uses of dental cements
pulpal protection
luting- cementation
restorations
surgical dressing
what causes pulpal protection
bacterial effects of caries.
response to chemicals of restorative materials.
thermal conductivity of metal restorations placed near pulp.
dentin remaining over the pulp is too thin to withstand compressive, tensile and shearing stress
cavity varnish
acts as protective barrier between preparation and restoration

natural copal or synthetic resins dissolved in a solvent like alcohol or chloroform
applied in 2-3 layers to allow evaporation
not often used, washes out at margin
liner
low strength base
calcium hydroxide is used
used when dentin no longer covers pulp (direct pulp cap)
stimulates reparative dentin
alkaline pH 9-11
high strength base
provides thermal insulation
support for restorations
cements mixed to a base are mixed to thick putty-like consistency
in preps with 2mm or less dentin base is recommended
buildup
placing a cement buildup reinforces the remaining tooth structure

like high-strength base, provides mechanical support for a restorative material when an excessive amount of tooth structure is removed or missing

used for permanent or temporary luting of fixed prostheses, ortho bands, and pins and posts

must have good wet ability & flow to provide a thin film thickness
tooth-restoration interface
when tooth structure & fixed prostheses are in intimate contact, a microscopic space exists
luting
primary purpose is to fill the interface
mixed to primary consistency must have thin enough viscosity to be able to flow into a film thickness of 0.25 or less
how are dental cements used for restorations

Bis-GMA is most commonly used resin for matrix comp.
UDMA is another type
filler particles
added to organic resins to make them stronger
added to control handling characteristics
reduce shrinkage
made up of inorganic particles like quarts, silica, glass

higher the filler content= stronger material
particle size affects the wear resistance & polish-ability of material
particle size
amount of filler & amount of resin between particles relate to how the material wears

large particles= finish restoration appears dull & rough
small particles= smoother surface
coupling agent
stronger bond between organic fillers & resin matrix
silane reacts with surface of the inorganic filler

good adhesion of the 2= minimal loss of filler particles & reduces wear
polymerization
chemical reaction that occurs when low molecular weight molecules (monomers) join to form long-chain high molecular weight molecules (polymers)

initiators & activator chemicals cause polymerization
what are the 3 types of composite materials used in dentistry? what are the advantages/disadvantages
chemical cure (self cured): 2 paste system, supplied in jars or syringes , limited work time, must be a homogenous mix, air can cause voids

light cure: most common, ample work time, set w/ curing light

dual cure: use both chemical & light cure, 2 paste system or syringe, initial set by curing light, chemical reaction finishes process
how are fillers available?
macrofilled: 1st gen composite resin, large filler particles, greater strength, dull rough surface, absorbs stains

microfilled: smaller particles, not as strong as macro filled materials, glossy finish, doesn't absorb stains easily

hybrid: contains both, easily polished, greater strength than microfilled, high wear resistance

micro hybrids considered newest gen, combo of small & microfine particles
flowable composite
low viscosity
light cured resin, lightly filled
can be delivered directly into the preparation by small needles on syringes
used in conservative type procedures
pits & fissures sealants
low viscosity resins vary in filler size
prevents caries
contains little or no filler
similar to flowable composites
biocompatibility

shrinkage that occurs when composite resin is cured

when cured matrix usually shrinks away from cavity walls

curing small increments decreases shrinkage
thermal conductivity of composite
composite resin is a biologically protective material for the pulp
elastic modulus
stiffness of composite & is determined by the amount of filler

bonding
attaching restorative materials to the tooth by adhesion

prepare surface or tooth for restoration (remove decay, plaque, debris)
tooth is etched or conditioned with 10% to 42% solution of phosphoric acid (provides rough surface to bond to)
what is primary bonding?
secondary bonding?
primary or chemical bond occurs through adhesion when the bonding agent & the composite resin material adhere to each other, it is stronger than a secondary or physical bond
what type of wetting material is used for bonding agents
typically made of low viscosity material

etching increases the ability of the bonding material to wet the tooth surface by creating a high surface energy,
good wetting increases the contact of the material and the tooth
smear layer
made up of debris on tooth surface resulting from the cutting of tooth structure during cavity preparation

must be removed before bonding procedure
dentin etching
phosphoric acid dissolves the smear layer first

portions of the hydroxyapatite crystals from dentin create a porous surface & expose collagen fibrils that are part of the dentin matrix

opens dentinal tubules leaving a rough porous surface
dentin has a lower mineral content, etch only 10 secs
bonding agents

penetrate porosities in the tooth surfae created by etching
what type of bonding agent is required for enamel?
low viscosity liquid
what ape of bonding agent is required for dentin?
primer and bond
what is on the surface of the polymerized bonding resin
a thin coat of uncured resin

resins used for composites & sealants form this layer
when is polymerization inhibited?
when the surface is exposed to oxygen in the air
clinical application of bonding
porcelain: stronger retention if bonded rather than cemented

metal:used to create a stronger bond before cementation of a crown or bridge

amalgam:helps seal out microleakage
how does bonding play a part in ortho?
brackets have repaved bands, cements can't be used so the crackers must be bonded

cements are difficult to cure through brackets, dual cure is used
endodontic posts
placed within the roots of endodontically treated teeth to retain material & build up missing tooth structure

metal or nonmetal
bonded with bonding agents and resin cements
sealant composition

sealant working time
self cured sealants polymerize to final set within 2 mins from start of mixing

light cured sealants allows operator to manipulate
material does require 20 sec application of curing light
dental amalgam
alloy-mixture of two or more metals
alloy in amalgam is mostly silver but contains copper, tin & zinc
when silver based allow is mixed with mercury, the reaction is amalgamation
lathe cut alloy particles
formed by shaving fine particles off an ingot of the alloy with the use of a lathe

particles are shifted to separate them into fine & ultra fine particles
