Q

Self adhesive resin cements

A
• Easy to clean
• Dual Cure
• Need light cure as well as chemical cure to ensure full conversion
• Colour
• MaxCem Elite and SmartCem2 claim better translucency and better
colour stability
• Panavia SA Cement may be too opaque
• Enamel Bond
• Significantly better with acid etching, thus not ideal for veneers, inlays,
onlays, RBBs and orthodontic brackets
• Dentine Bond
• Not as good as that obtained with DBAs
• Acid etching compromises the bond
• Bond may be enhanced by pre-treatment with PAA
• Bond to Fibre Posts
• Enhanced when using a silane
• Bond to Zirconia
• Enhanced by using a ceramic primer
17
Q

Precious metal alloy bonding/intra oral repair uses the method of..

Success rate

A

Silica Coating

Poor

18
Q

Types of silica coating

Layers

and mechanism

A

Silicoater - mixture of silane coupling agent and silica coating
Tribochemical coating - works by causing advancing particle to rebound off coated surface

Metal > silica coating layer from blasting > silane coupling > composite on top

19
Q

Ideal cement

A
Long working time
Low film thickness
Low solubility 
High compressibility and tensile strength 
Low viscosity 
Adhere to tooth structure e.g in DBC 
Biocompatible 
Cariostatic 
Translucent/appropriate opacity 
Radiopaque
