Q

importance of critical surface energy and dentine

A

a liquid must have a lower surface energy than the surface it is being placed on to flow and then stick

lower SE liquid will flow onto a higher SE substrate = lower SE as a whole

Wet Dentine has a lower SE than Composite filling materials

  • Therefore this has to be reversed so that the Wet Dentine has a Higher SE than composite
  • DBAs increase surface energy of dentine surface to allow composite to flow and stick

Q

dentine adhesion through molecular entanglement

A

Adhesive absorbed onto surface but also into interior of dentine due to good wetting/surface energies

  • absorbed component can polymerise
  • polymer meshes with substrate- molecular entanglement = high bond strength
  • phosphate-calcium bonds formed *can be hydrolysed by saliva/dentinal fluid = weakened bonds

Q

problems with total etch

A
  • Overetching can cause collagen to collapse so no resin can penetrate
  • Overetching can mean the depth of etch is too much for the resin to penetrate fully leaving areas of unsupported collagen
  • Moisture dependence- too dry (dentine collapses) too wet (primer dilutes- reduced strength)

at single temperature

130
Q

131
Q

cooling and composition of alloys

A

must cool molten alloys slowly

allows metal atoms to diffuse through lattice

  • ensure grain composition is homogenous

downside is it has hard grains - so poor mechanical properties

132
Q

rapid cooling of alloys causes

A

coring

133
Q

coring alloys

A

rapid cooling of alloys causes a concentration gradient to form

  • different proportions of metal with one starting in low conc and increasing and the other metal antithesis of this

coring helps improve mechanical properties by reducing dislocation movement and resulting in small grains

134
Q

homongenising anneal

A

gentle heat and vibrate atoms, helps atoms to diffuse (below recrystalistallisation temperature) to reduce the coring but not altering the grain structure allowing a more homogenous proportion of metal right the way through its depth

135
Q

dislocation in alloys

A

in metals the defect rolls smoothly over the lattic along the slip plane

in alloys the defect has to ‘fall’ into the space between the large and small atoms and climbs over the atoms alonge the grain boundary but requires a great degree of effort to do so

  • instead of flying over a crowd of people you have to climb over them because you cant get through them*
  • Requires more stress to move dislocations in a solid solution = inherently better mechanical properties

Q

3 stages of dental ceramics setting reaction

A

vitreous phase

fusion

firing (sintering)

186
Q

virteous phase of dental ceramics setting reaction

A

formed by a flux i.e. Feldspar, this breaks the terahedral structure of silica

forms an amorphous 2D structure

feldspar lowers the fusion and softening temperature of the glass

during firing it forms a solid mass around the other components

187
Q

fusion phase of dental ceramics setting reaction

A

feldspar reacts with the outer layers of silica known as Kaolin - melding the particles together and forms leucite at 1150-1500oC

molten mass then is quenched and ground to a fine powder known as frit

this stage that you incorporate opacifiers, metal oxides and crystalline alumina for colouring and strengthening

188
Q

firing phase of dental ceramics setting reaction

(sintering)

A

heating leads to sintering

occurs just above the glass transistion temperature

glass phase will soften and the particles coalesce

causes contraction of the material by about 20%

189

surface micro-cracks

slow crack growth

together mean feldspathic ceramics can only be used in anterior region

201
Q

static fatigue in dental ceramics

A

decrease in strength over time in the absence of any applied load, thought to be due to hydrolysis of Si-O groups within the material over time in an aqueous ennviroment

202
Q

surface micro-cracks in dental ceramics

A

can occur during manufacture, finsihing or due to occlusal wear

203
Q

204
Q

3 types of copings

A

metal copings (porcelain fused to metal alloy)

alumina core

zirconia core

205
Q

alumina core

A

core material in Porcelain Jacket Crowns

better flexure strength than feldspathic porcelain

alumina particles stock cracks propagating

however its opaque so can’t be used as a restorative material

206
Q

zirconia core

A

zirconium dioxide

  • zirconia powder doesn’t sinter unless heaated at over 1600oC
  • pure zirconia can crack on cooling
    • zirconia is a monoclinical structure
    • Ytrria stabilisation - allows zirconia to be used as a bridge
  • zirconia goes through manufacturing process and is veneered with feldspathic porcelin to produce the final restoration
207
Q

