COURSE SUMMARY: Antimicrobial is a game changer in restoration dentistry. Tooth preparation disinfection is the foundation to improve the longevity of direct resin composites, zirconia, and 3D-printed restoration. Also, current research shows the potential of quaternary ammonium silane K21 in disinfecting the tooth in preparations for restoration has been demonstrated. This molecule has been further developed to functionalize the dental monomer methyl methacrylate (K18-MMA) and glass filler (K18-Filler). This development presents the possibility of producing permanently antimicrobial dental materials (including composites, denture material, denture liners, adhesives, endodontic fillers, etc.) and protecting the dental material from degradation, protecting the dental material/tooth interface from secondary caries, and preventing and treating denture stomatitis. This course will teach the efficacy and utility of using K21 to disinfect tooth preparations and how K18-MMA and K18-Filler affects dental material cure, esthetic, mechanical and antimicrobial properties.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
1. Understand why and how tooth preparation disinfection is a game changer in restorative dentistry.
2. Learn the effects of quaternary ammonium silane functionalized dental monomer methyl methacrylate (K18-MMA) and filler (K18-Filler) on various dental materials and their potential in commercialized products.
3. Understand the effects of using K18-MMA and K18-Filler on dental composite cure, esthetic, mechanical, and antimicrobial properties.
4. Understand the effects of using K18-MMA and K18-Filler on dental denture hard reline material cure, esthetic, mechanical, and antimicrobial properties.
5. Understand the effects of using K18-MMA and K18-Filler on 3D-printed denture material cure, esthetic, mechanical, and antimicrobial properties.
