The better we can wet the material the____ adhesion we will get
Contact angle should ____ with a good dental adhesive that provides good wettability
Enamel has a ___ surface E
Enamel is ___ ___ ___ to than dentin
It has a higher surface E so a ____ contact angle with adhesives. We get ____ wetting of material and better adhesion
Tooth surface contamination
Clean surface
Surface Wetting
An important concept for adhesion
If a tooth surface is contaminated with saliva or smear layer (debri after you cut on a tooth) it will decrease the wettability of the material
The better we can wet the material the better adhesion we will get
Contact angle should decrease with a good dental adhesive that provides good wettability
Enamel has a high surface E
Enamel is easier to bond to then dentin
It has a higher surface E so a lower contact angle with adhesives. We get better wetting of material and better adhesion
Tooth surface contamination
saliva, smear layer
Clean surface
Increase surface energy
Decrease contact angle
Variations in Tooth Structure
Variations in Tooth Structure
Variations in Tooth Structure
Enamel
***more predictable bonding***
more homogeneous structure
higher inorganic content
higher surface energy
This improves wetability
Dentin
less predictable bonding
higher variability
higher organic content
Enamel CompositionPrimarily inorganic
Hydroxyapatite
Small amt of inorganic
12% water
Dentin Composition
Theres a lot more water in dentin
We need dental adhesives that are hydrophilic!There will be a component in the adhesive that will deal with the water
Solvent like acetone to chase the water or Alcohol
Basic Mechanism of Adhesion (resin-based)Exchange processreplacement of minerals
from hard tissue
by resin monomers
micromechanically interlocked
Primarily mechanical
Retentive interlocking
Velcro is loop and hook system: Similar to bonding to dentinFuzzy: Hooks
This is the Dentin with collagen
Loops
This is like our adhesive
Not a chemical bond!
It is adhesion
Enamel Bonding
Enamel Bonding
Developed by Buonocore-1955
Etchingvarious acids
traditionally phosphoric acid
creates micropores
5 – 50 microns deep
increases surface energy
increases wettability
Traditionally what we use today is phosphoric acid
This creates micropores in the enamel
Enamel Bonding
Enamel BondingWe can use Low-viscosity monomersexamplesBis-GMA
Most popular one
Found in adhesives and composites
UDMA
TEGDMA
HEMA
Predictably high bond strengths
> 20 MPa
We don’t have water to deal with so we can use monomers that are hydrophobic
Even though they are hydrophobic, they wet the surface well
Tubule Composition
Tubule CompositionPeritubular dentin
surrounds tubule
hypermineralized
Intertubular dentin
between tubules
less mineralized
Like the fuzz for Velcro
That’s where adhesion is taking place
Odontoblastic process
Dentinal fluid
Dentin is a different ballgame.
All the research for adhesives is to help us find ways to bind more predictably and strongly to dentin
If restoration fails, it wont be bc enamel bond failed, it will be bc dentin bond failed
Misconception: People think our adhesion occurs bc it flows down into tubules
That is not the case
Adhesion is primarily to the intertubular dentin
Not just plug that we filling up
More like Velcro that we adhering to
Tubule Composition
Tubule Composition
As you progress deeper into tooth number and diameter of tubules changes
As you move down,
Tubules get larger
There is more of them
So there is less intertubular dentin surface to bond to
As you get deeper into the tooth, bonding to dentin is less predictable
Changes in Dentin Structure
Changes in Dentin StructureScleroticnormal aging
As we age, dentin becomes more sclerotic
More Callused and dense
More difficult for adhesins to penetrate the collagen network in the intertubular dentin
abrasion
erosion
Reparative
caries
dental procedures
Hypermineralization
Less receptive to bonding
Something that we do to try to improve the predictability of sclerotic repair to dentin is to increase our etch time
(We talked about phosphoric acid, which is the acid that we treat enamel with to increase the surface. We use acids to prepare the dentin also.)
If you have hypermineralized intertubular dentin, the acid will dissolve the mineral and increase the microspace to penetrate thru
If its sclerotic, you may have to increase the contact time of the acid
Etch= add acid to tooth to prepare it to receive the adhesive
Etchet: Acid
Smear Layer
Produced by instrumentation
Composition
cut dentin debris
bacteria
Reduces dentin permeability
86%
When we prepare a tooth structure, we create a smear layer
Cut dentin debri mixed with bacteria
This is removed when we apply our acid/etchet to the dentin
Typically not on enamel
More so on dentin where there is high amount of organic material (collagen)
When we remove the smear layer, now you have a smear plug
Debris has gone down into tubule
When we add acid, it dissolves the smear plug. You are conditioning it, cleaning it
Now all tubules are open and the intertubular dentin is clean of debri and ready to receive our adhesive
Dentinal Wetness
Dentinal WetnessIncreases
Dentinal depth
Removal of smear layer
Historically, more difficult to bond
As we increase dentin depth, it becomes more difficult to bond to because there is an increase in dentinal wetness.
Dentin Wetness: Etch & Rinse
Dentin Wetness: Etch & RinseAfter conditioning dentindentin must be wet
prevent collagen collapse
Too little waterCollagen matrix will collapse
Intertubular dentin
Fuzzy Velcro
They are hydrated (like spaghetti in a bowl of water)
Take out water and fibrils will collapse
Ineffective resin penetration
Leads to nanoleakage
Our bonding agents are designed to deal with inherent wetness of dentin, but if its too wet its not as predictable
With enamel we use hydrophobic resins. Because of the surface E, we are not worried about enamel being wet. It is inherently dry. When we condition enamel, we will dry the tooth after conditioning with acid. Adhesive is hydrophobic and it wets the surface just fine.
Dentin we can’t use a hydrophobic resin because it is inherently wet. We also can’t dry it like enamel bc then our collegen matrix will collapse. We need to keep it moist as it is inherently so we have that space in the intertubular dentin
We use hydrophilic adhesive that will penetrate into intertubular dentin
If its too wet it become unpredictable
If its too dry it is catastrophic
Hydrophillic adhesives have something in there to deal with the water so if you were unsure it would better to be too wet than too dry.
Laboratory Study
At this time we didn’t know how wet the dentin needed to be
After putting acid on tooth, clinicians would dry the tooth off and then they would end up with sensitivity because adhesive wouldn’t completely penetrate into the tooth and then they would have ____of ____ in the tooth which would cause water to move into tubules and cause pain
Some adhesives have different solvents in them ____ ___ ____
If you over dry tooth the bond strengths____ dramatically
You are not bonded to dry dentin
If it says to dry the dentin, there is probably water as the solvent
Laboratory Study
At this time we didn’t know how wet the dentin needed to be
After putting acid on tooth, clinicians would dry the tooth off and then they would end up with sensitivity because adhesive wouldn’t completely penetrate into the tooth and then they would have microgaps of air in the tooth which would cause water to move into tubules and cause pain
Some adhesives have different solvents in them
Acetone
Alcohol
Water
If you over dry tooth the bond strengths drop dramatically
Bond of composite to tooth is weaker
Exception: SBMP
Has water as solvent and if you over dry it, it would just remoisten itself.
You are not bonded to dry dentin
If it says to dry the dentin, there is probably water as the solvent
