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.
Patient-Related Factors
- 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.
