JVD 2018 issue 1, Review of Dental Cements
Elastic modulus (EM) measures the ability of a material to resist elastic deformation under loading, representing the relative stiffness of the material within the elastic range.
What mechansims of adhesion are observed in restoration cements, and give examples of materials for each:
Non-adhesive
Micomechanical bond
Molecular bond
JVD 2018 issue 1, Review of Dental Cements
Nonadhesive: cement fills the restoration-tooth gap and holds by engaging in small surface irregularities - I.e. relies on geometric form of tooth preparation - zinc phosphate
Micromechanical: surface irregularities are enhanced through air abrasion or acid etching to provide larger defects – good for materials with large tensile strength – resins, resin-modified GIC
Molecular: bipolar Van der Waals forces and weak chemical bond (material ions bind to Ca of hydroxyapetite) - polycarboxilate, GIC
What is film thickness, and which materials have the relative higher and lower film thickness?
JVD 2018 issue 1, Review of Dental Cements
Aka viscosity of the dental cement
Low film thickness → improves setting of crown and decreases marginal discrepancies → reduces plaque accumulation, PD, cement dissolution and caries (humans)
Resins - highest
GIC - lowest
What reaction occurs to set glass ionomer (GIC)?
Acid-base reaction
reaction of (a basic) silicate glass powder and an ionomer liquid containing carboxylic acids (or polyacrylic acid). (They form ion cross-linked polymer matrices surrounding glass-reinforcing filler particles).
GIC/composite hybrid) using liquid water-free polyacid monomer in place of polyacrylic acid that leads to a polyacid-modified composite resin. These materials possess a combination of characteristics of composites and glass-ionomers- but are essentially polymer-based composites that have been modified to permit fluoride release from the glass phase.
