Observations on cavity liners for composite resin restorations.

Adhesion or surface roughness and discoloration at the interface between pulpinsulating materials and composite resins were taken as indications for interaction between the resins and the insulating materials. Some interaction occurred between all insulating materials and resins investigated. After separation of the restorative resins, the interaction of Dycal with the different composite resins varied considerably and decreased in the following sequence: Opotow, Natural, and Adaptic. The interactions of ZOE with Natural and with Adaptic were similar and more pronounced than the interaction at the Adaptic-Dycal interface but less pronounced than at the Dycal-Natural interface. A very thin film of Tubulitec was found to adhere to the composite resins in some areas. The adherence of liners containing calcium hydroxide to dentin was found to be generally stronger than the bond between these liners and composite resins. Separation of the composite resins caused tears in the varnishes and frequently in Hydroxyline. Almost completely intact layers of the varnish Copalite were observed on dentin, but Zahnlack apparently dissolved to a great extent in the resins. Among the liners containing calcium hydroxide, Dycal and Tubulitec were found to give rise to a high pH in samples of saliva, but Hydroxyline did not. Porosity and a folded surface were observed for Hydroxyline, indicating the entrapment of the solvent beneath a dry superficial layer.

Mouth-operated devices for handicapped persons.

A mouth-operated device designed for paralyzed persons was described. This device enables invalid persons to perform simple, everyday actions. The uses and advantages of the instrument as compared to other types were discussed.
