Q

what is work hardening?

A

work done on metal below its recrystallisation temperature causes slip
slip= dislocations collect ar grain boundaries hence stronger, harder material
the hard wire is made by drawing the metal in a cold state through a series of dies of successively smaller diameter
this makes it stronger and gives it spring properties

Q

explain advantage and disadvantage of ZOE’s solubility

A

advantage - eugenol is continually released which releives pain

disadvantage - soluble in water so eugenol is released and this inhibits setting of resin materials

eugenol also discolours resin materials

35
Q

explain the thermal properties of GI and their significance

A

thermal conductivity is less than dentine (RMGI and GI)
thermal expansion is similar to dentine (GI)

during exposure to heat the GI will react similarly to dentine which will maintain seal of material
