What is the objective of cavity bases? (2)
- Replace lost tissues.
2. Avoid problems due to the treatment technique and complications from final restoration material behavior
What materials are used for cavity bases? (3)
- GIC
- eugenol cements, biodentin
- adhesives
+ composite resins
Whats the principal component of GIC?
Polyalkenoic acids
*bond calcium and phosphate of the tooth
GIC and adhesive?
not needed because it bonds chemically
What are the main components of GIC?
- Polyalkenoic acids
- water (50%)
- tartaric acid
- glass particles
What is the acid of GIC? (4)
Polyalkenoic acids:
- AC polyacrylic, polymaleic acid and itaconic acid
What type of reaction does GIC have?
acid-base chemical reaction
What components are part of the glass particles of GIC? (4)
it is the BASE
- crystals of Si, Al and F (calcium flouride)
What is tartaric acid in GIC?
Setting accelerators
What does the water do in GIC?
setting essential
What are the other components of GIC?
Radiopacifiers
pigments
resin reinforcers
What is the radiopacer component of GIC?
Silver
Zn oxide
OR barium glass
What is the pigment component of GIC?
aesthetics
What are the resin reinforcers of GIC?
Metals (dissued)
Light & self cured resins
Why are there light and self cured resins in GIC?
- Improve the mechanical and esthetic properties.
- Protect from moisture and drying: less moisture-sensitive.
- Facilitate handling: Longer working time
How are GICs classified? (3)
- Conventional
- Hybrid
- Compomers
What is the conventional GIC?
- acid base reaction
- mixed with water
What is hybrid GIC? (2)
- 2 independent reaction settings
* GIC with resin - photo or light curing
What are the 2 independent reactions of GIC?
- acid / base (common to all GIC)
- Photo
What is compomer GIC?
Mainly resin with GIC added
- considered resins not cements
- higher photo resin content
GIC and acid susceptibility?
- conventional GIC
- predisposed to acid erosion because GIC is inorganic
- less acid suspectibility in resin-modified GIC
What is conventional GIC used as?
- cement
- provisional restoration
Conventional GIC and occlusal forces?
Don’t expose to occlusal forces because it will break
Why are resins added to GIC? (3)
- To achieve less curing time.
- Less sensitive to handle in the initial setting phase.
- Get a surface that chemically joins the composite resins.
