25
critical surface energy
the surface tension of a liquid that will just spread on the surface of a solid
26
importance of critical surface energy and dentine
a liquid must have a lower surface energy than the surface it is being placed on to flow and then stick lower SE liquid will flow onto a higher SE substrate = lower SE as a whole Wet Dentine has a lower SE than Composite filling materials * Therefore this has to be reversed so that the Wet Dentine has a Higher SE than composite * **DBAs increase surface energy of dentine surface to allow composite to flow and stick**
27
dentine adhesion through molecular entanglement
Adhesive absorbed onto surface but also into interior of dentine due to good wetting/surface energies * absorbed component can polymerise * polymer meshes with substrate- molecular entanglement = high bond strength * phosphate-calcium bonds formed \*can be hydrolysed by saliva/dentinal fluid = weakened bonds
28
3 components of total etch
dentine conditioner (acid e.g. phophoric 37%) primer bond
29
denitne conditioner in total etch
acid - phophoric 37% * removes smear layer * opens dentine tubules by removing smear plugs * decalcifies upper layer of dentine * etch washed off with water * collagen network in this top 10μm
30
primer in total etch
**\*!Adhesive part of agent!\*** * Hydrophilic end bond to dentine (think of philic and wetted dentine surface) * Hydrophobic Methycrylate end bond to composite Molecule has to have a spacer group to allow it to be flexible in bonding for all sites Has a solvent (acetone, ethanol or water) to dissolve primer agent
31
bond in total etch
Resin that penetrates into dentine surface attaching to primers hydrophobic surface * Mixture of resins (Usually Bis-GMA and HEMA) * Predominantly Hydrophobic * May contain filler and camphorquinone * forms micromechanical bond within tubules and exposed dentine collagen- Hybrid layer (collagen and resin)
32
problems with total etch
* Overetching can cause collagen to collapse so no resin can penetrate * Overetching can mean the depth of etch is too much for the resin to penetrate fully leaving areas of unsupported collagen * Moisture dependence- too dry (dentine collapses) too wet (primer dilutes- reduced strength)
33
other option for DBA that isn't total etch
Self Etching primer + Seperate adhesive * DO NOT remove the smear layer- instead incorporate into bonding matrix * not washed off! * not as technique sensitive in terms of moisture but bond itsef not as good Usually found as a one bottle solution (Self etch and adhesive)
34
uses of composite resin
primary caries abrasion erosion failed restorations (secondary caries) trauma
35
mechanical properties for composite resin
smooth surface finsih/polishable technique sensitive low setting shrinkage (bonding agents and good technique to maintain this)
36
thermal properties of composite resin
thermal expansion coefficient pretty poor compared to amalgam and GI under cold stimulus the composite can shrink away from cavosurface margins
37
biological properties of composite resin
biocompatible - generally ok (unreacted monomer can be issue) anticariogenic - gennerally not but some release F
38
5 classes of components for composite resin
filler particles resin camphorquinone low weight dimethycrylate silane (coupling agent)
39
types of filler particles in composite resin
conventional * glass/quartz microfilled * microfine silica hybrid * combination of both
40
increased proportion of filler in composite resin =
decreased thermal expansion coefficient
41
role of filler in composite resin
* improve mechanical properties of material * lower polymerisation contraction * some fillers are radiopaque * greater strength etc
42
resin in composite resin
BISGMA * Bisphenol-A * Glycidyle Methacrylate * difunctional molecule - free radicals in teh resin facilitate C=C cross linking (free radical additon polymerisation)
43
role of camphorquinone in composite resin
initiator blue light activation -\> releases free radicals * free radicals bond to BIS-GMA resin **confers increased molecular weight and so greater viscosity and strength** converts between 35-80% resin * toxic unreactd monomer left potential reacts with blue light at 44nm - depth of cure 2mm approx
44
role of low weight dimethycrylate in composite resin
TEGOMA - triethylene glycol dimethycrylate inc proportion of TEGOMA = dec. viscosity * almost like pain thinner
45
silane role in composite resin
coupling agent acts as a wingman for glass to allow it to preferentially bond to resin and glass rather than water * water would normally adhere to glass particles preventing resin bonding to glass silane methoxy groups do the following: * bind to absorbed water * bind to OH groups in filler
46
what can be inc in self cure composite
benzoyl peroxide and aromatic tertiary amine 2 pastes, react together to break C=C bonds and release free radicals
47
what are crowns usually made of
procelain fused alloys * porcelain on outside with a metal substructure
48
why use porcelain fused alloys

49
how can porcelain fused alloys restoration fail
fracture within porcelain itself
50

56
porcelian metal resotrations properties
Metal Oxide sandwiched between porcelain and alloy Metal Oxide also helps to eliminate cracks and defects on porcelain surface Alloy acts as a support and limits the strain porcelain experiences
57
required properties for porcelian metal resotraions
* thermal expansion coefficient * form good bond to porcelain * avoid discoloration of porcelain * mechnical * melting
58
thermal expansion coefficient for porcelain-metal resotrations
its important that the alloy has a similar thermal expansion coefficient to the porcelain REDUCES STRAIN
59
metal good bond to porcelain for porcelain-metal resotrations
will allow the restoration to have longevity and maximises supporting property of alloy
60
metal avoid discolouration of porcelain for porcelain-metal resotrations
porcelain chose for aesthetics silive in AgPd can produce a green discoluration copper not used with High Gold due to discolouration
61
metal mechanical properties for porcelain-metal resotrations
bond strength * Gold (H/L), AgPd and CoCr all adequate (NiCr not) hardness * all adequate (NiCr too hard) elastic modulus * high (rigif) to support porcelain and prevent fracture * NiCr best
62
melting for porcelain-metal resotrations
