DENTAL COMPOSITES has (3) phases, what are those?
o Organic Resin Matrix
o Inorganic Fillers
o Coupling Agent
High Molecular Weight Resin
A. Organic Resin Matrix
B. Inorganic Fillers
C. Coupling Agent
A
Low Molecular Weight Resin
A. Organic Resin Matrix
B. Inorganic Fillers
C. Coupling Agent
A
Bisphenol A=glycidyl methacrylate (Bis-GMA)
High Molecular Weight Resin
Urethane dimethacrylate (UEDMA)
High Molecular Weight Resin
Low Molecular Weight Resin
Triethylene Glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA)
MONOMER
A. Organic Resin Matrix
B. Inorganic Fillers
C. Coupling Agent
A
makes the initial mixture fluid and moldable for placement into a cavity preparation
MONOMER
→ quartz
→ lithium aluminum silicate
→ barium aluminum silicate
→ barium, strontium, zinc glas
A. Organic Resin Matrix
B. Inorganic Fillers
C. Coupling Agent
B
colloidal silica
A. Organic Resin Matrix
B. Inorganic Fillers
C. Coupling Agent
B
SILICATE PARTICLES (FILLER)
A. Organic Resin Matrix
B. Inorganic Fillers
C. Coupling Agent
B
→ mechanical reinforcement of the mixture
SILICATE PARTICLES (FILLER)
→ produce light transmission and light scattering that add
enamel-like translucency to the mixture
SILICATE PARTICLES (FILLER)
T or f
EFFECTS OF FILLERS:
decrease in coefficient of thermal expansion
T
T or f
EFFECTS OF FILLERS:
→ decrease in polymerization shrinkage
→ increase in compressive strength
T or f
EFFECTS OF FILLERS:
decrease in water sorption
T
T or f
EFFECTS OF FILLERS:
→ improved aesthetics
→ radiopacity
T
Gamma-methacryloxy propyltrimethoxysilane
ORGANOSILANES
provides a good bond between the inorganic fillers and resin
matrix
ORGANOSILANES
silane has groups that reacts with inorganic filler and other
groups that reacts with the organic matrix
ORGANOSILANES
hydroquinone
POLYMERIZATION INHIBITOR
