13
Q

variations - powder particle size

A

<20um for luting cement to give low film thickness

smaller=quicker setting reaction=more opaque set cement

Q

variations - molecular weight of acid

A

higher = better mechanical properties

but more viscous - difficult to mix

17
Q

dissolution

A

H+ ions attack surface of glass
Ca, Al, Na, F ions released
leaves silica gel around unreacted glass

18
Q

gelation

A

form calcium polyacrylate
Ca ions crosslink with polyacid by chelation with the carboxyl groups
Ca ions bivalent - can react with 2 carboxyl groups on the same molecule

19
Q

hardening

A

form aluminium polyacrylate
trivalent - better mechanical properties
takes long time

20
Q

protection

A

from moisture and desiccation following gelation
- when ‘set hard’ in mouth but before maturation begun
contamination
- excessive drying
- absorb water

protection at later date if working on other areas of mouth

21
Q

protection mechanisms

A

varnishes
resins - best
greases/gels e.g. vaseline

22
Q

handling

A

better now due to tartaric acid - working time similar but setting time shortened

23
Q

aesthetics

A

lack translucency (opaque)
increased silica content better
translucency improves over 24+ hours when extra X-linking
not suitable where aesthetics really important
once set less susceptible to staining and colour change than composite

24
Q

mechanical properties

A

poor tensile strength
low compressive strength
poor wear resistance
low hardness

25
Q

F release

A

can release F without damage to their structure
initial fluoride release but diminishes v quickly
F reservoir/sink - can take it up from the env then release when ambient conc falls

26
Q

bonding

A

bonds to E and D
low bond strength compared to composite
cohesive strength low
good sealing ability

chelation between carboxyl groups in cement and Ca on tooth surface
H bonding/metallic ion bridging to collagen
acid base reaction between poly acrylic acid and Ca ions in HA

27
Q

good bond requires:

A

clean surface

conditioned surface - polyacrylic acid

28
Q

physical properties

A
higher solubility than composite
 - dissolution during gelation
 - long term erosion by acids
no contraction on setting
lower modulus - cervical margin - flexing is good as tooth moves when bite
29
Q

thermal properties

A

good - expansion similar to dentine

30
Q

cermets

A

developed to overcome GI brittleness
silver added to glass to increase toughness and wear resistance
just ended up making a silver GIC

31
Q

disadvantages

A
brittle
poor wear resistance
moisture susceptible when first placed
poor aesthetics
poor handling characteristics
susceptible to acid attack and drying out over time
possible problems bonding to composite
32
Q

advantages

A
stable chemical bond to E and D
low microleakage
F release
good thermal properties
no contraction on setting
much easier to use than composite
33
Q

RMGIC chemistry

A

powder and liquid

34
Q

RMGIC chemistry - powder

A

barium glass (radiopacity)
vacuum dried polyacrylic acid
potassium persulfate (redox catalyst)
ascorbic acid
pigments
35
Q

RMGIC chemistry - barium glass

A

radiopacity

36
Q

RMGIC chemistry - redox catalyst

A

potassium persulfate

37
Q

RMGIC chemistry - liquid

A
HEMA - water miscible resin
polyacrylic acid with pendant methacrylate groups - acid base and polymerisation reactions
tartaric acid
H2O
photoinitiators
38
Q

RMGIC chemistry - tartaric acid

A

speeds setting

39
Q

RMGIC chemistry - H2O in liquid

A

allows reaction between poly acid and glass

40
Q

advantages of RMGIC

A
bonds to E and D
better physical properties
lower solubility
F release
handling
better translucency and aesthetics
41
Q

dual curing

A
acid base reaction
 - starts initially on mixing
free radical methacrylate reaction
 - light activation
 - complete 20s

acid base reaction continues within resin matrix for several hours

42
Q

tricuring

A

will set even if insufficient light penetration
- but in absence of light physical properties reduced by 25%

acid base
redox (continues around 5mins)
free radical methacrylate reaction

43
Q

RMGIC disadvantages

A

polymerisation contraction
exothermic setting reaction - both polymerisation and dark cure
swelling due to uptake of water - HEMA extremely hydrophillic
monomer leaching
reduced strength if not light cured
light curing slows down acid base reaction
benzoyl iodides and bromides can be released which are cytotoxic
moisture sensitive