recrystallisation temp of alloy must be harder than fustion temp of porcelain or creep will occur
63
High Gold alloys properties for porcelain fused restoration
* Match Thermal exp. * Increased melting pt * Forms oxide (Bonding) * Biocompatible v good * Cu presence can cause green discolourisation of porcelain * Melting range too low * Youngs modulus too low (Elastic)

70
PMMA
polymethylmethacrylate
71
ideal properties of PMMA in general
* replaces function of natural teeth * goes in pt mouth * seen by others - aesthetics * has to be cost effective * dimensionally accurate and stable in use - fit and be retained * high softening temp (Tg) * must not distorrt when eating or cleaning * unaffected by oral fluids over time * non-toxic/non-irritant * easy to repair * radiopaque * helps with detection of inhaled or ingested fragments if broken and swallowed
72
ideal properties of PMMA dimensionally
* dimensionally accurate and stable in use - fit and retained * high softening temp (Tg) - must not distort when eating or cleaning * unaffected by oral fluids over time * high hardness and abrasion resistance
73
ideal mechanical properties of PMMA
* high YM * high proportional limit - only large stresses will cause permanent deformation * high transverse strength - upper denture has 3pt loading (2 lateral and 1 middle downward force) * high fatigue strength - can withstand low stresses over a long time (design dependent) * high impact strength - withstand large stresses applied rapidly e.g. dropping onto hard surface - may form hairline fractures
74
ideal thermal properties of PMMA
* artificial tooth - avoid internal stress on cool * high thermal conductivity - so don't burn throat due to not being able to sense hot liquids
75
ideal density for PMMA
low aids retention - simple gravity law
76
setting reaction of PMMA
free radical addition polymerisation - adding two molecules of either same or different form to make a bigger molecule without elimination of smaller molecule (i.e. breaking C=C bonds)
77
4 stages in setting reaction of PMMA
activation initiation propagation termination
78
activation in PMMA reaction
heat to 72oC or more releases radical molecules from symmetrical benzoyle peroxide molecule
79
initiaion in PMMA reaction
free radicals break down C=C bond in methacrylate monomer and transfer free radical
80
propagation in PMMA reaction
growing polymer chain
81
termination in PMMA reaction

82
2 components in heat cure acrylic
powder liquid
83
powder constituents for heat cure acrylic
* initiator - Benzoyl Peroxide * PMMA particles - pre-polymerised beads * plasticiser - allows quicker dissolving in monomer liquid * co-polymers - improve mechanical properties
84
liquid constituents for heat cure acrylic
* Methacrylate monomer - dissolves PMMA beads and polymerises * Inhibitor - hydroquinone - prolongs shelf life by reacting with free radicals * co-polymers - improve mechanical properites
85
why is it key PMMA has efficient polymerisation
increased molecular weight = better mechanical properties
86
undercured acrylic
* free monomer - irritant * low molecular weight - poor mechanical properties
87
overcuring acrylic
* gaseous porisity * voids in acrylic caused by monomer boiling * polymerisation shrinkage * monomer shrinks 20% due to poor packing, lack of excess material * contraction porosity
88

100
crystal growth
atoms at these sites act as nuclei of crystallisation crystals grow to form dendrites (3D branched lattic network) crystals (or GRAINS) grow until they impinge on other crystals region where grains make contact is called a GRAIN BOUNDARY
101
types of metallic grains 3
equi-axed grains radial grains fibrous grains
102
equi-axed grains
if crystals growth of equal dimension in each direction
103
radial grains
molten metal cooled quickly in cylindrical mould
104
fibrous grains
wire pulled through die cold worked metal/alloy
105
3 ways to alter crystals
fast cooling more nuclei, small fine grains
106
slow cooling
few nuclei, large coarse grains
107
nucleating agents
impurities or additives act as foci for crystal growth
108
grains are
each grain is a single crystal (lattice) with atoms orientated in given directions (dendrites)
109
grain boundary
change in orientation of the crystal planes (impurities concentrate here)
110
small fine grains area advantageous because (2) but (1)
high elastic limit increased UTS and hardness decreased ductility
111
dislocation of columns (SLIP)
forces applied and defect moves along (propagation) * when defect reaches grain boundary the lattic changes into new shape to free defect dislocations - imperfections in crystal lattic increases * elastic limit * UTS * hardness decreases * ductility * impact resistance
112
3 factors impeding dislocation movement
* grain boundaries (hence the fine grains) * different alloys have different atom sizes * when cold working builds up at grain boudaries
113
cold working
* down at low temp - _below recrystallisation_ temperature so some changes can be made * causes _SLIP_ - dislocations collect at boundaries * results in stronger harder material * improves * elastic limit * UTS * hardness * decreases * ductility * corroision resistance * impact resistance RESULTS IN INTERNAL STRESSES
114
residual stress
not in perfect position - causes instability in the lattic * results in distortion over time (undesirable!) releived by annealing process
115
annealing
heating metal/alloy to cause thermal vibrations * vibration cause migration of atoms re-arrangement of atoms within grains * doesn't change mechanical properties or grain structure as a whole care has to be taken as if temp too high causes grains to swell and poorer mechnical properties
116
recrystallisation
spoils cold work benefit but allows further cold working continue bouts of cold work and recrystallisation until desired shape acheived _greater amount of cold work the lower recrystallisation temp_
117
alloy
combination of 2 or more metals or metals with a metalloid (Si, C) better mechanical properties than an individual metal lower melting point than individual metal
118
definition of 'phase' used to define the metallic components of grains
physically distinct homogenous structure (can have more than one component)
119
defintion of 'solution' used to define the metallic components of grains
homogenous mixture at an atomic scale
120
one phase =
