Q

(T/F) passivation is the process of enhancing the titanium oxide layer to increase resistance to ion release and degradation

A

True

Passivation=> enhance oxide layer to minimise release of metal ions => minimise corrosion/improve corrosion resistance
- via immersion in 40% nitric acid/anodisation for titanium based alloys (implant materials)

Q

(T/F) the benefits of APS are fast setting time, no by-product and high molecular weight

A

True

  • addition polymerise silicones
  • notes say it has moderately low mw silicone tho
  • from internet: high mw, higher degree of entanglement, more bonding, can absorb more energy b4 failing

Q

(T/F) flux is added to alloy to increase the melting temperature and dissolve oxides that form during casting

A

False, dosent increase the melting temp (it makes it more fluid so means decrease melting temp?)

Functions of flux:
- prevent O2 in air from contacting hot metal => prevent oxidation
- dissolves oxides that may form when metal heated
- increases fluidity of metal
- minimise porosity

- temporary soft-denture liners that help your gums and soft tissue recover from damage caused by old or poorly-fitting dentures
- formed in situ
- i think why this statement is wrong is cuz it doesnt bond well to metal framework??

Q

(T/F) corrosion of amalgam alloys is always good because the products aid in marginal retention

A

- tho corrosion at interface btw tooth & restoration actually forms corrosion products that seal space
- but not ALWAYS good cuz corrosion also causes harm => 1. Wet corrosion: galvanism, short circuit pulp, pain or 2. Mercuorscopic expansion, pushes restoration away from tooth

Strength of material can be described by the following properties:
1. Proportional limit
- stress above which stress is no longer proportional to strain
2. Elastic limit
- maximum stress a material can withstand before it becomes plastically deformed
3. Yield strength/proof stress
- stress required to produce a given amount of plastic strain

4. Ultimate tensile strength, shear strength, compressive strength, flexural strength: each of which is a measure of stress required to fracture a material
