Adhesion in operative dentistry- Basic concepts Flashcards
Define Adhesion:
Adhesion or bonding is the attachment of one substance to another. Force of interatomic attraction, strong (ionic, covalent, metallic) or the attraction between unlike molecules, weak (Van der Waals forces, hydrogen bonds)
What is chemical adhesion?
Interatomic attractions: swap or share electrons (ionic, covalent or metallic bonding)
What is physical adhesion?
Intermolecular attraction (Van der Waals forces, hydrogen bonds)
What is mechanical adhesion?
Macroscopic or microscopic interlocking and cementation.
Chemical adhesion (primary or real adhesion)
- It does not have much clinical significance.
- The adhesive resins (VERY WEAK), GICs and polycarboxylate resins
have real adhesion to the tooth (E and D). - Their carboxylic radicals bind to the Ca of the hydroxyapatite and
collagen organic portion.
What means adhesion in dentistry?
The forces or energies between atoms or molecules at an interface that hold two surfaces together.
Physical, chemical and mostly micromechanical interaction between an adhesive (C) and the substrates (A & B)
What components does Adhesion include?
- composite resins
- adhesion interface
- Dental tissue: enamel and dentin
What do we need to create in order the adhesive can penetrate?
micro retentions
How is the process called when we form micro retention?
This process is called CONDITIONING.
Whats chemical etching?
Etching: process of increasing the surface reactivity by
demineralizing the superficial calcium layer and thus creating enamel tags (5-50 m).
Whats physical mechanical procedure?
Procedures to get rough surfaces using direct erosion or an abrasive agent:
- with rotary instruments
- with inorganic abrasive particles at high speed (sand blasting)
We divide micro retention in two:
- chemical etching
2. Physical mechanical procedure
Adhesion with rotary instruments:
To create micro-retention areas we will use tools of cutting and abrasion as: burs, laser, polishing discs, grit blasting with small aluminumoxide particles.
Adhesion with abrasive particles at high speed:
Sand blasting
What is MACROretention?
Just for retained restorative materials, not adhered.
What macroretentions do we have?
- Adhesive forces
- cohesive forces
What are adhesive forces?
intermolecular forces which cause a tendency to resist separation in liquids. Between molecules of the same substance.
What are adhesive forces?
attraction forces between unlike molecules.
What`s an adhesive failure?
The bonding fails at the interface between the two substrates.
What’s a cohesive failure?
The bonding fails within one of the substrates.
What consequence does an adhesive failure have?
Lack of proper isolation will produce contamination with saliva and blood,(Tooth surface-Adh, RC-Adh)
What consequences do cohesive failures have?
- tooth surface
- contamination by saliva and blood etc.
- adhesive
Cohesive failures by tooth surface causes:
contamination, excessive etching (time, very strong acids or high concentration) or self cariogenic process, trauma or due to the technique (excessive traction when composite polymerizes if enamel is weakened- demineralised it is likely to break)
What’s a cohesive failure by RC?
Contamination by saliva and blood, trauma, improper technique especially polymerizing layers too thick.
What’s a cohesive failure due to the adhesive?
The causes are not well known, seems that the areas where most often the fault is the surface and deepest layer of the hybrid layer.
What’s Hydrophilic?
having strong affinity for water tending to dissolve in it, mix with it, or be wet by water.
What’s Hydrophobic?
is the physical property of a molecule that is repelled from a mass of water.
Whats surface energy (solid- adherend)?
ll the atoms that constitute a body are attracted to each other and at the same time they attract the surrounding atoms by electrostatic forces. The compensation of the forces helps the mass to be in balance.
Why the surface molecules are not in balance?
The surface molecules are not in balance as they are only surrounded by atoms on one side.
Whats the result of the molecule imbalance and how is it called?
The result of this imbalance of forces is known as surface energy , which is an energy that tends to attract other substances into the surface of the material.
What’s surface energy (adherend)?
Intermolecular forces that are on the surface of a material. Degree of attraction or repulsion force that a material surface exerts on another material.
What happens if we have a high surface energy? Explain the consequence:
If high surface energy: better reactivity, better adhesion. The increase in material surface = > surface energy.
Whats surface tension (liquid- adhesive)?
A manifestation of the intermolecular forces in liquids. Molecules with free ends can interact with other elements.
What do the molecules of the external surface have what the internal surfaces dont have in a liquid?
In a liquid, molecules of the external surface are provided with an additional energy compared to the internal surface.
How are drops in the liquid formed?
In liquids there is tendency that the force of the internal molecules pulls from the external ones- Drops are formed
Whats surface tension (adhesion)?
Resistance of a fluid to deform or break. Such resistance is defined directly by the intermolecular forces that are on the liquid surface.
