    Study Notes

    Adhesive Techniques: Advantages

    • Adhesive techniques have multiple benefits over traditional methods, including:
      • Tooth Structure Conservation: Eliminating extensive preparations and tooth removal.
      • Long-Term Restoration Retention: Stronger bonds improve longevity and patient acceptance.
      • Stress Distribution: Adhesive bonds better transmit and distribute stress for improved resistance.
      • Tooth Structure Reinforcement: Potential for bonding to contribute to load-carrying capacity (controversial).
      • Reduced Microleakage: Minimizing post-operative sensitivity, recurrent caries, pulp reactions, discoloration, and fracture.
      • Expanded Esthetic Dentistry: Greater possibilities for aesthetically pleasing restorations.

    Indications for Adhesive Dentistry

    • Conservative Restorations: Class I, II, III, IV, V, VI carious or traumatic defects.
    • Aesthetic Modifications: Reshaping and color alteration of anterior teeth.
    • Fractured Tooth Reattachment: Bonding fractured tooth segments.
    • Indirect Restorations: Bonding all types of indirect restorations.
    • Crown Foundations: Providing support for crowns.
    • Pit and Fissure Sealing: Preventing decay in susceptible areas.
    • Orthodontic Bracket Bonding: Securing orthodontic appliances.
    • Periodontal Splinting: Stabilizing teeth.
    • Restoration Repair: Rebuilding damaged restorations
    • Dentin Desensitization: Reducing tooth sensitivity.

    Fundamental Principle of Adhesion

    • Exchange Process: Inorganic tooth material is replaced with synthetic resin.
      • Phase 1: Removal of calcium and phosphate to expose microporosities.
      • Phase 2 (Hybridization): Resin infiltration and polymerization within microporosities, creating micromechanical interlocking.

    Challenges of Bonding to Tooth Substrate

    • Enamel Composition: High inorganic content (96%) with low organic and water content.
    • Dentin Composition: 75% inorganic, 25% organic and water.

    Bonding Techniques and Considerations

    • Multiple Coats: Ensuring complete substrate coverage and resin penetration.
    • Primer Application Time: 15 seconds minimum for monomer diffusion and solvent evaporation.
    • Primer Application Technique: Rubbing into the dentin surface with a brush or sponge.
    • Surface Appearance: Glossy, shiny, and hydrated enamel and dentin after priming.
    • Priming Acid-Etched Enamel: Not always necessary for bonding to dried enamel.
    • Wet Bonding: Primers should always be applied to acid-etched enamel in wet bonding techniques.
    • Air Drying: Short and gentle air drying after primer application.

    Adhesive Resin (C-Resin)

    • Composition: Hydrophobic monomers (Bis-GMA, UDMA), hydrophilic monomers (TEGDMA, HEMA).
    • Curing: Chemical or photo curing.
    • Goal: Sealing micropores and creating a resilient bond between resin and tooth tissue.

    Resin/Enamel Interface

    • Mechanism: Resin is absorbed by capillary action in etched enamel, enclosing hydroxyapatite crystals.
    • Resin Tag Formation: Resin polymerization creates macrotags and microtags, with microtags contributing significantly to retention.

    Dentin Hybridization and Resin Tag Formation

    • Hybrid Layer: Resin impregnated into intertubular dentin.
    • Resin Tags: Resin extending into dentinal tubules.
    • Hybridization: Micromechanical interlocking between resin and demineralized dentin.

    Ideal Dentin Bonding Agent Requirements

    • Hydrophilic: Bonding to wet dentin.
    • Hydrophobic: Copolymerization with resin.
    • Low Viscosity: Enhanced diffusion.
    • Biocompatible: Non-toxic to the pulp.
    • Minimal Film Thickness: Improved wettability.
    • High Bond Strength: Immediate bonding to enamel and dentin.
    • Minimized Microleakage: Reducing leakage to the nano-level.
    • Ease of Application: User-friendly application.
    • Good Shelf life: Stable over time.

    Concerns About Demineralization

    • Aggressive dentin etching can lead to demineralization beyond the reach of resin infiltration, resulting in the "hybridoid layer."
    • The hybridoid layer can create pathways for nanoleakage and collagen hydrolysis.

    Etch and Rinse Approach

    • Steps:
      • Acid etching of enamel and dentin to create microporosities.
      • Thorough rinsing to remove the acid.
      • Primer application for bonding to dentin.
      • Bonding agent application.
      • Composite resin placement.

    Self-Etch Approach (Smear Layer Dissolving)

    • Steps:
      • 2-step approach: Etching and priming in separate steps.
      • 1-step approach: Self-etching primer combined with the bonding agent.
    • Mechanism: Acidic monomers in the primer dissolve the smear layer and etch the dentin, creating bonding surfaces.
    • Enamel Etching: Minimal etching of enamel.

    Factors Affecting Bond Strength

    • Immediate Bond Strength: Approximately 17 MPa to resist contraction stresses during polymerization.
    • Ratio of Bonded to Free Resin: Higher ratio reduces contraction stress.
    • Operator Factors: Skill, experience, and qualification.

    Leakage and Adhesive Procedures

    • Leakage in composite restorations may result from improperly executed adhesive techniques, including:
      • Material Selection Errors: Incorrect choice of adhesive materials.
      • Technique Errors: Non-compliance with manufacturer instructions.

    Isolation and Moisture Control

    • Importance: Maintaining a dry, saliva-free environment for bonding.
    • Salivary Contamination: Proteins in saliva can block resin penetration.
    • Rubber Dam: Most effective isolation technique.

    Dentin and Pulp Protection

    • Non-Adhesive Liners and Bases: Not recommended beneath adhesive restorations.
    • Glass-Ionomer Cements: Can be used (sandwich technique), but simple adhesives are usually effective.
    • Calcium Hydroxide: Used for deep cavities with limited remaining dentin (less than 0.5mm). Requires sealing with a less soluble material (like resin-modified glass ionomer).

    Temporization

    • Eugenol-Containing Temporaries: Avoid as they interfere with resin polymerization.

    Post-Operative and Post-Restorative Care

    • Oral Hygiene: High standards of oral hygiene are essential to prevent plaque accumulation and bond degradation.
    • Caries Risk: Significant impact on restoration durability.
    • Socio-economic Factors: Influence on oral health and care.

    Ethanol Wet Bonding

    • Mechanism: Ethanol chemically dehydrates dentin to reduce collagen hydrophilicity, facilitating hydrophobic monomer infiltration.
    • Advantages: Increased monomer penetration, reduced water sorption/solubility, and resin plasticization.
    • Potential Benefits: Reduced collagen degradation and improved bond durability.
    • Challenges: Solvent dilution or concentration in the clinical setting.

    Additional Tips for Successful Bonding

    • Rubber Dam Isolation: Minimize water and saliva contamination.
    • Careful Handling: Adhere to recommended handling procedures.
    • Extended Application Time: Allow sufficient time for resin penetration and solvent evaporation.
    • Warm Air Drying: Accelerate solvent evaporation.
