25
What is the function of the other oxides in ZPC
improves physical properties | alters shade of set material
26
What is the liquid part of ZPC
aqueous solution of phosphoric acid | oxides which buffer the solution (aluminum and zinc oxides)
27
What is the function of aluminum oxide in the liquid portion of zinc phosphate cement
ensures even consistency of set material
28
What is the function of zinc oxide in the liquid component of zinc phosphate cement
slows the reaction giving better working time
29
What is the initial reaction of ZPC
acid base zinc oxide + phosphoric acid --> zinc phosphate + water
30
What is the second reaction in ZPC
hydration reaction resulting in the formation of a crystallized phosphate matrix results in matrix of zinc phosphate surrounded by unreacted zinc oxide particles
31
What does the aluminum oxide prevent in zinc phosphate setting reaction
crystallization leads to an amorphous glassy matrix of the acid salt surrounding unreacted ZnO powder
32
What is the resultant matrix of zinc phosphate cement like
almost insoluble, but it is porous and contains free water from the setting reaction cement subsequently matures binding this water leading to a stronger less porous material
33
What are problems with zinc phosphate cement
low initial pH (approx. 2) and can take 24h to return to neutral exothermic reaction not adhesive to tooth or restoration not cariostatic final set takes 24h brittle opaque
34
What does the zinc phosphate cement do in relation to the tooth or restoration
works like grout on tiles filling any spaces retention may be slightly micro mechanical due to surface irregularities on prep restoration
35
What is zinc polycarboxylate cement
similar material but phosphoric acid replaced by poly acrylic acid
36
What are advantages of zinc polycarbonate cement
this material had the advantage of bonding to tooth surfaces in a similar way to GIC there is less heat reaction the pH is low to begin with but returns to neutral more quickly and longer chain acids do not penetrate dentine as easily cheap
37
What are disadvantages of zinc polycarboxylate cement
``` difficult to mix difficult to manipulate soluble in oral environment at lower pH opaque lower modulus and compressive strength than zinc phosphate ```
38
Why are dental cements rarely used now
modern materials utilize chemical bonding to tooth surface and can also bond to indirect restoration too
39
What is main difference between GI and GIC
GIC has a particle size of glass which is less than 20um to allow for suitable film thickness if they were bigger they would interfere with the ability of the restoration to seat hence why you can't use the GI filling material as a luting agent
40
What is the reaction of GIC
acid base between glass and acid
41
What is the glass in GI made up of
silicone oxide aluminum oxide calcium fluoride
42
What is the poly acid mixture of GIC
mixture of acrylic, malice and itaconic acid and their copolymers
43
How does GIC bond to the tooth surface
ion exchange with calcium in enamel and dentine hydrogen bonding with the collagen in the dentine
44
What does the GIC bond result in
fairly strong durable and possibly diamond bond to tooth no chemical bond to restoration surface surface of the restoration should be sandblasted to allow mechanical adhesion
45
What makes GIC clinically easy to use
it is easy to use and a durable cement ``` low shrinkage low term stability relative insoluble once fully set aesthetically better than zincphosphate self adhesive to tooth substance fluoride release cheap ```
46
What is the chemistry of RMGI
same as filling material glass particle smaller to allow acceptable film thickness
47
What does RMGI contain that the conventional GI doesn't
hydrophilic monomer
48
Why must the RMGI monomer be hydrophilic
as GIC is water based material
49
What is the hydrophilic monomer in RMGI
HEMA
50
What is the reaction of RMGI
same acid base reaction light activation causes polymerization of the HEMA and any copolymers in the material leading to a rapid initial set acid base reaction then continues for some time some materials have a secondary cure via a REDOX reaction which allows for dark curing where material is not exposed to light will cure
51
What are the improved problems due to incorporation of resin in GI
``` shorter setting time longer working time higher compressive strength and tensile strengths higher bond strength to tooth decreased solubility ```
52
What are potential problems with RMGI
HEMA is cytotoxic HEMA swells and expands in a wet environment no bond to indirect restoration
53
What is the consequence of HEMA swelling in wet environment
cannot be used to cement conventional porcelain crowns as they may crack shouldn't be used to cement posts as they may split the root
54
What are temporary cements
made to cement temporary restorations in place while permanent is fabricated
55
What are features of temporary cements
soft for easy removal, some do not set at all prep must be physically retentive or they will not work can be used for trail lute of permanent restorations to allow assessments by patient or clinical
56
How are temp cements supplied
two paste systems - base and catalyst or accelerator
57
What does the base of temp cements contain
ZNO, starch and mineral oil
58
What does the accelerator of temp cements contain
resins, eugenol or ortho-EBA and carnauba wax
59
What is the role of wax in temp cements
weakens the structures of set cement and makes it easier to remove
60
How can temp cements be modified
make it weaker by incorporating petroleum jelly into mixture
61
What are the two types of temp cements
eugenol containing and without eugenol containing
62
Where should eugenol temp cements not be used
to cement the provisional restoration where the permanent restoration will be cemented with a resin cement
63
What may residual eugenol interfere with
the setting of this type of resin luting agent
64
What are the 3 phases of GI setting reaction
dissolution gelation hardening
65
What is the dissolution phase
1. Acid goes into solution and reacts with outer layer of glass 2. Layer becomes depleted in aluminium, calcium and fluorine ions so that only a silica gel remains 3. Hydrogen ions that are released from the carboxyl group of the acid diffuse to the glass and makeup for the loss of other ions LEAVES AN UNREACTED GLASS CORE WITH SILICA GEL ON THE OUTSIDE
