Q

how are fillers classified?

A
  • fillers are classified by material, shape and size
  • fillers are irregular or spherical in shape depending on the mode of manufacture
  • spherical particles are easier to incorporate into a resin mix and to fill more space leaving less resin
  • one size spherical particle occupies a certain space
  • adding smaller particles fills the space between the larger particles to take up more space
  • less resin remaining and therefore, less shrinkage on curing

23
Q

what percentage is the coupling agents prone to polymer shrinkage

A

3%

24
Q

since 2007, how do companies advertise coupling agents

A

’ universal composite’
‘ flowable composite’
‘ packable composite’
the chemistry is basically identical, the only change is the viscosity or filler type

25
Q

how much filler content is found in flowable composites

A

50 to 70 %
less than traditional hybrid composite resins which give them lower viscosity

26
Q

what are the indications for flowable composites

A
  • Class V restorations
  • Micropreparations
  • Extended fissure sealigns
  • Adhesive cementation of ceramic restorations
  • Blocking out cavity undercuts
  • initial layer in any classification.
27
Q

what is the disadvantage of flowable composites

A

the flowable composite resins have lower filler volumes and thus they exhibit increased shrinkage and wear with decreased strength

28
Q

name some packable composites

A
  • prodigy condensable
    -Alert (Pentron)
  • Solitaire 2 (Kulzer)
  • Surefill (Dentsply)|
  • sdr (Dentsply)
  • BULKFILL (3m)
29
Q

what are the packable composites properties

A
  • composites are firm and can be packed into a preparation
  • contain larger filler particles or even fibres to improve packing qualities
  • Because of their high viscosity they are more difficult to sculpt and voids are more common
30
Q

what do composites contain and how do they polymerise

A

Bis- GMA resin. and other methacrylate
- polymerise through photoiniated mechanisms
- Available in various shades and opacities
- Does not adhere to tooth tissue unless are specifically self etching

31
Q

describe the way is enamel bonded

A
  • predictable and relatively easy
32
Q

what organic and inorganic substances doe enamel contain

A

95% Hydroxyapatite
4% water
1% Non- collagenous protein

33
Q

After bonding , what is the next process when restoring a composite

A

an acid (mosrtly 30-40% phosphoric acid) is applied and rinsed off
- pH is 0.2 (very strong acid) and decalcification occurs in 5-8 seconds
- Etching decalcifies portions of enamel rods

34
Q

what does the acid etch technique do to the microstructure of enamel

A
  • calcium salts are dissolved which exposes interprismatic and prism areas for interlocking tag formation with the bonding resin
  • roughens surface of enamel
  • mechanical bonding, not true adhesion
  • bond strength 20 MPs
35
Q

describe the organic components ned inorganic components of dentine

A
  • dentine contains
  • 33% by volume of organic component
    (mainly type 1 collagen)
  • 45% by volume of inorganic component (HAP)
  • 23% by volume of water
  • moist, living tissue
36
Q

what is the ultimate aim for dentine bonding agents

A
  • bond a hydrophobic , highly viscous composite to a hydrophilic adherent
  • need something to change properties of dentine surface/smear layer form hydrophilic to hydrophobic.
37
Q

what is a smear layer

A
  • created by any mechanical cutting of dentine
  • essentially dentine debris of variable thickness
  • smear plugs are formed which block dentinal tubules
  • ca protect dentine through prenetraiton of bacteria
  • can harbour bacteria
38
Q

what are the four strategies that have been used to achieve optimum bonding

A
  • smear layer is left alone
  • smear layer is removed
  • smear layer is modified
    = the smear layer is partially removed and partially modified
39
Q

what is the basic mechanisms of bonding to enamel and dentine

A
  • exchange process involving replacement of minerals by resin monomers which upon setting, become micro-mehcanically interlocked in the created porosities
40
Q

what is hybridisation?

A
  • the infiltration of resin monomers into the collagen fibrillar matrix of demineralisation dentine followed by polymerisation.
  • process that creates a molecular- level mixture of adhesive polymers and dental hard tissues - the hybrid layer
41
Q

what are the full properties and how do we do acid etching

A
  • improves retention of the restoration
  • increases surface area of the dentine
  • removes ‘ smear layer’ from prep
  • allows for penetration of bonding agent into dentin
  • protect pulp exposures before using
  • Phosphoric acid (35-37%) gel or liquid
  • Isolate teeth, apply ethcnant, wait (5-15 seconds)
  • rinse - don’t desiccate! blot prep to remove water
42
Q

what are the properties of primer and how do we apply it

A
  • resin - monomer
  • improves wettability of prep
  • penetrates etched dentin tubules
  • applied in a thin layer; thinned with air; blot - May require light curing
43
Q

what are the properties of bonding adhesive

A
  • un-filled or lightly filled resin
    -adhesive bonds to collagen fibres in dentin mechanicially ‘ locks-in’ - hybrid layer’
  • applied in a thin, uniform layer
  • light cured 10-20 seconds
  • new generation being developed
  • dental composite then applied
44
Q

what are the current types of approach of bonding in restorations

A
  • apply these 3 steps separately or together
  • etch and rinse, prime and bond
  • self-etch primer and bond
  • performance assessed in the lab
  • performance assessed in Class V clinical studies
45
Q

what step is followed after etching

A

priming step

46
Q

what are the properties of a primer

A
  • ampiphillic and low viscosity
  • solvents are added to adjust primer viscosity and improve its wetting
  • usually optimised for dentine surface characteristics rather than enamel
47
Q

how are the etch and rinse primers classified

A

by primer solvent
- acetone based
- ethanol based
- water based

48
Q

what options are there for the etch rinse methods

A
49
Q

describe self - etch primer and adhesive

A
  • application of the self etch primer is followed by the application of a hydrophobic bonding resin
  • without the need for rinsing, application time of self etc adhesives is shorter and the technique sensitivity is lower
50
Q

how must the performance be once upon application of the self etching primer

A
  • dissolve the smear layer
  • decalcify interlobular dentine
    whilst
  • penetrating to embed superficial collagen and produce an effective hybrid layer
  • many complicated competitive events
  • consequently, systems relativity unstable
51

what is the pathway for successful bonding to dentine

A
  • wetting
  • inflation to produce a ‘hybrid zone’
  • mechanical interlocking
  • stress resistance
  • ultimate goal is marginal integrity and sealing tubules to prevent ingress of bacteria
