Building Blocks
Bonding
Material Properties
of Composite
Prep Design&
Restorative Technique
Friday, April 18, 14
Microstructure of Teeth
Differences between enamel and dentin and why that’s important for bonding
Change in tubule size with proximity to pulp
Friday, April 18, 14
Bonding
Which generation has what components (6th generation=self-etch, 2 bottle)
The general strengths and weaknesses of total etch vs. self etch systems
Important considerations in dentin bonding (MMPs, collagen collapse, sensitivity...etc)
What we use here for bonding and the manufacturers instructions
Friday, April 18, 14
Composite Material Info
Microfills (Renamel Microfill, Cosmedent) vs. Nanofills (Filtek Supreme Ultra, 3M) vs. Nanohybrids (GrandioSO, Voco)
Strengths and Weaknesses of Each
Different flowable types and when to use each
What we use here
Friday, April 18, 14
SpecificsMicrofills - weak and brittle, enamel replacement only. Very esthetic, excellent polish and polish retention. Most esthetic composite
Nanofill - similar to nanohybrids in physical characteristics but polish and retain polish better.
Nanohybrids - Strong and durable. Universal composite. Strong enough to be used in posterior, pretty enough to be used in anterior.
Flowables - See review from a week ago
“Bulk Fill” - lower shrinkage flowables (Surefil SDR)
Friday, April 18, 14
Other things to consider
Incremental filling (Why 2mm??)
C-Factor and Flow
Components of Composite and Bonding Agents (Bis-GMA, HEMA, rocks & honey, what makes it light-curable...etc)
Friday, April 18, 14
Prep Designs
Based on location and size of decay
Know where decay tends to be found (Class II/III - interproximally, at and/or below the contact point)
Additional refinements made to amalgam preps to make them more ideal for composite bonding
Friday, April 18, 14
Glass Ionomer
Strengths and weaknesses
Steps in placing (!!!!)
When can you use it and when you should absolutely not use it
Differences between conventional and RMGI
How it bonds
Friday, April 18, 14
Color
Hue, Value and Chroma
Change in chroma from incisal-->gingival
Vita Shade Guide(A,B,C,D)
Visible Light Spectrum: 380-760nm
Where is blue?

Whitening
Different techniques available
Which work faster, which last longer
Potential side effects and complications
What we use here at MUSC (10% carbamide peroxide)
Friday, April 18, 14
Porcelain Repair
Materials used and differences from bonding to enamel and dentin
Technique
How do you deal with exposed metal?
Friday, April 18, 14
Pulp Capping
When to use a CaOH + Vitrebond
When to use only Vitrebond (this may differ from what Endo teaches you)