Yttria stablisation of zirconia

A

zirconia contains small amounts of Yttria

Yttria has a tetragonal structure (zirconia is monoclinical)

crack starts, tip of crack causes the yttria to reach a critical stress level and causes it to convert to the monoclinical structure like the rest of zirconia which will manifest as the crack is healing over

allows it be used for bridges

208
Q

pros of zirconia core

A

great aesthetics because of cores opacity

excellent fit

209
Q

cons of zirconia core

A

expensive equipment initial but material is cheap

porcelain can debond from core

inert fitting surface so cannot etch or bond

210
Q

cast/pressed ceramics process

A

lithium disilicate/reinforced glass is the ceramic used in this

wax up restoration

invested

cast from ceramic ingot

undergoes ceraming i.e. reheating it once cast to improve crystal structure and produce crack inhibiting crystals

211
Q

ceraming stages (2)

A

1 - crystals formed: max no. nuclei formed

2 - crystal growth: max physical properties

212
Q

luting crowns

A

any silica containing crowns can be etched with hydrofluric acid to produce a retentive surface

  • this surface can be bonded to using a silane coupling agent and then bonded to the tooth using an appropriate agent

Zirconia crowns are inert so cannot be ethced, howevere strong enough to be self supporting and can be bonded with a traditional cement

213
Q

milled Vs cast/pressed crowns

A

milled crowns have consistent physical properties meaning they are better overall

214
Q

A
  • viscosity/film thickness
  • ease of use
  • radiopaque
  • marginal seal
  • biocompatibility
  • mechanical properties
215
Q

viscosity film thickness of luting agent

A

dependent on size of powder/filling particles

must be low to allow seating of restoration without interference

viscosity increases as the material sets - highlighting the importance of seasting it quickly and with pressure

25 micro-metres thickness ideally

216
Q

ease of use for luting agents

A

easy to mix

working time should allow seating of restoration

should have short setting time

217
Q

radiopaque quality of luting cement

A

some ceramic crowns are radiolucent

radiopacity allows marginal breakdown to be illicited on radiographs

218
Q

marginal seal of luting cements

ideally should bond chemically to the tooth and form an inpenetrable bond

219
Q

221
Q

powder components of zinc phosphate cement

A

zinc oxide - main reactive ingredient

magnium dioxide - gives white colour and compressive strength

other oxides (alumina, silica) - improve physical properties and alter shade of material

222
Q

liquid components of zinc phophate cement

A

phosphoric acid - aq solution

aluminum oxide - ensures consistency of set material

zinc oxide - retardant to reaction giving bettern working time

223
Q

setting reaction of zinc phosphate cement

A

acid/base

  • ZnO + 2H3PO4 -> Zn(H2​PO4) + H2O

hydration reaction

  • ZnO + Zn(H2​PO4) + 2H2​O -> Zn3(H2​PO4)2 . 4H2​O
    • makes Hopiete
224
Q

aluminium oxide role in setting reactin of zinc phosphate cement

A

prevents crystallisation leading to an amorphous glassy material

glassy matrix of acid salt surrounding unreacted ZnO powder

Matrix is almost insoluble but is porous and contains free water from the setting reaction

the cement matures and binds to the water leading to a stronger less porous material

225
Q

evaluation of ZnO

A

Low initial pH of 2 can cause pulpal irritation

Exothermic setting reaction

Not adhesive to tooth or restoration - acts almost like grout - just filling in spaces

Not cariostatic

final set takes 24 hrs

brittle

opaque

226
Q

evaluation of zinc polycarboxylate cement

A

Similar material to Zinc Phosphate cement but instead of Phosphoric acid it is replaced with Polyacrylic acid

Bonds to tooth surfaces a bit like GIC

Less exothermic

pH is low to begin with but returns to normal faster, long chain acids less damaging to the dentine

cheap

but

  • difficult to mix
  • difficult to manipulate
  • soluble in oral environment at low pH
  • opaque
  • lower modulus and compressive strength
227
Q

evaluation of glass ionomer cement

A
  • low shrinkage/stablity
  • relativly insoluble once fully set
  • aesthetically better than ZnPhos
  • self adhesive to tooth substance
  • F release
  • cheap
  • highly soluble
228
Q

composite luting cement

bonding to indirect composite

A
  • composite bonds to composite
  • micromechanical bonding occurs on the rought internal surface of the composite inlay
  • bond is also chemical to remaining unbroken C=C bonds on the inlay surface
  • using a dual curing cement as light penetration using conventional cement wouldn’t work
229
Q

composite luting cement

bonding to porcelain

A

is brittle and is required to be bonded to tooth to prevent fracture

untreated porcelain is smooth and non-retentive

can be treated with HF to etch the surface (v.toxic)

produces a rough retentive surface but is still not hydrophobic and compatible with composite resin luting agents

requires a surface wetting agent - silane coupling agent

thin porcelain - light cure composite can be used

thick porcelain - dual cure needed

230
Q

silane coupling agent when composite luting agent is bonding to porcelain

A

allows a strong bond to form between the silcon group in the porcelain and the base carbon as part of the composite monomer

