    Dentin Bonding Challenge

    The challenge of bonding to dentin arises from its organic composition, tubular nature, and the presence of a smear layer. The tubules allow dentinal fluid to flow, affecting adhesion, while the smear layer hinders bonding. Acid etching is required to remove the smear layer for proper adhesion.

    Smear Layer

    Study Notes

    Dental Materials (MCQs) - Test 1

    • Stress vs. Strain: Stress is force over area, while strain is deformation over length.
    • Bicuspid Biting Force: Average biting force for bicuspids is 222-445 to 400-890 N. (133-334 to 250-450 N)
    • Amalgam Formula: G.V. Black introduced an acceptable amalgam formula in 1895.
    • Material Ability: The ability of a material to withstand permanent compression without rupture is known as ductility.
    • Dentin Hardness: Knoop hardness number for dentin is 100.
    • Adhesion Factors: Factors affecting adhesion include interpenetration, wettability, macro-mechanical interlocking but not viscosity.
    • Gypsum Accelerator: Sodium sulfate is a gypsum accelerator.
    • Light Beam Interactions: When a beam of light strikes an object, transmission, scattering, dispersion, and absorption can occur.

    Dental Materials - Additional Concepts

    • Maximum Stress: The maximum stress before permanent deformation is known as the elastic limit.
    • Liquid Viscosity: A liquid that becomes less viscous with repeated pressure application is called thixotropic.
    • Mechanical Properties: Mechanical properties related to plasticity include ductility, and percent elongation, but not elastic modulus.
    • Synthetic Polymers: Bakelite, Perspex, and Nylon are examples of synthetic polymers. (Polystyrene is not listed as an example)
    • Color Saturation: The strength of color or the degree of saturation of color is known as chroma.
    • Thermal Disturbance: A measure of how quickly temperature disturbance travels through a body is called thermal diffusivity.
    • Stress Deformation: Slow stress deformation under a constant load is called creep.
    • First ADA Acceptance Seal: The first ADA seal of acceptance was used in 1931.
    • Elastic Limit Definition: The elastic limit is the same as the yield point of a material.
    • Shear Forces: Shear is a result of parallel but non-linear forces.

    Dental Materials - Additional Concepts (Part B)

    • Ideal Restorative Material Properties: Ideal restorative materials are biocompatible, bond permanently to the tooth structure, match natural tooth appearance, and initiate repair processes. These are important criteria for ideal restorative treatment choices.
    • Electrochemical Corrosion: Galvanic corrosion occurs with combinations of metals, while concentration cell corrosion has differing electrolyte concentrations. Stress corrosion occurs due to fatigue from repeated loading.
    • Gypsum Setting Theories: Setting of gypsum materials is explained by colloidal theory, hydration theory, and dissolution-precipitation theory.
    • Adhesive Bonding Factors: Factors influencing good adhesive bonding are clean surfaces, substance penetration, chemical reactions (surface contact), shrinkage reduction and prevention and thermal stress stability.
    • Dentin Challenges with Adhesion: Dentin presents challenges in adhesive bonding due to its living tissue nature, tubular structure, presence of the smear layer, and dentinal fluid.
    • Dental Material Classification: Dental materials are broadly classified as preventative, restorative, auxiliary and temporary.
