A device and method useful in the restoration of an abraded or broken tooth by the application to the stub, of a crown to replace the abraded or broken portions, the crown being secured to a prepared core. There is disclosed a "direct" method of preparing the core for the crown and a device to facilitate fabrication of the core and installation of the same in the mouth comprising simple, time-saving steps.
摘要:
Polyvinyl chloride and polyvinyl chloride containing up to 20 percent of a comonomer can be obtained in the form of small particle size spherical glassy surface particles by a process of bulk polymerization of monomer or monomers comprising two stage polymerization wherein high shear agitation is used during the first stage and low shear agitation is used in the second stage. To obtain a reduction in particle size, the polymerization in the first stage is conducted in contact with at least one of (A) an additive comprising an organic or inorganic, inert, fine particle size material solid at least at reaction temperatures, and insoluble in said monomer or monomers used, and (B) a cationic, anionic, or non-ionic surface active agent. A portion of the polymerization in a second stage reaction is conducted at temperature and pressure sufficient to render the surface of the individual particles or agglomerates glassy and fused. The resulting polymers and copolymers produced have superior plastisol viscosity stability and fusion characteristics and excellent powder flow properties as compared to those of the prior art.
摘要:
A method of sealing a tooth's root canal using cyanoacrylate solution. A tooth undergoing endodontic treatment must have the pulp tissue removed and the canal cleansed and shaped. It then receives a coating of a cyanoacrylate solution to its walls. When hardened, this solution seals the dentinal tubules lining the walls of the root canal and lateral canals, when present, thus preventing communication from the canal to the periodontal membrane. When the apical foramen remains small, it also may be sealed to prevent the passage of fluids and microorganisms to the adjacent area. Including a component which renders the cyanoacrylate solution opaque to X-rays will permit examination throughout the endodontic procedure. The sealing solution may include methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, isopropyl alpha, or normal-butyl cyanoacrylate of medical grade purity.
