World Oral Health Day 2018 Celebrated at College of Dental Surgery BPKIHS, Say Ahh : Think Mouth, Think Health
World Oral Health Day 2018 was celebrated by multiple events like poster and flex competition, Speech competition and Table Clinic Competition. College of Dental Surgery, BPKIHS in coordination with Nepal Dental Association, Sunsari, organized the program. Also, 4th year BDS students as a part of their social responsibility for public awareness acted out a play regarding health hazards of drinking, smoking and chewing areca nut. The winners of Poster competition were Shabnam Gurung and Pratima Rai of BDS 2014 batch and the winner of Table Clinic Presentation were Anumesh Dahal and Nitika Santhaliya.

Mechanism of Bonding agents and Bond Strength on Cementum Surfaces compared to Dentin and Enamel
The American Society for Testing and Materials (specification D 907) defines adhesion as “the state in which two surfaces are held together by interfacial forces which may consist of valence forces or interlocking forces or both.” (ref. 2)
In dentistry, bonding of resin-based materials to tooth structure is a result of four possible mechanisms, as follows: (ref. 3)
For good adhesion, close contact must exist between the adhesive and the substrate (enamel or dentin). The surface tension of the adhesive must be lower than the surface energy of the substrate.
DENTIN
Adhesive materials can interact with dentin in different ways—mechanically, chemically, or both. The importance of micromechanical bonding, similar to what occurs in enamel bonding, has become accepted. (ref. 8) Dentin adhesion relies primarily on the penetration of adhesive monomers into the network of collagen fibers left exposed by acid etching. (ref. 9,10) However, for adhesive materials that do not require etching, such as glass ionomer cements and some phosphate-based self-etch adhesives, chemical bonding between polycarboxylic or phosphate monomers and hydroxyapatite has been shown to be an important part of the bonding mechanism. (ref. 11)
CEMENTUM
Cementum is the first target for plaque bacteria attack in the process of root caries formation, and is still thought to be the most unpredictable area of an adhesive resin restoration. Cementum hybridization is related to structure, chemical composition and bonding efficacy of human cementum, which has a lower packing density than dentin. Cementum is a specialized and mineralized tissue (20–200 micrometers thick), pale yellow with dull surface. The principal inorganic component is hydroxyapatite while other forms of calcium are also present. It is considered to be rich in organic phase (about 50%) of collagen fibers and other matrix proteins. The ultrastructure of etched cementum surfaces was of a more spongy appearance with a large collagen fiber network compared with that of dentin, displaying longer and more deeply voluminous array of tufted fibrils. It is less hard and more permeable to a variety of materials compared with enamel and dentin.
Cementum in the cervical area is an acellular extrinsic fiber cementum. This substratum is a nonuniform, and relatively rough tissue. Human cementum can be represented as a woven fabric-like material that provides tissue porosity and permeability. One of the surface features that distinguish demineralized cementum from dentin is a lack of patent tubule orifices. With an absence of these openings, cementum is at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to enhanced bonding adhesion.

In dentistry, bonding of resin-based materials to tooth structure is a result of four possible mechanisms, as follows: (ref. 3)
- Mechanical
- Adsorption
- Diffusion
- Combination of above three
For good adhesion, close contact must exist between the adhesive and the substrate (enamel or dentin). The surface tension of the adhesive must be lower than the surface energy of the substrate.
ENAMEL
Acid-etching transforms the smooth enamel into an irregular surface and increases its surface free energy. When a fluid resin-based material is applied to the irregular etched surface, the resin penetrates into the surface, aided by capillary action. Monomers in the material polymerize, and the material becomes interlocked with the enamel surface. (ref 4,5) The formation of resin microtags within the enamel surface is the fundamental mechanism of resin-enamel adhesion. (ref. 6,7)
