Adhesion to teeth.

P O Glantz

    International Dental Journal
    |December 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    The organic components of human enamel and dentine dictate their adhesive properties. Surface treatments can alter tooth adhesion, but saliva contamination must be avoided for effective bonding.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomaterials Science
    • Dental Surface Chemistry
    • Adhesion Science

    Background:

    • Human enamel and dentine possess inherent adhesive properties primarily due to their minor organic constituents.
    • Undamaged teeth exhibit adhesive characteristics comparable to other biological tissues.
    • Low-energy organic films on tooth surfaces impede strong adhesive interactions with bacteria, food, and restorative materials.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the role of organic components in the adhesive properties of human enamel and dentine.
    • To explore how surface treatments affect tooth surface adhesiveness.
    • To understand the impact of physiological conditions, specifically salivary films, on achieving clinical adhesion.

    Main Methods:

    • Application of standard surface chemical techniques to analyze enamel and dentine.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Evaluation of adhesive properties under physiological conditions.
  • Assessment of the effects of direct surface treatments on tooth adhesiveness.

    • Main Results:

    • The adhesive properties of enamel and dentine are significantly influenced by their small organic fraction.
    • Surface treatments can modify tooth adhesiveness, either enhancing or reducing potential for strong adhesive contacts.
    • Salivary films rapidly form on teeth under physiological conditions, hindering strong adhesive contacts.

    Conclusions:

    • The organic matrix is crucial for the adhesive nature of dental tissues.
    • Modifying tooth surface chemistry can control adhesion, but requires careful consideration of the oral environment.
    • Isolation of teeth from saliva during procedures is essential for achieving clinically relevant adhesion to tooth surfaces.
