Q

What does the strength of van der Waals adhesion depend on?

Q

What material is placed on frying pans because it has such a low surface energy?

17
Q

What are surface wetting agents?

A

DBAs increase critical surface energy of dentine to allow composite to flow and stick to surface

18
Q

How are DBAa bonded to dentine

A

Adhesion through molecular entanglement

19
Q

Define smear layer

A

An adherent layer of ORGANIC DEBRIS that remains on the dentine surface after the preparation of the dentine during the restoration of the tooth

20
Q

2 ways to deal with smear layer

A

Remove it and bond to ‘clean’ dentine beneath

Incorporate it by penetrating it, infiltrating it with bonding agent and stick it to the dentine below

21
Q

4 problems with dentine bonding

A

Dentine is hydrophilic where as most adhesive are hydrophobic
Dentine is vital tissue
Dentine consists of both organic and inorganic material
Covered by smear layer

22
Q

What are the 3 components of total etch DBA

A
  1. Dentine conditioner: an acid- usually 35% phosphoric
  2. Primer: adhesive part- with hydrophilic/hydrophobic molecule
  3. Adhesive: a resin which penetrates into the surface of the dentine attaching to the primers hydrophobic substance
23
Q

What is the function of the dentine conditioner in total etch DBA.

A

Removes smear layer
Opens dentinal tubules (by removing smear layer)
Decalcifies uppermost layer of dentine

24
Q

Function of primer in total etch DBA

A

Adhesive element in process

A coupling agent (usually HEMA)
Bifunctional- hydrophilic end to bond to hydrophilic dentine surface
Hydrophobic, methacrylate end to bond to the resin

25
Q

Composition and function of adhesive in total etch DBA

A

A mixture of hydrophobic resins (usually Bis-GMA and HEMA)
May contain filler particles to make it stronger
Will contain CAMPHORQUINONE to allow it to LIGHT CURE

Penetrates primed dentine and forms micromechanical bond within tubules and exposed dentine collagen fibres

Forms HYBRID LAYER of collagen plus resin

26
Q

Summary of actions of total etch DBA

A

Etching dentine:

  • demineralisation of outer layer
  • remaining collagen in HYDROPHILIC and has LOW SURFACE ENERGY (normal resin will not bond to it)

Primer:

  • can penetrate dentine due to its BIFUNCTIONAL MOLECULES
  • gives the surface HIGH ENERGY, and making it HYDROPHOBIC

Adhesive:

  • can now penetrate
  • MICROMECHANICAL RETENTION
27
Q

2 problems with total etch

A

Overetching:

  • collapse of collagen fibres– resin can’t penetrate
  • too deep an etch, primer can’t penetrate full depth

Moisture dependant:

  • too dry and dentine surface collapses
  • too wet and primer is diluted- reduced strength
