Q

Solvation Properties of Polymers

A

dependent on MW and cross linking

  • longer chain, higher MW dissolve slower
  • solvents break chains and take up space between them
  • crosslinking retards dissolution (makes it harder to dissolve)
  • swelling can effect fit, eventually shrinks

Q

Composite Classification

A
activation mode (light, chemical, dual cured)
usage (anterior, posterior, universal)
filler characteristics
30
Q

Filler Characteristics

A

particle size - small, microfilled, hybrid, traditional (large)
distribution

31
Q

A

obtain the smoothness of microfilmed and the higher mechanical advantages of large particle composites

32
Q

Hybrid Composites

A

(1) microfill (0.04um)

2) second particle - small (0.1-2um), middle (0.1-10um), large (1-20um

33
Q

Hybrid Flower Variation

A
  • more filler = packable, used where condensation is needed

- less filler = flowable, less viscous, higher shrinkage, water sorption, thermal expansion

34
Q

Polymerization Considerations

A

oxygen inhibition layer
degree of conversion
polymerization shrinkage
contraction stress

35
Q

Oxygen Inhibition Layer

A

oxygen diffuses into the resin and oxidizes the free radicals into peroxides, reduced monomer reactivity and less polymerization
-susceptible to staining
-reduced polymerization –> less strength
4-40um thick, uppermost layer

36
Q

Degree of Conversion

A

the % of C=C converted to single bonds in addition polymerization (typically 50-70%)

  • residual monomer could leach if unreacted
  • higher % more strength
37
Q

Polymerization Shrinkage

A

polymer organizes the monomers and they occupy less space, shrink - generally 2-5%
-leakage, secondary caries at the margin

38
Q

Contraction Stress

A

a pull on tooth structure from composite shrinkage

  • more conversion = more stress = higher stress
  • cavity configuration factor (C factor) - ratio bonded to unbonded, the higher the more stress
39
Q

How to Lower Contraction Stress

A

formulation (large monomers, non-bonded fillers, adding inhibitors to slow curing, different monomer systems)
liners to act as stress absorbers
limit constraints and curing in increments
horizontal, vertical, oblique increments of placement
light cure protocols (ramp, step, pulse, concept) to slow polymerization to allow for flow before gel point

40
Q

Do low shrink composites reduce shrinkage stress?

A

no, stress will still be present

41
Q

46
Q

Composite Properties: finishing and polishing

A

smooth surface will increase longevity, reduce plaque accumulation
abrasive discs, strips, cutting carbide, diamonds, stone, rubberized abrasives, pastes and powders

47
Q

Composite Properties: failure

A

0-5 years: composite failure

6-17 years: secondary caries

48
Q

56
Q

Light Activation

A

Camphorquinone (CQ) - photoinitiator and amine activator

Note: the spectral emission of the light curing unit should overlap the absorption spectrum of the photo initiator

57
Q

Light-Curing Reciprocity Law

A

comparable material properties will result as long as the same radiant exposure is obtained
-radiant exposure=irradiancextime

58
Q

Irradiance Variability

A

the light exiting light-curing units is not necessarily uniform

59
Q

Light Attenuation

A

light intensity decreases with distance, cure in layers 2mm or less

60
Q
