8/26: Lecture 2 - Adhesives and Bonding Flashcards
What is the purpose of beveling?
reduce microleakage at cervical and ascending walls in class 2
What does beveling expose?
ENDS of enamel rods = reveals prismatic enamel = etches better
What is the purpose of bevelling for axiopulpal?
Resistance by distributing stress
Where do you bevel?
in ENAMEL, NOT in deep preps where a bevel would remove all enamel or where gingival floor is on cementum/dentin
When should you NOT bevel?
in class 3 if heavy centric contact to margin
Where is a flare in a class 2 composite prep?
- Buccal flared > 100
- Lingual Flared > 90
Buccal contact can remain in many cases
Slight flare occlusal of prep
Where is a flare in a class 2 amalgam prep?
both exit angles are 90 degrees (need S curve on buccal to achieve)
- NEED to break buccal contact
Should you have a gingival bevel for amalgam?
NO
Where is a flare in a class 3 composite prep?
- Internal Labial flare
- Gingival flare to exit at 90 degrees
- Labial wall flare of 100 degrees at cavosurface = exposes ends of enamel rods
What is the purpose of etch?
Increases surface wetting by increasing surface area available for bonding
What is surface wetting?
ability of liquid to maintain intermolecular contact with a solid surface
Etching
__________ free energy to _______ the surface tension of bonding material
raises; exceed
What spaces does etching produce?
Spaces where bond agent resin can penetrate and form resin tags
What layer does etching remove?
Smear layer
What is a smear layer?
Mixture of tooth debris, saliva, blood cells, bacteria and does NOT accept bond well
How do you use etch?
Place for 15 seconds, rinse for 10
What is primer?
hydrophilic (allows for binding to moist dentin and wetting of surface) monomers (like ethanol/water, acetone) to draw bond agent in
Is bond hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
Hydrophobic
What kind of binding does bond use?
micro-mechanical binding to interlock into surface irregularities
How does bond bind to enamel?
interlocking with enamel rods
How does bond bind to dentin?
interlocking with dentin collagen, which depends on MMPs
What is bond more predictable with?
Predictable with enamel (especially incisal and middle 3rd) but less with dentin as the bond strengths vary due to heterogeneity (very organic)
What system is etch separate frmo bond agent?
Etch and rinse (total etch)
What are the types of etch and rinse systems?
Primer and bond can be separate (3 step) or together (2 step)
What are pros of the etch and rinse system?
larger hybrid layer, adhesive can penetrate further, more predictable, stronger bond because enamel is adequately prepared
