Q

Degree of Conversion (DC):

A

Ratio of bonded to unbonded surfaces

  • The percentage of carbon-carbon double bonds that have been converted to single bonds to form a polymeric resin.
  • The higher the DC, the better the properties of the composite resin and thus, the performance.
  • DC in direct composites is 50-70%.
  • Similar for self-cure and light-cure. • Better for indirect composites.

Q

GIC-Chemical Adhesion to Hydroxyapatite:

A
  • Bonding happens because the carboxyl groups of the polyacrylic acid react with Calcium of the Hydroxyapatite.
  • Bonds better to enamel than dentin, due to higher inorganic content.
  • Self-bonding is the main advantage of GICs.

Q

GIC-Fluoride Release:

A

• Large amounts in the first 24 hours and then lower. • Higher is not necessarily better.

– The F- is exchanged with OH- and this acidifies the surrounding medium.

– If the pH falls under 4, the mineral will resolve and reprecipitate as CaF2.

– If the pH is 4-4.5 it reprecipitates as Fluorapatite.

  • Can be recharged with Fluoride (F reservoir).
  • Fluoride release does not affect the properties of the cement.

Q

Glass Ionomer Setting Reaction:

A
  • Acid-base reaction with polyacrylic acid acting on and partially dissolving alumino-silicate glass.
  • This reaction results in a significant fluoride release at a very high level, completed in 24 hours.
  • After that, there is a continual low-level release of fluoride that is likely well below the threshold necessary to protect against secondary caries.
  • GI materials must be “recharged” with fluoride, which can then be re-released in order to provide protection.

Q

2020 EUC Operative Dentistry Protocol:

A
  • If the remaining thickness of dentin is less than 2mm between the pulp and the pulpal floor, we will place GI or RMGI cement as a liner.
  • The goal is to seal deep dentin and have 2mm of dentin + liner between the pulp and the restorative material.
  • In case of pulp exposure or pink color showing from the pulp (less than 0.5mm to the pulp), place minimal MTA or Ca(OH)2 and cover with RMGI.
  • Follow the above protocol for deep preparations or pulp exposures to non symptomatic teeth (RMGI or MTA / Ca(OH)2 + RMGI).
  • Follow the above protocol for deep preparations or pulp exposures to non symptomatic teeth (RMGI or MTA / Ca(OH)2 + RMGI).
  • RMGI in moderate depth tooth preparations is optional.

Q

Michael Buoncore Eastman Dental Center - USA:

A

Sealing of pits and fissures with an adhesive resin: its use in caries prevention.

68
Q

Acid Etching:

A

Acid etching transforms the smooth enamel into an irregular surface and increases its surface-free energy.

69
Q

Resin Tag Formation:

A
  • A fluid resin-based material is applied to the irregular etched surface and the resin penetrates into the surface.
  • Monomers in the material polymerize, and the material becomes interlocked with the enamel surface. →The formation of resin micro-tags within the enamel surface is the fundamental mechanism of resin-enamel adhesion.
70
Q

Enamel Adhesion:

A
  • Acid Etch (phosphoric acid 35% for at least 30 sec).
  • Resin tags.
  • High bond strength.
  • Reliable bond.
71
Q

Dentin Adhesion:

A

Materials can interact with dentin mechanically or chemically or both.

  • Major mechanism of adhesion is micromechanical interlocking of resin into the network of collagen fibrils left exposed by acid etching.
  • Glass ionomer cements and some phosphatebased self-etch adhesives, offer some chemical bonding. →Dentin is a dynamic substrate and consequently, adhesion is difficult and unpredictable. Dentin adhesion is not reliable
72
Q

Challenges in Dentin Adhesion:

A
  • Dentin contains water and organic substance, mainly type I collagen. Enamel contains mainly hydroxyapatite.
  • The number of tubules is increasing closer to the pulp in number and size. The quality of adhesion gets lower.
  • Dentin is an intrinsically hydrated tissue.
  • Fluid filled tubules with a collagen network lining the inter-tubular dentin.
  • Resins are hydrophobic.
  • Degradation of collagen by dentin proteinases is known to negatively affect the bonded interface.
  • It happens in varying time after the etching and application of the adhesive.
73
Q

Smear Layer:

A

Whenever tooth structure is prepared with a bur or other instrument, residual organic and inorganic components form a “smear layer” of debris on the surface.

• The smear layer fills the orifices of dentin tubules, forming “smear plugs”.

74

– remove the smear layer.

A
  • Do not contain a final hydrophobic bonding agent layer.
  • Contain solvents and other hydrophilic components from the primer that are mixed with the hydrophobic monomers from the bonding agent.

Q

Hydrophilicity & Dentin:

A
  • In order for hybridization to happen we need a primer that is compatible to dentin and this HAS to be hydrophilic as dentin is by definition a wet substance. You cannot dry dentin.
  • SE also need to etch dentin. So they contain acids to be able to etch and also to be hydrophilic.
  • The acids used in the SE primers are very hydrophilic.
  • So, you want both acidity and hydrophilicity. This, at the time of placement of your adhesive, so you etch and hybridize.
94
Q

Acidity of Self – Etch Systems (pH):

A

pH < 2
