cementation Flashcards
What is the classification of cements?
Liners and bases
Temporary cements
Permanent cements
What are liners and bases?
GIC eg. Fuji IX
RMGIC eg. Fuji II
Bulk fill, C factor reduction
Command set w light cure
Can etch for strong bond w dentine bonding agents
Can adhere to unetched hard tissue
Exhibit sustained fluoride release
What are temporary cements?
Between prep and definitive
Can be a week to several months (usually 2 weeks)
Can be used to assess pulpal health, gingival healing, implant integration, aesthetics and functional change evaluation
What can loss or failure of the temp lead to?
Pain
Over eruption and loss of space
Drifting of proximal teeth
Damage to core prep
What are the functions of temporary cement?
Provide a seal
Prevent marginal leakage
Prevent pulpal irritation
Low strength for easy removal
Protect prep
What are the ideal properties of temp cement?
Seal against leakage of oral fluids
Low solubility
Biocompatible
Chem compatibility w polymer
Ease of use/removal
Easy to eliminate excess
Adequate working/setting time
Compatible w definitive luting agent
What materials are used for temp cement?
Fine particle ZOE (Tempbond- Kerr)
Non Euganol (Tempbond NE- Kerr)
Also, Zinc phosphate, zinc polycarboxylate and GIC
But, these are too high strength so difficult removal and prep damage
What are the advantages of ZOE?
Easy removal/use
Acceptable sealing properties
Obtundent effect on pulp
What are disadvantages of ZOE?
Eugenol+resin=bad combo
Eugenol acts as plasticiser of methacrylate and reduces surface hardness and strength
Can interfere w bond strength of cements
Inhibits polymerisation of certain composites
Must ensure all cement removed before definitive
What is the ideal permanent cement?
Adequate working time with rapid set
Low film thickness
Low solubility
High compressive and tensile strengths
Low viscosity
Adhesive
Biocompatible
Cariostatic
Translucent/opaque
Radiopaque
What are some historical permanent cements?
Zinc phosphate
Zinc polycarboxylate
Conventional GIC
Zinc oxide cements
What permanent cements are used?
RMGIC
Total etch adhesive resin cements (self cure, light cure, dual cure)
Self etching resin cements
What is RMGIC?
Hybrid of resin and GI components
Insoluble
Bonds to inorganic phase of dentine
Adheres to tooth structure/ceramic (not strong)
Used for metal-based
Contraindicated for ceramic due to hygroscopic expansion (leads to fracture)
Eg. Rely X luting
How does RMGIC work?
Contains
Acid soluble glass
Polyacid polymers (polyacrylic/itaconic/maleic)
Polymerising dimethacrylates
Polyacid polymers react w calcium in glass filler and dentine
Dimethacrylates polymerise into solid resin
Combines GI and resin tech
What is the composition and setting of RMGIC?
Powder (ion-leachable glass)
Liquid (methacrylate resin- bisGMA)
Acid-base and polymerisation reactions
HEMA allows resin and acid components to coexist in aqueous solution + take part in polymerisation
Water allows ionisation of acid component for acid-base reaction
Polymerisation activators and stabilisers
