Dental Materials Flashcards
Intro to DMS
What indicates the material is safe for its designated purpose?
CE mark
Essential requirement
Intro to DMS
Examples of Resorative Materials
- Amalgam
- Composites
- Glass ionomer cements
- Compomers
- Porclein
Intro to DMS
Examples of Impression Materials
- Impression Compound
- Impression Paste
- Hydrocolloids (alginate)
- Elastomers (Polysulphides, Polyethers, Silicones)
Intro to DMS
Examples of Metals/Alloys
- Amalgam
- Cobalt chronium
- Titanium
- Gold
- Stainless Steel
Intro to DMS
What are the 3 types of forces?
- Compressive
- Tensile
- Shear
Intro to DMS
How to calculate stress?
Stress = Force/Unit Area
Units: Pascal (Pa)
Intro to DMS
Define Strain
Calculation
Strain
= change in length/original length
Intro to DMS
Define Elastic (Young’s) Modulus (YM)
Calculation
YM = Stress/Strain
Into to DMS
What are the mechanical properties of enamel?
- brittle
- hard
- strong
- rigid
Intro to DMS
Which forces will dental materials need to be able to withstand?
- Compressive (biting)
- Friction (Grinding/chewing)
- Mastiscatory: Shear (Removal)
Intro to DMS
What would the cavity desgin and retention be for an amalgam restoration?
Cavity Design: Undercut
Retention: Mechanical
Intro to DMS
What would the cavity desgin and retention be for an composite restoration?
Cavity Design: Minimal
Retention: adhesion
Intro to DMS
What requirements must a material have for filling a cavity?
- must be pliable
- fit shape of interest
- set to form hard, strong material
Intro to DMS
What are the several failure mechanisms of materials?
- Fracture
- Hardness
- Abrasion
- Abrasion Resistance
- Fatigue
- Creep
- Deformation
Intro to DMS
Define fracture
Large force causes destuction of material’s structure
Intro DMS
Define hardness
ability of surface to resist indentation (KHN)
Intro to DMS
Define abrasion
material surface removal due to grinding
Intro to DMS
Define abrasion resistance
ability to withstand surface layers being removed, so comprimising surface integrity
Intro to DMS
Define fatigue
repetitive “small” stresses causes material fracture
Intro to DMS
Define Creep
Gradual dimensional change due to repeptitive small forces
Intro to DMS
Define deformation
applied stress causes permanent change in material’s dimensions
DOES NOT FRACTURE IT
Intro to DMS
Define De-bond
applied forces sufficient to break material-tooth bond
Intro to DMS
Define impact
large, sudden force causes fracture
Intro to DMS
What causes permanent deformation of materials
when the stress released is more than the elastic limit
Intro to DMS
What are the chemical properties of materials
- setting mechanism
- setting time
- corrosive potential
Intro to DMS
What are the physical properties of materials
- viscosity
- thermal conductivity
- thermal expansion
- density
- radiodensity
Intro to DMS
Standard conditions of the oral environment
- saliva
- temp variations
- pH variations
- oral bacteria
Bonding to Teeth
Properties of dental adhesive
- provide high bond strength to tooth tissues
- immediate high strength bond
- durable bond
- impermeable bond
- easy to use
- safe
Bonding to Teeth
In practice what is normally used for enamel etching?
30-50% aqueous solution of phosphoric acid
Bonding to teeth
Which resin is generally applied to the etched enamel?