231
Q

composite luting agent bonding to metal

A

like porcelain, composite doesn’t directly bond to metal

metal surface needs roughened - etching or sandblasting

electrolytic etching (beryllium alloys best)

need a dual cure luting agent

232
Q

composite luting agent bonding to non precious metals

A

use carboxylic/phosphoric acid derived materials

MDP and 4-META

both molecules have an acidic C=C end, this reacts with the metal oxide and renders the surface hydrophobic

233
Q

bonding to precious metals with composite luting agent

A

change to precious allow composition to allow oxide formation

increase copper content and head to 400oC

sulphur based bonding agent

234

acid groups bind with calcium in HPA forming a stabilising attachement between tooth and resin

ions from dissolution of filler neutralise the remaining acidic groups forming a chelate reinforced methacrtylate network

limited removal of smear layer or significant infiltration into the tooth suface (only a couple of microns)

good bond strength to dentine

235
Q

self etching composite resin luting agents

bond to enamel vs dentine vs ceramics vs metals

A

enamel

  • lower than dentine
  • should be etched with acid prior to application

dentine

  • better than to enamel
  • no need to etch

ceramics

  • brand specific - RelyX unicem bonds quite weel to sandblasted Zirconia

metal

  • better to non-precious metal
  • not good enough for ortho brackets
236
Q

temporary cements

A

dont fully set and remain soft so can be removed easily

prep must be physical

base

  • ZnO
  • start
  • mineral oil

accelerator

  • resins
  • eugenol or ortho EBA
  • carnuaba wax

wax weakens the structure of the set cement and makes it easier to remove

material can be modified to make it weaker still by incorporating petroleum jelly into the mixture

eugenol not used when permenanet cement willl be resin as it inhibits set

237
Q

addition cured silicones

polyvinylsiloxanes

elastomer imp material

A

N.B Contain PDS but some of the methyl groups replaced by Hydrogen and Vinyl hence termed PS instead of PDS

Base paste

239
Q

polyether components

A

base paste

  • amine terminated prepolymer for cross linking

polyether + sulphonate ester -> cross linked material

240
Q

3 phases of polyehter and sulphonate ester setting reaction

A

1) Activation > Sulphonate Ester ionises and provides cations (+) to the reaction
2) Initiation > Cations then open up Epimime rings in the prepolymer which releases a further cation
3) Propagation > The chain reaction of cation release continues and the now ionic prepolymers join to form a larger chain as the ions are passed along

A

flow under pressure - shark fin test

tear tensile strength on removal

rigidity on removal

247
Q

dimensional stablity for imp materials assessment

A

should be low setting shrinkage

thermal expansion/contraction should be low - due to the disparity in temp from the oral cavity to the outside environment

storage - some materials undergo synersis or imbibition causing dimensional change

248

255
Q

preparation of the canal for obturation

A

smear layer formed during preparation

  • organic pulpal material and inorganic dentinal debris
  • superifical 1-5μm with packing into tubules
  • bacterial contamination, substrate and interferes with disinfection

  • sonic and ultrasonic irrigation
  • watch apical control
256
Q

EDTA and NaOCl in canal

A

should never be in the canal at the same time

because the EDTA neutralises the effectiveness of the NaOCl

also forms papachloanailine which is cytotoxic and carcinogenic

  • easily manipulated with ample working time
  • seals the canal laterally and apically
  • non-irritant
  • impervious to moisture
  • unaffected by tissue fluids

258
Q

gutta percha is

A

natural rubber and GP are polymers of the same monomer - transpolyisoprene

comes in 2 forms:

  • α - used in themoplastic manipulation techniques, the natural occuring form and when heated above 65o becomes amorphous
  • β - more commonly used in cold lateral compaction - rapidly cooled and recrystalised alpha, used in commercially produced GP

GP formulations are 60-75% Zinc Oxide

inc a variety of other agents to allow them to be radiopaque on radiographs

  • GI sealers
  • resin sealers
  • calcium silicate sealers
  • medicated sealers
261
Q

