3. INTRODUCTION
• Introduction of the acid-etch bonding technique has
led to dramatic changes in the practice of
orthodontics.
• Buonocore ‘ 1955: demonstrated increased
adhesion by acid pretreatment using 85% H3 PO4.
• Newman : began to apply these findings to direct
bonding of orthodontic attachments.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
5. INTRODUCTION
• Retief ‘ 1975 : also described an epoxy resin
system designed to with stand orthodontic
forces
• Smith’1968: introduced Zinc polyacrylate
(Carboxylate) cement, and bracket bonding
and this cement was reported by Migrahi and
Smith in ‘ 1969 .
www.indiandentalacademy.com
6. – Miura etal ‘ 71 : described an acrylic resin
(orthomite) using a modified trialkyl borane
catalyst, that proved to be particularly
successful for bonding plastic brackets and for
enhanced adhesion in the presence of
moisture
– also diacrylate resins , as both sealant ( eg.
Nuvaseal) and adhesives were introduced into
orthodontics.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
7. – The most widely used resin, commonly referred to
as “Bowens resin” or bis GMA(bispenol a glycicly
dimethacrylate), was designed to improve bond
strength and dimethacrylate was designed to
improve bond strength and increased dimensional
stability by cross linking.

8. HISTORY OF ADHESIVE BONDING
SYSTEMS
• In 1955 Michael Buonocore was the first to
describe the acid etch technique for enamel
bonding. He reported that the adhesion of
acrylic resins to enamel could be improved by
conditioning the enamel with a solution of
85% phosphoric acid.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
9. – In 1956 R.L. Bowen did the initial work on bis-
GMA resin systems (Known as Bowen’s formula).
– In 1969 Masuhara introduced an orthodontic
adhesive called direct bonding system for enamel.
It was one of the first dental adhesive
commercially introduced after Buonocore
proposed the concept of acid-etching enamel.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
10. – In 1975, Silverstone demonstrated the variation in
the pattern of acid etching of human dental
enamel examined by scanning electron
microscopy. The demonstrated three patterns.
– In 1979 Maijer R. and Smith D.C. introduced an
alternative to acid etching. They described a new
method of bonding that involves crystal growth on
the enamel surface.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
11. DEVELOPMENT OF AN ADHESIVE BONDING
SYSTEM
– Rafael L.Bowen and W.A. marjenhoff have
reviewed the development of an adhesion system
for bonding dental composites to dentin and
enamel.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
12. • Dr. Michael Buonocore is one of the best
know pioneers in adhesive bonding of resins
to teeth. He found that lightly etching enamel
created a microporous surface into which
direct filling liquid resin could flow.
Polymerise and create a micromechanical
attachment (1955).
www.indiandentalacademy.com
13. – Dr. George Newman, one of Dr. Buonocore’s
contemporaries developed similar methods to
bond orthodontic brackets directly to the enamel
of teeth (Newman. Snyder and Wilson, 1968).
www.indiandentalacademy.com
14. – Composites have some troublesome properties
even with a maximum proportion of inorganic
filler particles.
- They exhibit some polymerization shrinkage.
- A stiffness lower than that of the tooth.
• A coefficient of thermal expansion higher than
that of the tooth crown
www.indiandentalacademy.com
15. – Most situations involving dental adhesion really
involves adhesive joints. The adhesive joint is the
result of interactions of a layer of intermediate
material, i.e., the adhesive, with two surfaces
(adherends), producing two adhesive interfaces.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
16. Terminology
• Adhesion :
is attraction between atoms and
molecules at the surfaces of different
materials when these surfaces are brought
into contact. Forces of adhesion vary in
magnitude and are physical or chemical.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
19. • Physical Forces of Adhesion:
are that, account for most adhesive behavior are
essentially electrostatic, involving the attraction between
positive and negative charges. They are commonly known as
Van der Wall’s forces and are mediated through interaction
between dipoles (Keesom forces), induced dipoles (Debye
forces), and nonpolar dispersion forces related to the
polarizability of molecules (London force).
