Lec 3 Bonding, Etching, Primer Flashcards
The process of attaching restorative materials, such as a bonded amalgam or a bonded composite resin, to the tooth by adhesion.
Bonding
The first step in the bonding process involves ___________ of the surface of the tooth or the ____________ to receive the material that will be bonded to it.
preparation; restoration
Conditioning the enamel or dentin with an acid.
Etching
Most commonly used acid is ____________ in concentrations ranging from ___________.
- phosphoric acid
- 10% to 38%
Removes mineral from the surface to create roughness.
Acid
Are usually applied with a brush, a small cotton pellet, or a small sponge.
Liquid etchants
Are usually applied by brush or dispensed from a syringe through a fine needle or brush tip.
Gel etchants
- The recommended rinsing time for acid gels is approximately _________ or longer.
- Rinsing times _____________ may not remove residual silica.
- 10 seconds
- shorten than 5 seconds
Rinsing times for liquid etchants can be shorter— ______ seconds.
5 to 10 seconds.
Surface Wetting
- ______________ creates a high surface energy.
- ____________ attracts contaminants and resin to the etched surface.
- Surface must be _________ if saliva contamination occurs.
- ___________ increases contact of the bonding resin with etched tooth structure.
- Acid etching
- High surface energy
- re-etched
- Good wetting
Enamel etching was introduced by?
Dr. Michael Buonocore (1950s)
Affects the prism core or prism periphery or both.
Enamel etching
Acid Solution affect the prismatic structure of the enamel by preferential removal of either? (3)
- prism core
- prism periphery
- both
An etched enamel surface as seen in this scanning electron micrograph has numerous ___________ that provide __________ and greatly increase the ___________ for bonding.
peaks and valleys
retention
surface area
