Returning to smaller num file time to time before advancing
to a larger file.
•When the tooth structure is prepared with a
bur or instruments, residual organic and
inorganic components form a smear layerthat
is composed of hydroxyapatite and denatured
collagen.
•When primer and bonding agent are applied
on the etched dentin they form resin-dentin
interdiffusion zone called hybrid layer.

•Should have a continuous tapering, conical shape,
with the narrowest cross-sectional diameter apically
and the widest diameter coronally.
• The walls should taper evenly towards the apex and
should be confluent with the access cavity.
• To give the prepared root canal the "quality of flow;'
i.e, a shape that permits plasticized gutta-percha to
flow against the walls without impedance.
• Should keep the apical foramen as small as
practical.
• Should clean and shape the canal without
transporting the apical foramen.
•Iodoform paste
–(zinc oxide and iodoform mixture)
–bactericidal and nonirritant
•ZnO Eugenol paste (without catalyst)
why catalyst not used… > to increase working
time……..
•Material should be resorbable, nonirritant and
radioopaque.
•Why GP not used? –Not degraded
•Abutment for space maintainer
•Bruxism
•Caries involving 3 or more surfaces
•Developmental defects like Dentinogenesis
imperfecta and enamel hypoplasia
•Extensive caries in class 2 involving cusps
•Following pulp therapy to avoid fracture of

•Handicapped children
•Stain less steel crowns

•The process of inducing the development of
root and apex closure in an immature
permanent tooth with open apex.
•Calcific Root-End closure.
•Types:
1.Multiple Step(CaOH)
2.Single Step (MTA)
•Physiological process
•Formation of apex in vital young permanent
toothwith appropriate vital pulp therapy
•MAINTAIN PULP VITALITY
•Includes :
1-Direct pulp capping
2-Indirect pulp capping
3-Pulpotomy/Partial Pulpotomy
•Since gallium amalgam expands after trituration, it
provides better marginal seal than silver amalgam….
•Setting time is less than silver mercury amalgam,
therefore can be finished and polished after one hour..
•Most of the physical and mechanical properties of
gallium alloy are similar to high copper mercury
amalgam.
So better marginal seal, less setting time and same
mechanical properties………
•A ferrule, is defined as a circumferential area
of axial dentin superior to preparation bevel
should have a height of 1.5mm to 2.5mm
•Leave the tooth in place
•Clean with saline and chlorohexidiene
•Suture the lacerated gingiva
•Determine position of the tooth both clinically and
radiographically.
•Apply a flexible splint for 2 weeks
•Antibiotics adminstration for 7 days
•Initiate root canal in transplanted tooth after 10 days with
closed apex
•Open apex in growing children can be waited for pulp
revasculrization and in adult cases open apex closed with
MTA
•Apply local anesthesia
•Rinse the area with saline or chlorohexidine
•Reposition the tooth using digital pressure or
forcep.
•Reposition the displaced bone both facially
and lingually
•Suture the gingiva if lacerated
•Splint with wire or acrylic for 4 months.
•BV Rupture → Blood into Dentin →
Breakdown of blood (Hemin, Hematin,
Hemosiderin) → Pinkish brown discoloration
•Concentration: 5% NaF
•When to apply?
•Radiographic Apex :Apex of tooth determined
radiographically
•Anatomic Apex: apex of tooth determined
morphologically. At the CDJ.
•Difference can be 1.5 –3 mm because of
cementumdeposition with age.
•From a Coronal refrence point to the point
where cleaning and shaping or obturation
ends
•Refrence point:
–Anteriors → Incisal Edge
–Anteriors with broken edges → Smoothen the edge
–Posteriors → Cusp Tip

Conventional tooth prep:
•Specific walls, floor, angulation.
•Amalgum
Modified:
•Does not require specific wall forms, angulation, Walls and floor
•Composite
Shape and form of cavity is such that it prevents the
displacement or removal of restoration by tipping and
lifting forces
Occlusalcovergence
Adhesive systems
Beveling/flaring cavity margin for composite
“Shape and placement of preparation walls and cavity is
such that it enables to tooth structure AND THE
RESTORATION to withstand the forces of mastication
without getting fractured”
Box like cavity
Flat floor
Rounded line angles
Adequate thickness of material
Preservation of cusps and marginal ridges
Reduction of cusp for capping