•
www.indiandentalacademy.com
20. • Chemical forces of Adhesion : are the
strongest forces of molecular attraction and
are represented largely by ionic and covalent
bonds between atoms. Chemical bonds
produced is strong attachment and are usually
more resistant to disruption by water than
physical bonds.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
21. • Cohesion : Cohesion is the molecular
attraction due to the same physical forces
involved in adhesion, except that these forces
exist between like molecules instead of
different molecules and are responsible for
holding a material together
www.indiandentalacademy.com
22. • Adhesive : In the broadest sense, an adhesive
is a material that unites, joins, or attaches to
itself or other substances by adhesion.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
23. • Adherend: The adherend is the surface to
which an adhesive is bonded generally to a
solid surface
www.indiandentalacademy.com
24. • Bonding agent : In dentistry, the bonding
agent is a thin film of adhesive applied over a
surface. A bonding agent is best used as a low
viscosity material that easily and readily fills in
the microscopic irregularities in a surface.
• It joins one substance to the other substance.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
25. • Wetting : Wetting is a manifestation of the
molecular attractive forces between
materials. When the attractive forces are
strong, an adhesive is more likely to fill in the
microscopic irregularities in an adherend than
if the forces were weak, other things beings
equal.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
26. • . Maximal wetting may be described as a
state in which all of the interfacial contacts
possible between adhesive and adherend
surface have been established. A rough or
porous surface can provide significantly
increased bonding areas when properly
wetted. The contact angle is considered an
observable manifestation of wetting.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
27. • .CONTACT ANGLE A zero contact angle
indicates that the molecules of an adhesive
are attracted or pulled toward the surface of
the adherend with equal or greater force than
they are attracted to themselves.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
28. • Viscosity : Viscosity is a property of a fluid
material, which essentially defines its
consistency and can influence the contact
angle, wetting and spreading phenomena.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
29. • Mechanical Retention : Is considered a form
of attachment not dependent on molecular
attraction but rather predicated on the
presence of structural retentive mechanisms.
Structural retention may be of the gross
variety, such as by undercuts, screws and
bolts, or may involve more subtle mechanisms
www.indiandentalacademy.com
30. • Bonding : Bonding is a general term that is
used to describe the joining, uniting, or
attaching of adhesives to an adherend. It is
due to the physical or chemical forces of
adhesion, and mechanical retention in
undercuts, pores capillaries, and crevices.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
31. NATURE OF ENAMEL
• It is the hardest tissue in the human body.
• It is the only clinically visible mineralized
tissue.
• It does not have the regenerative capacity
that bone and dentin possess.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
32. • Enamel consists of microscopic units called
enamel prisms.
• They represent as key hole shaped or fish like
appearance
• They consist of a head and a tail portion
www.indiandentalacademy.com
34. • Each prism contains small units called
hydroxyapetite crystals
• The crystals run parallel to the long axis of the
prism in the head region and gradually
become perpendicular as they approach the
tail.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
36. • The crystals dissolves faster if they are
oriented in a perpendicular relationship to the
tooth surface that will be etched(head region
of the prism)
www.indiandentalacademy.com
38. Composites :
• A Composite material may be defined as a
compound of two or more distinctly different
materials with properties that are superior or
intermediate to those at individual
constituents.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
40. Chemistry of synthetic resins :
Synthetic resins are often called plastics.
Therefore It is these synthetic resins which impart property of a plastic workability
to the composites.
Now, These synthetic resins are composed of very large molecules. The particular
form and morphology will determine whether the plastic is a fiber, hard rigid
resin, or a rubber like product depending on this structure (we will get the final
rigidity of the composite.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
41. polymerization
• process in which there occur a series of
chemical reactions by which a polymer is
formed from the monomer is known as
polymerization.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
42. • curing time would also affect the degree of
polymerization, which is important. Clinically
because the higher the mol. wt. the greater
the stiffness. This stiffness is an important.
Clinical requirement. (according to PROFFIT.)
www.indiandentalacademy.com
43. Polymerization
• .Condensation polymerization.
• .Addition polymerization.
• Condensation polymerization:
Condensation reactions result in
polymerization plus the production of low
molecular weight by products.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
44. Addition polymerization :
• there is no change in composition during
additionpolymerization.These
macromolecules are formed from smaller.
Units, or monomers, without change in
composition, because the monomer and the
polymer have the same empirical formulas.
The structure of the monomer is repeated
many times in the polymer.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
45. STAGES IN ADDITION POLYMERIZATION
• Induction :
To start addition polymerization process, free
radicals must be present. Free radicals can be
generated by activation of monomer
molecules with U.V. Light, visible light, heat
or energy transfer from another compound
that acts a free radical
www.indiandentalacademy.com
46. • This free radical is known as the initiator. Most
commonly employed initiator is benzyl peroxide
which decomposes into 2 free radicals.