66
What is the gelation phase
Initial set is due to calcium ion crosslinking with the carboxyl group of the polyacid (chelation) but the cross linking is not ideal as the calcium can chelate with the two carboxyl groups on the same molecule Initial set is caused by formation CALCIUM POLYACRYLATE
67
What is the hardening phase
w Aluminium is what provides the final strength to cement w Aluminium is trivalent so ensures a high degree of cross linking on the polymer molecule Once cement has fully reacted the final structure consists of glass particles, each which is surrounded by a silica gel in a matrix of cross linked polyacrylic acid
68
What is the bond to indirect composite restorations
the bond strength is lower to inlay fitting surfaces than to new composite the bond is micromechanical bond is also chemical we use a dual curing cement
69
What is the micro mechanical bond to in indirect composite restorations
rough internal surface of the inlay
70
What is the chemical bond to in indirect composite restorations
remaining C=C bonds on the fitting surface of the inlay
71
What is used to bond the composite inlay
tooth --> DBA --> composite luting resin --> resin inlay
72
Why should porcelain be bonded to tooth
to prevent fracture | untreated porcelain to is smooth and non retentive
73
How is porcelain treated for boding to tooth
hydrofluoric acid
74
What does hydrofluoric acid do to the porcelain
produced a rough retentive surface but it is still not hydrophobic and compatible with composite resin luting agents
75
What is required to bond the hydrophilic porcelain to the composite resin luting agent
a surface wetting agent - silane coupling agent
76
What is the silane coupling agent applied to
etched porcelain surface in a monolayer
77
How does the silane bonding agent work
Has a hydrophilic end (hydroxyls on it) that can bond to the oxide groups on the porcelain surface Has a hydrophobic (C=C) double bond which reacts with the composite resin luting agent
78
What are the components of bonding porcelain to tooth
tooth > DBA > comp luting agent > silane > porcelain
79
Why is a dual curing cement needed for indirect composite
as light penetration through the inlay will be poor
80
What kind of luting agent do we use for bonding to porcelain
light cured if restoration is thin | if thick use a dual cured composite
81
How do we bond tooth to metal
does not bond to metal directly metal surface needs roughened can be done by etching but more usually done by sandblasting
82
What did etching the metal do
was called electrolytic etching | removes diff phases of alloy at diff rates giving a retentive surface
83
What were the issues with etching metal
technique sensitive | cannot etch precious metals
84
What does sandblasting the e-mail do
roughens surface but does not give the undercut surface of etching chemical bond required to strengthen bond
85
How do we bond the composite luting agent to the non precious metal
materials with carboxylic and phosphoric acid derived resin monomers MDP and 4-META
86
How do the metal bonding agents work
have a acidic end of the molecule that reacts with the metal oxide and renders the surface hydrophobic
87
What type of cure does the luting agent need to be when bonding to metal
dual | light will not penetrate
88
What is the issues with the materials used to bond the non precious metal
technique sensitive will not work unless moisture control is adequate we don't use it for everything will not bond to precious metal
89
What is the components of bonding non precious metal to tooth
tooth > DBA > composite luting resin > metal bond agent > non precious metal
90
How do we bond to precious metal
change precious alloy composite to allow oxide formation tin plate sulphur based chemistry of bonding agent all complicated and technique sensitive
91
How do we change the precious alloy composition to allow oxide formation
increase copper content and heat 400 degrees in the air
92
What are self adhesive composite resins
metal and coupling agent is incorporated into the composite resin this simplifies the bonding process
93
What are the adv and disadv of self adhesive composite resin (panavea)
``` anaerobic self cured material consistent results over many years good film thickness opaque moisture sensitive expensive ```
94
So what is required in bonding non precious material to tooth using panavia
tooth > DBA > panacea ex > non precious metal
95
What is self etching composite resin cements
combo of comp resin cement and self etching DBA
96
What are the issues with self etching composite resin cements
Dentine bonding requires good moisture control there is doubt about the bond strength to enamel due to inadequate etching pH of carboxylic monomer doesn't stay low for long to give good etch
97
How does the self etching composite resin luting agents work
acidic groups bind with calcium in hydroxyapatite forming a stabilizing attachment between tooth and resin ions form dissolution of filler neutralize the remaining acid groups forming a chelate reinforced methacrylate network limited removal of smear layer or significant infiltration into tooth surface good bond strength to dentine
98
What are the mechanical properties for self etching composite resin luting agent
compressive strength tensile strength hardness wear resistant all slightly lower than conventional resin luting agents but better than 'cements'
99
How does self etching composite resin luting agent compare in bonding to enamel
lower than dentine | should be etched with acid prior to application
100
How does self etching composite resin luting agent compare in bonding to dentine
better than enamel | should not be etched with acid prior to application
101
How does self etching composite resin luting agent bonding to ceramic
brand specific
102
How does self etching composite resin luting agent compare in bonding to metal
better to non precious | not good enough to cement ortho brackets
103
When can you not use a self etching composite resin luting agent
if you can't use a DBA or conventional resin cement can't use this as still have issue of moisture control
