Dental Materials Pt. 3 (27-35) Flashcards
polysiloxanes are hydrophoboic/philic
hydrophobic (consequences for taking impressions)
polysiloxanes are cross linked by
hydrosilation reaction
how can surfactants affect polysiloxanes?
can make them hydrophilic
advantages of polysiloxanes
can repour!
dimensionally stable***
disadvantages of polysiloxane
overcoming hydrophobic properties
polyethers are hydrophilic/phobic
hydrophobic (but better surface characteristics
polyethers can control viscosity to control
thickness of impression
advantages of polyethers
good dimensional stability
disadvantages of polyethers
stiff, bad taste, low tear strength
unmixed ester can cause
contact dermatitis
gypsum is hydrophilic/phobic
hydrphobic
gypsum is cured how
water cured
advantages of gypsum
dimensionally stable, doesn’t stain, no odor or taste
disadvantages of gypsum
hard to vary set time, lots of bubbles, expensive
if you add silicone to gypsum it releases
hydrogen gas
calcination reaction
gypsum +water via heat= plaster
reverse gypsum reaction
add water it releases heat and goes back to calcium sulfate
properties of gypsum are dependent on
density and crystal structure
is dental stone or plaster used for models?
dental stone
denture base is normally
VLC
provisionals are normally
chemically cured
Mouthguards purpose
absorb impact
mouthguards are thermoplastic or thermoset?
thermoplastic
thermoplastic
can be melted and reformed
thermoset
cant be melted and reformed
function of cement
bind restorations to tooth
requirements for cements
low viscosity
good mechanical properties
25 um thickness
how are cement properties modified?
powder to liquid ratio
More filler (powder) means more
viscosity
restoration ratio of p/l
2.7:1
low powder/liquid ratio increases
working and setting time
resin cements are ____ based
water
viscosity and strength of resin cements controlled by
powder to liquid ratio
glass ionomers are ____ based
water
glass ionomers adhere to
tooth structure
glass ionomers release
fluoride
disadvantages of glass ionomers
slow setting and looks bad
purpose of bases and liners
protect pulp and minimize post op sensitivity
thermal/chemical barrier, controls inflammation, movement
liners are a thin material used to protect
dentin from residual reactants
liners have a ___ viscosity
low
bases provide ____ for pulp
thermal protection
bases provide mechanical support by distribution of
local stresses from restoration to underlying dentin
calcium hydroxide is used for
pulp capping
calcium hydroxide stimualates
odontoblast formation
ZOE is used for
pain reduction
ZOE can/cant be used with composite
cant, as it inhibits polymerization
ZOE is a
sedative
Wax requirements are
temporary, melt at low temps, carvable burn off, dimentionally stable
lower molecular weight materials in between
polymers and organic liquids
for mouthguards, copolymers control
properties