grains consising of metal A only
121
two phase =
individual grains of metal A+B in lattic network (distinct)
122
solution =
one phase but metal A+B in homogenous mixture (solid solution)
123
3 states upon crystallisation
be insoulble, no common lattic (2 phases) intermetallic compound - with specific chemical formulation e.g. Ag3Sn be soluble and form a solid solution (3 types)
124
3 stypes of solid solution
_subsititution_ - atoms of one metal replace the other metal in the crystal lattic/grain * random substition * ordered substition _interstitial_ - atoms of markedly different in size - small atoms located in spaces in lattic/grain structure of a larger atom e.g. FeC
125
cooling curve - alloy TL
crystallisation begins
126
cooling curve - alloy TS
crystallisation ends
127
liquidus
temperature the alloy begins to crystallise
128
solidus
temperature where it solidifies (completely crystallised)
129
metals crystalise
at single temperature
130
alloys crystalise
over a temperature range
131
cooling and composition of alloys
**must cool molten alloys slowly** allows metal atoms to diffuse through lattice * ensure grain composition is homogenous downside is it has hard grains - so poor mechanical properties
132
rapid cooling of alloys causes
coring
133
coring alloys
rapid cooling of alloys causes a concentration gradient to form * different proportions of metal with one starting in low conc and increasing and the other metal antithesis of this coring helps improve mechanical properties by reducing dislocation movement and resulting in small grains
134
homongenising anneal
gentle heat and vibrate atoms, helps atoms to diffuse (below recrystalistallisation temperature) to reduce the coring but not altering the grain structure allowing a more homogenous proportion of metal right the way through its depth
135
dislocation in alloys
in metals the defect rolls smoothly over the lattic along the slip plane in alloys the defect has to 'fall' into the space between the large and small atoms and climbs over the atoms alonge the grain boundary but requires a great degree of effort to do so * instead of flying over a crowd of people you have to climb over them because you cant get through them* * Requires more stress to move dislocations in a solid solution = inherently better mechanical properties
136
eutetic alloys
alloy melts at a temperature higher than that of its individual metals (together = stronger)
137
eutetic alloys properties
physically distinc grains soluble in liquid state insoluble in solid state unusual in that it is an alloy which cools at a single temperature not over a range
138
function of impression material
produce an accurate replica of the surface and shape of hard and soft oral tissues
139
impression definition
negative reproduction of tissues
140
mucostatic
e.g. ZOE, low viscosity alginates fluid materials that displace the soft tissues slightly - i.e. give an impression of the undisplaced mucosa
141
mucocompressive
e.g. impresion compound, high viscosity alginates/elastomers viscous materials that record an impression of the mucosa under load i.e. give impression of displaced soft tissue
142
viscoelastic behaviour
it is advantageous to wait for a time TF - TL after removing the L tray before you pour the cast - so as to minimise permanent strain (deformation) remove the tray with a sharp pull to minimise permanent deformation
143
3 elastic impression materials | (not perfectly elastic!)
hydrocolloid - alginate elastomers
144
hydrocollid
A colloid is a 2 phase system of fine particles (1-200nm) of one phase dispersed in another phase (water is dispersing medium in hydrocolloid) e. g. irreversible alginate * reversible agar (no longer used as cross infection)*
145
alginate reaction
irreversible hydrocolloid 2 NanAlg + nCaSO4 ——\> nNa2SO4 + CanAlg Cross linking with Calcium allows the alginate to set * intermediate reaction between sodium to calcium stage allows a delay in setting * Use perforated tray with adhesive for alginate! * remove tray with a sharp pull * large bulk reduces strain on material
146
alginate composition
Sodium alginate (reacts w/ calcium ions) Calcium Sulphate (provides calcium ions) Trisodium sulphate (delays gel formation) Filler (increases cohesion and strength) Modifiers, flavourings, chemical indicators (surface, taste, pH)
147
2 elastomers
polysulphides polyethers (impregum) silicone
148
elastomers properties
monophase impression material can break stock trays - must make special tray made of prepolymer, catalyst and filler undergoes addition polymerisation type reaction
149
2 non elastic impression materials
impression compound impression paste
150
imp material accuracy needs
low viscosit wetting ability
151

155
perform is
potassium perozomonsulphate/sodium benzoate
156
stock imp trays
need to be rigid esp for single stage imp techniques involving putties
157
custom imp trays
acrylic - cold cure or light cure chairside silicone can be modified with green stick
158
perforations in imp trays
allows material to latch onto tray to prevent separation occuring (alginate) non perforated trays used with compound
159
cross section of imp trays
helps direct impression material square - dentate pt oval/rounded - edentulous

167
chromium role in stainless steel
lowers the temperature at which martensitic SS forms i.e. main component of hard SS used in ortho
168
nickel role in stainless steel
lowers critical temp that the austentite breaks down on cooling improve the corrosion resistance of the alloy improves strength
169
titanium role in stainless steel
prevents precipitation of chromium carbides at the grain boundaries
170
iron solid state phases
allotropic - undergoes 2 solid state phase changes 1) Temp \>1400oC - Body centred cubic lattice with low carbon solubility (0.05%) 2) Temp \> 900-1400oC - Face centred cubic lattice with higher carbon solubility (2%) 3) Temp \> \<900oC - Back to form in stage 1with temperature
171
solid solutions iron forms with carbon
Austenite * Interstitial solid solution * face centred cubic which exists at \>720oC Ferrite * Very dilute solid solution, exists at low temp Cementite * Fe3C, exists at low temp Pearlite * Eutectoid (minimum transformation temp between solid solution and simple mixture) * mix of ferrite and cementite (i.e because they are both at low temp)
172
aistentite quenched --\>
martensite
