Dental materials
Pulpal protection (liners, bases, varnishes) Luting cementation (crowns, inlays, onlays veneers) Restorations (temporary and permanent) Surgical dressing (e.g. periodontal surgery)
Pulpal protection
Dental caries Chemicals in restorative material Cutting of tooth structure Thermal conductivity of metal restorations
Cavity varnishes Liners bases
Pulpal protection
Cavity varnish: a thin layer placed on the floor and wall of the cavity to seal dentinal tubules and minimize microleakage.
Composition:
Natural resin (copal) Synthetic resin dissolved in solvent such as alcohol or chloroform.
Cavity varnish
Application method:
The varnish is applied in a thin layer The solvent evaporates within 5 15 seconds A second layer is applied The resin component protects pulp by:
2 bottles:
Varnish: 90% solvent, 10% resin (copal) Solvent to dilute varnish if solvent evaporates The lid should be kept tightly closed
Varnishes have been largely replaced by bonding agents since varnishes wash out quickly Disrupted by resin monomers, not used under therapeutic base
8
Base: Calcium phosphate, calcium tungstate, Zinc oxide, Glycol salicylate Catalyst: Calcium hydroxide, zinc oxide, zinc stearate in ethylene toluene sulfonamide
Light cured cement: UDMA + Ca hydroxide + barium sulfate filler and low viscosity monomer
9
Has an alkaline Ph 9-11(stimulates dentine formation) Setting time: 2-7 minutes Weak compressive strength Thermal insulator High solubility
10
Pulpal protection in deep cavities Weak Sedative effect Little thermal insulation since its used in thin layers
Properties:
11
Function:
Mixing: mixed into a thick putty like consistency (secondary consistency) that can be rolled into a ball or rope. Placed in a 0.5-0.75 mm thick layer or greater
12
Materials used:
13
Luting cements
Desirable features:
Good wettability Good flow Thin film thickness: 25 m or less to fill the space between tooth structure and restoration. It will prevent proper seating of restoration Excess cement may wash out and cause irritation and caries
Mixed to primary consistency: less viscous, flows easily, can be drawn to 1 inch string with spatula lifted from center of mass
14
15
16
Restorations
The exception is GIC, used for class V cavities and primary teeth.
17
Restorations
Cements are mixed to secondary consistency Uses: If time is insufficient to place permanent restoration In symptomatic teeth, a sedative provisional restoration can be placed Between visits in cases of Endodontic treatment, crowns, inlays
18
19
Surgical dressing
Protection and support of surgery site Help to control bleeding Provide comfort for patient
Material used: non eugenol dressing, mixed to soft putty like consistency. A good dressing should be:
Smooth and not too bulky Covers surgery site with minimal overextension Interlocks interdentally to provide retention
20
21
Depends on P:L. Brittle, C.S, T.S. Resin cements > polycarboxylate cements
Influenced by powder ratio. Cements have solubility microleakage & pulpal irritation, except resin Affects luting agents. To get secondary consistency, powder pH of cement. Cements containing eugenol are sedative. Fluoride caries Chemical (GIC). Micromechanical with luting agents penetrating irregularities.
Esthetics
Shades for luting agents for veneers & anterior crowns. Opaque cement to mask dentine discoloration. Try in paste available
22
Manipulation
Mixing Loading the restoration Removal of excess cement Cleanup, disinfection and sterilization Consideration during instrumentation
23
Mixing
Follow manufacturer instruction Consider working time of the cement according to clinical application. Example:
Long span bridge VS. one crown Areas of difficult isolation Patient consideration Mixing skills of dentist or dental assistance
Removal of excess
Some cements should be removed when rubbery others need to be removed when tacky
25
Uses:
Low/high strength base Temporary and Intermediate restoration Temporary cementation Root canal sealers Periodontal dressings New reinforced cements are used for permanent cementation (Type II)
26
Composition:
Type I: Zinc oxide, eugenol, rosin to reduce brittleness, zinc acetate as accelerator Type II:
20% Acrylic resin is added as reinforcing agent Ethoxybenzoic acid (EBA)-alumina-reinforced cement contains 30% alumina in powder. Liquid is eugenol and EBA to form stronger crystalline matrix
Newer cements are eugenol free Dispensed as powder & liquid, and two paste system
27
Properties:
Sedative effect on pulp and antibacterial Alkaline pH (=7), biocompatible Can be irritant if in direct contact with pulp Eugenol interferes with setting of resin Moderate strength Retention is mechanical Water and temperature increase accelerate setting
28
Manipulation
Type I: two paste system, mixed until uniform color Solvent: oil of orange Type II: powder and liquid, powder in immediately incorporated into liquid ad mixed (30 seconds) yielding putty consistency, additional 30 sec. mixing provide fluid consistency.

31
Zinc phosphate
Powder: zinc oxide Liquid: phosphoric acid and water buffered by Al + Zn to slow setting
Setting reaction: exothermic, controlled by incremental incorporation of powder into liquid. Cement is porous.
32
Properties
Initial acidity with pH of 4.2, becomes neutral after 48 hours. Retentive by mechanical retention sandblasting of crowns or inlays Similar strength to GIC, high CS, low tensile strength. Low solubility once set
Manipulation
Powder is dispensed and divided into 4-6 portions Liquid is dispensed according to manufacturer Mixing is gradual at 15 seconds intervals for 60-120seconds Large strokes over a large area
34
Zinc polycarboxylate
Uses:
Composition:
35
Properties:
Lower compressive strength than other cements Mild acidity Higher viscosity when mixed but reasonable flow Liquid should not be dispensed before needed, to avoid water evaporation and viscosity Retention is chemical and mechanical To increase working time use a cold slab
Manipulation: powder liquid systems, 90% of powder added first then the rest is mixed with liquid to adjust consistency
36
low/high strength bases (in deep cavities use calcium hydroxide instead) Luting agents Core build up Restorative material (e.g. class V)
Manipulation?
37
Resin modified-GIC
Uses: Permanent cementation of crowns and bridges Core build up Liners Bonding of orthodontic brackets Properties: Fluoride release Low solubility once set Early low pH then increases High fracture toughness but lower than resin cements Problem of water sorption (contraindicated for all-ceramic restorations, may cause cracking due to expansion) Manipulation: capsules, powder liquid systems?
38
Resin-based cements
Bond ceramic indirect restorations Bond conventional crowns and bridges Bonding of orthodontic bands Temporary cementation Chemical cure Light cure Dual cure: most versatile
