- UV absorbers - prevent discoloration in sunlight.
What prevents premature polymerization in resin composites
polymerization stabilizers
WHat is the main polymer system used for resin composites
Bowmen's resin
- it combines two methacrylate groups to --> dimethacylate.

This results in
1. A place for free radical addtion polymerization to occur --> setting mechanism

2.) the dimethacrylate regions allow for a place for Rigid croos links to form between the polymer chains!!!!!
Alternative to Bowmen's Resin for use in composite resins
Urethane dimethacrylate

From the name you could guess that it is similar to the previous component we talked about.
What are a few problems that can occur with Bowmen's resin.
Bis GMA is very viscous and so something needs to be added to let it flow

- That something si TEGDMA - a monomer

- Problem with the monomer --> causes increases in shrinkagea!
Why are fillers used in resin composites
They cause an increase in some key properties.

- Alone, they are very RIGID and experience high stress when under strain.

During syringing, hydrogen bonds are broken and then they quickly reform tomate sure the mnaterial doesn't slump.
What is the goal of getting a packable composite?
You essentially want to mimic the condensation properties of dental amalgam

- generally not as great as expected.
What is a compomer?
Compomers” are recently introduced products marketed as a new class of dental materials. These materials are said to provide the combined benefits of composites (the “comp” in their name) and glass ionomers (“omer”). Based on an critical review of the literature, the author argues that “compomers” do not represent a new class of dental materials but are merely a marketing name given to a dental composite.
According to dr. Combe what are they
Poly-acid modified resins (composites) + glass ionomers

They set by polymerization only.
WHat happens when a glass isomer is added to a resin composte material
Mechanical = reduces toughness

It has an acidity close to that of phosphoric acid
What is a pit and fissure sealant?
A material that is placed in pits and fissures of teeth in order to prevent or arrest the development of denal caries.
Why do we use sealants?
Best way to keep the area from cavities!
- makes easier to clean
- fluoride protection
- barier against food and microbes.
History of sealants?
old attempts
now used
Old = Super glue ( cyanoacylates)
- Now --> acid etching + dimethacrylate resin (Bis-GMA + TEGDMA)
What is our concerns with sealants
If incomplete polmerizatoin occurs, TEGDMA may come out of the resin
--> TEGMA degraded via enzymes --> Bi

can occur at room temp.
What are the practical stages in the preparation of an amalgam restoration
1. Mix powdered allowy with liquid mercury
2. Metallic paste is formed
3. Paste is packed (condensed) into tooth cavity
4.) Material is carved to correct anatomy
5.) Amalgamation RXN occurs
6. Material sets and hardens
7.) Restoration is polished
Describe the intermetallic compond Ag3Sn (y phase)
The component of Ag3Sn
- 73.15 % Ag
- 26.85 % Sn

How does it come together
- Melting Ag and Sn in the correct proportions
- solifiy the material
- Ue a machine to form a powder (lathe cut)
OR
- can be preparted into spherical form by the use of atomizing material
Discuss the reaction of Ag3Sn with Hg
silver tin (Ag3Sn) + mercury yields three compounds
1. Silver- mercury (y1)
2. Tin - mercury (y2)

Also some unreacted Ag3Sn (found in the core)

rest is the combo of y1 and y2
Describe the structure of the set material resulting in the reaction of Ag3Sn (y phase) with mercury
A core of unreacted powder surrouned by reaction products from the reaction

- JUST LIKE CEMENT

- the tin-mercury actually collects in small particles

- the Sliver mercury seems to dispurse well.
What is the composition of traditional amalgams
There was mixture of Silver, tin copper and zin, listed from highest to lowest

- CU increases the strength and hardness

Zn is the Scavenger for Ox during manufacture --> this helps the production of the product
In the traditional, low Cu alloys, what happens when the amount of Sn, Ag is off
To much Sn ( tin) --> contraction on setting

TOo much Ag (silver) --> excess expansion on setting
Why was the level of Cu low in the first alloys
It was believed that that more than 6% Cu would result in excess expansion

However it is actually better with more.
What are some limitations of the low copper amalgams
The y2 phase is the biggest problem ( Tin- mercury)

- This is because it is the softest of the three phases
- Most likely liable to suffer from electolytic corrosions
Within amalgam, what is the anode and what is the catode?
y1 (with silver) is the CATHOD

y2 is the ANODE (tin is just easier to influence than silver. )
What is the consequences of corrosoin of y2 (tin)
Sn 7-8Hg

- Tin salts get together with Mercury resulting in:

- more amalgamation
- mercuroscopic expansion (compromises marginal integrity)
How was the corroson of y2 fixed
The amount of Cu was increased- Make the compound essentially free of the y2 compound
Discuss the effects of Cu in "high copper" amalgam
There is no y2

This is because it forms initially but hten reacts to form a:
- coppper tin compound
- more y1
classify contemporary "high copper" amalgams
two main types
- Blended allowy (dispersally
- Single composition (tytin)
Tell me a little about blended high- Cu alloys.
Made of two parts.
Ag3 Sn ( like older allowys)

PLUS

1 part of weight silver copper (copper in the traditional is only about 4% and is up to 12% in the dispersalloy

- Creates AgCu spheers

- REALLY A VARIETY OF SIZED ANd SHAPES
What is the composition of single composition of high Cu alloys
Sybraloy has 28% copper while Tytin has 13 % copper.

