Q

why are bonding systems used?

and when may they be used?

A

decrease micro-leakage

decrease sound tissue removal

application of orthodontic brackets

treat tooth defects and anatomy imperfections

application of bridges

Q

how does dentine bonding differ from enamel bonding?

A

enamel bonding is simpler as it is more inorganic - engage microporosities

dentine is tougher to bond to due to it being more organic

  • also pulpal risk
  • smear layer removal or incorporation needed

wets dentine and widens tubules for resin tags

Q

what is acid etch? what does it do? p/c?

A

30-40% phosphoric acid applied to enamel and dentine that creates 10-15um microporosities to facilitate bonding

cons include enamel and fluoride loss and increased tooth porosity

Q

how does an all in one etch and prime work?

A

etchant corrodes hydroxyapatite crystals and removes smear layer after a 3in1 has been sprayed post use.

hydrophilic primer attracts water out of dentinal tubules to allow for deeper composite tag penetration

an adhesive that creates a hybrid later on the floor of the cavity.