• Another term is activator. This activator activates
the initiator of in turn this initiator initiates the
polymerization.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
47. • Thus, the process of polymerization can be
activated in 3 ways.
• - Heat which activates this initiator.
• Chemical – most commonly used is tertiary
amines (self-cure)
• 2 are separated, when mixed then
polymerization begins.
• light activated - here photons (of energy)
activate the initiator.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
48. • Thus systems developed with visible light activated
materials having a wave length of 470mm.
• In this system the initiation are camphorquinone and
dimethylaminoethylmethacrylate (DMAEM)
• In this light intensity (therefore check machine) and
distance for light source are important (therefore
keep gun as possible with out touching)are
important.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
49. Propagation.
• Ideally, chains reactions should continue until all of
the monomer has been converted to a polymer.
However, the polymerization reaction is never
complete.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
50. Termination :
• Can take place in 2 ways.
– Direct couping
– Exchange of hydrogen atoms
www.indiandentalacademy.com
51. Inhibition of polymerization.
• Impurities in the monomer, as stated, inhibit
polymerization this impurity can react with the
activated initiator or a growing chain, causing the
inhibition.
• Eg. Hydroquinone is often added as an inhibitor in
the monomer, to prevent polymerization during
storage.
• More importantly the presence of oxygen also
retards the polymerization reaction because oxygen
reacts with the free radicals.
• Therefore we say that air thinning of bonding resins
should be avoided to optimise curing.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
52. Copolymerization :
• To custom design the physical properties of a polymer ,two or
more chemically different monomers, each with some
desirable property can be combined. The polymer thus
formed is called a copolymer. And its process formation
known as copolymerization , thus the polymer that would be
formed would have properties intermediate to those of the
individual monomers, depending on each components
concentration.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
53. TYPES OF RESINS :
• Acrylic resins :
These imbibe water, this water tends to separate
the chains and to cause general softening and loss of
strength.
- Methyl methacrylate.
-Supplied as a liquid monomer and a powder these
are mixed to form a dough and then cured like in
fabrication of dentures in prosthodontics.
-However, a volume shrinkage of 21% accurs during
the polymerization of the pure methyl methacrylate
monomer. This is too high.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
54. • Polymethyl methacrylate.
It is hard resin with a high tensile strength. It
does not discolor, but has a tendency to
absorb water by imbibition.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
55. • Multifunctional methacrylate systems.
-These include the bis GMA, TEGDMA and
UEDMA which are used in composites and will
be discussed later.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
56. composition
• Consists of following components.
• Resin matrix
• Inorganic filler
• Coupling agent.
• Activator - initiator system.
• Inhibitor
• Other additives
• Those to improve color stability
• Pigments
www.indiandentalacademy.com
58. • The bis GMA have a high mol. Wt., but are
very viscous at room temperature, the use of
diluent monomers is essential to attain high
filler levels and to use pastes of clinically
usable consistencies. Diluents are usually
TEGDMA However, the addition Of TEGDMA
increases polymerization shrinkage, a factor
that limits the amount of TEGDMA that can be
used in a composite. Also TEGDMA increases
crosslinking, which makes in material more
resistant to degradation.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
59. Filler Particles
• Filler particles commonly used silicon particles of colloidal
size ranging from 0.1 to 100 um. Composites are often
classified on the average size of the major filler component.
• In addition to filler volume, level, the size, the size
distribution index of retraction, radiopacity and hardness are
important in determining the properties and clinical
application of resultant composites to incorporate maximum
amount of filler. It is obvious that if a single particle, since is
used, even with close packing, a space will exsists between
particles consider filling a box with marbles.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
60. • But on important Aspect of composites used in
orthodontics it its fluidity. It should be fluid enough.
So as to provide adequate micro mechanical inter
locking the fluidity of the composite depends upon
the fluidity of the resin and amount of filler. As the
filler surface area increase this fluidity decreases. If
there is a large amount of small particle filler then
the surface area of the filler particle increases
therefore we use composites with slightly large filler
particle size.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
61. • In order to ensure acceptable esthetics of a
composite resin, the translucency of the filler must
be similar to that of tooth structure becoming
increasingly important in orthodontics with the
advent of transparent bracket systems.
• The radiopacity it provided by a number of glasses
such as barium, strontium and zirconium(Barium
may leach out in saliva ?)
www.indiandentalacademy.com
62. Coupling agent:
• It is important that the filler particles are bonded to the
resin matrix, these allow the more flexible resin matrix to
transfer stresses to the stiffer filler particles.this bond is
provided by the coupling agent.
