Dental Cements Flashcards
what is a dental cement
a substance that hardens to act as a liner, base, restorative material or luting agent to bind devices and prostheses to tooth structure or to each other
what characteristics do we want a dental cement to have
- needs to be biocompatible
- needs to be inert and non-corrosive
- insoluble to acid attack
- dimensionally stable: minimal shrink upon setting and minimal expansion upon setting
- needs to set quickly
- has low surface tension
- adapts and adheres to anatomy
- insensitive to moisture during procedure
- fluoride release
- anti-microbial
- radiopaque
- cost effective
- low film thickness
- adequate strength
- low solubility
- reasonable setting time
- adequate working time
- cariostatic
- adhesion to tooth structure and restorative material
what does low surface tension mean
flows well and handles well
what low film thickness are we wanting
less than 25 micrometers
what adequate strength do we want dental cement to have
70 Mpa
what low solubility do we want dental cement to have
0.2% maximum at 24 hours
what is the reasonable setting time we want for dental cement
2.5-8 minutes
what high values do we want for cement
- high values for cyclic fatigue
- high values for thermal cycling
- high values for strength
what is cyclic fatigue
the stress, strain, and deformation induced in a material by cyclic loading
what is cyclic fatigue life
the number of loading cycles which produce a rupture or breakage in the material
what is a thermal cycle
any repetitive thermal test in which the temperature is regularly altered, touching a high temperature peak and a low temperature peak
what are the values for strength
- tensile
- compressive
- flexural strength
- shear
where do we use dental cement materials as cements
- permanent and provisional indirect restorations
- orthodontic brackets
- cementing post and core build ups
where do we use dental cement materials as a restorative material
permanent and provisional direct restorations
where do we use dental cement material as liner and bases
pulp protection in deep cavity excavation
no one cement can fill _____ but can be used _____
all applications; off label
what is adhesive bonding
accomplished through substituting inorganic tooth materials with resin monomers
- essentially minerals in the enamel and/or dentin are replaced by resin monomers
- through polymerization these become micromechanically interlocked into the porosities
how can adhesive bonding procedures can be completed
-etch and rinse and
- self etch
what is cementation
- cementation uses a good prep design and resistance to connect underlying tooth structure with a restoration
- the cement creates a hard cement layer to adhere to the 2 surfaces
- with cementation no matter how good the cement its critical that there is adequate preparation including good retention and resistance
when choosing a cement it is important to consider:
bond strength, preparation design, restorative material, ability to isolate, esthetics
what is the mechanism of action in adhesive bonding and what is the bond strength
-etched enamel leaves open the ability for resin to flow in and around the enamel rods creating resin tags
- creates micromechanical interlocking of resin with demineralized collagen of intertubular dentin
- creates a bond strength of 20-30 MPa
describe the mechanism of action of dental cement and what is the bond strength
- locking of cement into microscopic irregularities in prepared tooth surface and irregularities in the internal of the crown
- creates bond strength of 1-5MPa
how do cements work
- physical bonding
- chemical bonding
- mechanical bonding
describe physical bonding
very weak interactions with secondary bonds
- van der waals forces and hydrogen bonds
describe chemical bonding and give example
strongest bond with primary bonds
- ex: composite bond to adhesive bond agent
describe mechanical bonding
- interlocking undercuts, surface irregularities
- micromechanical retention
