Intro Flashcards
when assessing the chemical and mechanical properties of a material, we are answering the question….
what is the effect of the oral environment on the material?
Other than chemical and mechanical properties, what other physical properties of materials are important to consider
thermal and optical properties
What effects can the oral cavity have on synthetic materials
chemical attack
corrosion
mechanical shock
surface abrasion
biological materials
materials which occur in the body
assessing interfacial properties asks the question…
what is the nature of the interface between the synthetic material and the oral tissues?
what are the six important concepts that must be analyzed when assessing the requirements of materials to be used in the oral cavity
BICMEP biocompatibility interfacial properties chemical properties mechanical properties esthetics practicability
why must optical properties be assesed
aesthetic appeal
restoration should match appearance of tooth - color, translucency
what is being assessed when looking into interfacial properties of a material
adhesion
microleakage
Other than chemical and mechanical properties, what other physical properties of materials are important to consider
thermal and optical properties
Assessing biocompatibility asks the question…
what effect will the material have on the oral environment
5 reasons why biomaterials are of importance
- wrong material = premature failure
- wrong manipulation = premature failure
- design of restoration/prosthesis depends on material properties
- rapidly changing subject
- problems of dental practice
blood bags are?
biomaterials
they are in contact with human tissue
biological materials
materials which occur in the body
biomaterials
synthetic materials for use in the body
good biocompatibility is…
an appropriate host response to a material
what is being assessed when looking into interfacial properties of a material
adhesion
microleakage
the major source for biomaterials problems is _____
the bio/non bio interface
why must thermal properties be assessed
expansion/contraction
conduction of heat
dental biomaterials
synthetic materials for use in the mouth and associated lab processing materials