173
martenstie
formed because there is no time for diffusion of carbon through the lattice has a distorted BCC lattice is very brittle but this can be lessened by tempering
174
tempering of iron
Heating at 450oC following quenching, helps to control poor mechanical properties
175
how much chromium if stainless steel
\>13% chromium
176
chromium provides
corrosion resistance due to chromoium oxide layer in SS but can be attacked by chlorides Lowers the Austenite to Martensite temperature Lowers the Austenite to Martensite transition rate Decreases the % of carbon which forms a Eutectoid
177
martensititc SS
12-13% Chromium + little carbon Heat hardenable (tempering process) dental instruments often mate of
178
autenititic SS
contains sufficient Chromium and Nickel to suppress austenite to martensite transition i.e more than normal amounts of these metals Used in * sterilisable instruments which don’t have a cutting edge * Ortho wire, due to them being readily cold worked and their corrosion resistance * Sheet form for denture bases Corrosion resistance is more important than strength and hardness
179
wrought alloys definition
manipulated by cold working i. e. are drawn into wire shape e. g. ortho wire and partial denture clasps
180
requirement of wires 5
* high springiness/ Elastic Modulus (YM) * stiffness (High Young's Modulus) * high ductility * easily joined without impairing properties i.e. soldered or welded * corrosion resistant
181
springiness
ability of a material to undergo large deflection (to form arc) without permanent deformation i.e. returns to its original shape
182
weld decay
occurs at 500o-900oC chromium carbides build up at grain boundaries alloy becomes brittle * less chromium in central region of solid solution * periphery more susceptible to corrosion solution -\> low carbon steel, stabilised stainless stel with small amounts of titanium which forms carbides preferentially and not at grain boundaries
183
dentura base made of stainless steel advantages
* much thinner than acrylic * lighter * fracture resistant * corrosion resistant * polishable * high thermal conductivity * high impact strength - won't fracture when dropped * high abrasion resistance
184
denture base made of stainless steel negatives
* dimensional inaccuracy during die process * elastic recovery of steel can lead to inaccuracy * damage of die under hydraulic pressure * loss of fine detail * difficult to ensure uniform thickness
185
3 stages of dental ceramics setting reaction
vitreous phase fusion firing (sintering)
186
virteous phase of dental ceramics setting reaction
formed by a flux i.e. Feldspar, this breaks the terahedral structure of silica forms an amorphous 2D structure feldspar lowers the fusion and softening temperature of the glass during firing it forms a solid mass around the other components
187
fusion phase of dental ceramics setting reaction
feldspar reacts with the outer layers of silica known as Kaolin - melding the particles together and forms leucite at 1150-1500oC molten mass then is quenched and ground to a fine powder known as frit this stage that you incorporate opacifiers, metal oxides and crystalline alumina for colouring and strengthening
188
firing phase of dental ceramics setting reaction (sintering)
heating leads to sintering occurs just above the glass transistion temperature glass phase will soften and the particles coalesce causes contraction of the material by about 20%

composition of dental ceramics 4 elements
feldspar silica kaolin metallic oxides
190
feldspar in dental ceramics
potassium aluminium silicate and sodium aluminium silicate potash - PAS soda - SAS
191
silica in dental ceramics
formed by tetrahedra when reacting it forms an amorphous high melting point glass which bonds to the feldspar
192
Kaolin in dental ceramics
china clay confers opacity on porcelain and contributes to the formation of the glass matrix becomes sticky when mixed which allows the porcelain to be worked to shape a crown
193
metallic oxides in dental ceramics
small amounts of metallic oxides provided blended with unpigmented frit
194
properties of dental ceramics 5
aesthetics chemical stability thermal properties dimensional stability mechanical properties
195
aesthetics of dental ceramics
colour stable retain surface very well without staining smooth surface and have great optical properties
196
chemical stablity of dental ceramics
very stable unaffected by the pH changes and ranges in the mouth doesn't stain good biocompatability
197
thermal properties
similar to tooth subtance similar thermal expansion coefficient to dentine thermal diffusivity low too
198
dimensional stablity of dental ceramics
20% shrinkage when fired but in the mouth literally no change
199
mechanical properties of dental ceramic
very hard can damage opposing teeth if not glazed high compressive strength very low tensile strength
200
3 problems with dental ceramics
static fatigue surface micro-cracks slow crack growth together mean feldspathic ceramics can only be used in anterior region
201
static fatigue in dental ceramics
decrease in strength over time in the absence of any applied load, thought to be due to hydrolysis of Si-O groups within the material over time in an aqueous ennviroment
202
surface micro-cracks in dental ceramics
can occur during manufacture, finsihing or due to occlusal wear
203
slow crack growth in dental ceramics
cyclic fatigue under occlusal forces in a wet environment over time
204
3 types of copings
metal copings (porcelain fused to metal alloy) alumina core zirconia core
205
alumina core
core material in Porcelain Jacket Crowns better flexure strength than feldspathic porcelain alumina particles stock cracks propagating however its opaque so can't be used as a restorative material
206
zirconia core
zirconium dioxide * zirconia powder doesn't sinter unless heaated at over 1600oC * pure zirconia can crack on cooling * zirconia is a monoclinical structure * Ytrria stabilisation - allows zirconia to be used as a bridge * zirconia goes through manufacturing process and is veneered with feldspathic porcelin to produce the final restoration
207
Yttria stablisation of zirconia
zirconia contains small amounts of Yttria Yttria has a tetragonal structure (zirconia is monoclinical) crack starts, tip of crack causes the yttria to reach a critical stress level and causes it to convert to the monoclinical structure like the rest of zirconia which will manifest as the crack is healing over allows it be used for bridges
