TOOTH STRUCTURE RECAP

  • Enamel and dentine key features
A
  • rods have hexagonal shape and provide rigidity to enamel

DENTINE
- crystals are much samller, hecne softer than enamel

  • acid etch remove smear layer and reveals high energy surface - much more challenging in dentine then enamel

Q

ENAMEL

  1. Overall structure?

(Rod structure)

A

• Highly mineralized crystalline structure
• Enamel is made up of rods or prisms, and rod sheaths and a cementing inter-rod substance in some areas

  • rods have hexagonal shape and provide rigidity to enamel

• Rods run from DEJ (dentinoenamel junction – interface of dentin and enamel) to the external surface of the tooth. Rods: 4-8μm diameter

• Rods are intertwined, densely packed and run a wavy course approximately perpendicular to the DEJ.

Q

Replacing restorations disadvan compared to repairing

A
  • Replacing a restoration may lead
    to an increase in cavity size
  • Weaken the tooth
  • studies show best treatment for defective restoration = conservative management + manage in MI way hence repair instead of replace

Q

why may physical failure of a material occur?

A
  • Critical stress is exceeded
  • The magnitude of the critical stress
    depends on the loading conditions
  • e.g. in general a material loaded in
    shear has a lower critical stress than
    one loaded in tension

forces on restorations are variable - they depend on many factors such as?

A
  • age
  • gender (occlusal forces usu lower in women then men)
  • facial form
  • muscle definition
  • mandibular angles (high angles can result in lower occlusal forces compare to those with low mandib angles)

27
Q

what is stress?

A

When an external force is applied on a
test specimen an internal force, equal in
magnitude but opposite in direction is set up in the body

28
Q

calculating stress formula and units

A
29
Q

what is strain?

A

When an external force is applied on a
test specimen it results a change in the
dimension

30
Q

calculating strain formula and units

A
  • as both have same units, cancel out and strain has NO UNITS
31
Q
A
  • mechanical properties = physical properties that a material exhibits on application of forces
  • stress-strain have close relationship - relationship usu used characterise mechanical prop of materials
  • so on application on external force, stress is generated on the body + dimensions change
32
Q

how do we test dental materials mechanical prop using the stess-strain relationship

A
  • we apply load at a uniform rate and deformation should also occur at a uniform rate
  • usu use a universal testing machine to determine these mechanical properties
33
Q

Stress-Strain curves

1
what do they show?

2
what does the straight line region display?

3
what does the gradient of the straight line region display and the region under the straight line display?

4
what is the yield point?

5
Failure point?

6
what is the elastic limit?

A

1
- shows relationship between stress and strain

2
- straight line region = linear relationship, both increase proportionally (stress proportional to strain)

3
- the elastic modulus of the material
- elastic region of material and materials will recover from any strain but have no change in dimension

4
- elastic limit of the material
- the point beyond which the material will experience a permanent deformation and change in dimension
- this is the plastic region

5
- depends on the material, more brittle have earlier failure point

6
- maximum stress a material will withstand without permanent deformation

38
Q

what is Young’s modulus?

A
  • mechanical property that measures the stiffness of a solid material
  • defines the relationship between stress and strain
39
Q

what determines stiffness of a material?

A
  • the dimensions of a material
40
Q

what does stiffness depend on?

A

dimensions

41
Q

what do we need to know about a material to be able to calculate it;s stiffness?

A

If the Young’s modulus of a material is known by using standard specimens
then it is possible to determine stiffness of any structure from that material

42
Q

EGs of stress strain graphs for different materials

  • which is the strongest?
  • which is the most brittle?
  • which is the most ductile?
A
  • help us distinguish diff types of behaviour
43

A
  • ceramics
  • some polymers
44

why is it important to know the yield point in dent?

A
45
Q

A

ADD SLIDE

46
Q

what is tensile strength?

A
  • ability of a material to resist a force that tends to pull it apart
  • the tensile strength of a material = max amount of tensile strength that it can withstand before failure
  • failure = material suffering plastic deformation OR breaking due to being brittle
47
Q
A
  • test specimen placed in universal testing machine
  • uniform load applied to pull apart and tensile strength can be determined
48
Q

is calculating tensile strength easy?

A
  • easy to analyse
  • difficult specimen preparation
  • alignment is crucial
49
Q

what is compressive strength of a material?

how is it determenined?

A
  • max compressive load it can withstand without undergoing failure
  • using cylindrical specimen with dimensions in accordance to ASTM or ISO standards
  • brittle materials tend to show fragmentation of specimen when max compressive strength is exceeded
  • ductile materials show ???
50
Q

51
Q
A
51
Q

Diametral COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH (Indirect tensile strength)

A
  • property for characterising dental composite restorations
  • cylindrical specimen loaded onto universal testing machine BUT the axis is changed

REWATCH 35 min ONWARDS

52
Q

what is flexural strength of a material?

A
  • ability to resists deformation under load
  • materials that deform signif BUT don’t break, the load is yield is typically measured at 5 % deformation of the outer surface and reported as flexural strength of a material
  • flexural forces = as a result of forces generated in clinical situations + the dental materials need to withstand repeated, twisting, bending and flexing
  • higher flexural strength = desirable, as once action of chewing stresses, may induce a permanent deformation
53
Q

diff between flexure and bend test

A
  • type of material used and information we obtain
  • flexure test - designed to measure bend stregth of a brittle material
  • bend test - designed to measure crack resistance of ductile material
54
Q

how is testing done?

A
  • beam = green specimen and supported
  • centre load and bending is measured

right image
- 3 loading points (4 point bending test)
- surface defects become more apparent in this test

55
Q

56
Q

what is hardness?

A
  • (important property of dental materials)
  • defined as the resistance to perm surface indentation.
