what design is needed for amalgam
- undercut
- mechanical retention
what are some material failure mechanisms
also elasticity - ability of material to recover its dimensions following stress application
is enamel bonding easy if so why ?
enamel bonding is easy due to the structure of enamel
- heterogeneous structure: densely packed prismatic
- highly mineralised: 95% inorganic
- ‘dry’
how does acid etch work
- long enamel prisms packed with hydroxyapatite crystals
- acid roughens the surface of enamel
-allows micro mechanical interlocking of resin filling materials - this increases surface energy by removing surface contaminants leading to better wettability of enamel
- resin adapts better but enamel must be dry
- 35% phosphoric acid
what is usually applied after etch for enamel
- low viscosity Bis-GMA resin
penetrates into rough surface and light cured
-this polymerises and allows strong bond of composite
what is dentine composition
- 20% organic (collagen)
-70% inorganic (hydroxyapatite) - 10 % water
-full of permeable tubules - low surface energy
- hydrophilic
- aged dentine more mineralised
- smear layer
requirements of dental bonding agents
- ability to flow
- potential for intimate contact with dentine surface
- low viscosity
- adhesion to substrate
- mechanical
- chemical
- Van der Waals
- combination of the above
- usually hydrophobic
how is mechanical bonding in dentine achieved
- DBA and dentine surface meshing and interlocking with minimum gaps
how is chemical adhesion achieved in dentine
mineralised dentine - ionic bond
organic dentine - covalent bond
how is van Der Waals adhesion achieved
based onelectrostatic or dipole interaction between bonding agent and substrate
- strength depends on contact angle
<90 degrees = hydrophilic
what is critical surface energy
the surface tension of a liquid that will just spread on the surface of a solid
liquid must have lower surface energy than surface its being placed on
how does DBA work with critical surface energy
- dentine low surface energy
- for composite to stick dentine must have higher critical energy
-DBA increase this = surface wetting agent
how does bonding through molecular entanglement work
-adhesive is absorbed onto the surface but can also penetrate into the surface of the dentine
- the absorbed component can form a long chain polymer
- this polymer meshes with the substrate - molecular engtanglement - leading to high bond strength
what is smear layer
-layer of organic debris on dentine during prep
- 0.5-5 microns thickness
- got bacteria
need to remove by total etch or self etch
what was bonding mechanism in earlier dentine bonding agents
ionic bond to the calcium in the dentine by the chlorophosphate or hydroxyl group
how is smear layer removed/modified
- total etch
- self etch
what does total etch do
- remove smear layer
components of total etch
35% phosphoric acid
primer ; adhesive part which is hydrophobic/hydrophillic
adhesive ; resin penetrates into dentine surface attaching to primers hydrophobic surface
what is dentine conditioner
- phosphoric acid
-removes smear layer - opens dentinal tubules
-decalcifies uppermost layer of dentine
what is a primer
-adhesive component
- hydrophilic end to bond to hydrophilic dentine
- hydrophobic end bonds to resin
- spacer group = flexible
- molecule is dissolved in suitable solvent
what is adhesive
BIS-GMA and HEMA
hydrophobic
filler particles make stronger
contains camphorguinone to allow light cure
penetrates primed dentine which is now hydrophobic
micro mechanical bond - molecular entanglement
forms the hybrid layer of collagen and resin
total etch problems
-over etch - collapse of collagen fibres , too deep etch
moisture dependent - moist dentine gives good bond
what is self etching primer
- infiltrate and incorporate into smear layer
- not as technique sensitive but not as strong bond
how does self etch primer work
- contain acidic methacrylate monomer
- bifunctional monomers which infiltrate the dentine with hydrophilic end while polymerising at hydrophobic end
- create amorphous calcium chelate on surface
-smear layer disollved but then incorported into hybrid layer
what is AD concept
-adhesion decalcification concept
Iinitially all acid monomers bond to the calcium in HA ionically
- whether they stay bonded depends on the stability of the HA-monomer bond
- Monomers with lower pK (not necessarily pH) do not form a stable bond as they continue to dissolve HA
- this leads to a hybrid layer with unstable calcium phosphates incorporated
smear layer problems
- smear layer is thick then mild self etch may not penetrate
what is mild self etch
- mild self etch only partially demineralises the dentine
- HA crystals remain around the collagen
- protective against hydrolytic breakdown
- remaining Ca ions allow ionic bonding
benefits of self etch
- less technique sensitive
- no rinsing
- no excessive drying
- no dentine collapse leading to low bond strength
- simulatenous demineralisation and resin infiltration
- less chance of post-op sensitivity
disadvantages of self etching bonding agents
- there is great variability between products with regard to initial pH of the solution
- the difference in pH results in different etch and different penetration of resin
