2. Adhesion Flashcards
Factors that influence adhesion (6)
- reactive groups
- surface tension
- surface energy
- wettability
- capillary action
- substrate
What are the reactive groups in tooth tissues?
- HAP
- Collagen
What are the reactive groups in HAP? (2)
(OH)-
Ca2+
What are the reactive groups in collagen? (3)
- COOH
- NH2
- CONH2
What are the reactive groups in adhesive?
Bis-GMA (CH2)
What are the reactive groups in composite resin? (3)
- Bis-GMA (CH2)
- CH3
- C-COO
What kind of adhesion do we get between tooth tissues and adhesive?
Micromechanical
- due to etch
What kind of adhesion do we get between composite resins and adhesive?
Chemical (long chain molecules)
What is surface energy?
Characteristic of the solid we want to adhere to
What kind of surface energy do we want for the tooth?
High surface energy to attract the liquid (adhesive)
What is surface tension?
- property of liquids
- force of internal molecules to pull from the external ones (forming drops)
- resistance of fluid to deform or break
What kind of surface tension do we want for adhesive?
low surface tension so it spreads more easily
What happens when theres high surface energy?
Forms drops
What is wettability?
Ability of a liquid to wet a solid
What does wetability depend on?
- surface energy
- surface tension
How is wettability measured?
by the angle formed between the tangent to the surface of a liquid and its adherent/adhesion surface
A bigger wetability angle means?
Less wetability
A smaller wettability angle means?
More /better wetability
Better wetability has ____ surface tension and _____ surface energy and ____ capillary action and ____adhesion
- Low surface tension
- High surface energy
- Good capillary action
- Good adhesion
What influences good capillary action?
- Low surface tension and high surface energy (=good wetability)
- viscosity
What is capillary action?
- Ability of the liquid to penetrate into thin tubules
- due to adhesive and cohesive forces between liquid and surface
Capillary action only occurs when…
adhesive forces are greater than cohesive forces
What surface energy does enamel have? why?
High SE
- a lot of inorganic matter (HAP)
- low water content & organic matter (almost no collagen)
What happens when enamel is treated with acid?
- Microporosites are created that act as tubules
- increase SE
What surface energy does dentin have? why?
Lower SE than enamel
- more organic content (collagen) and H20
- hydrophilic
Is dentin hydrophobic or hydrophillic?
Hydrophilic
Why is dentin a worse substrate for adhesion than enamel?
- large number of tubules that can act as capillaries - in dentinal fluid has pressure that affects resin penetration
- size and diameter of tubules decreases moving away from pulp chamber
- lower SE than enamel
- more organic content
What are resins (adhesives) propterties as a substrate?
- adhesive
- hydrophobic AND hydrophilic characteristic
What are the dental adhesive qualities ? (8)
- Good biocompatibility to dental tissue
- wetting capacity
- bond strength to dental tissues
- bond strength to restorative materials
- good mechanical behavior
- easy to handle
- durability
- good shelf life (few years)
What are the dental adhesive components? (8)
- Hydrophillic resins
- Hydrophobic resins
- Acidic resin
- Solvent
- Photoinitiators
- Catalyst
- Inorganic filler
- Radio-opacifiers
What are the hydrophillic resin components? (4)
- HEMA: hydroxy-ethyl-methacrylate
- TEGDMA: lower viscosity
- 4-META: 4 methacryloyl-oxy-ethy-trimellitate-anhydride
- PMDM: p-dimethylacrylate promellitic acid
What are the hydrophobic resin components? (2)
BIS-GMA
UDMA
What are the acidic resin components?
Self etching adhesives
pH: 1.5-2.5
What are the photo-initiator components?
Camphorquinone molecules - start polymerization by light
- not necessary if self-cured
What are the catalyst components?
TBB - tributylborane
*necessary for some reactions in certain adhesives
What are the inorganic filler components?
Microfilled glass (small amounts) or colloidal silica *nowadays nanoparticles
What are the radio-opacifier components? (2)
Bismuth oxide (prone to discoloration) or Barium sulphate
What does the concentration of camphorquinone affect?
aeshtetics of a restoration
- exceeding critical concentration = yellow discoloration
- unreacted molecules may return back to ground state
What is PPD?
1-phenyl-1, 2-propanedione
- to improve polymerization kinetics
- reduce yellowing effect of photointiator
- camphorquinone cant be removed completely but adding other co-photointiators helps avoid the problem
Adhesives can be classified by: (4)
- etching
- polymerization system
- generations
- steps
How are adhesives classified by etch?
Total vs Self vs Selective
How are adhesives classified by polymerization system? ?
- light
- self
- dual
What is self polymerizing adhesive?
Pure chemical reaction
- 2 bottles with benzoyl peroxide and tertiary amine
How are adhesives classified by generations?
