Why are liners and bases not fully distinguishable in all cases?
Why are liners and bases not fully distinguishable in all cases?
- Because their application techniques are interchangeable
- Because they share similar objectives (correct)
- Because they are always used together
- Because they have identical compositions
What are the characteristics of liners?
What are the characteristics of liners?
- Relatively thin layers providing a barrier to protect dentin and contribute initial electrical insulation (correct)
- Highly porous layers allowing easy fluid penetration and thermal conduction
- Thick layers providing direct pulp capping and mechanical reinforcement
- Transparent layers allowing visibility of underlying structures and enhancing aesthetics
