Composite Resin and GIC Flashcards
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
this type of CR has smooth surface finish but low compressive strength
microfilled CR
this type of CR has smooth surface finish and high compressive strength
hybrid CR or blends
amount of fillers in blends
inorganic: 70-80%
resin matrix: 20-30%
filler size of this type of CR is slightly smaller than the conventional and mixed with submicron-sized fillers
blends or hybrid CR
T or F: flowable composites has a rough surface making it prone to wearing
TRUE. flowable composites has low wear resistance = rough surface
T or F: the low compressive strength of flowable composites is due to lower filler content
TRUE
T or F: flowable composites are indicated for extensive Class I caries
FALSE. only small Class I and as a pit and fissure sealant
this type of CR is used as the first increment liner under a hybrid or packable composite
flowable composite
properties of flowable composite (4)
- easy to manipulate
- low wear resistance
- low filler content
- low compressive strength
indications of flowable composite (4)
- small Class I
- P and F sealant
- marginal repair material
- liner in hybrid and packable composites
this was designed to be more viscous and get a “feel” upon insertion similar to amalgam
PACKABLE COMPOSITE
goals of developing packable composite
- easier restoration of proximal contact
- similarity to handling properties of amalgam
indications of composite resin (5)
- Class I-VI restorations
- As foundation for core buildups
- Sealants and conservative restoration for preventive restorations
- Esthetic enhancement procedures
- Periodontal splinting
contraindications of composite resin (2)1
- stress-bearing posterior restorations
- when moisture control is poor
T or F: moisture control is attained through the use of rubber dam
TRUE
T or F: CR has a high thermal conductivity
FALSE. it is not metal !!! low thermal conductivity
advantages of CR (7)
- esthetic
- low thermal conductivity
- no galvanic reactions
- direct material (1 appointment only)
- easily repaired
- bonded resin may enhance tooth strength
- conservative preparation technique that minimizes removal of sound tooth structure
T or F: CR releases fluoride
FALSE. GIC releases fluoride but not CR
polymerization shrinkage of composite is resolved by
incremental packing
T or F: composite has good dentin adaptation
FALSE. that is why it needs to be etched and bonded