• The coupling agent, therefore, improves physical and
mechanical properties and provides hydrolytic stability by
presenting water from penetrating along the filler resin
interface. Organosilanes such as r– methocryloxypropyl
trimethoxy slane.
• (MOPTM ) 1s used most commonly. zirconates may also be
used.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
63. Activator initiator system. :
• This would depend on the type of composite
used,
-Chemically or self cured.
-Light cured.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
64. Self cured.
• Here the initiator is benzyl peroxide.
• While the activator is a teritiaryamine(N-N
dimethyl-P-toulidine)
www.indiandentalacademy.com
65. Light activated:
• Initially the light activated systems used UV light .
• however, exposure to light at the correct wavelength
(approx. 468nm) produces an excited state of the
photo initiator and an interaction with the amine to
form free radicals that initiate addition
polymerization.
• The commonly use photo initiator is comphorginone
(C-0 has an absorption range b/w 400-500 mm that is
in the blue region of the visible light spectrum.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
66. Inhibitors
• To minimize or prevent spontaneous
polymerization of monomers, inhibitors are
added to resin systems. A typical inhibitor is
butylated hydroxytoluene.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
67. Optical modifiers:
• To match the appearance of teeth dental
composites must have visual coloration
(shading) and translucency that can simulate
tooth structure.This is of importance when
using transparent bracket systems. Shading is
achieved by adding different pigments.
These pigments often consist of metal oxides
that are added in minute amount.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
68. • All Optical modifiers affect the light
transmission ability of a composite, darker
shades and opacifiers should be placed in
thinner layers to optimize polymerization. It is
not of much clinical significance in
orthodontics because we use a very thin layer
of composite. However, it must be
remembered this property may affect the
cure of a bonding agent covered with a
composite layer.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
69. Curing :
• The first composites were cured by a chemically activated
polymerization process, called cold curing. Cold curing is
initiated by mixing two pastes.
• This had 2 disadvantages;
• The operator had no control of the working time.
• During the mixing process, it is almost impossible to avoid
incorporating air bubbles into the mix. Oxygen present
hampers the polymerization.
• However, to over come these problems,materials that
required no mixing were developed the light cure
composites, where light is used for the activation of the
initiator system.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
70. • Advantages :
• Insertion and proper placement of bracket can be completed
before starting curing.
• Takes only 40 seconds for curing while self-cure may take
longer.
• Also, these are no so sensitive to oxygen inhibition during
polymerization.
• Drawbacks :
• Tendency to shrink to towards the light source, resulting in a
pull back in areas away for light source.
• Complicating factors associated with a light source.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
71. • Modern light sources are hand-held devices that contain the
light source. The light source is usually a tungsten halogen
bulb. White light generated by the bulb passes through a
fitter that removes the infrared and visible spectrum for
wavelengths greater than 500nm. There can be a significant
difference in the output for various manufactured lights. For
example, if the light intensity manufactured by a factor of
four then 80-40 seconds may be required for a low intensity
light to achieve the same results as that produced by 20 to 60
second exposure with a high intensity light.
• When attempting to polymerize resin through a ceramic
bracket, the exposure time should be 2-3 times longer, to
compensate for the reduction in light intensity.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
74. • Light sources also generate different light
intensities over time, depending on the
quality of age of the lamp presence of
contamination such as composite material
residue on the light tip, and the composite.
Consequently, the light source should be
checked regularly and the operator should
always place the light tip as close as possible
to the restorative material.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
75. • Composites are now available that combine cold
curing and visible light curing components in the
same material. These are available as two pastes,
one contains benzyl peroxide and the other a tertiary
amine. When the Clinician mixes the two pastes, and
exposes them to light, both cold curing and light
curing are achieved with the same material. These
materials are called dual – cure materials.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
76. • Polymerization stress initially is relieved by
composite until it reaches the co-called “gel point”
before this point the resin-based composite is
flexible and accommodates to relieve stress. After
this gel point is reached, the composite changes to
an un-yielding state in which shrinkage stress is
transmitted to the tooth structure. It has been
observed that the longer the pre-gel point time, the
less the stress in the past-gel phase.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
77. • Now a days, high intensity energy out put light
sources such as plasm arc curing lights or laser
curing lights allow a reduction in polymerization rate.
