Materials Science 3 Flashcards
SEALANTS
¢ Polymeric Coating to Protect Teeth
¢ Flowable Resin That is Light Cured
¢ Designed to Flow into Pits
¢ Seal Tooth Surface to Prevent Further Decay ¢ Etching is Recommended to Prepare Enamel ¢ Balance between Flow and Sealing Capability
SEALANT CHEMISTRY
Considered a Preventive Material
¢ Usually a BisGMA-TEGDMA system but no Filler
¢ Low Viscosity – Easy to Flow and Coat a Surface
BONDING
¢ Bonding is Mostly Mechanical
¢ Not Designed for Longevity
¢ Etching Creates a Clean, Rough Surface
BOND TO ENAMEL
Macrotags Interprism resin penetration ¢ Microtags Intraprism resin penetration ¢ Microtags provide the major retention
OXYGEN INHIBITION LAYER
¢ Oxygen Interferes with Radical Polymerizations
¢ Surface of VLC Materials are often Uncured
¢ For thin Layers such a Sealants more of a Problem
ADHESIVES
¢ Based on Composite Resin Chemistry
¢ Contains Acidic Groups to Promote Bonding ¢ Dimethacrylates that Are Visibly Light Cured ¢ Unfilled or Lightly Filled
REQUIREMENTS FOR GOOD BONDING
¢ Flowable
¢ Compatible With Both Surfaces Surface Energy
Forming Bonds or Interactions
¢ Mechanical Properties ¢ Long-Term Stability
Resin
Increase in Mechanical Properties = Increase in
Viscosity
Increased Filler Loading
Decreases Flowability (Increases Viscosity) Improves Mechanical Properties
BONDING TO TUBULAR DENTIN
Smear layer created from preparation Ground collagen and HA Adhered to surface ¢ Interferes with bonding
TRADITIONAL STEPS FOR DENTIN BONDING
¢ Etch
¢ Prime
¢ Adhesive
¢ Restoration
¢ 30 sec etch with 37% H3PO4
¢ Rinse
PRIMER
Hydrophilic Monomer
To Stabilize Dentin
Followed by Adhesive and Composite
TWO OR ONE STEPS
Most Current Adhesive Systems Require Only
One or Two Steps
¢ Combine Etchant and Primer
¢ Combine Etchant, Primer and Adhesive
¢ All These Components are Based on Methacrylate Monomers
CEMENTS, LINERS AND BASES
¢ In Dentistry Cements, Liners and Bases describe more of a Function than a Specific Class of Materials.
¢ Often There is Overlap Between the Function and Chemical Classification
¢ Cements also refer to a Type of Materials such as a Glass-Ionomer Cement
¢ Confusing because a Glass-Ionomer Cement can be used as a Base.
¢ Glass-Ionomers can be Cements and a Base
¢ Zinc Oxide Eugenol (ZOE) can be a cement, liner
and a Base
¢ Calcium Hydroxide can be a liner and a Base
Water-Based Cements
Glass-Ionomers
Resin Modified Glass-Ionomers Zinc Phosphate
Zinc Polyacrylate
