27
Q

in new products based on silaranes, ring opening occurs, producing what?

A

expansion that offsets shrinkage

still an overall contraction

28
Q

types of silaranes?

A

siloxanes - hydrophobicity

oxiranes - ring opening polymerisation

29
Q

how are they cationic cured?

A
camphorquinone - photosensitiser 
iodium salt
electron donor - decomposes iodium salt to an acidic cation
ring opening polymerisation
less shrinkage
30
Q

what kind of fillers can be used?

A

quartz
silica
glasses - aluminasilicate, borosilicate, barium oxide

31
Q

what kinds of coupling agents?

A

6-methacryloxypropylthimethaxyslane = gamma silane
difunctional - methacrylate characteristics - silane interacts and bonds with glass
good wetting = 1g->412m2

32
Q

if you increase the % of filler what happens to surface hardness?

A

increased surface hardness

33
Q

if you increase the % of filler what happens to the setting contraction?

A

decrease in % volume setting contraction

34
Q

if you increase the % of filler what happens to the thermal expansion?

A

decreased thermal expansion

35
Q

In what forms composites be activated chemically?

A

powder/liquid mixed
paste/liquid mixed
encapsulated

36
Q

early light set composite was?

composite light set today was?

A

early - UV

today - camphorquinone - protects eyes, sets a little under operating light

37
Q

how does camphorquinone cause setting?

A

yields the necessary free radicals to start polymerisation
becomes excited at 460-480nm (visible blue light)
most readily generated by quartz halogen lights

38
Q

how does shrinkage occur?

A

resins are susceptible to shrinkage on polymerisation
may be modified methacrylate or a chemical that on setting expands due to ring opening mechanism - e.g oxirane = expansion in resin volumes offsets to a degree the shrinkage

39
Q

what aspect of the filler controls the properties?

A

type
concentration
particle size/distribution

40
Q

resin and filler are useless without a?

A

coupling agent

41
Q

what does a coupling agent do?

A

transfers stresses generated under loading from rigid/brtille filler to more flexible and ductile polymer matrix

42
Q

what does the filler act as?

A

a shock absorber

43
Q

how are composites classified?

A

by mode of activation

filler particle size/distribution

44
Q

conventional composite particle size? by weight?

A

1-50micrometre

60-80% by weight

45
Q

microfilled composite?

A

0.01-0.1um

30-60% by weight

46
Q

hybrid?

A
mean = 0.04um 
hybrid
75% 1 
8% 2
total = 83-90 by weight
47
Q

nanocomposites?

A

particles less than 1um

48
Q

handling classifications?

A

packable - highly viscous, packaging = challenge

flowable - more fluid less filler

49
Q

intended clinical application

ISO 4049 type 1? type 2?

A

1 - cavities including occlusal surfaces

2 - all other polymer based filling and restorative material

A

increases

52
Q

what kind of set does composite have?

A

where does the setting contraction go towards?

A

not towards light source

56
Q

extended working time if activated how?

distance light from surface and use incremental curing

57
Q

physical properties of composite are reduced with what?

A

58
Q

what is considered to be more important than compressive strength?

A

reduced fatigue with porosity

reduced fatigue with coupling by 30%

65