This results in a decrease of the pre-gel point time
and may increase the shrinkage stress. Another
concern is that some of these light sources presents
narrow band of light emission may not correspond to
the absorption band of the photo initiators, resulting
in an incompletely cured resin. The operator should
be cautious other using these alternate sources of
light to polymerize resin-based composites.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
79. CLASSIFICATION OF COMPOSITE
based on the size of the filler particles.
On this basis we have
• Traditional - 8-12 um
• Small particle -1-5 um
• Microfilled -0.04-04um
• Hybrid - 0.6-1.0um
www.indiandentalacademy.com
81. PROPERTIES OF DIRECT BONDING RESINS.
• In light cured resins, the working time is that chosen
by the operator Setting and working times.
• The setting times for chemically activated
composite resin ranges from 3-5 minutes. Now
composites are available with setting times of 60
seconds. This short setting time has been
accomplished by control of the concentration of the
initiator and accelerator., and the materials harden
rapidly once they are exposed to curing light.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
82. • . As mentioned earlier the depth of the cure is
limited and is dependent on several variables such as
material, color, location of light source and the
quality of the light source. The resin paste should not
be dispensed until it is to be used. Exposure to
operatory lights for any appreciable time can initiate
polymerization of the material, because these lights
emit radiation in the 400-500nm range. About 75%
of the polymerization takes place during first 10
minutes. The curing reaction occurs till about 24 hrs,
until when optimum physical properties are not
achieved.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
83. Polymerization shrinkage
• Polymerization shrinkage occurs due to higher
density of the polymer formed.
• Due to this polymerization shrinkage creates
tensile stresses at the interface between the resin
and the tooth. These stresses severely strain the
bond create with a low-viscosity unfilled resin
bonding agents against acid etched enamel at cavity
margins and can lead to marginal leakage and early
failure
www.indiandentalacademy.com
84. • . It has been shown that this stress can
exceed the tensile resistance of the enamel
and result in stress resistance of the enamel
and result in stress cracking and enamel
fractures along the bonded interfaces. This
potential for polymerization shrinkage is even
greater for microfilled resins.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
85. Thermal properties
• Coefficient of thermal expansion which
gives us the amount of expansion per unit
increase in the temperature.
•
• Thermal diffusivity: how fast the heat spreads
within the resin.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
86. WATER SORPTION
• Water sorption is greatly reduced in
composites as compared to acrylic resins due
to the bis-GMA and lower amount of resin.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
87. SOLUBILITY
• Water solubility of composites depends on
the resinous matrix more than the filler. The
acrylic resins had higher solubility than the
current composites. This was because the
amount of residual monomer remaining
www.indiandentalacademy.com
88. MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
• Plaque accumulation
• In conventional composites for example,
which the resinous matrix wears out, the large
particles project above the surface. This
causes a roughening and results in increased
plaque accumulation.
• The smaller the particle size, the lesser
would he the plaque accumulation.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
89. • Colour stability
• This has gained importance due to the advent
of transparent bracket systems. As
mentioned color stability would not be as
good due to incomplete polymerization, due
to water sorption and solubility. Otherwise,
resins have observable change only over a 3
year period, which is more than sufficient for
orthodontic treatment.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
90. PRESENTATIONS
• These are available as
light cured
self cured composites.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
91. MATERIAL SELECTION.
• According to Proffit.
• The requirements of a bonding material are:
Dimensional stability.
Adequate fluidity .
Strength.
Easy to use clinically.
Less plaque accumulation.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
92. GLASS IONOMER CEMENTS
• Glass lonomer cements are adhesive tooth
colored restorative materials which were
orignially used for restorations of eroded
areas. Now, it has been modified to allow its
use in other areas.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
93. • The name of the cement is glass ionomer
because, the powder is glass and the setting
reaction and adhesive bonding to tooth
structure is due to ionic bond.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
95. APPLICATION
• Anterior esthetic restorative materials for
class III cavities
• For eroded areas and class V restorations
• As a luting agent
• As liners and bases

www.indiandentalacademy.com
101. Setting reaction : :
• When the powder & liquid are mixed together, the acid
liquid attacks the glass particles. Thus calcium, aluminium,
sodium and flouride ions are leached into the aqueous
medium, probably in the form of complexes.
• Calcium polysalts form first and later aluminium polysalts
cross link the polynion chains.
• The salts hydrate to form a gel matrix, and the unreacted
glass partcles are covered by a silica gel which arises from
removal of cations from the surface of the particles.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
103. • Adhesion :
• GICs bonds chemically to tooth structure.
