Study Notes

Dangerous Materials

Adhesion: Essential for dental treatments such as crowns, bridges, veneers, and braces.

Adhesion Principles

Preparation: Involves removing plaque and debris, followed by etching with phosphoric acid (10-38%).
Etching: Increases the surface area for better resin contact, enhancing adhesion.
Enamel: Composed of hydroxyapatite crystals (95% inorganic), water (0.36%), and organic matrix (3-5%).
Dentin: The main component of the tooth structure, made of mineralized tissue.

Adhesion Force

Definition: The force required to separate two bonded surfaces, which can be measured.
Formula: 1 MPa = 10.2 kg/cm²

Enamel Etching

Duration: Takes about 20 to 30 seconds, but may vary depending on the procedure.

Dentin Etching

Procedure: Involves removing debris from the tooth surface using rotary instruments.

Adhesion Agents

Types: Resin composites for enamel, dentin, total etching, oxygen inhibition, and self-etching.
Classification: Categorised into total etching and self-etching systems.
Tools: Specific etching tools are used in general, but self-etching systems can be applied directly.
Note: Some systems only require enamel etching for materials like enamel.

Materials for Aesthetic Direct Placement

Materials: Direct Placement Resin, Composite Resin, Glass Ionomer Cement, Hybrid Ionomer, and Compomer.

Composite Resins

Color: Matched to the color of both anterior and posterior teeth.
Formation: Composed of organic resin matrix (polymer) and inorganic fillers (silica) joined by a silane coupler.
Adjustments: Accelerators and pigments can be added to achieve the desired tooth color.

Composite Resin Components

Resin Matrix: Bis-GMA is the most common resin used.
Resin Liquids: Oligomeric formations with 2 or more monomers.
Fillers: Mostly inorganic (silica) to increase strength and reduce shrinkage during polymerization.
Filler Content: Higher filler content leads to stronger restorations.

Agente Acoplador

Function: Silane is a coupling agent that improves adhesion between organic fillers and the resin matrix by reacting with the surface of the inorganic filler and the organic matrix to create a stronger bond.

Pigmentos

Purpose: Matching the natural tooth color.
Examples: Chromium, saturation.
Color Charts: A1, B1, ... An, Bn

Polimerización

Definition: Chemical reaction where low molecular weight resin molecules (monomers) join to form polymers.
Methods: Composite resins can be polymerized through chemical means, light, or a combination of both.

Curación Química

Systems: Two-step systems with a base (containing the resin) and an initiator, and a separate catalyst.

Fotocuración

Method: The most common method, as it doesn't require mixing.
Light: Blue light with a wavelength close to 470 nm activates the initiator, triggering polymerization.
Factors: Light access and resin layer thickness affect curing capacity.

Curación Doble

Systems: Two step systems with initiators and activators, activated by both light and chemically.
Advantage: Continued chemical reaction where light does not reach.

Cement de Conomero de Vidrio (CIV)

Uses: Luting agents, restorative materials, base and liner, cavity lining, fissure sealing, non-traumatic restorative treatments.

CIV: Precautions

Insufficient light emission.
Poor setting/ generation of heat.
Eye protection is essential.

CIV: Physical Properties

Biocompatibility: Compatible with pulp.
Adhesion: Adheres to the dental structure.
Fluoride Release: Releases fluoride into the surrounding tooth structure.
Solubility: Sensitive to water absorption and release.
Thermal Expansion: Affected by changes in temperature.
Thermal Protection: Provides protection against thermal changes.
Compressive Strength: High compressive strength.
Tensile Strength: Lower tensile strength compared to compressive strength.
Resistance to Wear: Wears faster than resin.
Radiopacity: More radiopaque than resin.
Color: More opaque than resins.

Types of Hybrid Ionomers

Improvements in glass ionomer (GI) properties: enhanced wear resistance and aesthetics.

Composites

Contain modified/polyacid resins.
Setting reactions occur in two phases.
Form a network structure similar to light-activated composites.

Glass Ionomer (IV)

Result of mixing aqueous liquids (carboxylic acid) with powdered polyalkenoates.
Basic Composition:
- Glass Powder: Silica, Alumina, and Fluorocalcium
- Acidic Polymer (Liquid): Polyacrylic acids, tartaric and tannic acids.

Setting/Fraguado Reaction (IV)

Acid-base reaction involving mixing a powder and a liquid.
Matrix Formation: Through a union of the two components.
Reaction Stages: Three distinct stages.
Final Result: Involves ion displacement.

Reaction of Hardness:

Hardness: Related to the exchange of C and carboxylic group.
Reaction: Acid-Base.

Water:

Influence: Plays a crucial role in ionic exchange, occurring in aqueous media.
Deficiency or Excess: Causes structural changes (drying/erosion).
Plasticizer: Acts as a plasticizer, reducing rigidity.

Cleaning:

Treatments: Topical application of fluoride, bleaching, and decontamination.
