Q

How did composite with degradable glass filler work?

A
  • fluoride release initially high (not as high as GIC)
  • tails off over days/weeks, related to the glass on the surface
  • once exhausted, no more release
  • filler degrades over time reducing the mechanical properties

Q

What is resin modified GIC?

A
  • combination of GIC ingredients (glass powder, polyacids, water)

Q

Setting reactions for resin modified GIC

A
  • acid and base reaction - from mixing powder with liquid
  • polymerisation (light or chemical activation)
  • once powder and liquid are mixed, acid base reaction begins. If chemically activated, polymerisation begins
  • light activated polymerisation delayed until light is switched on

Q

How does polymerisation of RMGIC affect solubility?

A
  • polymerisation leads to a lower initial solubility
  • faster reaction produces crosslinked network
  • no need to apply varnish during setting or when doing subsequent work

Q

Dimensional changes in RMGIC

A
  • initial shrinkage on setting - polymerisation causes volumetric contraction
  • long-term expansion as HEMA is hydrophilic and absorbs water
  • ISO 4049 has the maximum allowed water absorption, RMGICs have higher absorption
17
Q

Disadvantages of water absorption in RMGIC

A
  • can cause swelling/pressure, degradation or discolouration
18
Q

What are compomers?

A
  • acid-modified composites
  • similar to RMGIC
  • strontium fluorisilicate glass - radio-opaque
  • UDMA modified with acid groups
  • hydrophilic monomer - HEMA or glycerol dimethacrylate
  • no water
19
Q

Are compomers light activated or chemically?

A
  • light for restoratives
  • chemical for luting
20
Q

Setting reactions in compomers

A
  • stage 1 is polymerisation (light or chemical)
  • stage 2 is water uptake from oral env - gives ionic environment
  • stage 3 is acid base reaction - glass and aqueous acid
21
Q

Fluoride release from compomers

A
  • some fluoride release may occur in water uptake
  • most significantly in acid base reaction though
22
Q

Structure of compomers

A
  • matrix resin with acid
  • water
  • reactive glass filler
23
Q

Role of HEMA in compomer

A
  • allows water to enter matrix and therefore further acid-base reaction and fluoride release
  • can lead to a gap forming around glass particles which weakens the compomers over time
24
Q

Manipulation characteristics in compomers

A
  • good
  • flow well and adapt to cavity easily
  • tend to not stick to instruments
25
Q

Mechanical properties of compomers

A
  • similar to composites of equivalent filler concentration
  • may deteriorate - aging effect
26
Q

Fluoride release in compomers

A
  • limited by acid base reaction
  • no burst effect like in GICs
  • sustained
27
Q

Dimensional stability in compomers

A
  • polymerisation reaction leads to shrinkage
28
Q

What are compomer luting materials?

A
  • chemically activated products for luting
  • normally a powder-liquid e.g Dyract Cem
  • similar to restoratives with same brand name
  • air block gel to prevent oxygen inhibition
  • resin cement with some fluoride release
  • chemically activated polymerisation - minimal acid base reaction
29
Q

Compomer luting materials have greater … and … than acid base cements

A
  • strength and toughness
30
Q

Bonding of compomers

A
  • don’t naturally bond to enamel and dentine
  • too viscous, insufficient free acid groups in resin, insufficient ionic character (no water)
  • needs a dentine bonding agent - equivalent to composite, required for restoration and luting applications
31

A
  • composite with pre-reacted glass ionomer glass filler
  • acid and glass pre-reacted by manufacturer
  • particles surface treated to aid mechanical properties

33
Q

Mechanical properties of giomers

35
Q
