A

Stress/strain

19
Q

What are the 8 possible mechanical properties?

A

Hard, soft, strong, weak, rigid, flexible, brittle, ductile

20
Q

What are the mechanical properties of enamel?

A

Brittle, hard, strong, rigid

21
Q

What force does biting apply to teeth?

A

Compressive

-to upper tooth

22
Q

What forces are experienced when grinding/chewing?

A

Tooth slides along surface of the other

Frictional forces

23
Q

What is the consequence of biting (compressive forces)

A

fracture

24
Q

What is the consequence of grinding/chewing?

A

abrasion

25
Q

Why do restorative materials have to be adhered to enamel?

A

If not they will be removed by masticatory force

26
Q

What restorative material required an undercut?

A

amalgam

27
Q

How does amalgam achieve retention?

A

undercut-mechanical

28
Q

How does composite resin achieve retention?

A

adhesive

29
Q

What are the requirements of a filling material?

A

Must be pliable, to fit shape of interest, must set to form hard, strong material

30
Q

What is the failure mechanism of fracture?

A

Large force causes catastrophic destruction of materials structure

31
Q

What is the failure mechanism of hardness?

A

Ability of surface to resist indentation

32
Q

What is the failure mechanism of abrasion?

A

Material surface removal due to grinding

  • tooth grinds/slides along opposing tooth surface
  • loss of material surface layers, roughened surface
33
Q

What is the failure mechanism of abrasion resistance?

A

Ability to withstand surface layers being removed, so compromising surface integrity

34
Q

What is the failure mechanism of fatigue?

A

Repetitive small stresses cause material fracture

35
Q

What is the failure mechanism of creep?

A

Gradual dimensional change due to repetitive small forces

36
Q

What is the failure mechanism of deformation?

A

Applied stress causes permanent change in materials dimensions

37
Q

What is the failure mechanism of de-bond?

A

Applied forces sufficient to break material-tooth bond

38
Q

What is the failure mechanism of impact?

A

Large, sudden force causes fracture

39
Q

Why is a rough surface bad?

A

can act as plaque trap

40
Q

where is de-bonding commonly used?

A

in removal of orthodontic appliance

-shear force used to separate bracket/bonding material from tooth surface

41
Q

what chemical properties should be considered?

A

setting mechanism
setting time
corrosive potential

42
Q

what physical properties should be considered?

A
viscosity
thermal conductivity
thermal expansion
density
radiodensity
