restorative resin Flashcards
used to restore and replace dental tissue lost through disease or trauma and to lute and cement crowns and veneers and other indirectly made or prefabricated dental devices
Dental resin-based composites
Dental resin-based composites three major components
a highly cross-linked polymeric matrix reinforced by a dispersion of glass, mineral, or resin filler particles
and/or short fibers bound to the matrix by coupling agents.
Dental resin-based composites compositions
- Resin matrix
- Fillers
- Coupling agents
- Activator-initiator system
- Inhibitors
- Optical modifiers
Based on a blend of aromatic and/or aliphatic dimethacrylate monomers such as:
* Bis-GMA (bisphenol-A glycidyl dimethacrylate)
* Urethane dimethacrylate (UEDMA)
* Triethylene glycol di-metacrylate(TEGDMA)
RESIN MATRIX
are employed to strengthen and reinforce composites as well as to reduce curing shrinkage and thermal expansion
Fillers
very hard, abrasive to opposing teeth or restorations, difficult to grind into very fine particles; thus, it is also difficult to polish
QUARTZ
not as hard thus, reducing the abrasiveness of the composite surface structure and improving its polishability
AMORPHOUS SILICA
provided by glasses and ceramics that contains heavy metals such as barium (Ba), strontium(Sr), and zirconium(Zr)
Radiopacity
Glasses and quartz provides
translucency
FUNCTIONS of FILLER PARTICLES
- Reinforcement
- Reduction of polymerization shrinkage/contraction
- Reduction in thermal expansion and contraction.
- Control of workability/viscosity.
- Decreased water sorption.
- Imparting radiopacity
- Bonds filler particles to resin matrix
- This allows the more flexible polymer matrix to transfer stresses to the higher-modulus (more rigid and stiffer) filler particles.
COUPLING AGENT
most commonly used coupling agent
Organosilanes (γ-methacryloxypropyl trimethoxysilane)
monomethacrylate and dimethacrylate monomers polymerize by the addition polymerization
ACTIVATION/INITIATION SYSTEM
Activator – UV light, visible blue-light
Initiator - Camphorquinone
LIGHT ACTIVATED RESIN
Activator - tertiary amine(N,N-dimethyl-p-toluidine)
Initiator - benzoyl peroxide
CHEMICALLY ACTIVATED RESIN
First composites were cured by
cold curing
○ Allows operator to complete both insertion and contouring before curing initiated
○ Not as sensitive to oxygen inhibition
ADVANTAGES of curing
FACTORS INVOLVED IN PHOTOCURING
- CURING LAMPS (LED, QTH, PAC, AL)
- DEPTH OF CURE AND EXPOSURE TIME
○ Have to be placed incrementally(2mm)
○ Tendency to shrink towards light source
○ Hand-held devices contains short-rigid light guide
LIMITATIONS of photocuring
- They are formulated to set up very slowly when mixed via the self-cure mechanism. The cure is then accelerated on “command” via lightcuring promoted by the amine/ CQ combination.
- are intended for any situation that does not allow sufficient light penetration to produce adequate monomer conversion—for example, cementation of bulky ceramic inlays.
DUAL-CURED RESIN
added to resin systems to minimize or prevent spontaneous or accidental polymerization of ○ monomers.
* Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT)
INHIBITOR
- To match the appearance of the teeth(visual coloration and translucency)
- Metal oxides – Shading (pigments)
- Titanium dioxide and aluminum oxide – increase opacity
OPTICAL MODIFIERS

CLASSIFICATION OF RESIN-BASED COMPOSITE
Based on filler particle:
* Macrofilled / Conventional
* Microfilled
* Small particle-filled
* Hybrid
* Nanofilled
Based on Manipulation:
* Flowable
* Condensable (Packable)
