Study Notes
Adhesion of Resins to Dentin
- Classification of contemporary adhesive systems includes three-step total etch (etch and rinse).
- The three components: Etchant (E), Primer (P), and Bonding agent (B).
- Three-step system removes the smear layer, exposing intertubular and peritubular collagen.
- Opening dentinal tubules enhances bonding by decreasing surface free energy up to 7.5 µm.
- Examples of three-step systems include Scotch Bond MultiPurpose, All Bond 2, and Panavia 21.
Two-Step Etch-and-Rinse System
- Simplifies bonding procedures compared to total etch systems.
- Examples include One-Step Plus, Prime & Bond NT, Adper Single Bond Plus, and OptiBond SOLO Plus.
Drawbacks of Total Etch System
- Excessive dryness can occur if dentin is air-dried, leading to collagen fiber collapse.
- Excessive wetness dilutes the primer, reducing its effectiveness.
Moist Bonding
- Removing excess water post-etching can be performed with damp cotton, high-volume suction, disposable brushes, or tissue without affecting bond strengths.
Self-Etching Adhesives
- Classified as non-rinsing conditioners or self-priming etchants.
- Types include two-step and one-step self-etching adhesives.
Advantages of Self-Etching Adhesives
- Simplified techniques reduce technique sensitivity.
- Elimination of rinsing prevents over-wetting or drying issues.
- Less postoperative sensitivity compared to etch-and-rinse adhesives due to partial smear layer removal.
One-Step Self-Etch Systems
- Incorporate all necessary components in a single bottle.
- May allow transudation of dentinal fluid; solutions include adding a hydrophobic bonding layer or applying a flowable composite liner.
Categories of Self-Etching Primers (SEPs)
- Classified by pH into mild, moderate, and aggressive:
- Mild and ultramild SEPs offer better dentin adhesion but weaker enamel bonds.
- Aggressive SEPs excel in bonding to enamel without selective etching.
Universal Adhesives
- Bond to multiple substrates, including indirect ceramics and resin restorations.
- Typically mild or ultra-mild one-step self-etching adhesives, requiring selective enamel etching.
Case-Based Discussion
- Example of a 40-year-old woman with Class I tooth preparation for composite restoration in tooth #47.
- Considerations for adhesive system selection for Class II preparation in tooth #16.
- Factors influencing adhesive choices for restoring tooth #11, with justifications required.
