Compound Systems Flashcards
What is a compound system?
Making materials work with each other
What are the tooth properties?
Enamel - hard to withstand mastication but brittle
Dentine - able to withstand loading - soft
PDL - proprioception
What are the difference of enamel and dentine for elastic modulus, fracture strength and compressive strength
Elastic modulus: e- 85GPa, d- 15GPa
Fracture s: e- 10MPa, d- 10Mpa
Compressive s: e- 400MPa, d- 300Mpa
What to think about when restoring compound structures?
Structure Form and colour Resist functional forces Resist wear/ degradation Resist static and dynamic force
What are the 3 aims when restoring compound structure of tooth?
- Using compound system w/ components with desirable properties
- Careful bio-mechanical design consideration
- Using effective and reliable adhesive interface assembly
What are relevant properties of restorative materials?
Elastic modulus Compressive strength Flexural strength Fracture toughness Coefficient thermal expansion Hydroscopic expansion Wear behaviour Fatigue behaviour
CCHEFFF W
What is coefficient of thermal expansion?
Tooth - expansion = 10ppm degree celciuis
Composite - expansion = 50ppm degree celsius
Lead to fatigue
What are properties of fillers used in composite?
Structure alters the properties and behaviour of material Reduce polymerisation shrinkage Limit fracture propagation Increase wear resistance Improve optical properties
How to join materials in compound systems?
Specific adhesion - glass ionomer to dentine
Micro-mechanical adhesion - scotch bond to etched dentine
Mechanical interlocking
What are useful interactions between materials?
Complementary properties
Mechanical protection
Adhesion
What are unwanted interactions?
Electromechanical corrosion
Mismatched thermal expansion
Unstable dimensional form
What is ideal properties for dentine replacement?
Low elastic modulus Adhesive Resilient to absorb shock F- releasing Resistant to degradation
What is ideal properties for enamel replacement?
High elastic modulus Tooth-coloured Reliable bonding Abrasion matched to enamel Resistant mechanical fatigue
Difference between block, shell and lamina form?
Block - inlay/ restoration - on load will fracture
Shell - crown - on load may deform
Laminate - veneer- can crack or deform depending on material