- those materials with a lower initial pH may not etch enamel efficiently
- there is little evidence of stronger bond to dentine than with total etch

what makes up resin in composite
- Bis-GMA - reaction product of bisphenol-A and glycidyl methacrylate
- urethane dimethacrylates
- undergoes free radical polymerisation
what is camphorquinone
– activated by blue light
- produces radical molecules
- these initiate free radical addition - polymerisation of Bis-GMA
- leading to change in resin properties (ie increased molecular weight, so increased viscosity, and strength)
what are low weight dimethacrylates
- TEGDMA
- added to adjust viscosity and reactivity rate
- give some control over products characteristics
what is silane coupling agent
- good bond between filler particle and resin is essential
- normally water will adhere to glass filler particles, preventing resin from bonding to the glass surface
- a coupling agent is used to preferentially bond to glass and also bond to resin
what happens when smaller filler particles are in composite
-adding smaller particles achieves a greater volume uptake
effect of adding smaller filler particles
- improved mechanical properties
strength,rigidity,hardness,abrasion resistance - low thermal expansion (still not perfect)
- lower polymerisation shrinkage (still a problem)
- less heat of polymerisation (but not negligible)
- improves aesthetics

- depth of cure is depth at which hardness is 80%
what happens if composite isn’t placed in increments
- soggy bottom
-poor bonding to tooth
what is a bulk fill composite
- lucerin initiator as well as camphorquinone
- has different optical absorption specturm hence UV and blue light needed to polymerise and cure material fully
problems with light curing
- overexposure
- premature polymerisations
-depth of cure - setting time too short
-polymerisation shrinkage

zinc oxide based cements
palliative cements
what is in setting calcium hydroxide
- base - calcium hydroxide, zinc oxide, plasticiser
-catalyst - butylene glycol disalicylate (reactive element) , filler and radiopaqur
what is the setting reaction of CaOH
- the setting reaction is a chelation reaction between the ZnO and the butylene glycol disalicylate
- this results in a cement with an initial pH of around 12
what is mode of action of CaOH
- bactericidal
-irritation causing tertiary dentine formation
properties of CaOH
- quick setting time
- radiopaque
- easy to use
- low compressive strength
- poor solubility
- unstable and soluble
- if the cavity leaks then the lining will disappear
- it may even disappear just because it is in contact with moist dentine
what are zinc oxide based cements
- zinc phosphate
- zinc polycarboxylate
- zinc oxide eugenol (ZOE)
- resin modified ZOE
- ethoxybenzoic acid (EBA) ZOE
what is ZOE used for
- linings/base in deep cavities
- under amalgam restorations
- temporary restorations
- resin modified or EBA ZOE
- root canal sealer
- slow setting 24hrs
- periodontal dressings
- fast setting, 5 minutes
what is the ZOE reaction
base - ZnO
acid - eugenol
chelation reaction
ZOE properties
- adequate working time
- relatively rapid setting time
- can be modified by addition of accelerators
- sets quicker in the mouth due to moisture and heat
- low thermal conductivity
- low strength around 20MPa
- weak hydrogen bonds between the eugenolate molecules
- not strong enough to use as a base beneath an amalgam filling. the packing pressure would damage it
- radiopaque
- high solubility
- eugenol is constantly released
- this is good and bad
- eugenol is replaced by water which leads to disintegration of the material BUT
- eugenol when liberated has an obtundant effect on the pulp and can reduce pain
- the released eugenol inhibits the set of resin based filling materials. it softens them and can cause discolouration
- ZOE materials should not be used under composite resin materials
resin role in resin modified ZOE
- these do not take part in the reaction but give a stronger backbone to the set material
- this increases the compressive strength to >40MPa making it suitable as a cavity lining
-makes crack propagation harder
glass ionomer lining properties
- thermal conductivity and diffusivity are lower than dentine for both GIC and RMGIC
- thermal expansion is similar to dentine for GIC
- compressive strength is >170MPa, higher than any of the ZnO based materials
- most materials are radiopaque, the radiopacity varies between materials
- marginal seal is better than any of the other materials as there is a chemical bond to enamel and dentine
- they are the only material to predictably seal dentinal tubules. this decreases micro-leakage and helps prevent post treatment sensitivity
- solubility is greater for GIC than RMGIC and is greatest initially
- however, GIC materials are less soluble than any of the other liners apart from Zinc phosphate cement
- RMGIC is less soluble than any other cement
- can bond to amalgam

what is the acid in GI
- poly acrylic
- tateric acid
what size of particles in GI needed for luting cements
<20um required for luting cement to give a low film thickness. The smaller the particle size the quicker the setting reaction and the more opaque the set cement.
