bds2 intro to dental materials Flashcards
questions to ask regarding treatment plan for removal of caries and restoration
which material is suitable
how to use material
explain the options to the patient
select the material
the behaviour of dental materials affects which stages of the clinical episode, explain why
selection - best type
preparation - cavity design and tooth surface
placement - technique
performance - quality of fit and longevity
patient expectations - aesthetics and durability
what does the CE mark indicate
that a material is safe provided you use it for the designated purpose
list some common restorative materials
amalgam
composites
glass ionomer cements
composers
porcelain
which impression material is a hydrocolloid
alginate
which impression material is an elastomer
polysulphides
polyethers
silicones
features of composite resin in restorations
initially will flow out of the cartridge (low and high viscosities exist)
sets within margins and hardens
what is the negative replica of impressions materials
the recorded dentition - ie initial impression
describe the features of impression materials
flows into tray with low viscosity and undergoes a setting reaction to become firm and stable
what is the positive replica of an impression
gypsum - the “fake” teeth
what can happen to a material when forces are applied
stretch or compression depending on the force
deformation either temporary or permanent
fracture
calculation for stress
force / unit area
what are the units for stress
pascals
what is strain
change in length / original length
what is Youngs modules discussing
elasticity
what is the definition of Youngs modulus
elastic (Youngs) modulus is equal to stress over strain
FS
fracture stress
PL
proportional limit
mechanical property terms
hard vs soft
strong vs weak
rigid vs flexible
brittle vs ductile
what is the typical biting force
500 to 700N
biting force in kg
50-70kg