The bonding is due to the reaction between
the carboxyl groups of the polyacids and the
calcium in the enamel.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
104. • Anticariogenic properties :
• Glass ionomer releases flourides and
continue to do so over an extended period of
time.
• In addition due to its adhesive effect they
have the potential for reducing infiltration of
oral fluids at the cement – tooth interface,
thereby preventing secondary caries.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
106. Resin modified glass ionomer:
• These are relatively new materials having
various names like compomer, resin –
inomers, RMGI, light cured GIC, dual cure GIC
and tricure GIC.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
107. Classification :
• Depending on which is the predominant
component. These materials may be
classified as (Mc Clean et al).
• Resin - modified glass ionomers cement
(RMGI), e.g. Fuji II LC, Vitremer, Photac fil.
• Poly acid – modified composites (PMC), e.g.
Dyract, Variglass VLC.

www.indiandentalacademy.com
110. Properties :
• Strength :
The compressive strength is slightly lower 105
Mpa when compared to conventional GIC.
The diametral tensile strength is however,
greater 20 Mpa because of the plastic nature
of the resin component.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
111. • Hardness:
The hardness 40 KHN is comparable to that
of conventional GIC.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
112. • Adhesion :
The bonding mechanism to tooth structure is
similar to that of conventional GIC.
Micromechanical retention also plays a role in
the bonding process.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
113. • Anticariogenecity :
These materials have a significant
anticariogenic effect because of the fluoride
release.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
114. • Esthetics : They are less translucent because
of the significant differences in the refractive
index between the resin matrix and powder
particles.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
115. • GIC:- variety of compositions and changes in
the evolution of glass ionomers materials.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
116. 1) Traditional GIC (lines, bases, cements)
Modified by adding comonomers to
polyacrylic acid small powder particle size.
2) Metal modified glass ionomer Miracle
mixtures (with Ag alloy admixed with
cement)

120. Acid – Etching :
• Objectives :
1. To remove all debris and pellicle to
increase adaptation of resin.
2.Dissolution of exposed ends of enamel rods.
3.Create surface irregularities that increase
surface area for increased bond strength.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
121. Mechanism :
1.Acid solution affects prismatic structure by
preferential removal of either prism core /
periphery .
• 2.Adsorption of highly polar phosphate groups oil
the enamel surface, e the result strong polar bonding
to the acrylic may result.
• 3.Removal of old, fully reacted and inert enamel
surface exposing a fresh, reactive surface more
favorable for adhesion.
• Tremendous increase in surface area / wettability.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
122. EFFECTS OF ACID ETCHING ON SURFACE
ENAMEL:
• Type 1 Etching pattern:
Prism core material is preferentially removed,
leaving the prism peripheries relatively intact,
resulting in a “honeycomb” appearance.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
124. • Type 2 Etching Pattern
The peripheral regions of the prisms are
dissolved preferentially, leaving the prism
cores relatively intact resulting in a
“cobblestone” appearance
www.indiandentalacademy.com
126. • Type 3 Etching Pattern :
Surface loss occurs without exposing the
underlying enamel prisms. Gwinnett (1971)
demonstrated that this etching pattern is usually
observed at the cervical aspects of teeth where the
enamel prisms do not extend to the surface.
-Denys and Retief (1982) showed however, that the
type 3 etching pattern is not confined o the cervical
regions but is also found on other aspects of an
etched enamel surface.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
128. • Silverstone (1974) showed that etching
enamel surfaces with phosphoric acid
resulted in ;
• A superficial etched zone
• Under lying qualitative and quantitative
porous zones.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
130. – The depth of the etched zone or the amount of
the surface enamel removed during the etching
procedure depends on ;
– The acid concentration
– The duration of etching
– The chemical composition of the surface enamel.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
131. • The surface area of the enamel will increase upto
2000 times that of its original unetched surface area.
• 4. It creates valleys and depressions and makes the
enamel surface irregular at an average depth of 25
microns.
• 5. Acid etching will expose proteinaceous organic
matrix substance of enamel, which can add to the
restorations retention if it becomes adequately
embedded within the restorative material.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
132. • . It has been verified that enamel treatment with
phosphoric acid will add to the enamel surface a
highly polar phosphate group, which will increase the
adhesive ability of the enamel surface.
