Q

How can we fix the smear layer?

A
  • use of dentine conditioner, usually 37% phosphoric acid but not always. This creates a demineralised surface layer approx 4um thick

Q

How can we bond hydrophobic resins to hydrophilic dentine?

A 
with the use of 
Hydroxyl groups -OH
Carboxyl groups -COOH
phosphate groups -P-(OH)3
- these bond with the amino groups in the collagen and the hydroxyl groupss in hydroxyapatite
  • bond to hydrophobic resins with methacrylate groups?
  • use a space to stick them together, long enough to prevent rigidity and allow both ends to bond freely
  • bifunctional monomer = polar group, spacer, methacrylate group

Q

What are the 3 stages to dentine bonding?

A
  1. Apply conditioner (removes smear layer and opens tubules)
  2. Apply primer - bonds to hydrophilic collagen and hydroxyapatite
  3. Apply sealer - seals tubules and bonds to the primer

Q

What do self etching primers do? (type 3)

A

Acidic monomers that etch and prime

The smear layer is dissolved, but not removed, collagen demineralised and infiltrates the collagen network

Q

What are the benefits of self etching primers?

A
  • no need to rinse or dry (more consistent results)

- can prevent marginal staining (caused by weak etching of enamel) by pre-etching enamel with phosphoric acid

Q

Which type of dentine bonding agent to use?

A

Type 1’s are the most difficult to use and require excellent technique

Type 2’s are almost equally difficult and the bond strength is (generally) worse

Type 3’s are quite simple to use and have good bond strength

Type 4’s are currently unpredictable as they are still quite new

20
Q

What is usually used as a dentine conditioner?

A

EDTA, Maleic acid, oxalis acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid

21
Q

What ideal properties should a direct aesthetic restorative material have?

A 
Safe for dental team and patient
Aesthetic
Durable, chemically stable and tasteless
Poor conductor of heat
Minimal tooth preparation
Easy to use
Cost effective
22
Q

What is the composition of dental composite resins?

A

The matrix component is typically a mixture of methacrylate resins (most commonly bis glycidyl methacrylate or bisGMA formed by the reaction of glycidyl methacrylate with bis-phenol A).
The filler is typically a silica (SiO2) powder.
Modern dental composites usually contain a photoinitiator (most commonly camphorquinone).

23
Q

What can dental composites be set by?

A

Chemical cure or light cure

24
Q

How does the chemical cure happen?

A

In chemical cure, two pastes are mixed (an activator with a free-radical initiator) but this approach is effectively obsolete in restorative materials.

25
Q

How does light cure happen?

A

Light activated systems contain a photoinitiator; setting is initiated by exposure to an appropriate lamp.
Camphorquinone is the most common. Activated at 470 nm – hence visible blue light is used

26
Q

what are the properties of dental composite resins?

A

Tough and relatively wear resistant.
Durable and insoluble.
Aesthetic (tooth coloured and translucent).
Possible to achieve a good bond strength with tooth tissue.
Relatively safe and biocompatible if handled correctly.
BUT hydrophobic so need bonding system to adhere to hydrophilic tooth tissue.

27
Q

What is composite resin?

A

A complex material in which two or more distinct, structurally complementary substances, typically ceramics, glasses and polymers, combine to produce structural or functional properties not present in any individual component

28
Q

How can you classify dental composite

A

Initiation technique
Heat-cure Self-cure Light-cure Dual-cure

Filler size
Macrofilled Microfilled Nanofilled Hybrid

Viscosity
Flowable Packable

Clinical application
Direct (Anterior/Posterior) Indirect

29
Q

What are the advantages of dental composite?

A

Aesthetics • Bonding to tooth structure • Tooth-sparing preparation • Less-costly and more conservative alternative to indirect restorations • Repairability • Reduced quantity of mercury exposure and the environmental release • Lack of corrosion

30
Q

What are the disadvantages of dental composite?

A

Composite shrinkage (up to 3%) and microleakage • Post-op sensitivity • Secondary caries • Chipping and lower wear resistance than amalgam • Technique sensitive • Adverse biological reactions

31
Q

What biological considerations are needed with dental composites?

A

Direct Composite resins
Oral lichenoid reactions Allergic reactions

Dentine bonding agents
Some pulpal reactions have been reported

Indirect resin-based materials
Allergic reactions in patients
Hand dermatitis in technicians

32
Q

What are the benefits of adhesion?

A

Creates a strong attachment to tooth tissue • Resists polymerisation shrinkage and minimises leakage • Tooth preparation limited to damaged/lost tooth tissue – no need for mechanical undercut • Supports weakened tooth structure • Optical integrity at cavity margins

33
Q

What is required for composite placement?

A

Access to and removal of diseased tissue
Minimal preparation at all times
Minor enamel bevelling to enhance bonding and aesthetics anteriorly
Clean dry field ESSENTIAL throughout bonding and placement:
• Rubber dam
• High volume suction
• Cotton wool rolls and/or “Dry Guard”
• Lip retractors
• Matrices

34
Q

What are the indications for use of composite?

A

Restoration of Caries • Repair of enamel and dentine fractures • Tooth wear rehabilitation • To mask mild discolouration • As a temporary restoration for indirect veneer preparations

35
Q

What are the contraindications for use of composite?

A

Where there is insufficient tooth structure and enamel present for bonding • Deep subgingival caries where moisture control is not possible • Indirect restorations may be more appropriate for severely damaged and heavily restored teeth • Allergic reaction to resin-based dental materials

36
Q

Why is bonding to dentine not as durable as bonding to enamel?

A

Heterogeneity of structure and composition of dentine
Dentin surface characteristics (after chemical treatment/cutting)
Bond strategy and physicochemical properties of the adhesives

37
Q

How does polymerisation shrinkage occur?

A

Monomer molecules bonding into a polymer network lose volume (take up less space ) - creates contraction

They exchange VDW’s in covalent bond spaces

38
Q

What can stresses from polymerisation lead to?

A

Shrinkage - bond failure and poor marginal adaptation
Gap formation between cavity and restorative material - bacterial penetration and pulpal damage
Leads to sensitivity, pain, recurrent caries

39
Q

What happens if you dry the dentine thoroughly?

A

Collagen collapses

Collagen forms very dense layer and primer cant penetrate and produce molecular entanglement = weak bond strength

40
Q

What chemical system occurs in type 4 (all in one) systems?

A

Methacrylate hydrolysed to give phosphoric acid ester groups bonded to methacrylate

41
Q

Why are nanofilled particles an advantage?

A

Nano particles can surround the bigger particles to avoid them being exposed and making the surface of the restoration rough

42
Q

How can you minimise polymerisation shrinkage of composite?

A

Fill in oblique increments

43
Q

What does algesic mean?

A

Pain producing substances

44
Q

What are intra-pulpal nerves classified by?

A

myelinated or unmyelinated
function
conduction velocity

45
Q

Which part of dentine is innervated?

A

Innner NOT outer

46
Q

Why are odontoblasts not considered receptors?

A

Resting membrane potential of OB show values is too low to be receptor and pain still felt after OB damaged

47
Q

What theory is the most likely mechanism for dentine sensitivity?

A

Hydrodynamic theory - fluid movement in tubules leads to mechanical distortion of underlying soft tissue
