2. Luting agent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luting_agent

   Zinc polycarboxylate is adherent to tooth structure such as enamel and dentine, but has weak or no bond with gold and porcelain. This presents limited use when it comes to luting gold or porcelain crowns. However, zinc polycarboxylate bonds to non-precious metal alloys that have been increasingly used in porcelain fused to metal (PFM) crowns. [23]

3. Dental restoration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_restoration

   Full-porcelain dental materials include dental porcelain (porcelain meaning a high-firing-temperature ceramic), other ceramics, sintered-glass materials, and glass-ceramics as indirect fillings and crowns or metal-free "jacket crowns". They are also used as inlays, onlays, and aesthetic veneers. A veneer is a very thin shell of porcelain that ...

4. Glass ionomer cement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_ionomer_cement

   For example, the addition of metal or resin particles into the sealant is favoured due to the longer working time and the material being less sensitive to moisture during setting. [ 8 ] When glass ionomer cements were first used, they were mainly used for the restoration of abrasion/erosion lesions and as a luting agent for crown and bridge ...

5. Crown (dental restoration) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_(dental_restoration)

   In dentistry, a crown or a dental cap is a type of dental restoration that completely caps or encircles a tooth or dental implant. A crown may be needed when a large dental cavity threatens the health of a tooth. Some dentists will also finish root canal treatment by covering the exposed tooth with a crown.

6. Tooth decay - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_decay

   For children, preformed crowns are available to place over the tooth. These are usually made of metal (usually stainless steel but increasingly there are aesthetic materials). Traditionally teeth are shaved down to make room for the crown but, more recently, stainless steel crowns have been used to seal decay into the tooth and stop it progressing.

7. Dental cement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_cement

   The many uses of this cement include permanent cementation of crowns, orthodontic appliances, intraoral splints, inlays, post systems, and fixed partial dentures. Zinc phosphate exhibits a very high compressive strength, average tensile strength and appropriate film thickness when applies according to manufacturer guidelines.

8. Cold-stimulus headache - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold-stimulus_headache

   [4] [5] The rate of intake for cold foods has been studied as a contributing factor. [1] [6] It can also occur during a sudden exposure of the unprotected head to cold temperatures, such as by diving into cold water. [7] A cold-stimulus headache is distinct from dentin hypersensitivity, a type of dental pain that can occur under similar ...

9. Dental pulp test - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_pulp_test

   Sensitivity tests assess the sensory response of a tooth to an external stimulus, results which may be extrapolated to indirectly determine pulpal health status. Sensory stimuli, such as heat, cold or an electrical current, are applied to the tooth in question in order to stimulate the nocireceptors within the pulp. The type of sensory fibres ...
