Q

How do glass ionomer cements

A

Acid base reaction between aluminium fluorosilicate glass particles and and a polyalkenoic acids liquid consisting of copolymers

24
Q

What is the compressive strength of GIC

A

90-230 MPa

25
What are the benefits of GIC
1. They adhere directly onto the tooth surface 2. Reduced micro leakage 3. Adequately low thickness 4. Releases fluoride 5. Less soluble than GIC so more resistant to water attack during setting
26
What does the setting of resin modified glass ionomer cement lead to?
Leads to formation of a merl polyacrylate salt and a polymer
27
How do resin modified glass ionomers harden
Acid base reaction Photo/chemcially imitated freer radical polymerisation of methacrylate units
28
Out of: Zinc phosphate GIC Polycarboxylate Resin modified GIC which has the highest compressive strength
RMGIC
29
What are the disadvantages of resin modified GIC
1. Hydrophilic nature of polyHEMA results in increased water sorption and plasticity 2. Potential for dimensional change means use with all ceramic feldspathic type restoration is a contra indication 3. Questions about how biocompatible it is due to free monomers and HEMA being present
30
Give examples of RMGIC
Rely X FujiCEM
31
How is rely x set
In 2 setting reactions: 1. An acid base reaction 2. a free radical polymerisation
32
What do the 2 pastes that make up RelyX have in them
Paste A: Fluoraluminosilicate glass, HEMA and reducing agent Paste B: methacrylate polycarboxylic acid
33
How do resin composite cements work
Via a BIS GMA resin+ methacrylates rection (Add Clarifier)
34
How are resin composure cements polymerised
Through photo chemically initiated mechanisms
35
Do resin composite cements bond straight to the tooth
YEs
36
What is the disadvantage of resin composite cements
polymerisation shrinkage can occur
37
What is the polymerise shrinkage of resin composite cements dependent on?
Cement type and thickness
38
What are resin composite cements filled by?
50-70% filled by weight with glass/ silica
39
What are the advantages of using resin composite cements
1. High compressive strength 2. Resistant to tensile fatigue 3. Virtually insoluble in oral environment 4. They give an improved marginal wear resistance
40
what happens if you increase the filler content in resin composite cements
High filler content: 1. increases viscosity 2. Reduces flow 3. Increases film thickness
41
When do we use resin compsoite cements
Aesthetic restorations ie: Resin onlays/ inlays All ceramic restorations Fibre reinforced composites
42
What can polymerisation stress lead to in resin composite cements
Polymerisation stresses may form gaps between the cement and the tooth
43
How do resin composite cements bond
Chemically
44
How can resin composite cements improve ceramic materials
Can be used to increase the fracture resistance of ceramic materials that can be etched and silanated
45
What happens when 4 META cements are combined with resin?
4 META cements show strong adhesion due to chemical interaction of resin with oxide layer
46
What are the products with MDP called?
Panavia
47
What is panavia
A cement that has MDP
48
Give some of the advantages of panavia
1. It bonds well to sandblasted non precious and tin plated surfaces 2. Good physical properties 3. Bonding is water resistant
49
Give some of the disadvantages of panavia
1. Bonds weakly to dentine 2. Highly technique sensitive 3. Highly air inhibited
50
How does rely x adhere to teeth
It is formulates to be self adherent and moisture tolerant
51
What are the benefits of RelyX being self adherent
Eliminates the need for separate priming, etching or bonding steps
52
Name the 2 mechanisms for the cements ability to bond to tooth surfaces
1. Self etching 2. Secondary reaction
53
How does self etching allow materials to bond to the tooth surface
Implies a lot of competing process until the methacrylate polymerise via light or self curing action to form a strong micro mechanical bond to the dentin and enamel
54
How do cements that work by secondary reactions bond to the tooth surface
The basic filler reacts with the acid in the presence of some water that is formed to produce a glass ionomer type chemical bond
55
List the ideal properties of a cementing material
1. Low film thickness 2. Long working time 3. Short setting time 4. High compressive strength 5. Low pulp irritation 6. Very low solubility 7. Very low micro leakage 8. Easy to remove excess 9. High retention
