Glass Ionomer
Functions of tooth-colored material
REstorations
Bases and liners
Cemeents
Tooth colored materials from high fluoride to low floride
Glass Ionomers Resin Modified Glass Ionomers Low Fluoride: Compomers Composites
Base of Composites
Polymer base
Base of Glass Ionomers
Water base
Changing of COmposites
Static
Functional roll of GI
Fluoride REservoir (dynamic)
Mech properties of Composites
Comparable to Amalgam
Mech Properties of GI
Decrease Mech properties
Wear resistance of Composites
Was a conern (especially for older compostes)
Retention of composites
Micromechanical retention - resin tags and hybrid layer
GI wear resistance
Good
Retention of GI
Chemically bond (ionic - not strong)
Where is the hybrid layer found
In dentin
Advantage of Posterior Composites
Esthetic
Conservation of tooth
Easier Prep
Disadvantage of Posterior Composites
Tequnique sensitive
Effect of Polymerization shrinkage
Indication for Posterior Composites
Small/moderate sized Class I and CLass II preps
Contraindications for Posterior Composites
Complete Moisture control is inadequate
Heavy occlusal stresses
LArger preps
More posterior
effect of Resin shrinkage
Won’t create microleaks, but will put stress on the polymerization
Why are Class II composites hard
Doesn’t hold itself well to be pressed due to putty consistency
