Q

what happens in the 1st stage of GIC setting reaction

A

Dissolution stage
▹ H+ ions from polyacid dissociate + attack the glass freeing the CATions (Ca2+ + Al3+)
▹ other ions released too (Na+, F-, silicon forms)
▹ 9Ca2+ + Al3+) - form complexes with tartaric acid + F-

Q

what is the action of tartaric action in the setting process

A

▹ tartaric acid complexes are stable up to a certain pH
▹ they hold cement forming ions ( ↑ working time) until acid is partially neutralised
▹ the ions released (complexes not stable) -> sharp set ( real↑viscosity growth)

Q

what happens in the 2nd stage of GIC setting reaction

A

Gelation + hardening stage

Q

why is it important to maintain right water balance for GIC + why it needs protection straight after placement

A

▹ early water exposure -> dissolution of reactive components (cross link ions)
▹ dehydration -> critical water loss to continue setting reaction
cement = poor properties

Q

how is adhesion/chemical bonding achieved for GIC cement

A

▹ tooth surface conditioned with PAA sol
