Plastic restorations - Resin modified glass ionomer cements Flashcards
What is a resin modified glass ionomer?
it is close to a glass ionomer but has some resin it
What are the 2 hybrid materials?
compomer and resin modified glass ionomer
What are the advantages of resin based composites?
command set by visible light
better wear resistance
lower solubility
early compressive and flexural strength
good polishability
ability to retain its polish
What are the disadvantages of glass ionomer cements?
lower early strength
susceptibility to erosion
slower setting phase
risk detection
is resin hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
hydrophobic effectively
What are the constituents of RMGICS? (BASIC)
Are conventional glass ionomer cements and water-soluble resin and modified poly(acrylic acids)
What are olyacrylic acids?
they have pendant methacrylate groups or methacryloxy groups grafted onto the polyacid chain (copolymers)
= copolymers
What is the resin group?
usually HEMA
What is the glass ionomer part?
polyacid
tartaric acid
water
ion leachable glass
What is the resin part?
water soluble (miscible) monomer
What us HEMA?
SMALL HIGHLY REACTOVE MONOMER MOLECULE
Is glass ionomer hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
hydrophilic
What connects the hydrophobic resin composite and hydrophilic GI?
HEMA
What is the problem with HEMA?
it is a powerful dermatological sensitizer causing chemical dermatitis
What form is HEMA a hazard?
in the unset form, after polymerisation it is fine
