Quiz 1B Flashcards
Layer of debris (organic and inorganic material) that forms onto the enamel and dentin when prepared with rotary instruments?
smear layer
Layer a few microns thick and weakly adheres to the substrate; also lowers the surface energy?
smear layer
What must be removed or penetrated by the adhesive (usually by acid etching)?
smear layer
What is a strong acid solution, such as phosphoric acid solutions and gels 35-37%, that is also called conditioners?
etchants
Hydrophilic monomers to produce good wetting that is usually carried in a solvent (acetone, ethanol, water)?
primers
What component of the material of the bonding system is HEMA found in?
primer
What does the HEMA molecule look like?
has hydrophilic & hydrophobic end
Hydrophobic, dimethacrylate oligomers compatible with the primer and composite monomers (primary sources of color)?
adhesives
What are light cured, an activator like camphoroquinone and organic amine, or dual-cured catalyst for self curing?
initiators and accelerators
What gives bonding agents a higher bonding strength?
fillers
What are some other ingredients in the composition of bonding materials?
fluoride, antimicrobials (gluteraldehyde)
What occurs after etching primarily by micro-mechanical retention removing the smear layer HA crystals by dissolution?
enamel bonding
What indicates macro-spaces formed after enamel bonding?
frosty appearance
What forms by etching with phosphoric acid gel to aid enamel bonding?
macro and micro tags
What is more numerous and contributes most to micro-mechanical retention?
micro tags