ZOE sealer

A
  • effective antimicrobial
  • offers cytoprotection
  • resin acids are 90% of the colophony (Rosin) in the material and these are strongly antimicrobial and cytotoxic
  • altough toxic may be overall beneficial with longlasting antimicrobial effect and cytoprotection
  • formation of eugenolate consititutes hardening, this is accelerated by CaOH so this must be removed from the canals
  • remaining eugenol can act as an irritant
  • lose volume with time due to dissolution - resins can modify this
262
Q

GI sealers

A
  • advocated due to dentine bonding properties
  • removal upon retreatment is difficult

sargenti paste, endomethasone, SPAD

269
Q

how are investment materials used

A

wax pattern made (e.g. crown, inlay etc)

investment material poured around wax pattern and allowed to set (mould)

wax then eliminated (boiled out)

molten alloy is then forced into the cavity left by the wax via sprues prepared in the investment material

270
Q

components of all investment materials

A

refractory - silica (quartz/tridymite/crisotbalite)

binder - gypsum/phosphate/silicate

modifiers - change physical properties

271
Q

gypsum bonded material

A

Supplied as powders and mixed with water and silica and calcium sulphate hemihydrate with other components that control setting time

  • quartz withstands high temps and gives expansion

Thermal inversion is when the silica is heated so that it undergoes a phase transformation and expands (alpha > beta quartz)
Above 320oC there is contraction of the investment material which causes water loss, this can be reduced by modifiers like sodium chloride and boric acid

Heat Soaking

  • > 700​oC
  • CaSO4 + 4C ——> CaS + 4CO
  • (THEN) 3CaSO4 + CaS ——> 4CaO + 4SO2
  • Allow heat soaking to complete to allow gases to escape

Chemical stability

  • <1200​oC satisfies requirements
  • >1200​oC problems with sulphur trioxide production - causes corrosion and porosity in alloy castings
  • Therefore only allots with melting point of <1200 allowed
272
Q

phosphate bonded materials

A

Powder

  • Silica
  • Magnesium Oxide
  • Ammonium Phosphate

Liquid

  • Water
  • Colloidal Silica (increases strength, undergoes hygroscopic expansion)

Type 2 PBMs

  • RPDs and other cast removable restorations
  • Don’t require outer casting ring
273
Q

silica bonded materials

A
  • Powdered Quartz/Cristobalite bonded with silica gel
  • Silica gel becomes Silica and is a tightly packed mass of particles
  • Binder is usually Ethyl Silicate with Hydrochloric acid and Industrial spirit
  • the ethyl silicate is hydrolysed releasing alcohol and forming silica gel
  • the Hydrolysis and gelation can be accelerated by Piperidine but this causes alot of shrinkage
  • Ethyl silicate mediated materials dont dimensionally change on setting because they are Thermal expanders
  • their linear expansion = their linear thermal expansion unlike gypsum/phosphate

278
Q

dissolution phase for GIC

A

Acid into Solution
H+ ions attack the glass surface
Ca, Al, Na and F ions are released
Leaves silica gel around the unreacted glass

279
Q

gelation phase for GIC

A

Inital set due to Ca2+ ions cross linkinh w/ polyacid by chelation with carboxyl groups

Bivalent so can bind to two carboxyl groups

Chelation can happen twice on same molecule of polyacid (gels toonmuch?)

At this point the material will appear hard in the mouth (after a fewminutes) caused by formation of calcium polyacrylate

280
Q

hardening phase for GIC

A

Trivalent Aluminium increases crosslinking

Formation of Aluminium Polyacrylate

Helps mechanical properties greatly

281
Q

imp points for GIC setting

A

Must be moisture and dessication free i.e not too wet or dry

This is most important during the hardening phase

if not achieved aluminium will leach out- less cross linking, water lost from matrix if dessicated, saliva contamination causes excess water absorption = A WEAK MATERIAL

282
Q

A
  • Varnishes
  • Copal ether
  • Acetate
  • Resins

Poor Tensile strength

Lower compressive strength than composite (less than 50%)

Higher solubility than composite due to unprotected material during gelation phase

Usually seals well

Fluoride release (for short time)

Bonding**

e.g in Amalgam

Cavity base lining placed in bulk to block undercuts for metal restorations

lining for exposed dentine- promotes pulpal health

291
Q

liner as a pulp protection

protects from

A
  1. chemical stimuli - unreacted chemicals in filling material/pH of filling material
  2. thermal stimuli - exothermic setting of composite#heat conduction amalgam/gold
  3. bacteria + endotoxins - microleakage (against oral fluids and bacteria and their toxins ingressing between material and cavosurface margins)
292
Q

liner therapeuatic and palliative role

A

therapeutic role in calming down pulpal inflammation and promote healing

palliative reduce symptoms in pts with irreversible pulpitis

293
Q

ease of use for liners

A

should be command set

workable

easy to mix

294
Q

thermal properties

conductivity

A

how well heat energy is transferred through a material

Heat flow through a cylinder of unit cross sectional area with a temp difference of 1oC between both ends

Cavity lining should have as low thermal conductivity as possible!!

