Denal materials Flashcards
name the 6 different categories in materials
cermet, metallic, organo-metallic, polymers, composite, ceramics
what 2 mixed make composites?
ceramics and polymers
describe metals
high conductivity, luster, malleable, forms Cations when disolved
describe polymers
large molecule formed by many small ones
describe ceramics
inorganic & non-metallic, usually oxides but also sulfides ( glass is a type of ceramic)
describe composites
combination of ceramic powder and polymers
describe cermet
metal and ceramic powders combined
describe organometallic
dispersion of metal powders in a polymer, not common in dentistry
name the properties that are commonly tested for in dentistry
compression, tension, torsion, shear.
strength testing devices test what 2 things?
strain( change in dimension), stress( force/ area)
tensile tests test what
force/area, force pulling up and area being pulled
name some tests for bending
3 point, 4 point flexure test
shear testing is often used for what?
bonding
name the 3 adhesion mechanisms
mechanical, chemical, wetting/contact angle
torsion is important in what
tooth extraction, implant placement
describe fracture toughness
resistance to fracture when crack is present
describe elastic modulus
even slope= elastic, above is rigid, below is ductle
what is brittle?
no visible deformation before breaking