208
pros of zirconia core
great aesthetics because of cores opacity excellent fit
209
cons of zirconia core
expensive equipment initial but material is cheap porcelain can debond from core inert fitting surface so cannot etch or bond
210
cast/pressed ceramics process
lithium disilicate/reinforced glass is the ceramic used in this wax up restoration invested cast from ceramic ingot undergoes ceraming i.e. reheating it once cast to improve crystal structure and produce crack inhibiting crystals
211
ceraming stages (2)
1 - crystals formed: max no. nuclei formed 2 - crystal growth: max physical properties
212
luting crowns
any silica containing crowns can be etched with hydrofluric acid to produce a retentive surface * this surface can be bonded to using a silane coupling agent and then bonded to the tooth using an appropriate agent Zirconia crowns are inert so cannot be ethced, howevere strong enough to be self supporting and can be bonded with a traditional cement
213
milled Vs cast/pressed crowns
milled crowns have consistent physical properties meaning they are better overall
214
key properties of luting agents
* viscosity/film thickness * ease of use * radiopaque * marginal seal * biocompatibility * mechanical properties
215
viscosity film thickness of luting agent
dependent on size of powder/filling particles must be low to allow seating of restoration without interference viscosity increases as the material sets - highlighting the importance of seasting it quickly and with pressure 25 micro-metres thickness ideally
216
ease of use for luting agents
easy to mix working time should allow seating of restoration should have short setting time
217
radiopaque quality of luting cement
some ceramic crowns are radiolucent radiopacity allows marginal breakdown to be illicited on radiographs
218
marginal seal of luting cements
ideally should bond chemically to the tooth and form an inpenetrable bond
219
biocompatablity of luting agents
non toxic low thermal conductivity pulp friendly
220
mechanical properties of luting agents
high compressive strength high tensile strength high hardness YM similar to tooth
221
powder components of zinc phosphate cement
zinc oxide - main reactive ingredient magnium dioxide - gives white colour and compressive strength other oxides (alumina, silica) - improve physical properties and alter shade of material
222
liquid components of zinc phophate cement
phosphoric acid - aq solution aluminum oxide - ensures consistency of set material zinc oxide - retardant to reaction giving bettern working time
223
setting reaction of zinc phosphate cement
acid/base * ZnO + 2H3PO4 -\> Zn(H2​PO4) + H2O hydration reaction * ZnO + Zn(H2​PO4) + 2H2​O -\> Zn3(H2​PO4)2 . 4H2​O * makes Hopiete
224
aluminium oxide role in setting reactin of zinc phosphate cement
prevents crystallisation leading to an amorphous glassy material glassy matrix of acid salt surrounding unreacted ZnO powder Matrix is almost insoluble but is porous and contains free water from the setting reaction the cement matures and binds to the water leading to a stronger less porous material
225
evaluation of ZnO
Low initial pH of 2 can cause pulpal irritation Exothermic setting reaction Not adhesive to tooth or restoration - acts almost like grout - just filling in spaces Not cariostatic final set takes 24 hrs brittle opaque
226
evaluation of zinc polycarboxylate cement
Similar material to Zinc Phosphate cement but instead of Phosphoric acid it is replaced with Polyacrylic acid Bonds to tooth surfaces a bit like GIC Less exothermic pH is low to begin with but returns to normal faster, long chain acids less damaging to the dentine cheap but * difficult to mix * difficult to manipulate * soluble in oral environment at low pH * opaque * lower modulus and compressive strength
227
evaluation of glass ionomer cement
* low shrinkage/stablity * relativly insoluble once fully set * aesthetically better than ZnPhos * self adhesive to tooth substance * F release * cheap * highly soluble
228
composite luting cement bonding to indirect composite
* composite bonds to composite * micromechanical bonding occurs on the rought internal surface of the composite inlay * bond is also chemical to remaining unbroken C=C bonds on the inlay surface * using a dual curing cement as light penetration using conventional cement wouldn't work
229
composite luting cement bonding to porcelain
is brittle and is required to be bonded to tooth to prevent fracture untreated porcelain is smooth and non-retentive can be treated with HF to etch the surface (v.toxic) produces a rough retentive surface but is still not hydrophobic and compatible with composite resin luting agents **requires a surface wetting agent - silane coupling agent** thin porcelain - light cure composite can be used thick porcelain - dual cure needed
230
silane coupling agent when composite luting agent is bonding to porcelain
allows a strong bond to form between the silcon group in the porcelain and the base carbon as part of the composite monomer
231
composite luting agent bonding to metal
like porcelain, composite doesn't directly bond to metal metal surface needs roughened - etching or sandblasting electrolytic etching (beryllium alloys best) need a dual cure luting agent
232
composite luting agent bonding to non precious metals
use carboxylic/phosphoric acid derived materials MDP and 4-META both molecules have an acidic C=C end, this reacts with the metal oxide and renders the surface hydrophobic
233
bonding to precious metals with composite luting agent
change to precious allow composition to allow oxide formation increase copper content and head to 400oC sulphur based bonding agent
234
self etching composite resin luting agents
acid groups bind with calcium in HPA forming a stabilising attachement between tooth and resin ions from dissolution of filler neutralise the remaining acidic groups forming a chelate reinforced methacrtylate network limited removal of smear layer or significant infiltration into the tooth suface (only a couple of microns) good bond strength to dentine
235
self etching composite resin luting agents bond to enamel vs dentine vs ceramics vs metals
