Q

If a notch has a large effect on impact strength it is ?

A

notch sensitive

30
Q

What 2 properties are needed to determine if a material is notch sensitive ?

A

Ep

Ei

31
Q

What is Ei ?

A

energy of initiation

energy of failure of unnotched specimens

32
Q

What is Ep ?

A

energy of propagation

energy needed to fail notched specimens

33
Q

What is the relationship between Ep and Ei in a notch senstitive material ?

A

Ei > Ep

34
Q

Impact strength is also known as ?

A

toughness

35
Q

How do we usually measure diametral tensile strength ?

A

dumb bell shaped specimens

apply tensile force

36
Q

Why can we use conventional methods to measure tensile strenght in brittle materials ?

A

they would shatter

37
Q

How do we measure diamteral tensile strength in materials ?

A

apply a compressive froce
this sets up tensile forces within the specimen that are equal and opposite direction and perpendicular to the force application

38
Q

What happens as we apply more compressional stress ?

A

the internal forces will increase

material breaks down the diameter

39
Q

Which types of materials can only have their diamteral tesnile strength measured ?

A

rigid materials

brittle materials would shatter

40
Q

How do we calculate stress ?

A

force/cross sectional area

41
Q

What is adhesion ?

A

attachment of one surface to another as a result of molecular attraction or interlocking with the surfaces

42
Q

What are the 3 types of adhesion ?

A

chemical
physical
complex

43
Q

What is chemical bonding ?

A

molecular attraction

44
Q

What is physical bonding ?

A

interlocking of surfaces of adhesive

45
Q

What is complex bonding ?

A

combination of physical and chemical

46
Q

What are the materials used in white fillings ?

A

glass ionomers

composites

47
Q

What are composite materials ?

A

resin based

filled with glass filler

48
Q

Do composites bind directly to the tooth ?

A

no

thye need an adhesive

49
Q

How do you apply a composite ?

A

acid to remove mineral content
dentine is porous
resin is applied and uses chemical process to infiltrate porosities
composite is applied to resin

50
Q

How does composite bind ?

A

physical process

resin uses chemical process

51
Q

What are the layers in a composite filling ?

A

dentine
resin
composite

52
Q

How do GIC set ?

A

no

GIC binds to dentine withour need for adhesive

54
Q

How does GIC adhere to dentine ?

A

chemical process

55
Q

Does composite or GIC have a higher shear bond strenght ?

A

composite- as it has an adhesive

56
Q

What are the 3 modes of failure ?

A

adhesive

cohesive mixed

What is an adhesive mode of failure ?

A

smooth surface

failure of interface of resin and composite

58
Q

What is a cohesive mode of failure ?

A

rough surface
either some composite left behind
or some dentine removed

59

A

be mixed with an initiator

inititated by light

A

Require exposure to a visible light source

66
Q

What is the wavelength of visible light ?

A

380 to 700 nm

67
Q

Why are chemically activated polymers harder to use than light activated ?

A

chemcially activated have shorter working time

light activated materials have infinite working time

68
Q

What is the disadvantage of using a curing light ?

A

it can only set composites to the depth the light can reach

as a result have to do composite fillings in layers

69
Q

A

distance
angle
depth

70
Q

What is the relationship between the diameter of the cure tip and light intensity ?

A

the smaller the diameter of the light tip the higher the light intensity