The difference betwee the two is mainly made by altering amount of silver
What is the the difference in condensation characteristic between high cooper amalgam blended and single composition
Blended --> positive packing --> this occurs during condensation

- Single Composition -- less condensation force--> harder to pack --> causes possible open proximal contact

- Tytin claims to be easier to condense (advantge of the contrast.
Discuss the structure of contemporary 'high copper' amalgam
when it is set it will have these areas that are just composed fo Cu and Sn so they essentially act as silver sink holes to not allow corrosion.
Discuss the manipulative factors that influence the properties of amalgam.
Think about each variation that could happen in each of the prep steps.

Things we must considers
- ratio of ratio/mercury
- mixing (trituratino)
- condensation
- carving
- polishing
- mercury hygiene
How can the alloy/hg ratio be altered
now this is not much of a factor to deal with because th Alloy and Hg are encapsulated

- about 50-50 mixture

- Too much Hg can result in a altered restoration
Ho do you ensure you get the mixing time correct if using a machine or hand
make sure your machine has accurate time teler.

If undermixed - unworkable mix

If overtriturated - excess contraction will occur during setting.
What term refers to the hand mixing of amalgam
Trituration
How do you manipulate the Aim phase of the condensation condensation stage
- place material in increments
- express excess mercury
- ensure that the incruments are bonded to each ofther and avoid layers.
What are all considerations of Condensation>
1. goals: get amalgam where it has to go and ensure that you have good bonding!
2. time of condensation
3. Force and spped of condensation
Why do you carve amalgam
To remove excess hg-rich layer of material.
- to establish the correct anatomy
why do you want to polish amalgam?
- less plaque deposition
- less chance fo corrosion
- mimics surface of enamel with is smooth.
What is the pneumonic that covers all of the properties of a biomaterial/?
1. B = Biocompatibility
2. I = interfacial properties
3. C = Chemical - corrosion - electrochemical
4. M = mechanical = other physical properties
5. E = Esthethic
6. P= practicability.
What are some key consideratinos in discussing the properties of amalgam biocompatibility?
There has been much debate to if it is safe of not but it comes down to understandy the properties of amalgam (form, quantity, frequency, and effect)
What does the toxicity of mercury depend on?
- The form
- Quantity of exposure
- Frequency of exposure
- efect that each from of mercury has.
What forms can mercury be found in?
1. Liquid
2. vapor
3. Intermetallic compound
4. Organometallic compound
What should be understood about liquid mercury
If it is swallowed, it is not absorbed well. It also has a high vapor pressure (what you really have to watch out for)

The big problems are:
- kin contact to absorb HG
- few people have alergic responses.
What should be understood about vapor mercury
- It is very toxic and dangerous to dental staff
- It can cross alveolar membrane and get into the blood stream
What should be remembered about mercury found in the form of intermetallic compounds?
They are found normally in set amalgam.

They are COMPARATIVELY insoluble and harmless
What should be remembered about mercury found in the form of organomercury compounds
- Methy Mercury is VERY TOXIC
- this is wht you can find in certain fish.

- Can be found in amalgam but it's comparatively low to other things.
What keeps an amalgam restoration in place?
1. Mechanical retention ( undercuts)

2. Bonding systems work on dentin, but not really amalgam.
What is happening with amalgam at the material tooth interface.
There is a lot of stress because the Amalgam is able to expand and contract more than the tooth and is more thermally conducting than the tooth.

Amalgam has more exteme properties.
what does the modulus of elasticity essentially stand for
The stiffness of a material.

Higher modulus --> high stiffness
what is the interface
The area between the mateial and the tooth substance
What is marginal microleakage
the passage of bacteria, fluids, molecules, or ions between a cavity wall and restorative material
What leads to an increase or decrease in amalgam corrosoin
Increase
- low copper = y2 corrosion
- gold in contact with amalgam

Decreases
- increased amount of copper
- polishing
With time what happens to the strength of amalgam
It increses!
What is creep
The slow deformation of material understress

- seen in amalgam
- less seen in high Cu amalgam
What does "ditching" or margins mean
Marginal failure, usually do to the creep of the material so...
see less in higher Cu (newer) amalgam.
What must be considered about the termal conduction of amalgam
- Amalgam is a good thermal conductor! It conducts heat so placement must be made with the pulp chambers location in mind.
WHat could happen if zinc and mosture is avalibe during amalgam setting.
It would cause the amalgam to flow and expand.
Why id dental amalgam seldomly used alond when restoring a tooth?
becuase there would be problems with:
- microleakage
- adhesion
-termal conductivity
