Filling Materials
- Requirements
- Aesthetic
- Adhesive bond with tooth
- Radiopaque
- Decreased thermal
conductivity & diffusivity
- Protect pulp
- Similar coefficient of thermal
expansion to enamel & dentine
- Long WT & short ST
- Mechanical properties
- Strong (less creep)
- Tough
- Reduced wear
- Hard
- Amalgam
- Setting reaction = y + Hg --> y1 + y2 + y + Hg
- Composition
- Powder = Silver, Tin, Copper, Zinc
- Liquid = Mercury
- Advantages
- Least moisture sensitive
- Most durable
- Disadvantages
- Brittle in thin sections
- Thermal diffusivity > tooth tissue
- Need cavity liner for deep cavity
e.g. setting CaOH
- Creep -> ditching
- Galvanic corrosion
- No tooth adhesion
- Needs mechanical retention added to
cavity prep -> more destructive
- Composite
- Composition
- Resin
- Bis-GMA
- Large vol. -> reduces shrinkage
- Filler
- Higher filler content -> reduced
shrinkage & thermal expansion +
increased mechanical properties
- Radiopaque
- Coupling agent
- Joins filler to polymer
- Silane coupling agent
- Increases mechanical properties
- Types
- Handling characteristics
- Packable
- Flowable
- Reduced filler content
- Lower viscosity
- Use
- Fissure sealant
- Cavity liner
- Non-carious cavity
- Activation
- Chemical
- 2 pastes - requires mixing
- Light
- 1 paste + blue light source
- Depth of cure
- Unlimited WT (command set)
- Dual
- Both light & chemical
- Setting reaction = exothermic
free-radical polymerisation
- Advantages
- Tooth coloured
- Durable
- Adhesion to tooth
with bond
- Disadvantages
- Shrinkage
- Debonding in cavity
- Post-op sensitivity
- Marginal staining & microleakage
-> secondary caries
- Enamel microcracks
- Most moisture sensitive
- GIC
- Setting reaction = Acid-base
- Dissolution, gelation, hardening
- Composition
- Powder = Sodium aluminosilicate glass
- Contains Fluoride
- Liquid = Acrylic/Maleic acid
- Use
- Cervical restorations (poor moisture control)
- Cavity liner
- (luting cement - different material)
- Advantages
- Adhesion to tooth
- Radiopaque
- Similar thermal
properties to dentine
- Slightly moisture sensitive (1st hour)
- Fluoride release
- Disadvantages
- Brittle/reduced flexural strength
- Dissolves in acid
- Least durable
