassionally for direct pulp caps. Sealing would be the number 1 priority under any restoration IMHO. Out of curiosity, why do you do the GI base if you've already sealed? Is it something you do in every case, or only when you want to get mechanical support? George I use GI to protect the pulp if we are going to use amalgam you must protect the pulp from electric, termal and mecanic action. If you have a good reamin of dentin you dont need to use a GI only a tube sealer George Chatzipetros escribió: > I don't like dycal as well and I only use it occassionally for direct > pulp caps.

I recently read the restorative handbook distributed to students in the Washington dental school. It says that bases are to be used only for mechanical support as the current thinking is that they don't provide valuable insulation, and they seal the dentin with allbond to provide insulation. Sounds right to me, like the saying "amalgam on a thick base is like a sheet of glass over a trampoline". George And, amalgam over a thin base is like a sheet of glass over a piece of carpet padding.  Signature. Amatus . > Exactly my thoughts, thanks.

I saw on the TV how cold it was in Arizona , I don't know how you take it. >>And, amalgam over a thin base is like a sheet of glass over a piece of >>carpet padding.

I could never think of it as cold. Watched too many bad westerns? That would be George W_B alright. With his cowboy boots, ten gallon hat and his spurs a jingling as he walks. He is the only person I know of who dresses that way in Rhode Island.