setting reaction in GI
- dissolution
-gelation
-hardening
dissolution phase in GI reaction
gelation phase in GI reaction
- initial set is due to calcium ion crosslinking with the polyacid by chelation with the carboxyl groups
- calcium ions are bivalent so they can react with two molecules joining them
- crosslinking is not ideal as the Ca can chelate with two carboxyl groups on the same molecule
- this intial set is caused by formation of calcium polyacrylate
- following this reaction the material will appear hard in the mouth
hardening reaction in GI
- trivalent aluminium ioins ensure good crosslinking with an increase in strength
- aluminium polyacrylate formation takes a long time
- this process does not start for at least 30 minutes and can take a week or longer to be complete

what is coring
prevents atoms diffusing through lattice
causes CORING
causes concentration gradient
as composition varies throughout grain.
how is coring resolved
Homogenising Anneal- anneal to gently heat and vibrate atoms, help atoms to diffuse (below recrystallisation temperature) to reduce
the coring but not altering the grain structure allowing a more homogenous proportion of metal right the wat through its depth
dislocation in alloys
- in metals the defect rolls smoothly over the lattice along the slip plane
- in alloys the defect has to ‘fall’ into the space between large and small atoms and climbs over the atoms along to 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
what are eutectic alloys
Eutectic- when an alloy melts at a temperature higher than that of its individual metals (together- stronger)
- physically distinct grains
- soluble in liquid state
- insoluble in solid state
- *UNUSUAL IN THAT IT IS AN ALLOY WHICH COOLS AT A SINGLE TEMPERATURE NOT OVER A RANGE!

- Occurs when s/steel temp between 500 - 900 0C
- pushes Chromium carbides to precipitate at grain boundaries
- alloy becomes brittle
- less manipulation of wire to match desired configuration
- less chromium in central region of solid solution
- more susceptible to corrosion
solution to weld decay
- low carbon content steel
-stabilised SS - small amounts of titanium forms carbides
advantages of SS denture base
- Thin 0.11mm - acrylic 1.52mm
- Light
- Fracture resistant
- Corrosion resistant
- High polish obtainable
- High thermal conductivity
- High impact strength
- High abrasion resistance
disadvantages of SS denture base
- Possible dimensional inaccuracy (contraction of die not matched by model expansion)
- Elastic recovery of steel – inaccuracy
- Damage of die under hydraulic pressure
- Loss of fine detail during the many stages
- Difficult to ensure uniform thickness
- Uneven pressure on die and counter die~~~> wrinkling of steel
difference between decorative and dental ceramic
composition of dental ceramic
- feldspar
- silica
-borax
-koalin - metal oxides
setting reaction of dental ceramics
vitreous pgase
- feldspar breaks tetrahedral silica
- forms 2d structure
- feldspar lowers fusion and softening temp of the glass
-forms solid mass around other components
fusion
-feldspar reacts with kaolin and forms a leucite when headed at 1150-1500
-molten mass is quenched and ground to a powder (grit)
sintering
- heating leads to sintering
-occurs just above glass transition temp
- glass phase softens and coalesce
-contraction of about 20%
properties of ceramics
- aesthetics - good
-chemically stable
-good biocompatibility
-thermally similar to tooth
-dimensionally stable
-hard
problems with ceramics
- surface microcracks
-static fatigue
what metal copings can be used for ceramic
- alumina core
-zirconia core
alumina core in porcelain
Core material in PJCs
Better flexure strength than feldspathic porcelain
alumina particles stop cracks propagating
however its opaque so cant be used as a restorative material
zirconia core in porcelain
- diff forms at diff temps
- zirconia doesn’t sinter unless heated to over 1600
- yttria-stabilised zirconia
- yttrium is tetragonal and zirconia is monoclinic
-prevents chrack
what is cast/pressed ceramics
- wax up
-invested
-cast from heated ingot of ceramic - heated to improve crystal structure - ceraming
either
- lithium dislocate glass
-leucite reinforced glass
what is ceraming
- Stage 1 crystal formation maximum number of crystal nuclei are formed
