Incorporation of adhesive liners in amalgam: effect on compressive strength and creep. 1991

USAF Dental Investigation Service, Brooks AFB, Texas.

This study evaluated the effects of two adhesive resin liners (Panavia EX and Amalgambond) on the compressive strength and creep rate of a single composition high-copper amalgam alloy (Tytin). Cylindrical specimens were prepared by dead-loading or hand-condensing amalgam in a Teflon mold which was unlined, lined with Panavia EX, or lined with Amalgambond. Compressive strength specimens were tested at 1 hour, 24 hours, and 7 days after preparation. Creep specimens were tested at 7 days. The adhesive resin liners did not significantly affect the strength of the Tytin specimens prepared by dead-loading (P greater than 0.05). The Panavia EX significantly reduced the strength of the Tytin specimens prepared by hand-condensing (P less than 0.05). The creep rate was not significantly affected by either resin liner.

D001840	Dental Bonding	An adhesion procedure for orthodontic attachments, such as plastic DENTAL CROWNS. This process usually includes the application of an adhesive material (DENTAL CEMENTS) and letting it harden in-place by light or chemical curing.

D003722	Dental Alloys	A mixture of metallic elements or compounds with other metallic or metalloid elements in varying proportions for use in restorative or prosthetic dentistry.	Alloy, Dental,Alloys, Dental,Dental Alloy
D003723	Dental Amalgam	An alloy used in restorative dentistry that contains mercury, silver, tin, copper, and possibly zinc.	Amalgam, Dental,Amalgams, Dental,Dental Amalgams
D003736	Dental Cavity Lining	An inner coating, as of varnish or other protective substance, to cover the dental cavity wall. It is usually a resinous film-forming agent dissolved in a volatile solvent, or a suspension of calcium hydroxide in a solution of a synthetic resin. The lining seals the dentinal tubules and protects the pulp before a restoration is inserted.

D003793	Dental Restoration, Permanent	A restoration designed to remain in service for not less than 20 to 30 years, usually made of gold casting, cohesive gold, or amalgam.

D014783	Viscosity	The resistance that a gaseous or liquid system offers to flow when it is subjected to shear stress. (From McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 6th ed)	Viscosities
D019279	Resin Cements	Dental cements composed either of polymethyl methacrylate or dimethacrylate, produced by mixing an acrylic monomer liquid with acrylic polymers and mineral fillers. The cement is insoluble in water and is thus resistant to fluids in the mouth, but is also irritating to the dental pulp. It is used chiefly as a luting agent for fabricated and temporary restorations. (Jablonski's Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p159)	Resin Cement,Cement, Resin,Cements, Resin
