clinical aspects of composite Flashcards
understand chemistry look at clinical techniques understand shortcomings understand clinical indications
what is the chemistry of composite
matrix fillers coupling agents initiators and accelerators pigments
what is the composite called if it is just resin matrix
unfilled resin
what are the two viscous monomers
BIS-GMA
UDMA
what are the two diluents
TEGDMA
HEMA
what is step 1
resin matrix
what is a matrix
Phase that polymerizes to form a solid mass
what are the properties of matrix
absorbs water stains and discolours
least wear resistance
what does step 2 include
Silica particles
Quartz
Glass (Ba, Sr, Zr)
what is it called when composite is made of resin matrix and filler particles
filled resin
what are composites classified by
by filler size( micro filled and nano filled)
what determines the surface smoothness
filler size
what does the change in particle size lead to
the rougher the surface
what does an increase in filler content lead to
increase hardness/strength
increase abrasion resistance
handling
aesthetics
what happens as the filler content decreases
the resin content decreases
what is step 3
the coupling agent
what happens in step 3
the filler particle which is the inorganic matrix binds to the the resin matrix which in organic
what is organosilane known as
a bifunctional molecule
what does the silane end bond to
OH group of the filler particle
what does the methacrylate end polymerise to
polymerises to resin
what is step 4
Optical modifiers/Pigments
what do Optical modifiers/Pigments do
provide translucency and opacity
what do the Optical modifiers/Pigments tend to be
metal oxides of titanium dioxide and aluminium oxide
what is the colour shading chart we use for teeth
vita classical
