| aqueous systems that wet tooth structure well
93
disadvantages of glass ionomer
high viscosity
| do not readily adapt to micromechanical spaces
94

no associated secondary caries
significant marginal disintegration and restoration solubility
96

reduced or no saliva flow
oral diseases that accelerate pathogenicity
98
method to reduce caries risk during microleakage in gingival areas with little or no enamel

99
when glass ionomers exposed to unusually high levels of external fluoride ions (topical fluoride, rinses, etc)
concentration gradient reverses and fluoride diffuses into glass ionomer
100
recharging
when glass ionomer exposed to high external fluoride levels and concentration gradient reverses, allowing fluoride to diffuse into GI
discharging occurs just as quickly
doesn't significantly improve secondary caries prevention
101

false; discharging occurs as quickly as recharging began
102
biocompatibility issues with glass ionomers
sensitivity and pulpal irritation at time of initial mixing
| pH starts very low (1)
103
why are GI pulpal effects limited to area immediately adjacent to material?
acid groups are attached to polymer molecules that have limited diffusibility

if remaining dentin thickness less than 0.5mm
| protect from unset glass ionomer
105
type of liner used for glass ionomer
calcium hydroxide
106
fluid filled dentin tubules in direct contact with setting cement what happens?
1. high ion concentrations in unset GI cause dentinal fluid to diffuse out into cement. fluid movement sensed by pressure receptors = pulpal sensitivity
2. unset components such as hydrogen ions move into tubules and towards pulp. Tubule fluid contents buffer ions when RDT is adequate
107
methods to increase mechanical strength of GI materials used for restorations
mix at higher powder:liquid ratio
(higher filler:matrix)
reduced matrix content decreases postop sensitivity or pulpal problems.
Line preps with CaOH to provide barrier from unset GI while material is curing
108
true/false? It is safe to dry demineralized dentin during etch and rinse adhesives
no! can result in collagen collapse
109
goal of etch and rinse adhesives
find moist bonding techniques by combining hydrophilic and hydrophobic monomers into organic solvent
110
advantage of etch and rinse adhesives
can re-wet dentin after drying to raise bonding strengths
| demineralized dentin collagen matrix reexpands and recovers original dimensions
111
2 step self etch
nonrinsing conditioners of self priming etchants
prime/etch enamel and dentin simultaneously
not as good as phosphoric acid
no deep depth of demineralization or resin infiltration
doesn't completely remove smear layer = less postop sensitivity
112
1 step self etch
etch, prime, bond in one solution
uncured, ionic monomers that contact restorative resin directly
some hydrophilic = water degradation
multiple coats increase bond strength, decrease leakage
hydrophobic bonding layer is helpful
do NOT provide hermetic seal for deep dentin
113
etch and rinse adhesive solvent
displaces water from dentin surface and promotes infiltration of resin monomers throughout nanospaces of collagen web
114
if you get too much water onto primer can you continue?
no, excess moisture makes it ineffective
115
what should happen BEFORE application of etch and rinse adhesive system?
uniform layer of water over dentin
116
role of water in self-etch systems
added to ionize acidic methacrylate monomers
solubilize calcium and phosphate ions that form from interactions of monomer with dentin/enamel
117
true/false? water can compromise properties of one step self etch adhesives
true (hydrophilic monomers = water degradation)
118
role of protein in dentin bonding
partial removal of phosphor-proteins from root lesions enhances remineralization otential
119
demineralized dentin treated with adhesive layer leads to
remineralization
120
nanoleakage
small porosities in hybrid layer or transition between hybrid and mineralized dentin allow penetration of AgNO3 dye
121
nanoleakage results in
reticular pattern on adhesive layer and spotted pattern on hybrid layer
