Q

polymerization initiated by what 3 things

A

light
heat
chemical mixing

29
Q

why is polymerization important

A
direct placement
flowable material
trigger for setting
repaid setting
room temp setting run
30
Q

direct placement vs indirect placement

A

direct- one visit, less preparation, don’t last as long

indirect- multiple visit, last very long, expense

31
Q

which are indirect placement

A

metals and ceramics (exceptions metals- amalgam, ceramics- cements

32
Q

which is direct placement

A

polymers

33
Q

use of polymers in dentistry

A

provisionals- temp crowns (linear)
adhesives- crosslinked
registered materials- impression materials

34
Q

composites

A

physical mixture of metals, ceramics, polymers

want to get some intermediate of all the properties

35
Q

composite rule of mixture

A

By knowing the phases present in the structure of any material and interfacial interactions, it is possible to predict the overall properties fairly well

36
Q

composite dispersed phase

A

glass fillers

37
Q

composite matrix phase

A

monomer resin

38
Q

fillers

A

are chemically bonded to resin phase to improve properties (silane coupling agents)

39
Q

2 types of fillers

A

silicate glass

colloidal silica

40
Q

how do fillers affect properties

A

increase strength, modulus, viscosity and decreases shrinkage

A

most things expand when they heat up and contract when cooled.

45
Q

thermal expansion coefficient

A

The degree of expansion divided by the change in temperature

46
Q

55
Q

what is metamerism

A

when two objects appear the same color under one light source but different color under another light source

56
