Configuration-factor (C-factor)

A. Put a material on top of a glass and this material shrink

If it freely shrinks, it will shrink twd the bonded area

The other areas are all free so the material can shrink freely

Not much stress in bw.

B. Two glasses are set just like the walls of the tooth

The wall cannot move

If you put material in bw, it will try to shrink during polymerization

But they can’t pull two walls together

Can only shrink from free surface

This will create a stress

We classify preps based on shape

Depends on where decay is

Occlusal filling: only free surface is occlusal surface

Veneer: not that much stress

The more walls you have, when you put material in, the material will get more restricted.

If the free surface is very small, this will create a lot of stress

Calculation of C factor

Bonded Surface/Unbonded surface

Tells you how much stress you wil get

        • To offset polymerization stress
A

Ways to overcome/offset polymerization shrinkage

Currently we still use this material

Develop new resin matrix systems

With new polymerization mechanisms

Modify existing resin systems

We were using very big material

This will reduce the fcnal group (the double bond) in the whole molecules

Add more inorganic fillerAbout 2-3% vol polymerization shrinkage

Even when we do all that

We just have to deal with it

Less resin in material and less shrinkage will happen

How do we deal with itUse bonding agent

Hold material in place

If you cannot bond well, you can’t use this material!

Incremental application techniqueWe don’t put all of it into prep all at once

We try to offset so of the stress

Bond to two surfaces at a time

Let it shrink

Then add another layer

Let it shrink

When first layer shrinks, it will have a little more unbounded area

It will give you more space

Shrinkage will be offset by second layer

This is another way to reduce stress, especially when you build up a large restoration

Incremental also used because this a light curing material

Light cannot penetrate too deep thru material

Resin composites are not transparent
Max thickness we use is about 2 mm

Take our time to do restorations

Takes longer than amalgam

‘Soft-start’ light curing process

Curing lights have different modes

Soft start:

When we do polymerization, stress happens when the material has already set and is still trying to shrink

In the beginning when material still manipulable, when the material shrinks, the molecules can still move so there will be less stress.

Stress offset by the movement

Cure slow

When the material can still move it will cure a little bit more

When it doesn’t move anymore it will start to cure

To offset polymerization stress

A

Eugenol

Long history of using this material as a soothing material

When tooth gets irritated, we use eugenol containing material to sooth the effects

We hope the pulp can calm down and is still alive

But eugenol does inhibit the polymerization

Wont allow it to polymerize as fully as possible

Think about this when you do a termporization for your prepSometimes we can’t finish prep in one setting

Have to add temporary and let the patients go

If you use eugenol containing material to temporize, it will affect polymerization of composite later one

If you are still going to cut that layer off, then its probably okay

If you are not cutting and about ready to do fillings, probably choose a different material

Light source

Intensity

Distance

How far away are you from surface you are about to cure

Curing time

20-40 s

You need to cure adequately to get best possible polymerization

Wavelength

Associated with the initiation system

Different initiation systems.

Each comes with different wavelength.

The most commonly used one have wavelengths in blue light range

That’s why when you see curing light it shines blue

That material has tendency to change color over timeManufacturers are trying to change the initiation sys to improve the esthetics

The color stability

They are using different initiation systems and that may not be compatible with light source you are using

Right now we are using LEDà very narrow wavelength

May not be compatible with material you are using

Shade

Influences light penetration

Darker shade will reflect light more so will penetrate less.

You will need a thinner layer than translucent shade

Keep these factors in mind to get best possible polymerization

Fully polymerized direct resin composite has a degree of conversion of about 60-70%.

About 60-70% of the double bond is polymerized

This is best we can get from direct restorative material

If this material is cured indirectly, it can achieve a little bit more.

Note: After 5s the material is hard. Patient wont know

Service time of this restoration will be much less then if you cure it fully

Even if you cure fully, its only 60%

Saves dentist time but that is not responsible

  • You need to take a longer time to do composite than amalgam.
  • If you cant achieve good bonding, its very easy to get secondary decay
    • Saliva, blood
    • Need to dry area to get reliable bonding
  • Clinically you don’t see anything but there is a hidden problem
  • Bonding agents.
    • They are ___
    • Surface will be ___
    • But you are adding resin which ____ the % fillers of the surface
A

Clinical Implications – Technique SensitiveBuild a strong bond between tooth and resin composite

Ideal isolation

Proper bonding procedure

Cleaning lesion surfaces

Drying dentin: leave moisture

Application of bonding components

Removing bonding system solvent

Visible light curing techniques

Composite increments

Do NOT use adhesive to smooth the contour of dental composite restorations!

You need to take a longer time to do composite than amalgam.

If you cant achieve good bonding, its very easy to get secondary decay

Saliva, blood

Need to dry area to get reliable bonding

Clinically you don’t see anything but there is a hidden problem

Bonding agents.

They are resin

Surface will be smooth

But you are adding resin which reduces the % fillers of the surface

  • Posterior
    • ____ to ___ size
  • Cervical ___
    • when margins ___ ___ or ___ is possible
  • Core ___ ___
    • when enough tooth structure available for ___
  • ____ this is the method of choice
  • If its subgingival, you need to be able to____
  • Only use when you have enough tooth structure for____
A

Indications

Anterior

Posterior

small to moderate size

Cervical lesion

when margins supra-gingival or isolation is possible

Core build-up

when enough tooth structure available for bonding

Esthetically this is the method of choice

If its subgingival, you need to be able to isolate.

Only use when you have enough tooth structure for bonding

Q

Advantages of Dental Resin Composites

  • E____
  • C____
    • Amalgam: we have to __ __ ___ bc of property of the material
    • For composite you can be more conservative
  • E___ tooth preparation
  • Reduce the amount of _____ in dental office/environment
  • ____/____ insulator
A

Advantages of Dental Resin Composites

Esthetic

Conservative

Amalgam: we have to extend our prep bc of property of the material

For composite you can be more conservative

Easier tooth preparation

Reduce the amount of mercury in dental office/environment

Thermal/electrical insulator

25
Q

Contra-indications

  • ___to material compositions
    • Most likely the patient is allergic to the ___ material
    • ___ ____ and you can still use the material
  • ___ bearing / ___ restorations
    • Posterior ___ ____replacement
    • Para-function: ___, ___
  • ___ ___ ____ where can’t control ____/___ contamination
A

Contra-indicationsAllergic to material compositions

Most likely the patient is allergic to the uncured material

Isolate well and you can still use the material

Load bearing / large restorations

Posterior functional cusp replacement

Para-function: bruxism and clenching

Sub-gingival margins where can’t control moisture/blood contamination

26
Q

Flowable Composites

  • Reducing the filler content
  • Adding other modifying agents, such as surfactants, which enhance the fluidity while avoiding a large reduction in filler content that would significantly reduce mechanical properties and increase shrinkage.
  • Manufacturer made this material to meet requirement of dentist
  • Thick material sticks to material
  • Reduced filler content
A

Flowable Composites

Reducing the filler content

Adding other modifying agents, such as surfactants, which enhance the fluidity while avoiding a large reduction in filler content that would significantly reduce mechanical properties and increase shrinkage.

Manufacturer made this material to meet requirement of dentist

Thick material sticks to material

Reduced filler content
