22
Q

what kind of force is biting

A

compressive

23
Q

force directions for compression

A

force going up and force going down

24
Q

force directions for tensile

A

stretching to create fracture - pulling in opposite directions

25
Q

force directions for sheer

A

one force acting sideways

26
Q

what does tensile force do to dimension

A

change

27
Q

what is stress measured in

A

mega pascals

28
Q

describe what happens with forces to the tooth during grinding and chewing

A

tooth slides along the surface of the other, frictional forces are experienced

the tooth surface may be abraded, loss of layers of enamel

29
Q

why is it important that materials adhere to enamel

A

otherwise the enamel would be removed by masticatory forces

30
Q

what to consider when choosing restorative materials

A

what treatment options are there
what material suits each procedure
will that material suit the patients needs and requirements

31
Q

what’s the design of amalgam

A

undercut

32
Q

what is the design of composite resin

A

minimal

33
Q

what is the retention type of amalgam

A

mechanical

34
Q

what is the retention type of composite resin

A

adhesive

35
Q

what are the benefits of an undercut design

A

keeps the material in place

36
Q

what are the key features required for materials when filling the cavity

A

the material must be pliable, fit the shape of interest, and set to form hard, strong material

37
Q

what is the failure mechanism of a fracture

A

large force causes catastrophic destruction of materials structure

38
Q

what is the failure mechanism of hardness

A

ability of surface to resist indentation

39
Q

what is the failure mechanism of abrasion

A

material surface removal due to grinding

40
Q

what is the failure mechanism of abrasion resistance

A

ability to withstand surface layers being removed, so compromising surface integrity

41
Q

what is the failure mechanism of fatigue

A

repetitive small stresses cause material fracture

42
Q

what is the failure mechanism of creep

A

gradual dimensional change due to repetitive small forces

43
Q

what is the failure mechanism of deformation

A

applied stress causes permanent changes in materials dimensions but does not fracture it

44
Q

what is the failure mechanism of debonding

A

applied forces sufficient to break the material to tooth bond

45
Q

what is the failure mechanism of impact

A

large, sudden force causes fracture

46
Q

what is abrasion

A

when the tooth grinds along the opposing tooth surface or restorative material at its surface. the surface is abraded and there is loss of material surface layers, causing a roughened surface

47
Q

how are most failures brought about

A

when repeated loads are applied, small flaws in a material grow and this allows the fracture when only a relatively small force is applied

48
Q

what is creep

A

repetitive forces causing dimensional change

49
Q

what results in permanent deformation

A

releasing stress that is greater than the elastic limit

50
Q

how is debonding used in orthodontics

A

to remove the appliance, shear force is applied to separate the bracket/bonding material from the tooth surface

51
Q

A

setting mechanism
setting time
corrosive potential

52
Q

main physical properties for dental materials

A

viscosity

thermal expansion
density
radiodensity

53
