Q

what does the amorphous glassy matriculates of acid salt from zinc phosphate cement setting reaction do

A
  • it is almost insoluble, but it is porous and contains free water from the setting reaction
  • as it sets more it becomes harder
  • cement matures, binding this water leading to a stronger, less porous material

31
Q

what is the setting reaction of RMGI

A
  • same acid base reaction
  • light activation causes polymerisation of HEMA and any copolymers in the material leading to a rapid initial set
  • need a REDOX reaction
  • some materials have a secondary curve via REDOX reaction
  • allows ‘dark curing’ where material not exposed to light still sets
32
Q

how does the incorporation of resin in RMGI better properties

A
  • shorter setting time
  • longer working time
  • higher compressive and tensile strengths
  • higher bond strength to tooth
  • decreased solubility
  • cheap material and use often
33
Q

what are the problems with RMGI

A
  • HEMA is cytotoxic
    > damage the pulp
  • HEMA swells
    > can’t be used for porcelain crowns as could crack
    > hydrophilic
  • doesn’t bond to indirect restorations
34
Q

what are composite luting agents-

A
  • the simplest of these materials are variants on composite filling material with suitable viscosity and filler particle size
  • used in conjunction with suitable DBA
  • light cured or dual cured
35
Q

why are composite luting agents good

A
  • better physical properties, lower solubility and better aesthetics
36
Q

how does composite luting agents bond to indirect composite restorations

A
  • composite bonds to composite
  • bond strength is lower to inlay fitting surface than to new composite
  • bond is micro mechanical to rough internal surface of inlay
  • bond is also chemical to remaining C=C bonds on fitting surface of inlay
37
Q

why do we use dual curing composite cement

A
  • light penetration through inlay will be poor
38
Q

how is composite cement bonded to porcelain

A
  • porcelain is brittel and required to be bonded to tooth to prevent fracture
  • treat ed with HF to etch the surface
  • produced a rough retentive surface
  • BUT is still not hydrophobic and compatible with composite resin luting agents
39
Q

how do we make porcelain hydrophobic to bond to composite luting agents

A
  • use a surface wetting agent

- silane coupling agent

40
Q

how does a silane coupling agent work

A
  • applied to etched porcelain surface
  • very strong bond between oxide group on porcelain surface and silane
  • the other end of the silane molecule is C=C bond which reacts with composite resin luting agent
  • hydrophilic end of it bonds to porcelain and other end is then hydrophobic to bond to composite
41
Q

why should you only use a light cured composite luting agent if porcelain is thin

A
  • increase curing time if thicker

- if restoration thicker then need to use a dual cured composite

42
Q

what is the advantage of using light cured composite luting agents rather than dual cured

A
  • stain less over time
43
Q

how do you bond composite luting agents to metal

A
  • metal surface doesnt bond to composite luting agent
  • metal surface needs to be roughened
  • ## done by etching or sandblasting
44
Q

how is metal etched

A
  • electrolyte etching
  • removes different phases of alloy at different rate
  • gives a very retentive surface

BUT

  • it is technique sensitive
  • potentially carcinogenic to lab technicians
  • seldom used now
45
Q

how is metal sandblasted

A
  • roughens surface but does not give the undercut surface of etching
46
Q

how do we bond composite luting agents to non-precious metals

A
  • metal bond agent
  • material with carboxylic and phosphoric acid derived resin monomers
  • MDP and 4-META
  • these molecules have an acidic end and a C=C bond
  • the acidic end of the molecule reacts with the metal oxide and render the surface hydrophobic as other end is C=C
47
Q

how is tooth turned hydrophobic to bond to composite luting agent

A
  • hydrophilic tooth is turned hydrophobic by DBa, non-precious metal which is hydrophilic is turned hydrophobic by metal bond agent
48
Q

what type of composite luting agent must be used for metal

A
  • dual curing as light will not penetrate the metal
  • used to cement crown, bridges and posts
  • technique sensitive and won’t work unless moisture controlled
49
Q

how do we bond to precious metal

A
  • change precious alloy composition to allow oxide formation
  • increase copper content and heat 400 degrees in the air
  • tin plate
  • sulphur based chemistry of binding agent
50
Q

what are self-adhesive composite luting agent

A
  • luting agents with an in-built metal bonding agent
  • the metal coupling agent is incorporated into the composite resin
  • simplifies the bonding process
  • anaerobic self-cured material

BUT

  • moisture sensitive
  • expensive
51
Q

what is an example of self-adhesive composite luting agent

A
  • panavia
52
Q

what is Rely X Unicem

A
  • self-etching composite resin cement

- combination of a composite resin cement and a self-etching dentine bonding agent

53
Q

what is the problem with Rely X Unicem

A
  • required good moisture control
  • there is doubt about the bond strength to enamel due to inadequate etching
  • the pH of the carboxyl monomer doesnt stay low long enough to get a good etch
54
Q

how do self-etching composite resin luting agents work

A
  • acidic groups bind with calcium in hydroxyapatite forming a stabilising attachment between the tooth and resin
  • ions from dissolution of filler neutralise the remaining acidic groups forming a chelate reinforced methacrylate network
  • good bond strength to dentine
55
Q

what are the mechanical properties of self-etching composite luting agents

A
  • quite good but not as good as conventional composite resin materials
56
Q

how is bonding to enamel with self-etching composite luting agents

A
  • lower than to dentine

- should be etched with acid period to application

57
Q

how is boning to dentine with self-etching composite luting agents

A
  • better than to enamel

- should not be etched with acid prior to application

58
Q

how is boning to ceramic with self-etching composite luting agents

A
  • branch specific

- Rely X Unicem seems to bond quite well to sandblasted zirconia

59
Q

how is bonding to metal with self-etching composite luting agent

A
  • better to non-precious than precious

- not good enough to cement ortho brackets

60
Q

what is the problem with self-etching composite luting agents

70
Q

what are temporary cements

A
  • made to cement temporary restorations in place while permanent restoration is fabricated
  • soft for easy removal
  • preparation must be physically retentive or they won’t work
71
Q

how are temporary cements supplied

A
  • two paste systems of a base and a catalyst or accelerator
72
Q

what does the base in a temporary cement contain

A
  • ZnO, starch and mineral oil
73
Q

what does the accelerator in a temporary cement contain

A
  • resins, eugenol or ortho-EBA and carnauba wax

- wax weakens the structure of the set cement and makes it easier to remove

74
Q

what are the two main types of temporary cements

A
  • those with eugenol and those without
  • both work fine if going to use GI as a permanent
  • if going to use RMGI then can’t use temporary with eugenol as it interferes with setting
75
Q

why can’t eugenol temporary cement be used if permanent cement is going to be resin based

A
  • it interferes with setting of this type of luting agent
