Current Adhesives and Composite Bonding Flashcards
Cohesion:
attraction between similar molecules or atoms
a. Cohesive failure
Adhesion:
attraction between unlike molecules, attraction between two contacting
surfaces
a. Adhesive Failure
Adherend:
material bonded to another material by means of an adhesive
Adhesive:
substance that promotes adhesion
Adhesive Bonding:
joining two materials by means of an adhesive
Physical Bonding
◦ Very weak
◦ Ex. van der Waals forces
Chemical Bonding
◦ Very limited with dissimilar materials
Mechanical Bonding
(3)
◦Interlocking
◦Adhesive interlocks into surface irregularities
◦THIS IS THE DENTAL ADHESION MECHANISM
Microscopically intimate interface=
improved interlocking
Surface wetting-
the ability of a liquid to maintain intermolecular contact with
a solid surface
Improved surface wetting=
increased surface energy
Improved surface wetting= increased surface energy
◦ HOW?
(2)
◦ INCREASE SURFACE AVAILABLE FOR BONDING BY ETCHING
◦ Etching transforms smooth enamel into an IRREGULAR surface
Enamel Bonding=
very predictable
◦~25-30 MPa
Dentin Bonding=
more challenging
◦ Bond strengths vary
Type I-
“honeycomb” from dissolution of prism CORES
Type II-
“cobblestone” from dissolution of prism PERIPHERIES
TYPES I and II are found in
occlusal and middle thirds of teeth
BEST BONDS ACHIEVED TO TYPE I AND II
Type III-
combination of I and II
Type IV-
“pitted”
Type V-
“prismless” (flat and smooth)
Acid Etching Enamel
Chemical “drilling”
—% phosphoric acid is most effective for enamel retention

◦ Different types of acid used to etch different materials (nitric for metal, hydrofluoric for feldspathic porcelain)
◦ Removes about – microns enamel

◦ Place for — seconds prior to rinsing

Creates porous layer — microns deep
5-50
RINSE with water for – seconds after etching
10
RINSE with water for 10 seconds after etching
◦ To…
◦ — minimum water is necessary
◦ To remove acid and leave enamel surface clean for bonding
◦ 25mL
Etching increases (2)
wettability and surface area of the enamel
Etching raises the surface free energy to — the surface tension of bonding
material
◦ = (2)
EXCEED
◦ = produces spaces where resin can penetrate to form resin tags
◦ = mechanical interlocking that we are trying to achieve
After etching, apply —

resin (low viscosity)
◦ FLOWS into microporosities
◦ Polymerizes to MICROMECHANICAL BOND
LOCATION OF ADHESION MATTERS
Incisal third and middle third enamel
◦Predictable, strong
Cervical enamel
(2)
◦Shorter and fewer enamel tags (compared to middle and incisal thirds)
◦Less prism delineation (de to presence of prismless enamel, found in cervical third of 70% of teeth)
Bevels and Adhesive Dentistry
(3)
Reduce microleakage at cervical and ascending walls in Class II
preparations
Bevel gingival floor of prep
NECESSARY in enamel!
Additionally, enamel prepared with a bur
(bevelled) — better
etches
◦Reveals underlying prismatic enamel
When do we NOT bevel?
Deep preparations
◦So little enamel remains that a bevel would remove it all OR
◦Gingival floor is on cementum or dentin
The goal of adhesive dentistry with composite resin
◦In enamel-
◦In dentin-
interlocking with etched enamel rods
interlocking with etched dentin collagen
Enamel is great
◦—% inorganic matter by weight
◦—% hydroxyapatite by volume
◦—% organic matter by weight
◦—% water weight

◦Bevels of class II preparations
◦ENDS of enamel rods

◦Internal walls of occlusal preparations
◦Gingival floor of box of class II preparations (see bevelling)
◦SIDES of enamel rods
Enamel Bonding, summarized
Etch surface
◦ Increased surface area and surface energy
◦ Allows wetting by hydrophobic adhesive resin
◦ Remember- enamel has MINIMAL water (3%)
Resin tags interlock◦ Macro and micro tags into surface irregularities
Micromechanical bonding!
Enamel- Adhesive- Composite Bond!◦ 20-25MPa
◦ Clinically Acceptable!
Dentin is very heterogenous
◦—% mineral by volume
◦—% collagen
◦—% water
Compare this to enamel- —% inorganic matter and —% water
