LOs
COMPOSITE RESTORATIVE MATERIALS
EGs of where composite restorative materials are used?
1
what are dental composites made from/ how many materials
2
what happens to the characteristics of the constituent materials on combining them
1
- 2 or more constituent materials
- that are not miscible and have
significantly different physical
or chemical properties
2
- On combining the two, the
resultant material has
characteristics different from
the individual components
- usu have better properties than individual components
COMPOSITE RESTORATIVE MATERIALS
Indications + contraindications?
1
reasons why composite is so widely used in restorative dent?
2 - EXTRA INFO
recommended types of resin composite for:
- Class 1&2
- Class 3&4
- cervical lesions
DENTAL COMPOSITES
Major + minor constituents
resin phase of dental composites
1
what do they consist of?

commonly used monomers in dental composites
- structure
- consistency (hard to mix with filler particles?)

3

FILLER PARTICLES IN DENTAL COMPOSITES
1
Usu made from?
2
How do the filler particles influence the properties of the composite
3
What size filler particles are usu used in composites
4
Advantages/ benefit of using filler particles in composites (IMAGE)
- major constituent of dental composites
1
- quartz
- fusillica
- other glasses such as aluminosilicates or borosilicates
2
- type, conc + size of filler + particle size distribution all help determine the properties of the composite
3
- usu use smaller filler particles in dent composites to improve properties of composite
- modern composites are all hybrid composites - blend of diff sized filler particles
- can range from 5-10 microns and are blended with sub-micron particles
- this blending allows improvement in efficiency of filler loading

(She said more info in lecture about why for each point but did not add)
SILANE COUPLING AGENTS
1
Why do we use silane coupling agents
2
How do they help this?
EXTRA INFO FOR UNDERSTANDING
- dental composites comprise of an inorganic filler + organic polymer matrix
- so there is no inherent affinity between these two distinct phases
- it is v important to improve ashesion of the filler with polymer matrix to avoid debonding in service
- to do so, molecules that are bifnucional such as silane coupling agents is used to treat the filler particles
IN RH image
- filler particles have been treated with this molecule - one end of molecule has a carbon carbon double bond
- other end has 3 hydroxyl groups attached to silicone
(This is commonly used silane coupling agent)
- when you interact this molecule or condense it with inorganic particles , the hydrophilic end condenses with the inorganic particles
- when polymerisation occurs, this group undergoes polymerisation
Overall
- have enhanced adhesion between the ceramic phase (inorganic phase) and organic phase
PHOTOINITIATORS
1
Most common one used? (Colour)
2
What colour and range of light does it absorb?
3
How does it work?
4
Does the colour of the photo-initiator effect the colour/ shade of the composite?
5
EXTRA
- minor but important constituent in dental composites
4
No
Dental composites: SETTING REACTION
1
Type of reaction?
2
How may the free radicals be generated?
3
2 types of curing reactions
1
- free radical addition polymerisation reaction
- Methacrylates undergo addition polymerisation
2
- heat
- light
- chemical activation
3
A - CHEMICAL REACTION
B - PHOTOINITATORS
Dental composites: SETTING REACTION
1
What do chemically activated reactions comprise of
2
How do chemically activated reactions work?
1
- Two paste systems
- PASTE 1 = initiators such as benzoyl peroxide BPO
- PASTE 2 = Amine
2
- reaction starts as soon as 2 are mixed + produce free radicals + polymerisation commences
- limited working time (ISO standards = recommended of at least 90 seconds)
- rate of set is uniform throughout the bulk of the material causing a gradual rise in viscosity @ room temp
EXTRA
- ISO recommends that these materials should form a hard solid within 5 minutes at 37 degrees (as being set in mouth
Dental composites: SETTING REACTION
1
What do photo-initiated reactions comprise of
2
Disadvantage of camphorquinone
3
Alternatives to camphoriquinone
4
What is the matrix phase?
1
- One paste system
- photoinitiators such as camphorquinone
- amine activator in the same paste
2
- is a bright yellow solid present
- hard to obtain different shades
3
trimethylbenzoyl-diphenyl-phosphine oxide (TPO) is being currently tested as an alternative and some composites are using a combination of the two
4
- ‘Matrix’ is the phase formed on polymerisation of the methacrylate monomers
- weakest + least wear resistant phase
- can absorb fluids
- is responsible for shrinkage and thermal properties are of importance to suit dental applications
EXTRA
- don’t halve a limited working time
- viscosity does not increase until exposed to photoinitation
- so plenty of placing and manipulation time
- once composite exposed to photoinitation source, material sets V rapidly
CURING
1
Disadvantages of chemical activation
(HINT - when mixing)
2
Photoinitiation / light activation - what does the degree of the cure depend on?

5
can cause temp to rise if heat dissipation is not possible