295
Q

thermal properties

thermal expansion coefficient

A

change in length per unit length for a rise of 1*C (in ppm*C-1)

Liner should match thermal coefficient of tooth!

GIC has better TEC than RMGI

296
Q

thermal diffusivity

A

similar to conductivity

measured in cm2/sec

Liners have similar or lower thermal diffusivity than enamel

Amalgam much higher than tooth tissue- hence use of liner

297
Q

A

High compressive strength

allows placement of filling without breakage

similar modulus to dentine

Radiopaque

Marginal seal

low solubulity

Cariostatic (fluoride release/ antibacterial)

298
Q

4 types of cavity liners

A

calcium hydroxide liner (dycal, life)

zinc oxide cements

resin modified zoe

GIC/RMGIC

299
Q

calcium hydroxide liner

A

dycal, life

Components

  • Base- Calcium Hydroxide, Zinc Oxide Filler, Plasticiser
  • Catalyst- Butylene glycol Disalicylate (reactive element), filler, radiopaquer

Setting reaction

  • Butylene glycol disalicylate + Zinc Oxide filler = chelation and at pH 12

Mode of action

  • irritates odontoblast layer- forms reparative dentine, calcium from pulp helps to form a bridge between pulp and dentine, high alkaline content is bactericidal
300
Q

zinc oxide cements used as cavity base

A

Zinc Oxide Eugenol- used as a cavity liner, PD dressing and root canal sealer

Eugenol can have obtundant effect (reduce dentine sensation) and reduce pulpal pain

*inhibits set of composite resin material!! shouldn’t be used!

Zinc Oxide + Eugenol= Zinc Oxide Eugenolate + Water
(Base) + (Acid) = (Salt ) + (Water)

301
Q

resin modified ZOE as cavity base

A

adds resin to the ZnO/Eugenolate matrix to reduce solubility

302
Q

can actually bond Amalgam to tooth as the bond goes Tooth—RMGI—Amalgam (it bond to rest.material)
Palliative cements- Base (seldom used)

303
Q

powder components of amalgam

A

50% by weight - mainly silver, tin and copper

  • Silver and Tin- intermetallic compound Ag3Sn
  • Copper- increases strength & hardness
  • Zn - scavenger during production - preferentially oxidises & slag formed / removed - some zinc free
  • *Hg in powder - (few materials)– “pre-amalgamated” alloys - react faster
304
Q

liquid amalgam components

A
  • Hg (50% by weight)

triple distilled (very pure) – reacts with other metals

305
Q

A

lathe cut (coarse medium or fine) - formed by filing ingots

spherical/spheroidal - range of particle sizes, formed by sparying molten metal into inert atmosphere

306
Q

setting reaction for amalgam

A

Silver/Tin Powder reacts with Liquid Mercury

Some unreacted Silver/Tin Powder remains

Silver Mercury (y1) and Tin Mercury (y2) form amalgam matrix

Modern amalgam sets with a small amount of contraction (due to a solidsolution of mercury forming in with the Silver/Tin (only -0.2% contraction so very small)

307
Q

effect of Zn in amalgam clinically

A

Zn + H20 (saliva) -> ZnO + H2 (gas)

Hydrogen gas causes pressure expansion of amalgam

downward pressure = pulpal pain

upward pressure= sitting proud of surface - chipped off
∴ Zinc free materials!

308
Q

factors affecting Amalgam strength

A

Amalgam strength usually ok after 24 hrs however is decreased by the following

  • Undermixing
  • Too high Hg content after condensation
  • poor condensation pressure
  • slow rate of packing- increments dont bond
  • corrosion by oral fluid
309
Q

corrosion of amalgam

A

y2 most electronegative (tin and mercury)

this weakens amalgam particularly at the margins

orrosion products may actually hep with sealing margins

reduce corrosion by

  • copper enriched materials
  • polishing margins
  • avoiding galvanic cells (stops random redox reactions from occuring due to two different metals with different electronegavity contacting)
310
Q

Cu enriched amalgams

A
  • Gives higher early strength
  • Less creep
  • Higher corrosion resistance
  • Increased durability of margins

either

  • single composition formulations
  • dispersion modified setting reaction