enamel * lower than dentine * should be etched with acid prior to application dentine * better than to enamel * no need to etch ceramics * brand specific - RelyX unicem bonds quite weel to sandblasted Zirconia metal * better to non-precious metal * not good enough for ortho brackets
236
temporary cements
dont fully set and remain soft so can be removed easily prep must be physical base * ZnO * start * mineral oil accelerator * resins * eugenol or ortho EBA * carnuaba wax wax weakens the structure of the set cement and makes it easier to remove material can be modified to make it weaker still by incorporating petroleum jelly into the mixture eugenol not used when permenanet cement willl be resin as it inhibits set
237
addition cured silicones polyvinylsiloxanes elastomer imp material
N.B Contain PDS but some of the methyl groups replaced by Hydrogen and Vinyl hence termed PS instead of PDS Base paste * polydimethylsiloxane - some methyl (CH3) groups replaced by hydrogen * filler - variations change viscosity Catalyst paste * polydimethylsiloxane - some methyl groups replaced by vinyl (CH2 =CH) * filler - variations change viscosity * platinum catalyst eg chloroplatinic acid Base Paste ((PDS (Hydrogen)) + Catalyst ((PDS) Vinyl)) + Chlorplatinic acid ——\> Cross linked Polymer formed (NO BYPRODUCTS) Hydrophilic Silicones * incorporate non-ionic surfactant * wets tooth surface * more easily wetted by water containing die materials
238
condensation cured silicones polydimethyl siloxane elastomer imp material
TYPE 1 reaction * Silicone Polymer + Organhydrogen Siloxane (cross linking agent) ——\> Cross linked Silicone Polymer + Hydrogen Evolved TYPE 2 reaction * Silicone Polymer (Double OH) + Alkoxy orthosilicate (cross linking agent) + Silicone Polymer (Single OH) —-\> Cross Linked polymer + Alcohol * within the monomer rather than the ends of chains
239
polyether components
base paste * amine terminated prepolymer for cross linking * inert filler (viscosity and strength) catalyst * ester derivative of aromatic sulphonic acid initiates polymerisation * inert oils and filler form paste polyether + sulphonate ester -\> cross linked material
240
3 phases of polyehter and sulphonate ester setting reaction
1) Activation \> Sulphonate Ester ionises and provides cations (+) to the reaction 2) Initiation \> Cations then open up Epimime rings in the prepolymer which releases a further cation 3) Propagation \> The chain reaction of cation release continues and the now ionic prepolymers join to form a larger chain as the ions are passed along
241
3 key factors for analysing imp materials
viscosity surface wetting contact angle
242
viscosity of imp material
determines a materials potential for making close contact with soft tissue surfaces = recording surface detail
243
surface wetting for imp material
must make intimate contact with teeth/mucosa
244
contact angle for imp material
determines how well the material envelopes hard/soft tissue surfaces
245
accuracy considerations for imp materials
reproduction of surface detail - should reproduce at least 50μm of detail viscoelasticity/elastic recovery- withdrawing impression quickly, less permanent deformation from strain
246
dealing with removal from undercuts for imp materials assessment
flow under pressure - shark fin test tear tensile strength on removal rigidity on removal
247
dimensional stablity for imp materials assessment
should be low setting shrinkage thermal expansion/contraction should be low - due to the disparity in temp from the oral cavity to the outside environment storage - some materials undergo synersis or imbibition causing dimensional change
248
stress concentration
abrupt changes in shape of a file that leads to a higher stress at that point aka a notch in the file
249
shape memory
when elastic limit is significantly higher than that of conventional metals, will deform when heated returb to its original shape
250
plastic deformnation
permanent bond displacement occuring when elastic limit is exceeded
251
plastic limit
the point in which a plastically defomed file breaks
252
cyclic fatigue
freely rotating in a curvature generaton of tension and compression cycles cyclic fatigue failure
253
torsional failure
when the load is suddently revered i.e. turning the file in the opposite direction to which has been
254
mechnical agitation
moving a substance by external vibration to allow said substance to fill a space
255
preparation of the canal for obturation
smear layer formed during preparation * organic pulpal material and inorganic dentinal debris * superifical 1-5μm with packing into tubules * bacterial contamination, substrate and interferes with disinfection * also prevents sealer penetration removal of smear layer * 17% EDTA * 10% citric acid * MTAD (mixture of a tetracylic isomeer, an acid and detergent) * sonic and ultrasonic irrigation * watch apical control
256
EDTA and NaOCl in canal
should never be in the canal at the same time because the EDTA neutralises the effectiveness of the NaOCl also forms papachloanailine which is cytotoxic and carcinogenic
257
ideal properties of obturation materials
* easily manipulated with ample working time * seals the canal laterally and apically * non-irritant * impervious to moisture * unaffected by tissue fluids * inhibits bacterial growth * radiopaque * does not discolour tooth * sterile * easily removed if necessary
258
gutta percha is
natural rubber and GP are polymers of the same monomer - transpolyisoprene comes in 2 forms: * α - used in themoplastic manipulation techniques, the natural occuring form and when heated above 65o becomes amorphous * β - more commonly used in cold lateral compaction - rapidly cooled and recrystalised alpha, used in commercially produced GP GP formulations are 60-75% Zinc Oxide inc a variety of other agents to allow them to be radiopaque on radiographs
259
ideal properties of sealing material
* exhibit tackiness to provide good adhesion * establishes a hermitic seal * radiopacity * easily mixed * no shrinkage on setting * non-staining * bacteriostatic or does not encourafe growth * slow set * insoluble in tissue fluids * soluble on retreatment
260
types of sealers
* ZOE * GI sealers * resin sealers * calcium silicate sealers * medicated sealers
261
ZOE sealer