• Several acidic agents have been evaluated by various
investigators like lactic acid, citric acid, pyruvic acid
Alpha-keto acarboxylic acid other than the
phosphoric acid.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
133. • Brauer and Termini (1972) reported that
lactic acid, a Monohydroxycarboxyic acid was
an effective adhesion promoter.
• Cadwell and Johannessen (1971) investigated
the possible use of citric acid as an etching
agent. Citric acid solutions are now being
used to condition tooth surfaces
www.indiandentalacademy.com
134. • Pyruvic acid and a Alpha – Ketocarboxyolic
lead to good bond strengths when used for
etching the enamel surface.
• Rate of etching of enamel by pyruvic acid was
significantly lower than that with 50% H3PO4.
• The concern about the stability of pyruvic
acid solutions has limited the use of pyruvic
acid as an enamel etchant.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
136. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADHESION
• There must be good wetting in order to produce a
good bonding.
• the surfaces being joined should to produce and
maintain. Clean surfaces are at a high energy
state and rapidly absorb contaminants such as
the moisture or dust. If the contaminants are not
excluded, the adhesive interface will be weak.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
137. CLINICAL FACTORS AFFECTING ADHESION
• Salivary and/or blood contamination.
• Moisture contamination from handpieces or
air-water syringes.
• Oil contamination from handpieces or air-
water syringe.
• Surface roughness of tooth surface
• Fluoride content of teeth.
• Presence of plaque, calculus, extrinsic stain
or debris
www.indiandentalacademy.com
138. FACTORS AFFECTING ADHESION TO
MINERALIZED TISSUE
• as given by Gwinnet (1990).
• Physical and chemical properties of the
adhesive and the adherent.
• Lack of homogeneity between them.
• Manner of transmission of the applied loads
through the bonded joint.
• Thickness of the interface.
• Form of surface pretreatment or primer
chosen for the substrate
www.indiandentalacademy.com
139. • Furthermore, the factors related to the oral
environmental
• Moisture
• Physical stresses
• Changes in temperature
• Changes in pH
• Dietary components
• Chewing habits.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
140. Chemistry of Adhesive agent
• Chemical adhesion
• Adhesion by coupling agents
• Adhesion by grafting reaction
www.indiandentalacademy.com
141. CRYSTAL GROWTH ON THE ENAMEL
SURFACE
• An alternative to the conventional phosphoric
and etch technique has been developed by R.
Maijer and D.C. Smith.
• This system consists of a polyacrylic acid
treatment, liquid containing a sulfate
component that reacts with the calcium in the
enamel surface to form a dense growth of
small, needle – shaped crystals.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
142. • These crystals grow in so called spherulitic
habit
• The crystal buildup on the enamel serves as an
additional retentive mechanism for the resin
that bonds to the tooth surface. In this
procedure the bond does not rely on
extensive penetration into the enamel. This
brings about “micromechanical interlocking”
at the enamel surface.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
143. MICRO AIR ABRASION
• An alternative to acid etch
• In 1943 Dr. ROBERT BLACK began his studies
using micro abrassive.
• In 1951 an air abrassive instrument was
introduced(Airdent)
www.indiandentalacademy.com
144. • This technique used high speed stream of
purified aluminium oxide (alpha alumina)
particles propelled by air pressure.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
145. BONDING PROCEDURES
• bonding of orthodontic attachment offers
several advantages when compared to
conventional banding.
• It is esthetically superior
• Faster and simple.
• Less discomfort for patient (no. bond seating
and separation
www.indiandentalacademy.com
146. • Arch length not increased by band material
• Allows more precise bracket placement
aberrant tooth shape does not result in
difficult bonding and poor attachment
position )
• Improve gingival condition is possible and
there is better access for cleaning.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
147. • Partially erupted tooth or and fractured tooth can
be controlled.
• Mesiodistal enamel reduction is possible during
• Interproximal areas are accessible for composite
buildups.
• Caries risk under loose bonds is eliminated.
interproximal caries can be detected and treated.
Dental invaginations on incisors can be controlled.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
148. • No band spaces at the end of Rx to close
• No large supply of bands is needed.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
149. • Attachments may be bonded to fixed bridge
work, particularly when the facial surfaces of
the abutment teeth are not in metal.
• More hygienic.
• Improved appearance
• Discomfort to patient is decreased.
• Ease of application for clinician.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
150. Disadvantages :
• Bonded bracket has a weaker attachment than a
cemented band. Thus there is more chance that a
bracket will come off rather than a band become
loosened.
• Some bonding adhesives are not sufficiently
strong.
