intro to biomaterials-amalgam Flashcards
mixture and alloys(mix with metal):
porcelains and ceramics
polymers
two types of polymers:
elastomeric (impression material)
plastics (denture base, sealants)
composites are:
polymers with fillers
performance of all dental materials depends on their
atomic structure
atomic structure determines ____ and ____ properties of materials
mechanical and physical
2 types of interatomic bonds:
primary and secondary
ionic, covalent, metallic
primary
hydrogen bond, van der waals forces
secondary
primary bonds: ionic
electrostatic attraction of _____ and ______ charges
positive and negative
involves electron transer between ions
primary bonds: ions
(one becomes + and one becomes -)
examples of primary bonds:ionic
ceramics and gypsum
properies are non-directional , strong bonds
and no free electrons with GOOD THERMAL and electrical insulators
primary bonds: ionic
2 atoms share electron
covalent
properties:
directional bonds
low electrical and thermal conductivity
water INSOLUBLE
primary bonds: covalent
examples are water, glass, polymers, composite
primary covalent bond
cluster of positive metal ions surrounded by a gas of electrons
non-directional bonds, high electrical and thermal
primary bonds: metallic
examples of metallic primary bond
amalgam and gold alloy
4 classifications of material properities
biological
surface
physical
mechanical
biological response to material when in contact with human body
(ex. gingivitis from plaque)
biological
unique properties of material associated with its surface
(dental retention and adhesive bonding)
surface
depend on TYPE OF ATOMS and the bonding present in material; size or shape have NO AFFECT
(optic color or gloss, thermal conductive)
physical
with physical classification, what is it dependent on and what has no affect
dependent on type of atoms
size and shape no affect
reaction of a material to the application of external force, size and shape of specimen affect properties
(structure sens and applied force is load)
mechanical
what affects properties in mechanical classification?
size and shape and rxn of external force (load)
structure insensitive :
sensitive:
insensitive physical
sens mechanical
when does stress develop
when load (force) applied to material, stress develops
stress =
load per unit area
how much stress a material can withstand before it breaks
fracture strength
type of strength measured is dependent on
type of force applied
pushing-
pulling-
sliding-
twisting-
bending-
pushing- compressive
pulling- tensile
sliding- shear
twisting- torsion
bending- flexure
