Composite Resin Flashcards
Enamel bonding is _______ and _______.
Dentin bonding is _______ and _______.
Enamel = reliable & predictable
Dentin = not as reliable & predictable
Describe enamel bonding.
- 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
Enamel bonding can generate up to _____ MPa of shear bond strength, when conducted without moisture contamination.
20 MPa
Describe dentin bonding compared to enamel bonding.
equally as strong as enamel bonding but not as reliable and predictable
composition of dentin vs enamel that results in less reliable and predictable bonding
Dentin has a HIGHER WATER COMPOSITION than enamel, which reduces the effectiveness of acid etching.
structure arrangement of dentin vs enamel that results in less reliable and predictable bonding
Enamel rods are arranged in parallel and have a regular pattern that is easily etched.
Dentin tubules are composed of a disorganized organic matrix of collagen.
tubule arrangement of dentin that results in less reliable and predictable bonding
dentinal tubules become larger in diameter and more numerous near the pulp, this results in decreased bond strength closer to the pulp due to the interference of dentinal fluid
smear layer of dentin that results in less reliable and predictable bonding
the smear layer will plug the dentinal tubule orifices to form a smear plug
smear layer of dentin that results in less reliable and predictable bonding
the smear layer will plug the dentinal tubule orifices to form a smear plug, which will decrease dentinal permeability by up to 90%, the smear layer is composed of the shavings of hydroxyapatite and collagen generated during tooth preparation
content of acid etch
30-40% phosphoric acid (commonly 37%)
how to acid etch
apply for 15 seconds, rinse with water for 10 seconds
What does acid etch do?
- dissolves the smear layer and cleans the surface debris
- exposes the collagen layer in dentin, widening the dentinal tubules
When is GLUMA applied?
After etching, the surface must be gently air-dried and left moist. GLUMA can be applied to re-wet the tooth.
appearance of enamel after etching, and why
chalky white appearance due to the creation of microporosity
content of primer
HEMA, an amphiphilic resin monomer wetting agent and solvent (common solvents are acetone, ethanol, and water)
purpose of primer
infiltrate the enamel prisms and dentinal tubules to prevent collagen collapse and allow for better adhesion
After application, this step must be gently air-dried to evaporate the solvent and leaving only the monomers.
primer
________ can result in an allergic reaction called contact dermatitis when it contacts bare skin.
Primer
allergic reaction that primer can cause when it contacts bare skin
contact dermatitis
content of bond/adhesive
bis-GMA monomers
