Composite Resin and GIC Flashcards
(111 cards)
composite resins are known as
FILLED RESINS
the most widely used restorative material
COMPOSITE RESIN
phases of composite resin (2)
- Continuous Polymeric Phase
- Discontinuous Inert Phase
the continuous polymeric phase of composite resin is due to the reaction between __________ and __________ resulting in ____________
glycidyl methacrylate + Bisphenol A = BisGMA
epoxide material in the continuous polymeric phase of CR
glycidyl methacrylate
organic material in the continuous polymeric phase of CR
Bisphenol A
discontinuous inert phase of CR is also known as
DISPERSED PHASE OF INERT FILLERS
inorganic fillers of composite resin (CR)
- quartz or silica
- lithium aluminum silicate
- various barium glasses
T or F: fillers increase the strength of the resin
TRUE
T or F: the coefficient of thermal expansion is increased due to inert fillers
FALSE. decreased (which is good = enhances use of resin)
filler surfaces are coated by
COUPLING AGENT
these increases strength of composite resin by coating the fillers
COUPLING AGENT
these decreases the solubility and water absorption of composite resin
COUPLING AGENT
coupling agents (2)
- VINYL SILANE
- EPOXY SILANE
basic types of CR
- CONVENTIONAL CR (MACROFILLED)
- MICROFILLED CR
- HYBRID CR or BLENDS
other types of CR
- FLOWABLE
- PACKABLE
this type of restoration provides a rough surface finish but has high compressive strength
CONVENTIONAL CR or MACROFILLED RESIN
the rough surface from macrofilled resin is due to the big size of what
FILLERS
filler size in macrofilled resin
5-25 microns (average of 8 microns)
amount of inorganic fillers in conventional CR
75-80%
amount of resin matrix in conventional CR
20-25%
this was designed to replace the rough surface finish of conventional CR
microfilled composite resin
amount of fillers in microfilled resin
inorganic: 35-50%
resin matrix: 50-65%
filler size in microfilled resin
0.01-0.004 microns
