#1
Front (Question)

why are bonding systems used? and when may they be used?

Back (Answer)

decrease micro-leakage decrease sound tissue removal application of orthodontic brackets treat tooth defects and anatomy imperfections application of bridges

#2
Front (Question)

how does dentine bonding differ from enamel bonding?

Back (Answer)

enamel bonding is simpler as it is more inorganic - engage microporosities dentine is tougher to bond to due to it being more organic • also pulpal risk • smear layer removal or incorporation needed wets dentine and widens tubules for resin tags

#3
Front (Question)

what is acid etch? what does it do? p/c?

Back (Answer)

30-40% phosphoric acid applied to enamel and dentine that creates 10-15um microporosities to facilitate bonding cons include enamel and fluoride loss and increased tooth porosity

#4
Front (Question)

what does an all in one etch and bond consist of?

Back (Answer)

etchant hydrophilic primer adhesive

#5
Front (Question)

how does an all in one etch and prime work?

Back (Answer)

etchant corrodes hydroxyapatite crystals and removes smear layer after a 3in1 has been sprayed post use. hydrophilic primer attracts water out of dentinal tubules to allow for deeper composite tag penetration an adhesive that creates a hybrid later on the floor of the cavity.