* effective antimicrobial * offers cytoprotection * resin acids are 90% of the colophony (Rosin) in the material and these are strongly antimicrobial and cytotoxic * altough toxic may be overall beneficial with longlasting antimicrobial effect and cytoprotection * formation of eugenolate consititutes hardening, this is accelerated by CaOH so this must be removed from the canals * remaining eugenol can act as an irritant * lose volume with time due to dissolution - resins can modify this
262
GI sealers
* advocated due to dentine bonding properties * removal upon retreatment is difficult * minimal antimicrobial activity * not enough data yet
263
3 types of resin sealer
AH plus Epiphany EndoRez
264
AH plus resin sealer
* long history of use - development of AH26 * epoxy resin * paste-paste mixing * slow setting - 8 hrs * good sealing ability * good flow * initial toxicity declining after 24hrs
265
epiphany resin sealer
dual cure dental resin composite sealer - used with Resilon * BisGMA * Ethoxylated BisGMA * Urethane-dimethacrylate UDMA * hydrophillic difucntional methacrylates * fillers of calcium hydroxide, barium sulphate, barium glass and silica requires self-etch primer
266
EndoRez
UDMA resin-based sealer * hydrophillic * good penetration into tubules * biocompatible * good radio-opacity
267
Calcium silicate sealers
* high pH (12.8) during intial 24hrs of the setting * hydrophillic * enhanced biocompatibility * does not shrink on setting * non-resobable * excellent sealing ability * quick set - 3-4hrs - requires moisture * easy to use
268
medicated sealers
sealers containing paraformaldehyde not acceptable lead and mercury components removed severe adn permanent toxic effects on periradicular tissues sargenti paste, endomethasone, SPAD
269
how are investment materials used
wax pattern made (e.g. crown, inlay etc) investment material poured around wax pattern and allowed to set (mould) wax then eliminated (boiled out) molten alloy is then forced into the cavity left by the wax via sprues prepared in the investment material
270
components of all investment materials
refractory - silica (quartz/tridymite/crisotbalite) binder - gypsum/phosphate/silicate modifiers - change physical properties
271
gypsum bonded material
Supplied as powders and mixed with water and silica and calcium sulphate hemihydrate with other components that control setting time * quartz withstands high temps and gives expansion _Thermal inversion_ is when the silica is heated so that it undergoes a phase transformation and expands (alpha \> beta quartz) Above 320oC there is contraction of the investment material which causes water loss, this can be reduced by modifiers like sodium chloride and boric acid Heat Soaking * \> 700​oC * CaSO4 + 4C ——\> CaS + 4CO * (THEN) 3CaSO4 + CaS ——\> 4CaO + 4SO2 * Allow heat soaking to complete to allow gases to escape Chemical stability * \<1200​oC satisfies requirements * \>1200​oC problems with sulphur trioxide production - causes corrosion and porosity in alloy castings * Therefore only allots with melting point of \<1200 allowed
272
phosphate bonded materials
Powder * Silica * Magnesium Oxide * Ammonium Phosphate Liquid * Water * Colloidal Silica (increases strength, undergoes _hygroscopic_ expansion) Magnesium Oxide + Ammonium Phosphate + Water/Colloidal Silica —— \> Magnesium Ammonium Sulphate Type 1 PBMs * Inlays, crowns and other fixed restorations Type 2 PBMs * RPDs and other cast removable restorations * Don’t require outer casting ring
273
silica bonded materials
* Powdered Quartz/Cristobalite bonded with silica gel * Silica gel becomes Silica and is a tightly packed mass of particles * Binder is usually Ethyl Silicate with Hydrochloric acid and Industrial spirit * the ethyl silicate is hydrolysed releasing alcohol and forming silica gel * the Hydrolysis and gelation can be accelerated by Piperidine but this causes alot of shrinkage * Ethyl silicate mediated materials dont dimensionally change on setting because they are _Thermal expanders_ * their linear expansion = their linear thermal expansion unlike gypsum/phosphate
274
GIC polyacid components
* polyacrylic acid (ionic monomers) * copolymers of acrylic and itaconic acid * or Acrylic and maleic acid * tartaric acid * added to control the setting characteristics of material
275
powder (base, metal) components of GIC
* silica * alumina * calcium fluoride * aluminium fluoride * alumonium phosphate * sodium fluoride adding Strontium + lithium salts increase radiopacity but dont take part in reaction
276
setting reaction of GIC phases
* dissoluion * gelation * hardening
277
reaction for GIC
MO.SiO2 + H2A -\> MA + SiO2 + H2O M=metal A=polyacid glass + acid -\> salt + silica gel
278
dissolution phase for GIC
Acid into Solution H+ ions attack the glass surface Ca, Al, Na and F ions are released Leaves silica gel around the unreacted glass
279
gelation phase for GIC
Inital set due to Ca2+ ions cross linkinh w/ polyacid by chelation with carboxyl groups Bivalent so can bind to two carboxyl groups Chelation can happen twice on same molecule of polyacid (gels toonmuch?) At this point the material will appear hard in the mouth (after a fewminutes) caused by formation of calcium polyacrylate
280
hardening phase for GIC
Trivalent Aluminium increases crosslinking Formation of Aluminium Polyacrylate 30 mins to a week to happen - Helps mechanical properties greatly
281
imp points for GIC setting
Must be moisture and dessication free *i.e not too wet or dry* This is most important during the hardening phase if not achieved aluminium will leach out- less cross linking, water lost from matrix if dessicated, saliva contamination causes excess water absorption = A WEAK MATERIAL
282
protection for conventional GIC
* Varnishes * Copal ether * Acetate * Resins * Dentine/Enamel bonding agents * Unfilled Bis-GMA resins * Greases/Gels * Vaseline (not great as removed quickly by lips and tongue)
283
properties of GIC
Can bond to enamel and Dentine w/o use of intermediate material Bond strength pretty poor (5-20 MPa) Poor Tensile strength Lower compressive strength than composite (less than 50%) Higher solubility than composite due to unprotected material during gelation phase Usually seals well Fluoride release (for short time) Bonding\*\* * Carboxyl (COO groups) in cement bond to Ca in the enamel! * In addition there is Hydrogen bonding and metallic ion bridging to the collagen in enamel too * IT IS CONDITIONED NOT ETCHED!! W/ POLYACRYLIC ACID!!
