● Modes of Action– Initiators more light sensitive– Greater translucency allows better light transmission– Delayed gel state formation– Increased elasticity

● Advantages– Quicker, easier– Deeper depth of cure– Decreased polymerization shrinkage STRESS– Fewer air voids between layers– Gives dentist confidence to tackle larger restorations

•Excellent with smaller preparations

•Difficult access-2nd or 3rd molars

Self-Etch Technique

Challenges-Material Weaknesses

Decreased bond strength & marginal gap formation w/ un-etched enamel

Bond incompatibility to self-cure & dual-cure resins

Hydrolytic degradationEnzymatic collagen attack

Self etching Primer

Solution: “Etching prepared enamel w phosphoric acid promoted better marginal integrity with self-etching bonding agents.”

Marginal Gap Prevention

Souza-Junior EJ, Prieto LT, Araújo CT, Paulillo LA. Selective enamel etching: effect on marginal adaptation of self-etch LED-cured bond systems in aged Class I composite restorations. Oper Dent. 2012;37:195-204.

Solution: Use a self-cure or dual cured dentin bonding agent

Suh BI, Feng L, Pashley DH, Tay FR. Factors contributing to the incompatibility between simplified-step adhesives and chemically-cured or dual -cured composites. Part III. Effect of acidic resin monomers. J Adhes Dent 2003;5:267-282.

Bond Incompatibility with Self and Dual Cured Resins

Solution: Use MDP containing bonding agents which become hydrophobic upon polymerization due to high amount of cross-linkage.

“MDP-containing adhesives form nano-layering at the adhesive interface. Stable MDP-Ca salt deposition along with nano-layering may explain the high stability of MDP-based bonding.”

Yoshida Y, Yoshihara K, Nagaoka N, Hayakawa S, Tori Y, Ogawa T, Osaka A, Van Meerbeek B. Self-assembled nano-layering at the adhesive interface. J Dent Res 2012;9:376-381.

Hydrolytic Degradation

MMP-Matrix Metalloproteases

● MMPs are naturally occurring proteases involved in dentin formation and trapped during odontogenesis

● Not bacteria but proteolytic enzymes found within dentin capable of degrading collagen within newly created adhesive hybrid layers

● Low pH causes dentin to release these inherent MMPs which attack exposed collagen fibrils

Osorio R, Yamauti M. Osorio E., et al. Effect of dentin etching on metalloproteinase-mediated collagen degradation. Eur J Oral Sci 2011;119:79-85.

ORAL ENVIRONMENT

2. ACP: Amorphous Calcium Phosphate – very high quantities

• Is pH driven. Healthy resting saliva has a pH 6.8. Demineralization starts at 5.5 pH.

• Saliva contains calcium and phosphate so it can build hydroxyapatite to keep teeth healthy.

• Hydroxyapatite is major component and essential ingredient of normal bone & teeth. It makes up bone mineral & the matrix of teeth. Hydroxyapatite gives bones and teeth their rigidity.

ORAL ENVIRONMENT

2. ACP: Amorphous Calcium Phosphate – very high quantities

• If the mouth is constantly being challenged by acid attacks, saliva cannot keep the balance.

• Result is an environment that favors demineralization
