composite resin Flashcards
in dental composite, resin matrix phase is reinforced by dispersed ___ particle phase bound to the resin by a ________ and an initiator-accelerator system
filler particle phase
bound to resin by a silane coupling agent
bis-GMA (most widely used)
UDMA
TEGDMA
resin matrix
what is silica
a filler particle dispersed in resin matrix and need this for composite
-reinforcement of resin matrix
-decreased polymerization shrinkage
-decreased thermal expansion and contraction
-viscosity control
-decreased water sorption
-increased radiopacity
benefits of filler particles
monomers to be converted into polymers
and process is triggered by
composites
by free radicals (heat, light)
BHT andd hydroquinone
polymerization inhibitor
metal oxides=
=pigments
3 classifications of composities
- filler particle size and size distribution
- handling characteristics
- type of polymerization
what type of force breaks brittle materials (when they are weakest)
tensile strength (pulling)
where do caries spread more rapidly
in the dentin
tapered fissure bur
169
BURS CREATE INTERNAL ROUNDED LINE ANGLES
(UNDERCUTS)
245 AND 330
undercuts anything that converges
preserve marginal ridge and no undermined enamel (resistance)
divergence
retention of isthmus
converging
what carie fluoride protects again the most
smooth caries
