Q

COMPOSITE

What is the benefits/disadvanatges of smaller filler particle size vs. large ?

A
  • Small filler particles - better aesthetics, poorer mechanical properties.
  • Large filler particles - better mechnical properties, likely to stain and poorer aesthetics.

COMPOSITE

What is the function of resin ?

A
  • Resin is involved in setting reaction.
  • Long monomer chains with C=C.
  • Undergoes activation by photoinitiator.
  • Causes free radical polymerisation.
  • Crosslinking occurs generating monomer growth.
  • Which results in increased viscosity and mechnical properties.
  • Hydrophobic end also bonds with DBA.

Q

COMPOSITE

What is the purpose of camphorquinoine ?

A
  • Photoinitiator.
  • Acivtated by blue light.
  • Causes release of free radical which initiates free radical polymerisation of resin.
  • Resulting in increased molecular weight, viscosity and mechnical properties.

Always some unreacted monomer - risk of leaching and pulp irritation.

Q

BONDING SYSTEMS - COMPOSITE TO ENAMEL/DENTINE

How does acid etch improve bonding to enamel ?

A
  • Etch roughens long enamel prisms containing hydroxyapetite crystals - changing the structure to a ‘keyhole’ appearance.
  • Etch also increases the surface energy of enamel by removing the smear layer and increases surface wettability.
  • This allows micromechnical bonding of resin through interlocking.

Q

BONDING SYSTEMS - COMPOSITE TO ENAMEL/DENTINE

Explain why bonding to dentine is more difficult than bonding to enamel.

A
  • Non-inert surface and continuously releases water which prevents flow of DBA into the dentinal tubules and results in low surface energy.
  • There are also varying sizes/densities of dentinal tubules.
  • Also has smear layer.

Q

BONDING SYSTEMS - COMPOSITE TO ENAMEL/DENTINE

In what two ways does dentine bonding agent facilitate bonding between resin and tooth surface ?

A
  • Allows for interlocking forming mechnical bond.
  • Molecular entanglement occurs forming chemical bond.

Q

BONDING SYSTEMS - COMPOSITE TO ENAMEL/DENTINE

What are the three components of dentine bonding agent ?

A
  • Dentine conditioner.
  • Primer.
  • Adhesive.
  • Photoinitiator.
17
Q

BONDING SYSTEMS - COMPOSITE TO ENAMEL/DENTINE

What is the function of a dentine conditioner in DBA ?

18
Q

BONDING SYSTEMS - COMPOSITE TO ENAMEL/DENTINE

What is the purpose of primer (HEMA) in DBA ?

A
  • Forms hydrophillic bond with dentine (hydroxyl group and collagen).
  • Forms hydrophobic bond with resin (C=C).
19
Q

BONDING SYSTEMS - COMPOSITE TO ENAMEL/DENTINE

What is the purpose of adhesive (BisGMA or HEMA) in DBA ?

A
  • Helps with micromechnical bond by infiltating tubules and encourages molecular entanglement.
  • Forms hybrid layer by encorperating collagen and smear layer into bond.
20
Q

BONDING SYSTEMS - COMPOSITE TO ENAMEL/DENTINE

What is the difference between total etch vs. self etch ?

A
  • Total etch - removes entire smear layer.
  • Self etch - encorporates smear layer (organic materials) into bond, resulting in hybrid layer.

What are the benefits of using RMGI as cavity lining material ?

A
  • Bonds and seals dentine - prevents microleakage.
  • Resin filling materials can bond.
  • Low thermal conductivity & diffusivity.
  • Thermal expansion coeffient similar to dentine.
  • High compressive strength.
  • Provides good marginal seal.
  • Benzoyl idodines and bromides released as products from polymerisation reaction have bactericidal effects.

What is the main disadvantage of using RMGI as cavity liner ?

A
  • Possibility of unreacted monomer (HEMA).
  • Cytotoxic and causes pulpal irritation.
30
Q

CAVITY LINING MATERIALS

When should CaOH (Dycal) and RMGI (Vitrebond) be used ?

A
  • CaOH - direct or indirect pulp caps with RMGI over the top to prevent dissolution of CaOH.
  • RMGI on its own - on deep cavities under amalgam & composite restorations.
31
Q

CAVITY LINING MATERIALS

ZOE cavity lining can ONLY be used under what material ?

A

Amalgam - prevents resin setting in composites.

But poor compressive strength - not used first choice for cavity lining.
Can be used as temporary restorations, root canal sealant, PD dressings.