284
powder components of RMGIC
* Fluro-Alumino-Silicate glass * Barium glass (provides radiopacity) * Vacuum dried polyacrylic acid * Pottasium persulphate (redox catalyst - cures resin in the dark) * Ascorbic acid * Pigments (vary in shade for aesthetics)
285
liquid components of RMGIC
* HEMA (water miscible resin) * Polyacrylic acid with pendant methyacrylate (undergo acid/base reactions and polymerisation) * Tartaric Acid (speeds up setting reaction) * Water (allows reaction between polyacid and glass) * Photoinitiators - ALLOW LIGHT CURE
286
two types of setting reaction for RMGIC
dual curing tri curing
287
dual curing RMGIC
On mixing proceeds like the normal GIC (dissolution) Light activation causes free radical methycrylate reaction to occur = resin matrix formed Acid Base reaction occurs for several hours afer
288
tri curing for RMGIC
On mixing proceeds like the normal GIC (dissolution) Redox reaction begins Light activation- resin matrix formed Redox reaction continues for 5 mins after initial mix Acid base reaction occurs for several hours Final hardening may take days
289
RMGI vs GI
Better physical properties Lower solubility Fluoride release Better translucency/aesthetics Better handling
290
role of cavity liners
* prevents gaps * acts as a protective barrier e.g in Amalgam Cavity base lining placed in bulk to block undercuts for metal restorations lining for exposed dentine- promotes pulpal health
291
liner as a pulp protection protects from
1. chemical stimuli - unreacted chemicals in filling material/pH of filling material 2. thermal stimuli - exothermic setting of composite#heat conduction amalgam/gold 3. bacteria + endotoxins - microleakage (against oral fluids and bacteria and their toxins ingressing between material and cavosurface margins)
292
liner therapeuatic and palliative role
therapeutic role in calming down pulpal inflammation and promote healing palliative reduce symptoms in pts with irreversible pulpitis
293
ease of use for liners
should be command set workable easy to mix
294
thermal properties conductivity
how well heat energy is transferred through a material Heat flow through a cylinder of unit cross sectional area with a temp difference of 1oC between both ends Cavity lining should have as low thermal conductivity as possible!!
295
thermal properties thermal expansion coefficient
change in length per unit length for a rise of 1\*C (in ppm\*C-1) Liner should match thermal coefficient of tooth! GIC has better TEC than RMGI
296
thermal diffusivity
similar to conductivity measured in cm2/sec Liners have similar or lower thermal diffusivity than enamel Amalgam much higher than tooth tissue- hence use of liner
297
desired mechanical properties for cavity liners
High compressive strength allows placement of filling without breakage similar modulus to dentine Radiopaque Marginal seal low solubulity Cariostatic (fluoride release/ antibacterial) Biocompatability (non toxic, pH neutral, not exothermic)
298
4 types of cavity liners
calcium hydroxide liner (dycal, life) zinc oxide cements resin modified zoe GIC/RMGIC
299
calcium hydroxide liner
dycal, life Components * Base- Calcium Hydroxide, Zinc Oxide Filler, Plasticiser * Catalyst- Butylene glycol Disalicylate (reactive element), filler, radiopaquer Setting reaction * Butylene glycol disalicylate + Zinc Oxide filler = chelation and at pH 12 Mode of action * irritates odontoblast layer- forms reparative dentine, calcium from pulp helps to form a bridge between pulp and dentine, high alkaline content is bactericidal
300
zinc oxide cements used as cavity base
Zinc Oxide Eugenol- used as a cavity liner, PD dressing and root canal sealer Eugenol can have obtundant effect (reduce dentine sensation) and reduce pulpal pain \*inhibits set of composite resin material!! shouldn’t be used! Zinc Oxide + Eugenol= Zinc Oxide Eugenolate + Water (Base) + (Acid) = (Salt ) + (Water)
301
resin modified ZOE as cavity base
adds resin to the ZnO/Eugenolate matrix to reduce solubility
302
GIC/RMGIC as base or liner
can actually bond Amalgam to tooth as the bond goes Tooth—RMGI—Amalgam (it bond to rest.material) Palliative cements- Base (seldom used)
303
powder components of amalgam
50% by weight - mainly silver, tin and copper * Silver and Tin- intermetallic compound Ag3Sn * Copper- increases strength & hardness * Zn - scavenger during production - preferentially oxidises & slag formed / removed - some zinc free * \*Hg in powder - (few materials)– “pre-amalgamated” alloys - react faster
304
liquid amalgam components
* Hg (50% by weight) triple distilled (very pure) – reacts with other metals
305
particle types for amalgam
lathe cut (coarse medium or fine) - formed by filing ingots spherical/spheroidal - range of particle sizes, formed by sparying molten metal into inert atmosphere
306
setting reaction for amalgam
Silver/Tin Powder reacts with Liquid Mercury Some unreacted Silver/Tin Powder remains Silver Mercury (y1) and Tin Mercury (y2) form amalgam matrix Modern amalgam sets with a small amount of contraction (due to a solidsolution of mercury forming in with the Silver/Tin (only -0.2% contraction so very small)
307
effect of Zn in amalgam clinically
Zn + H20 (saliva) -\> ZnO + H2 (gas) Hydrogen gas causes pressure expansion of amalgam downward pressure = pulpal pain upward pressure= sitting proud of surface - chipped off ∴ Zinc free materials!
308
factors affecting Amalgam strength
Amalgam strength usually ok after 24 hrs however is decreased by the following * Undermixing * Too high Hg content after condensation * poor condensation pressure * slow rate of packing- increments dont bond * corrosion by oral fluid
309
corrosion of amalgam
y2 most electronegative (tin and mercury) this weakens amalgam particularly at the margins orrosion products may actually hep with sealing margins reduce corrosion by * copper enriched materials * polishing margins * avoiding galvanic cells (stops random redox reactions from occuring due to two different metals with different electronegavity contacting)
310
Cu enriched amalgams
* Gives higher early strength * Less creep * Higher corrosion resistance * Increased durability of margins either * single composition formulations * dispersion modified setting reaction
