Dental adhesives:
Classified by:
Types of adhesive systems:
Classified by:
- generation
- adhesion
- combination
Types of adhesive systems:
Etch-and-rinse
Self-etch
Dental adhesives:
resin monomers:
forms and categories:
- hydrophilic in nature
- main component in adhesive systems and resin based composites
liquid form when placed in adhesive mixture
hard form after photopolymerization
2 categories:
- > functional (hydrophilic)
- contain a functional group that enhances wetting/demineralization of dentin
- > cross linker
- resists hydrolytic degradation
- interlocking with this
- better mechanical properties
Dental adhesives:
solvent:
ex:
functions:
Needs appropriate storage and handling otherwise restorations will fail
-> close the DBA bottle cause the solvent evaporates fast
ex: ethanol, water, acetone
Functions:
- > eliminates water molecules prior to curing of resin adhesive, without collapse of collagen fibrils
- > facilitate penetration of hydrophilic, small molecule resin monomers into the collagen meshwork of demineralized dentin
- > dissolves and reduces viscosity of monomers which results in simplifying transportation of monomers into demineralized collagen fibrils
Dental adhesives:
Fillers:
Functions:
-not always in dental adhesives
Functions:
- in low amounts they are used to increase mechanical properties
- prevent over-thinning of adhesive layer
- reduce shrinkage stress (produced during curing)
- provide radio-opacity
Dental adhesives:
initiator types:
photo-initiator (ex: camphorquinone (cq))
chemical-initiator
Dental adhesives:
ADV:
DISADV:
ADV:
- more conservative tooth preps
- antibacterial properties -> may prevent recurrent caries
- can treat root sensitivity
- increased R to recurrent caries
- increased R to caries in sealed fissure systems of posteriors
- reliable micromechanical retention to etch enamel w/o macro-retention features
- reinforcement of residual tooth structure
- stronger retention and increased R of glass matrix ceramic restorations fracture
- stable chemical adhesion to hydroxyapatite
- retain wide range of restorative materials
- expanded across different dental disciplines, not only operative dentistry
DISADV:
- marginal bacterial leakage
- post-operative sensitivity
- pulp inflammation or pulp necrosis
- enamel cracks
- moisture contamination
- contact dermatitis
- open contacts in posterior resin restorations
Dental adhesives:
generations:
1st generation -> 2 steps -> 2 components -> enamel etch 2nd -> 2 -> 2 -> enamel etch 3rd -> 3 -> 2-3 -> dentin 4th -> 3 -> 3 -> total etch 5th -> 2 -> 2 -> total etch 6th -> 1 -> 2 -> self-adhesive 7th -> 1 -> 1 -> self-adhesive 8th -> 1 -> 1 -> self-adhesive
4th generation uses 3 step E+R (so we use a separate step for etch and then rinse it off before applying primer and adhesive)
5th generation 2 step E+R (primer and adhesive are combined together)
6th generation 2 step SE (etch and primer are combined together)
7th generation 1 step SE (all in one bottle)
Resin based restorative materials:
ADV:
DISADV:
ADV:
- aesthetic appearance (main ADV over AMG)
- more conservative prep
- non-toxic -> no Hg release
DISADV: higher chance of: -fracture and failure of large restorations -secondary caries -marginal deficiencies -wear -post-operative sensitivity
Composite resins components:
3 organic components: resin matrix, silane coupling agent, initiator
Inorganic component: filler
-contain also inhibitors and pigments
Why we need to light-polymerize the bonding agent before the application of dental adhesives?
1) To obtain proper mechanical properties of adhesive
2) To ensure production of a thin layer of adhesive prior to composite application
How does polymerization occur?
