-Leucite (NOT lucite)
Polymer Bond Characteristics
Covalent Bonds High molecular weight Long molecules composed principally of nonmetallic elecments (CONH) Polymers are entangled long chains “Cooked spaghetti”
Where do polymer bonds derive strength and properties?
From the entanglement of “cooked spaghetti”
Polymerization Process (4 steps)
1 Light activation of initiator
2 Initiation of monomer
3 Propagation of Free Radical
4 Termination of Free Radical
4 Stages of Chain Reaction Polymerization
Activation -free radical initiation Initiation -Free radical combination with monomer unit -Double bond opening Propagation -Chain growth -Volume decrease -Shrinkage
Monomer Functional Groups
Monomethacrylates
Dimethacrylates
Monomethacrylates
Linear Chains
Dimetharcylates
Branched and cross linked
Poylermization Reaction
Once reaction starts it can be very fast and generate lots of heat

Why is Polymerization Important
Allows for in vivo processing-Direct placement
Direct Placement
Flowable material Stable material Trigger for setting Rapid setting Room temp setting reaction
Direct Vs Indirect Placement
Direct: Less prep, one visit. Don’t last
Indirect: Longevity of restorative. Multiple visits, expensive
Comparison of 3 Materials
Metals: Indirect
High processing temps
Except amalgam
Ceramics: Indirect
High processing temps
Except cements
Polymers: Direct
Low processing temps
Except Indirect composites
Uses of Polymers in Dentistry
Provisionals-Temporary Crowns-Linear
Adhesives-Crosslinked
Restorative-Crosslinked
Registration Materials-Impression Materials
Composites
Physical mixtures of metals ceramics and or polymers
Goal is to achieve some intermediate properties between the 2 material types. Rules of mixtures: dentin and enamel
Rules of MIxture
By knowing the phases present in the structure of any material and interfacial interactions. It is possible to predict the overall Properties fairly well
Dispersed phase
Glass Fillers
Matrix phase
Monomer resin
Dental Composite
Dispersed phase
Matrix phase
Fillers are chemically bonded to resin phase to improve properties
Photinitiators
Increase Filler Volume
Increases strenght modulus and viscosity
Decreases shrinkage
Increase filler size
Increase surface roughness

Ceramics 2-6 g/cm3
Polymers .8-1.2 g/cm3
Specific Gravity
=relative density=density of material/density of water

Thermal Expansion
Most things expand when heated contract when cooled
Heat Flow
Teeth are insulators due to high mineral content
Pulp can withstand small temp changes for short times. restricted circulation of pulp cannot dissipate heat and carry it away
Metals have high thermal conductivity so they need thermal insulator like base composites do not
