Study Notes
Introduction
- Clinical success of resin-bonded ceramic restorations depends on ceramic material properties, tooth prep design, impression technique, fabrication process, definitive insertion protocol, and bonding protocol.
Definitions
- Adhesion is the attraction between unlike molecules
- Cohesion is the attraction between like molecules
- An adhesive is a material that causes adhesion or bonding
- An adherend is the material to which the adhesive is applied
Importance of Bonding
- Bonding systems provide resistance to separation of adherend substrate
- Bonding systems distribute stress
- Bonding systems seal dentin and enamel
Bonding Principles in Dental Ceramics
- Strong and durable bond between ceramic materials and the tooth or prosthetic substrate is crucial
- Bonding is crucial for longevity, aesthetic quality, and function
Bonding to Silica-Based Ceramics
- HF Acid Etching: hydrofluoric acid (HF) selectively dissolves the glass phase to expose silicon dioxide (SiO2) and create microretentive surfaces
- Surface Topography: acid etching increases roughness, facilitating micromechanical interlocking with resin cements
Silane Coupling Agent
- A silane coupling agent is applied after etching to form chemical bonds between ceramic surface and resin cements.
- Silane enhances adhesion as it can create a covalent bond with both the ceramic and the resin
Silane Coupling Agent - Chemical Reaction
- Surface Activation (Etching) of the Glass Ceramic: Etching with HF creates microporosities and exposes silica (SiO2)
- Application of Silane Coupling Agent: Silane is a bifunctional molecule with Silicon (Si) and Methacrylate groups, allowing it to bond to the ceramic and resin
- Hydrolysis of Silane Molecule: Silane requires moisture to hydrolyze and activate
- Condensation Reaction with Ceramic Surface: Silane reacts with the ceramic to form a durable chemical bond
- Polymerization with Resin Cement: Silane forms a bond with the resin
Resin Cement Selection and Properties
- Light-Cure Resin Cements: provide extended working time and ease of removal
- Dual-Cure Resin Cements: combine light-activated and chemical-activated systems, achieving high degrees of polymerization while providing a longer working time
Bonding Protocols
- Total-etch systems provide stronger bonds and reduce microleakage
Microstructure and Mechanical Properties
- The microstructure of feldspathic ceramics influences their mechanical performance, particularly the balance between the glass and crystalline phases.
- Higher glass content generally enhances translucency but can compromise strength.
Acid Etching Chemistry
- HF etching involves the reaction of HF with silica to form soluble silicates
- Topographic Changes: Dissolution of the glass phase results in increased surface roughness
Bonding to Leucite-Reinforced Glass Ceramics
- Composition and Properties: Leucite-reinforced feldspathic ceramics contain up to 45% leucite, which enhances the material's mechanical properties.
- Flexural Strength: Leucite-reinforced exhibits medium flexural strength values of up to 140 MPa, exceeding traditional feldspathic ceramics.
- Crack Propagation Resistance: Leucite acts as a crack reflector, redirecting and mitigating crack propagation, enhancing the durability of the ceramic.
Bonding to Lithium Silicate Ceramics
- Resin Cement Performance: Various resin cements produce long-term durable bonds
- Mechanical Properties: Leucite and lithium disilicate enhance the ceramic's ability to withstand stress and resist fracture.
- HF Acid Etching Chemistry: HF selectively dissolves glass phase and increases surface area and roughness
- Silane Chemistry: Silane coupling agents form siloxane bonds with etched ceramic surface
Bonding to Polymer-Infiltrated Ceramic Network (PICN) Materials
- PICN is a dual-network structure with a ceramic skeleton and infiltrated resin phase
- PICN materials combine ceramics and polymers, featuring an interpenetrating network made of aluminum oxide-enriched leucite and urethane dimethacrylate and triethylene glycol dimethacrylate
Bonding to Metal-Oxide Ceramics
- Mechanical Properties: 3Y-TZP exhibits the highest fracture toughness and flexural strength among zirconia generations
- Transformation Toughening: The tetragonal-to-monoclinic phase transformation enhances fracture toughness
Bonding Procedures
- Surface Pretreatment Methods: effective techniques include APA, tribochemical silica coating, low-fusion porcelain application, and laser irradiation
- MDP Primers: application of 10-methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate (MDP) or phosphate ester monomer-based primers is essential for durable resin bonds
- Preferred Protocol:
- APC Bonding Concept: APA with alumina or silica-coated particles, followed by priming with an MDP-based primer, followed by application of dual or self-cure composite resin cement
Considerations for Recent Zirconia Generations
- High-Translucent Zirconia: 4Y-TZP and 5Y-TZP zirconia generations enhance esthetics by increasing yttria content
- Bonding Protocols: bonding methods for 3Y-TZP also apply, but surface pretreatment is critical to avoid compromising mechanical properties
- Studies indicate that surface treatments do not adversely affect the flexural strength of newer zirconia generations
Cleaning and Contamination Prevention
- Importance of Isolation: proper isolation during resin bonding is crucial to prevent contamination, which can compromise bond strength
- Cleaning Methods:
- Recommended Solutions: Alcohol solutions and phosphoric acid
- Effective Decontamination: APA with alumina particles
- Commercial Cleaning agents: Ivoclean, Katana Cleaner, and ZirClean effectively remove contaminants and proteins
