Bonding of tooth coloured restoratives to tooth structure Flashcards
example of
a. macromechanical retention
b. micromechanical retention
c. chemical retention
a. macromechanical retention: amalgam (undercuts)
b. micromechanical retention: composite/compomer
c. chemical retention: GIC
4 materials sometimes in proprietary pastes which used to be thought to affect etching potential
- pumice
- oil
- glycerine
- fluoride
4 possible etchant materials
- 36% buffered ortho-phosphoric acid
- 10% ortho-phosphoric acid
- 10% maleic acid
- 2.5% maleic acid
are etchant liquids or gels preferable? why?
gels - easier to control and see
both are equally effective
3 possible etch patterns
intra-prismatic
inter-prismatic
mixed
which etch pattern is more retentive
equal
depth of
a. aprismatic enamel removed from surface
b. prismatic enamel removed from core/periphery
c. resin infiltrated in to enamel
INTERPRET
a. aprismatic enamel removed from surface: 10um
b. prismatic enamel removed from core/periphery: 40um
c. resin infiltrated in to enamel: 25um
–> There is space under resin infiltrated area of enamel that we have etched
4 functions of etching enamel and applying an unfilled resin (bond)
- micromechanical retention
- reduces microleakage
- eliminates marginal stain
- reduces secondary caries
etching/washing time and why
15s (at least, usually 30s enamel 15s dentine)
at least same time washing otherwise calcium/phosphate ions precipitate on surface
what to do if salivary contamination occurs and why
re-etch enamel for 5 seconds
glycoproteins precipitate on to surface
3 ways to isolate teeth
- rubber dam
- cotton wool rolls
- saliva ejector
why is rubber dam so important when etching/bonding
only way to stop humidity of pt breath
how to apply bonding resin
is it hydrophilic or hydrophobic
- allow to penetrate pores for 20s (25um)
- air dried
- cured
hydrophobic
strength of composite bonding to a.enamel
b. dentine
c. GIC to dentine
a. 30mPa
b. dentine: 20-25mPa
c. 5-9mPa
4 ways bond efficiency composite-enamel can be reduced
- clinical technique (lack of bevel)
- contamination after etching
- micro-cracks developing from cavity prep
- unsupported/fractured enamel margins
is composite bonding better to enamel or dentine? why
better to enamel
dentine has different:
-composition SEE TABLE: 12xmore water and 2x more organic material
-structure: heterogenous structure, diff amounts of HA/ collagen in peritubular/intertubular dentine
what is the smear layer composed of
smeared HA crystals in matrix of partially degraded collagen matrix
outer layer: thick, lying on peri and inter-tubular dentine
inner layer: thin, consisting of plugs in dentinal tubules
thickness of smear layer with
a. water spray
b. tungsten carbide burs
c. diamond burs
a. water spray: 7um
b. tungsten carbide burs: 7um
c. diamond burs: 15um
when is the smear layer removed and why
etching. opens tubules, outward flow of fluid –> exposes collagen for bonding
4 potential adverse effects of removing smear layer
- tissue fluid outflow
- bacterial invasion
- dentine sensitivity
- adverse pulpal response