- Stage 2 crystal growth to maximise the physical properties
what ceramics are best to use in diff areas of mouth
posterior - zirconia
anterior - LiDiSi
anterior bridgework - LiDiSI
long span bridge - zirconia
what are luting crowns
ideal properties of luting agent
- viscosity/film thickness - low to allow restoration to sit , 25 microns
- easy to mix
-short setting time - impenetrable bond
- low solubility
- high compressive, tensile, harndess
- YM similar to tooth
types of cements
dental cement
- zinc phosphate
-zince polycarboxate
GIC
- conventional
- RMGIC
- composite retin luting agents
zinc phosphate composition
powder
- zinc oxide
-magnesium dioxide
- other oxides
liquid
- phosphoric acid
-aluminum oxide
-zinc oxide
setting reaction of zinc phosphate
- acid base
- hydration reaction - crystallised phosphate matrix
properties of zinc phosphate
- low initial ph - pulpal irritation
-exothermic setting reaction - not adhesive to tooth
-not cariostatic
-final set takes 24 hrs - brittle
- opaque
zinc polycarbonate cement properties
- has polyarylic acid
- bonding to tooth similar to GIC
-less exothermic - ph is low but increases
-cheap
BUT
- difficult to mix and manipulate
-opaque
GIC properties (CEMENT)
- particle size of glass smaller
bonds to tooth through ion exchange and hydrogen bonding
-ease of use
-strong
-flouride release
-insoluble once set
- stable
RMGIC (CEMENT)
same as GIC but resin properties too
- Shorter setting time
- Longer working time
- Higher compressive and tensile strengths
- Higher bond strength to tooth
- Decreased solubility
however
- HEMA cytotoxic
-no bond to indirect restoration
composite luting agents
- variants on composite filling materials with suitable viscosity and filler particle size
- need to be used with DBA
- can be dual cured or light cured
composite luting agents bonding to indirect composite
- composite bonds to composite
- micromechanical bonding occurs on rough internal surface of composite inlay
- bond is also chemical to remaining unbroken c=c bonds on inlay surface
composite luting agents bonding to porcelain
- porcelain is brittle needs to be bonded to tooth to prevent fracture
-untreated porcelain smooth and non-retentive - HF to etch surface
-rough retentive surface but still not hydrophobic and compatible with resin luting agents
use SILANE coupling agent
- allows strong bond between silicon group in porcelain and base carbon
if thin - light cure composite
if thick - dual cure composite
bonding to metal (composite luting agent)
- need to be roughened -
- etching/sandblasting
- electrolytic etching
bonding to non-precious metal (luting agent)
- MDP and 4 meta
- acidic end and c=c end
bonding to precious metal (luting cement)
- change precious alloy composition to allow oxide formation
-increase copper content
-sulpher based bonding agent
self adhesive composite resin
- metal coupling agent incorporated into resin
-simplifies bonding process- Acidic groups bind with calcium in hydroxyapatite forming a stabilising attachment between the tooth and the resin
- Ions from dissolution of filler neutralise the remaining acidic groups forming a chelate reinforced methacrylate network
- Limited removal of smear layer or significant infiltration into the tooth surface. (only a couple of microns)
- Good bond strength to dentine
self adhesive composite resin bonding to materials
- Bonding to Enamel
- Lower than to dentine: should be etched with acid prior to application
- Bonding to Dentine
- Better than to enamel: should not be etched with acid prior to application
- Bonding to Ceramics
- Brand specific. RelyX unicem seem to bond quite well to sandblasted Zirconia
- Bonding to Metal
- Better to non-precious
- Not good enough to cement ortho brackets
what are temporary cements
- two paste systems
-base - ZnO , starch
-accelatator - resin, eugenol , wax
chemistry of elastomers
- formed by polymerisation with cross-linking of polymer chains
-crosslinking - elastic properties, causes fluid to solid transition
polysiloxanes formula
Base paste
- polydimethylsiloxane - some methyl (CH3) groups replaced by hydrogen - filler - variations change viscosity
Catalyst paste
- polydimethylsiloxane - some methyl groups replaced by vinyl (CH2 =CH) - filler - variations change viscosity
