Q

How are plastic deformation and elasticity related?

A

Plastic deformation occurs when the force applied to a material causes strain that is greater than the material’s elastic modulus.

Capping weak cusps when the margin exceeds 2/3 distance between groove and cusp is called a ___________.

A

Resistance form

27
Q

Slightly rounded corners/line angles and a flat floor are examples of ___________.

A

Resistance form

28
Q

Sufficient thickness of a prep/restoration is an example of ____________.

amalgam 1.5+ mm
gold 1-2 mm
porcelain 2 mm

A

Resistance form

29
Q

Bevels that remove unsupported enamel and reduce stress concentrations are examples of _______

A

resistance form

30
Q

Wall length, convergence (for amalgam), and parallelism are examples of __________.

A

Retention form

31
Q

What pH demineralizes enamel?

A

pH 5.5 and below

32
Q

What pH demineralizes dentin?

A

pH 6.5 and below

33
Q

What happens to pH after a sugar exposure?

A

pH remains below 5.5 for 20-60 minutes

34
Q

Where do caries spread/advance most rapidly?

A

root surface because structure is softer there
