Q

Describe enamel bonding.

A
  • Acid etching transforms the smooth low energy enamel surface into an irregular surface, with increased surface free energy and wettablity
  • The increased wettability allows fluid-based resin to easily spread into the irregularities and become mechanically interlocked following polymerization

A

23
Q

layer of micro-mechanical retention between the resin and irregular tooth surface

A

hybrid layer

24
Q

the resin that is polymerized after penetration into the exposed dentinal tubules

A

resin tags

25
Q

main contributors to composite resin retention

A

micro-mechanical bond created by the hybrid layer followed by the chemical bond between the primer, adhesive, and composite

26
Q

4th generation etch and rinse systems

A

3-step process with each etch, primer, and adhesive as individual steps

27
Q

5th generation etch and rinse systems

A

2-step process in which etch is followed by a primer and adhesive product combined into a single step

28
Q

technique in which etchant is applied selectively to enamel to potentially reduce post-operative sensitivity while maintaining a strong enamel bond

A

selective etch technique

29
Q

Properties of a self-etch system and its implications:

A

Combines the acid etch with another step, the acid etchant is less potent because it is not rinsed after application

Implications:
- smear layer is not removed, a carbide bur is recommended for preparation to minimize smear layer formation
- less post-op sensitivity
- weaker enamel bond

6th generation etch and rinse systems

A

2 step process which combines acid etch and primer into a single step followed by adhesive

32
Q

A

33
Q

Composition of composite (3):

A

Resin matrix- organic, highly viscous pre-polymer, proceeds to polymerize into a solid form when cured (bis-GMA)

Filler particles- small RO particles of silica and powdered ceramic glass which ranges in different shapes and sizes

Coupling agent- coats filler particles to promote adhesion between the fillers and resin-matrix (silane)

Leaching of _________ can happen with uncured resin and through the wearing of composite.

A

bisphenol-A (BPA)

35
Q

Composite resins can be categorized by filler characteristics.

Larger fillers =
Higher filler content =

A

Larger fillers = more strength, low polishability and high wear into a rougher surface

Higher filler loading = lower matrix content which results in less water absorption

36

A

nanohybrid

41
Q

Composite resins can be categorized based on their viscosity (2):

48
Q

initiator for self-cure vs light cure vs dual cure composite

A

Self-cure = benzoyl peroxide
Light cure = camphorquinone
Dual cure = both

49
Q

How does polymerization shrinkage occur?

A

During the polymerization reaction, free radicals break the carbon double bond in a bis-GMA monomer to form a single bond with an adjacent monomer. The side group will cross-link by sharing electrons via a covalent bond to create strong cured material. The continuous recruitment of monomers results in a decrease in resin volume and subsequent shrinkage.

50
Q

common range of polymerization shrinkage of composite resins

A

2-3%

51
Q

used to represent the expected polymerization shrinkage, determined by the proportion of bound to unbound surfaces of the composite resin restoration

A

configuration (C) factor

52
Q

high vs low C factor

A

Higher C-factor = high chance for shrinkage, micro-leakage, and post-op sensitivity

To minimize shrinkage, smaller increments of 2mm can be cured for a larger restoration.