• Better access for cleaning does not necessarily
guarantee better oral hygiene and improved
gingival condition, especially if excess adhesive
extends beyond the bracket base.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
151. • Protect against interproximal caries of well
contoured cemented bands is absent.
• Bonding is generally not indicates on teeth where
lingual auxiliaries are required or where headgears
are attached.
• Rebonding a loose bracket requires more
preparation than rebanding or loose band.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
152. • Debonding is more time consuming than
debanding therefore removal of adhesive is
more difficult than removal of cement.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
159. • DIACRYLATE RESINS
• Based on acrylic modified epoxy resin
Bowen’s resin or BisGMA may be polymerized
by cross linking in to 3-D network..
• Filled
• Unfilled
www.indiandentalacademy.com
160. • Buzzitha etal 82 found that a highly filled
diacrylate resin with large filler particles gave
the highest values of in vitro bond strength for
metal brackets.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
161. Two recent innovations
• No mix adhesive
Rely a Bond,Right On,System1
• Visible light-polymerized adhesives
Fotofil, Durafil
www.indiandentalacademy.com
162. Key to good success in bonding
• . Develop a technique that ensure good
moisture control .
• Fit the brackets closely to the teeth
• Be sure that the setting of the adhesive is
undisturbed
• Use a strong adhesive.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
163. G.I.C Bonding
• Introduced by Wilson and Kent ‘’71
• IN 1986 ‘ White described a method of
bonding ortho brackets to and surfaces of
teeth with GIC.
• Cook ‘ 90 Compared in vivo bond strength of
GIC with composite and concluded that bond
strength of GIC was not nearly as good as that
of resin
www.indiandentalacademy.com
164. • Fajen etal ’90 evaluated bond strength of 3
GIC against composite in vitro and like look
included that their bond strength was
significantly less.
• Compton etal ’92 :
• Compared bond strengths of GIC, stated
that they must not be contaminated by
moisture during bonding procedures. In
addition they suggested
www.indiandentalacademy.com
165. • Fricker ‘ 94 :
• Worked with fuji similar LC GIC and found
same rate of success as that of composite. He
did mention however that a dentine
conditioner was utilized for10sec, then rinsed
followed by lightly drying the tooth surface
before bonding the brackets with GIC.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
166. • Kusy ‘ 94 :
• Discussed the damage to the teeth when
debonding techniques are used for removing
composite. He advocated the use of GIC for
orthodontic bonding procedures. Because
their cements do not need etching or cause
damage during debonding.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
167. Advantages :
• Saves a significant amount of chair time
• Eliminates need for working in dry field.
• Eliminate need “ etching and priming enamel
surface
• Fluoride release protects teeth against
decalcification
• Repairs are quick and easy.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
168. • Patient operator comfort.
• Reduced risk of caries.
• Have capacity to absorb Fluoride from
fluoridated tooth paste, thus acting as a
rechargeable sow release Fluoride device
(long term Fluoride releasing agent.)
www.indiandentalacademy.com
169. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
• Direct bonding of brackets using shorts
etching times.
• Wolf gang castensen : 1986 JCO.
• They concluded that the shorter etching time
of 15 seconds appears to be sufficient for the
bracket bonding
www.indiandentalacademy.com
170. • Russull Bert Forquhar – 1986 AMJO.
• -Share bond for phosphoric acid was greater
than polacrylic acid group.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
171. • . Dual Cement resin in bonding :
• Smith and Shivapuja.
• a dual cement, they can be used where the
depth of cure is essential.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
172. • Oslenetal compaired the shear bond strength and
surface structure between conventional acid etching
and air – abrasion of human enamel. And concluded
Air abrasion technique for enamel preparation has
lower and clinically un acceptable shear bond
strength and this technique for enamel preparation
results in the irriversible removal of both the
inorganic and organic component of enamel matrix
and said that air abrasion of enamel surface
orthodontic brackets is not advocated for routine
clinical use at this time. AJO – 1997 – vol 112.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
173. • Comparison of GIC a composite AJO 1995
May (485-487)
• Miguel, Almeida and Chapel.
• They studied that composites showed a
statistically significant lover failure rate
compared to the GIC.
www.indiandentalacademy.com
174. • Roberts-Harry (1992) used a pulsed Nd:YAG
laser to etch the enamel surfaces of teeth in
vivo prior to the bonding of orthodontic
brackets with composite resin and concluded
that this laser produced a macroscopic etch
pattern similar to that found with acid etching
