dental material science need to know Flashcards
explain gaseous porosity
voids in the material occurring when PMMA is cured fast
monomer boils
usually happens in a thicker section of the acrylic
what are the constitutes of gutta-percher?
20% GP
65% zinc oxide
10% radiopacifier
5% plasticiser
what are the properties of non-setting calcium hydroxide?
high pH- antimicrobial factors
hydrolysis pf LPS reduce inflammatory potential
removal of tissue debris
what are the constitutes of stainless steel?
72% iron
18% chromium
8% nickel
1.7% titanium
0.3% carbon
what is work hardening?
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
define springiness
can undergo large defelctions without permanent deformation
give disadvantages of self cure PMMA
poor mechanical properties
not suitable for pts w residual monomer allergy
What is the use of a cavity base?
to minimise bulk of material
blocks out undercuts
what kind of reaction takes place when mixing the base and catalyst for calcium hydroxide?
chelation reaction
what is the use of a cavity lining material
thin coat of material over the dentine and pulp
has pallative effect
what reaction occurs in ZOE cement
acid base reaction
what is the composition of the base for calcium hydroxde lining material?
- calcium hydroxide
- zinc oxide
- plasticiser
what chemicals react in ZOE cement and what is formed
ZnO and eugenol form zinc eugenolate
what is the strongest ZOE and why
EBA ZOE due to addition of quartz and aluminium
what takes part in the chelation reaction when mixing caclium hydroxide?
base- zinc oxide
catalyst- butylene glycol disalicylate
what pH is calcium hydroxide?
pH 12
what are uses of ZOE cement
lining material
temporary restoration
Root canal sealer - slow set 24 hours
what is the advantage of calcium hydroxide being highly alkaline?
kills bacteria
what are properties of ZOE
rapid set
good working time
low thermal conductivity
radiopaque
High soluble
name 4 properties of calcium hydroxide
- soluble
- alkaline
- irritant- stimulate tertiary dentine formation
- radiopaque
explain advantage and disadvantage of ZOE’s solubility
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
what is a contraindication of using ZOE
cannot place under a composite restoration as it affects bonding
when should calcium hydroxide be used?
as a direct or indirect pulp cap under deep restorations
why does calcium hydroxide need to be covered with a RMGIC?
soluble- prevents dissolution
what kind of bond is formed when etching an GIC?
micromechanical bond
What type of ZOE is least soluble resin modified or normal
resin modified so can use under amalgam filling
What form of cement is the least soluble
RMGIC
What is a contraindication of using GI near the pulp
any unreacted HEMA is cytotoxic to the pulp
list ideal properties of lining materials
- pulpal protection
- therapeutic
- radiopaque
- bond to dentine
- low solubility
- cariostatic
- low thermal expansion and conductivity
how can a lining material give pulpal protection?
- thermal- exothermic reaction of composite/heat conducted through metal restorations
- chemical- unreacted chemicals/pH of restorative materials
- bacterial- against microleakage
what property of GI makes it bettern than other lining materials
It bonds to enamel and dentine forming a better marginal seal
how does RMGI kill bacteria
polymerisation of RMGI releases cytotoxic enzymes
what does it mean if a lining material is “therapeutic”?
- reduces inflammation
- promotes healing
what is the significance of a lining material being radiopaque?
can be viewed radiogrpahically if displaced from tooth
allows for microleakage to be seen radiographically
explain the thermal properties of GI and their significance
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
