Q

What are the two different forms of manufactured dental composites? How do they come ?

A

Self curing and light curing

Come in syringes, comp yours, or in spills

19
Q

What are composites made of?

A

Mixture of two different classes of materials. Often called resins and may have glass particles as fillers. Contain pigments and chemicals that start the hardening process

Finer particles are coated with a coupling agent- silane

20
Q

What are mini fills?

A

Small, fine particles

21
Q

What are mid fills?

A

Larger particles, more strength made up of courts and other glasses containing barium, aluminum, zinc etc.

22
Q

What is the shelf life of hybrid composites when stored correctly?

A

Two years or longer. Heat or exposure to operatory lights can cause chemicals to react so light cured materials must be stored in the refrigerator.

Less important for self curing materials

23
Q

What do manufactures add to each paste to delay polymerization? What will this allow?

A

They add an inhibitor molecule

Provides ample working time of the material and ensures that the material will not prematurely harden during storage

24
Q

How are composites handled and mixed?

A

materials are folded into one another on a pad with a spatula for 15-20 sec

Working time is 1.5-2min after mixing. Setting takes place 4 min from start of mixing (quicker if in the mouth)

25
Q

What type of bulb is used in a light curing unit?

A

Halogen bulb that passes through a filter to maximize light energy

26
Q

What is recommended to place around anterior teeth before light curing when placing restorations?

A

A Mylar strip

27
Q

Why does the Mylar strip do?

A

Keeps oxygen away (O2 inhibits polymerization)

Helps produce a smooth, regularly shaped contoured surface (decreases finishing procedures)

28
Q

What type of reaction does hardening of the composite take place through?

A

A rapid, free radical polymerization reaction

29
Q

What is “snap set”

A

The rapid hardening of composite. Consistency of material remains the same throughout working time but viscosity increases quickly

30
Q

What’s the working time for self-curing deposits after mixing has begun?

A

2 minutes but reaction is not complete for several hours

31
Q

When does the most shrinkage occur with composites?

A

When polymerization is happening at a faster rate, pulling the material away from the tooth

32
Q

How long do composites need to cure under light?

A

40 seconds or 60 seconds for a larger restoration

33
Q

Are composites used for specific restorations?

A

They can generally be used for most restorations and even for crowns and bridges

34
Q

What is stronger, composite or amalgam?

A

Similar tensile strength but composites have lower compressive and flexural strengths

35
Q

What type of material is most appropriate for anterior teeth and why?

A

Hybrids/composites. They experience a lot of stresses so a material with the highest possible fracture resistance is needed

36
Q

How are composite materials packaged?

A

Pre-capsulated, powder and/or liquid

37
Q

What is luting cement?

A

Bonds together a material and the tooth

38
Q

What is glass ionomer?

A

A mixture of a glass reinforced agent and polymer

39
Q

How are glass ionomer a supplied?

A

As powder and liquid

40
Q

What was glass ionomer developed for in dentistry?

A

As a tooth restorative that released fluoride ions over an extended time, bonded to the tooth

41
Q

What is the newest version of glass ionomer?

A

“Packable”. Recommended for occlusal surfaces on primary teeth

42
Q

How are glass ionomer a mixed?

A

Liquid and powder are mixed on a paper pad or glass slab (cooler increases working time)

Working time is around 3 min

Ratio of material is 4:1 liquid:powder

Trituration used for precapsulated

43
Q

What are enamel adhesives used for and how are they cured?

A

Used as sealants for pits and fissures

Light cured

Rely on mechanical interlocking into the enamel rods (not a chemical rxn)

44
Q

What is used to make binding to dentin surface easier?

A

Etching is difficult on dentin so a conditioner/primer was developed to remove some of the smear layer created by debris on the tooth surface
