What is a CE mark
A mark indicating the material is safe
What restorative materials will we use

Glass ionomer cements
Porcelain
Compomers
What are the impression materials
Impression Compound
Impression Paste
Hydrocolloids
-alginate
Elastomers:
-polysulphides
-polyethers
-silicones
What materials are metals and alloys
Amalgam
Cobalt chromium
Titanium
Gold
Stainless steel
What types of force are there
Compressive (down)
Tensile (pulled)
Shear (pushed from side)
What is the equation for stress
Force/unit area
units = pascal
How is strain calculated
Change in length/original length x 100
What are the mechanical properties of enamel
Brittle
Hard
Strong
Rigid
What is the typical biting force
500-700N
What are the retention properties of amalgam and composite
Amalgam - mechanical
Composite - adhesive
What is abrasion resistance
ability to withstand surface layers being removed, so compromising surface integrity
What does hardness within a dental material allow for
Ability of surface to resist indentation
When a material gradually changes dimensions when forces are aapplied…
Creep
What causes fatigue within a material
Repetitive ‘small’ stresses causing the material to fracture
What is the difference between creep fatigue and deformation
Deformation is caused by stress alike fatigue however it results im permanent change to dimensions instead of fracture
Creep also results in dimensional change but gradually due to repetitive small forces
