Biomechanics Flashcards
What are the goals of dental materials
longevity, function properly, aesthetics, patient satisfaction
Model of dental materials
similar to tooth structure, properties, and composition
What are the limitations of dental materials?
cannot know everything about a given material/system, have to choose parameters
Define measure (surface properties)
contact angle used to measure how liquid interacts w/ solid
Define good wetting
low contact angle
Define poor wetting
high contact angle
What are some clinical consequences of surface properties?
bonding time, cell attachment (sheer strength), hydrophilic/phobic, and surface area/roughness
What makes sealants
a slowable resin with NO filler that is clear
Is HEMA hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
possesses both
What is an advantage of hydroPHILIC primers?
low viscosity and allows for attachment to composite
Is tooth structure (dentin) hydrophobic or hydrophilic
hydrophobic
Where is surface wetting important?
anytime two different materials come in contact, impression materials, adhesives, bacterial adhesion
What does primary bonding affect?
chemical and electrochemical reactions
What does secondary bonding affect?
adsorption (onto) and absorption (into)
How are metals affected?
corrosion or spontaneous destructive oxidation
what metal do not corrode?
gold, platinum, titanum and palladium
Define active corrosion
leads to destruction via gamma 2
Define passive corrosion
production od corrive film that prevents further corrosion
Define immune corrosion
noble metals (full valence octet)
What are the components of electrochemical corrosion?
anode, cathode, circuit, and electrolights in solution
What is an anode?
corroded metal
What is a cathode
a passive supplier of electrons to solution
What are the four types of corrosion?
glavanic, structural selective, cervice (crack), stress
