Adhesion Requirements
1. HIGH wettability
2. HIGH surface energy
3. HIGH contact area
4. LOW contact angle
Smear Layer
Hydroxyapatite, collagen, water, oil and bacteria

Lowers the dentin permeability in 86%

0.5-5.0 micrometers
Acid Etchant
- Phosphoric Acid (30-40%)

- Gel, semi-gel or liquid
Etchant Effect
- Increase the contact area
- Increase the surface energy
- Lower the contact angle
- Leaves a porous surface
- Removes the smear layer
- Demineralized dentin (7.5 um)
- Expose collagen fibers
- Lowers the surface energy
Primer
- Monomers (hema) + solvents (water, acetone, alcohol)
- Bi-functional molecules
- Displace water and leave a layer of hema on surface of collagen
- Turn the surface compatible for the adhesive
- Hydrophobic (bis-gma) and hydrophilic (hema) monomers
- Infiltrates the surface microporosities and creates micro-mechanical interlocking after polymerization
Tooth colored restoratives
1. Dental resin
a. Composite resin
b. Sealants
c. PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate)

2. Glass ionomer

3. Ceramic
Resin matrix
- bis-GMA

Additives:
- UDMA
- TEG-DMA
Resin Filler particles
1. Glass
a. Barium glass
b. Borosilicate glass
c. Strontium glasses, etc

2. Silicon dioxide (fumed silica)
- Same as thickening agent used in toothpaste

*The greater the % of filler, the better the physical properties of resin
Resin Coupling agent
Glass and resin matrix are chemically incompatible

Coupling agent chemically interacts with glass and resin matrix “coupling” the filler particle to the resin matrix (adhesion between two components)

Coupling agent is an organosilane (ceramic primer)
Resin Chemical Initiators
Activates the polymerization reaction of the composite resin

Types of reactions:
- Autocure (self-cure)
- Light cure
- Dual cure
Initiators self-cure resins
- Generally use a tertiary amine
- Poor color stability (color changes over time
- Applications- dental cements for laboratory fabricated restorations; large core buildups for crowns
Initiators-light curing resins
1. Photopolymerization
- Visible light
- Blue light wavelength (460-480 nm)

2. Photoinitiators
- Camphoroquinone
- Proprietary (usually 420-460 nm)
Tri cure
Combination of light cure, self-cure and usually heat curing
Types of composite resin
1. Microfill
2. Hybrid
3. Micromatrix or nanofill or microfill hybrid
4. Flowable
5. Packable
Microfill clinical indications
- Class 5
- Esthetic veneering
- Not indicated for Class 3 or posterior because x-ray transparent (radiolucent)
- Not indicated for Class 4- brittle will fracture
Microfill Resin
- Average filler particle size = 0.04 microns
- Filler is prepolymer
- Most polishable
- Most brittle
- Radiolucent (not radiopaque on x-rays)
Hybrid Resin
- Average filler particle size = 1-4 microns
- Filler is combined radiopaque glass and fumed silica (0.04 microns)
- Polishable
- Best physical properties
Hybrid resin clinical indications
- All classes of anterior restorations
- All classes of posterior restorations
- Direct esthetic veneers
Micromatrix or nanofill or microfill hybrid composite
- Average filler particle size = 0.4 microns
- Filler is combined radiopaque glass and fumed silica (0.04 microns)
- Very polishable
- Best physical properties (comparable to hybrid)
Clinical indications Micromatrix or nanofill or microfill composite
- All classes of anterior restorations
- All classes of posterior restorations
- Direct esthetic veneers
Flowable resin
- Least filled
- Filler particle size averages 1-4 microns
- Specialized applications
Clinical indications Flowable resin
- Small occlusal preparations (preventive resin restorations- PRR)
- Repairing composite resin margins
- Where needle tip placement is desired due to limited access of size of preparation
- Can be used for cementing porcelain veneers
Packable composite resin
- Average filler particle size = 5 microns
- Least polishable
- Most opaque (least translucency)
- Limited applications (posterior restorations)
- A hybrid by definition
- Most viscous composite
Clinical indications Packable
- Class 1 or 2 restorations
- May need modified technique for optimal adaptation (use of flowable composite in a proximal box before placement of packable)
Applications of composite resins
- Microfill: Class V, direct veneers
- Hybrid: all classes; direct veneers
- Micromatrix hybrid: all classes; direct veneers
- Flowable: preventive resin restorations (PRR); other uses
- Packable: posterior restorations
Light energy is measured in...

How much energy do you need to cure a composite resin?
Irradiance x Time = Energy Density
