Q

Are glass ionomers and composites adhesive?

A

Glass ionomers are Self adhesive which means that adhesives are not required where as
but composites are not adhesive therefore they need an adhesive.

Q

what classifies a composite as hetero/homogenous?

A

If composite simply contains of filler particulars and uncured matrix material it is classified as homogeneous BUT if it includes precured composite or another unusual filler it is hetergenous.

Q

Properties of fillers surface?

A
Glass have a hydrophillic surface: 
--  Silica tetrahedrons
–  Surface hydroxyl groups
–  Attract water molecules
–  Inhibits wetting of surface with monomers (hydrophobic)

Q

Filler Phase (Silicates)

*Non-crystalline (glasses) modifications?

A

– Modified to improve characteristics
– Softer (Na, K, Ca)
– Additives to make glass Radiopaque (Ba, Zr, Y, Al) – More crushable (Al, Li)

21
Q

What kind of etch do we use?

A

phosphoric acid

22
Q

two types of adhesive systems? what do we use?

A
total etch (etch & rinse) 
selective etch (self etch) 

we use total etch!

23
Q

do we use 2 step or 3 step total etch?

A

we use 2 step.

24
Q

What kind of filler do we use?

A
  • nanofill: filtk supereme ultra universal (3M)

* No glass fillers – only silica particles in the range 5-100nm and aggregations of silica particles (nanoclusters)

25
Q

What kind of etch and how long?

A

we use 37% phosphoric acid etch for 15-20 seconds

26
Q

What nanohybrid have we used (OSU clinic)?

A

Herculite Ultra (Kerr) is a nanohybrid used in clinic

27
Q

2 types of bulk fill

A
sonic fill (kerr dental):
Comes in capsules that engage in a slow speed

tetric Evoceram (Ivoclar): A special photo-initiator that increases the depth of cure

28
Q

3 different kinds of retainer systems

A

1- Tofflemire with circumferential bands
3- Sectional matrix
2- Retainless Tofflemire Absence of matrix retainer

29
Q

Pre-contoured Sectional matrix band are how thin?

A

001”

30
Q

Prongs on rings produce?

A

seperation between the teeth and some are made of plastic and others made of silicone pads.

31
Q

two different kinds matrix bands/material/thickness

A

Circumferential or sectional matrix bands

Material::
Metal
Polyester – Clear or blue

Thickness of the bands::
Thin 0.0015”
Ultra thin (Dead soft) 0.001”

32
Q

What kind of wedge did we use

what kind of wedge did we use for circumferential & sectional?

A

wizard wedge
wizard wedge for circumferential
Anatomical wooden wedge for sectional.

33
Q

Function of wedges

A

1- Seal gingival margin to prevent overhang
2- shape and rebuild the proximal contact should be correct above just above adjacent tooth marginal ridge.
3- Wedges adjacent teeth to compensate for the band’s thickness

34
Q

3 kinds of wedging techqniue

A
  1. wedge wedging
  2. piggyback wedging
  3. double wedging
35
Q

Provide all steps for composite restoration

A

1- Anesthetic- Isolate- select shade-
Examine the margins of the preparation, have a plan
Profound Anesthetic + shade selection+ check occlusion

2- Etch with Phosphoric acid Etch 37% phosphoric acid for 15 s (etching removes smear layer. It opens dentin tubules and removes smear plugs. pH=2/strong self adhesive etch)

3- Rinse thoroughly : air-water spray copious water (DON’T desiccate because if you over dry you will have a ton of collagen fibers that collapse in the dentinal layer and Over-drying can evaporate water out of tubules and cause bite sensitivity)

4- Lightly air dry
5- Apply adhesive-cure (apply 1-2 coats of adhesive lightly dry it–Adhesive infiltrate moist dentin) –> Resin tag and hybrid layer created

6- Apply selected shade of composite in increments Cure for 20 s

36
Q

which etching system do you use?

A

total etch system: Two step: 2 bottle system etch, prime + bond (these are together)

37
Q

two adhesive systems

A

1- Total etch system: etch, rinse, apply bonding agent
• PH=2
• Preferred when there is enamel margins
• Two step: 2 bottle system etch, prime + bond
• Three step (conventional): 3 bottle etch, prime, bond

2- Self etch adhesive “No Etch and Rinse step”
• PH=3-5
• Two step: 2 bottle acidic primer, bonding agent
• One step: 1 bottle acidic primer + bonding agent

38
Q

What etch system do we use? (brand)

A

Optibond Solo Plus Kerr- Total etch system

39
Q

4 composite instruments we use

A

BBL
CVIPC
8A
Contact Former

40
Q

What do you do after you’re finished with your restoration?

A
  1. Remove Rubber dam
  2. Evaluate the margins –Check for excess- check for deficiencies
  3. Check for proximal contact
  4. Check Occlusion With articulating paper and miller forceps
  5. Adjust occlusion with rotary carbide finishing burs
41
Q

What do you use to polish?

A

Soflex finishing and polishing kit (helps remove excess composite)
Diacomp Polishing Wheels
