Bonding And Bonding Agents Flashcards
A dental bonding system provides which three essential functions
- Provides resistance to separation of an adherend substrate from a restorative/cementing material.
- Distributes stress along bonded interfaces
- Seals the interface via adhesive bonding between dentin and/or enamel and bonded material.
Which was the first bonding system based on
The first bonding agent was based on glycerophosphoric acid dimethacrylaye as a self-adhesive or self-ethching component for both enamel and dentin bonding
What are applications for bonding
Acid etching, effective ways to promote restoration and retention to ensure a sealed interfacial joint at restoration margins.
Provides strong,durable bond between resin and tooth structure.
Additional applications include pit and fissures sealants, amalgam bonding, enamel and dentin bonding,
Adhesive cements and endodontic sealers
True adhesion of restorative materials is to be achieved by
- Sound tooth structure must be conserved.
- Optimal retention must be achieved.
- Microleakage must be prevented
The fundamental mechanism of adhesion to tooth structure
Exchange by which the inorganic tooth material (hydroxyapatite) is replaced by synthetic resins
How is replacement of inorganic tooth material replaced by synthetic resins
- Removing hydroxyapatite to create microspores
- Infiltration of resin monomers into microspores and subsequent polymerization
Which factors can play roles in achieving adhesive bonds
- Surface energy and wetting
- Interpenetration (formation of hybrid zone)
- Micro mechanical interlocking
- Chemical bonding
Categories of wettability
- Mostly non wetting (>90°)
- Absolutely no wetting (180°)
- Mostly wetting (<90°)
- Absolutely wetting (0°)
Wettability can be enhanced by
Increasing the surface energy of substrates (enamel,dentin, synthetic materials)
What is important for achieving lasting intraoral bonds
For an adhesive monomer to wet hard tooth tissue as well as form a durable bond in the moist environment of the mouth, it must be:-
Hydrophilic for water compatibility and
Hydrolytically stable to ensure longetivity .
What is smear layer
When both enamel and dentin tissues are mechanically cut, a layer of adherent grinding debris and organic film known as smear layer is left on their surface and prevents strong bonding
What does the smear layer do in dentin
Becomes burnished into underlying dentinal tubules and lowers dentin permeability which is a protective effect .
But it is also a weak cohesive material and interferes with strong bonding.
Who gave first meaningful demo of acid etching
Michael Buonocore
What does phosphoric acid do to smear layer
It removes the smear layer and about 10 microns of enamel to expose prisms of enamel rods to create a honeycomb like high energy retentive surface.
Type 1 etching
The enamel rod centers
Type II etching
The peripheral areas
Higher surface energy ensures
That resin monomers will readily wet the surface, infiltrate into microspores and polymerize to form resin tags.
Who and when was the total etch concept introduced
Fusayama in 1979
Total etch used
Both dentin and enamel are etched simultaneously using 37% phosphoric acid.
What is hybrid layer
Hydrophilic resins can infiltrate the surface layer of acid-demineralized collagen fibres that is produced in etched dentin and can form a layer of resin infiltrated dentin with high cohesive strength
