Luting Agents Flashcards
What are the different mechanisms of adhesion?
- Mechanical
- Physical
- Chemical
What is the simplest form of adhesion?
Mechanical
Which adhesion is from interlocking of components?
Mechanical
Which adhesion involves 2 surfaces in close proximity?
Physical Adhesion
Through dipole-dipole interaction between polar molecules
What type of bonding is rapid, reversible and not suitable for permanent bonding?
Physical Adhesion
What happens with chemical adhesion?
- Molecules dissociate after adsorption onto the surface and constituent component then bond themselves separately by covalent or ionic forces
Which adhesion involves the sharing of electrons between the 2 atoms?
Chemical Adhesion - which distinguishes it from physical adhesion
What are the different adhesion promotors?
- Coupling agents
- Primers
How do coupling agents differ from primers?
- Coupling agents
- Bonds to both materials involved
- Silane
- Primers
- Modifies the surface of one of the two materials involved so a bond can be created
- Rely-X Ceramic Primer
What is a material that fills the gap between the tooth and the indirect restoration and holds them together called?
Luting agent
What are some desired properties of luting agents?
- Good working/setting properties (long working time, short setting time)
- Adheres well to tooth and restoration
- Good seal
- Biocompatible
- Good tensile and shear strength
- Compressible
- Low film thickness (25 microns or less)
- Low viscosity/solubulity
What are the types of cements?
- Provisional/temporary cement
- Permanent cement
What are the zinc-oxide based, self cure provisional cements?
- Tempbond
- Tempbond NE
- TempoCem
- Tempocem NE
What are the resin based, dual cure provisional cements?
- Tempbond Clear
- Provilink
What type of paste is tempbond/tempbond NE?