CQ absorbs light and causes activation of amine co-initiators that produce free radicals
Hydrolytic degradation of hybrid layer components includes:
adhesives, collagen
Main goal of adhesive material is to achieve:
Tight and durable adaptation of restorative material to tooth structure
Enamel:
- densely mineralized
- brittle but hard
- not resilient
- dried
- the ideal substrate to form a tight adhesive joint
- micromechanical bonding (seals the restorative margins against leakage)
- more inorganic than dentin
- hydroxyapatite crystals: LARGER, more regular and arranged parallelly in enamel rods (92%)
Dentin:
- less brittle
- resilient
- similar at the nanostructural level to the bone (bone-like nanocomposite built of carbonated hydroxyapatite mineral particles, protein and water)
- COMPLEX BIOCOMPOSITE STRUCTURE
- humid (more water) and more organic than enamel (less inorganic than enamel)
- hydroxyapatite crystals: smaller and arranged in crisscross pattern in organic matrix
- no micromechanical interlocking (unlike enamel)
- dentin aging/carious lesion/aggressive stimuli cause physiological changes (ex: increase mineralization, dentin thickness and reduce permeability)
- reduction of permeability with age has a direct effect on dentin bond strengths, as dentin permeability affects the adhesion process
ETCH AND RINSE ADHESIVES:
ADV:
DISADV:
ADV:
- long track record (3-step ER)
- high immediate bond strength to enamel and dentin
- excellent bonding to enamel
- minor contamination with saliva doesn’t always decrease bond strength
- excellent results of clinical studies for 3 step ER
- ability to bond composite, porcelain, fiber posts, amalgam and etched or sandblasted metals
DISADV:
- acetone based adhesives need more applications than those recommended by manufacturers
- over-etching decreases bond strength
- more technique sensitive (than SE)
- 2 step ER undergoes degradation faster than 3 step ER
- bond strengths can VARY depending ON MOISTURE DEGREE
- more incidences of post-operative sensitivity with posterior composite restorations
- insufficient solvent air-drying recommended by manufacturers
SELF-ETCH ADHESIVES:
ADV:
DISADV:
ADV:
- long track record (2 step SE)
- EASY to apply (no etch or rinse)
- can be used with selective enamel etching
- contain hydrophobic bonding resin which PREVENTS DEGRADATION of resin-dentin interface
- less technique sensitive
DISADV:
- acidic primer not as acidic as phosphoric acid
- 1 step SE need more applications than those recommended by manufacturers
- 1 step SE can cause enamel leakage
- residual water may become entrapped if not properly evaporated which results in nanoleakage
- 1 step SE (HEMA-free) may compromise DURABILITY of enamel bonding
Bonding agents:
Components:
Etch -> to remove minerals, inorganic components (ex: hydroxyapatite in both enamel and dentin, leaving in dentin collagen fibers)
Primer -> contains solvent and monomer and attaches adhesive to tooth
Adhesive
components of resins:
Fillers:
Silane coupling agent:
Initiator:
Fillers:
enhance the strength and modulus of organic resin matrix
Silane coupling agent:
enhances tensile strength and bond strength of resin composite
Initiator:
polymerizes and crosslinks the composite into a hard form
->polymerization rxn can be triggered by light, chemicals or both
widely used monomer to construct composites:
Bis-GMA
Macrofilled self-cured composites DISADV:
- not used for posteriors bc of low wear R properties
- hand mixing
Composite modifications:
(a) curing modification
(b) filler modification
(c) resin modification
- macro
- micro
- hybrid
- universal
Microfilled composites – ADV:
higher polish ability and better color stability
Hybrid composites
ADV:
DISADV:
= combination of macro- and microfilled composites
ADV:
-improved wear R
-favorable mechanical and optical properties
DISADV:
esthetic
Universal composites:
ADV:
uses:
ADV:
- improved wear R
- improved mechanical properties
- maintain good polishability
- esthetic properties of microfilled composites
-used for both anteriors and posteriors
Classes of composites depending on consistency:
a) flowable
b) packable
flowable composites
ADV:
DISADV:
uses:
ADV:
-better adaptation in deep or undercut areas of cavity
DISADV:
-lower mechanical properties
uses: cavity lining small restorations load free areas (class V) restoration repairs
Failures due to improper light curing:
- time of light polymerization
- amount of energy delivered
- > improper position of light tip
- > thickness of resin
- > movement of light tip amid curing
- > separation of light tip from resin
- > shade and type of resin
- > state of light curing unit
Consequences of polymerization shrinkage stress:
- > is critical as a result of its impact on cavosurface edges
- > marginal gap
- > incremental filling techniques have been recommended due to this polymerization shrinkage
- post-operative sensitivity
- marginal staining
- recurrent caries
- eventual loss of restoration
Reducing the volume of composite that is polymerized at each stage of the restorative procedure:
- minimizes shrinkage
- maximizes the conversion conversion of monomers to polymer
Pre-warming of composites:
- increases composite flow
- marginal adaptation
- monomer conversion
- decreases system viscosity
- enhances radical mobility
- additional polymerization
- higher conversion
Factors influencing secondary caries:
1) caries risk factors
- saliva
- diet
- fluorides
2) restorative material
- placement technique
- surface properties and plaque accumulation
- bonding to tooth
- biodegradation
- antibacterial and buffering effect
3) restoration
- gaps and overhangs
- location
- size
- class
Posterior composite restoration – class ii success depends on which factors?
- patient selection/characteristics
- > high caries risk pts have 2x more failure rate than low caries risk pts
- > take in consideration the caries status of pt and adjust recommendations for restorative materials accordingly
- tooth prep
- > composite prep is more conservative
- > as the no of restored surfaces increases, the risk of restoration failure increases
- > tooth position influences the clinical performance and longevity of restoration (P lower failures than M)
- matrix use
- > reproduces good proximal contact, which minimizes food impaction and maintains healthy periodontal tissues
- > poorly done: open margin -> penetration of liquids
-composite composition-dentin bonding
C-factor:
= cavity - configuration factor
- ratio of bonded SA to non-bonded SA (needs to decrease)
- the higher it is the less chance for relaxation of polymerization shrinkage
- decreases bond strength
- we want it low
Why do premolars show less failures than molars?
bc the masticatory forces and stresses placed on Molar restorations are higher than those placed in Premolars
The position of tooth influences the clinical performance and longevity of restoration
Correct Matrix use/type:
- you create a good proximal contact which helps:
- minimize food impaction
- maintain healthy perio tissues
- avoid open margin (oral fluids go through)
- avoid marginal leakage -> most common reason for composite restoration failure
