Cementation Flashcards
Layers of tooth
Dentine
Enamel
Restoration - Cement
Restoration (metal, ceramic, composite resin)
Most commonly used
Composite resin
Procedure
Metal and metal ceramic restorations
Metal and ceramic endodontic posts
All-ceramic reinforced core ceramics
Resin bonded bridges
Precious metal bonding e.g intra-oral repair
Resin-bonded ceramics
Composite restorations
Fibre reinforced resin bridges
Fibre reinforced endodontic posts
Conventional cementation - non adhesive
Etching
Gritblasting
Tin plating
Silica coating
Metal primers
HF etch + silane
Resin to resin bond
Luting agents for:
Metal and metal ceramic restorations

Aesthetic dual cure resins
Adhesive resins
Conventional cementation
Zinc cements
GICs
Resin-modified GICs
Polyacid-modified Resin composites
Zinc phosphate composition
White powder - zinc and magnesium oxide
Clear liquid - 45-64% aqueous solution of phosphoric acid
Advantages of zinc phosphate cement
Easy to mix
Sharp and well defined set
Low cost product
Disadvantages of zinc phosphate cement
Risk of pulpal irritation due to low pH No antibacterial action Brittle No adhesive qualities Relatively soluble in oral environment Low tensile strength
Zinc polycarboxylate cement e.g ?
Durelon
White powder - zince with magnesium oxide and stannous fluoride
Clear liquid - 30-40% aqueous solution of polyacrylic acid
Advantages of zinc polycarboxylate cement
Bond to enamel and dentine as well as some of the metallic cast restorations Low irritancy Antibacterial action Low film thickness Fluoride release
Disadvantages of zinc polycarboxylate cement
Properties are highly dependent upon handling procedures
Short working times and long setting times
Bonding needs to be exact
Clean up difficult
Timing critical
Strength and solubility are comparable to zinc phosphate cement
Less adhesion than GIC and resins
GIC
Indications
Problems
Popularity
Suggestions for use
Fluoride release
Bond to tooth
Low expansion/contraction
Moderate strength
Some post-op sensitivity
Water sensitive during setting
Moderate/high popularity
Good for routine use on crowns and bridges
Suggest the use of a prep desensitiser
RMGIC examples
Fuji PLUS
Rely-X
Protec-Cem
Compomer/RMGIC
Strengths
Weaknesses
Popularity
Use suggestions
Fluoride release Bond to tooth Moderate-high strength No post op sensitivity Low solubility
Little long term experience, SWELLING
Low
Routine use on metal supported crowns and bridges, lab manufactured composites
Resin bonding to alloys
Interfaces involved
Examples of use
Tooth resin interface/resin metal interface
Resin bonded bridge (Ni-Cr)
Orthodontic bracket (Steel, Co-Cr, Ti)
Intra-oral repair (Au and Pd)
Composite resin facings (Au and Pd, Ni-Cr, Co-Cr, Co-Ni-Cr, Ti)
