Adhesives and Bonding Flashcards
What is the procedure of bonding to enamel
etch enamel
rinse and dry
place enamel bonding resin
place restorative composite
The path of etch is similar to what
caries-cores of rods etch more and lateral sides near sheath
How much of the surface is etched
10µm of surface and penetrates 25-75µm
What is the strength of the acid used to etching
37% phosphoric acid
some 10% solutions being advocated total etch technique
What is the length of time for etching
15-20 sec
Why do primary teeth require a longer etching time
hyperfluornated
What is the proper timing for rinsing etch
10-20 sec
short rinse may leave debris
long rinse may weaken bond
What is the result upend contamination of etched enamel by saliva or secular fluid
it decreases the bond strength
must re-etch
What is the visual clue to determine successful etching
frosty white coloring
What are some drying techniques used to dry the etch
electric hot air dryers
HVE
three way syringe
liquid drying agents do not seem to do anything
What is the difference of etch pattern from gel to liquid
they are the same pattern!
can control gel pattern more
liquid etch is good for grooves and fissures
Bonding resin is made up of what
low viscosity resins (monomers)
After the bonding resin is places with a 10 sec cure, the composite is applied how
2mm increments
40 sec light cure
The remineralization of etched enamel can take up to how many months
2-3; fluoride can induce remineralization
Why is remineralization practical or not
etched enamel is probably polished off during finishing
protein matrix destroyed during finishing
Freshly cut etched enamel produces 25-50% greater bond strengths than uncut, why?
to get through the first amorphous enamel to get to the rods
This gives a good esthetic transition from tooth to material, the best marginal seal and minimum micro leakage, but a less durable restorative material margin configuration
a 45° exit
This conserves maximum tooth structure, produces weaker enamel bonds, can be optically more difficult to hide transition from tooth to material, most durable material margin configuration
90° exit
What is the procedure of bonding to dentin
etch dentin
rinse and dry
place dentin/enamel bonding resin
place restorative composite
This is an adherent layer of tooth debris, saliva, and bacteria which covers surface and plugs tubules to reduce dentin permeability, it offers weak cohesion and adhesion and must be addressed
smear layer
Newer dentin bonding systems remove this, which interferes with the resin bonding
smear layer
You must be aware of these changes in dentin
aging;
primary and secondary are organized
tertiary or repetitive is irregular
sclerotic dentin is high mineralized and response to mild stimulus
Cervical lesions can have either of these two things
sensitivity; open tubules
insensitive; transparant, discolored, occluded tubules
This relies on demineralization and is micromechanical
resin based dentin adhesion
