Intro to DMS Flashcards
Behaviour of dental materials effects the selection of material. What considerations do you need to make?
- Is the material adequate and the best type?
What should be on a product to ensure that it is safe?
- A CE mark
- However, it is not a guarantee that the material is the best available
What are 5 examples of restorative materials?
- Amalgam
- Composites
- Glass ionomer cements
- Compomers
- Porcelain
What are 4 examples of impression materials?
- Impression compound
- Impression paste
- Hydrocolloids
= Alginate
- Elastomers
= Polysulphides
= Polyethers
= Silicones
What are 5 examples of metals/alloys that are used in dentistry ?
- Amalgam
- Cobalt chromium
- Titanium
- Gold
- Stainless steel
What does Porcelain look like?
- Tooth like in appearance
What material is used for a negative replica of the dentition?
- Impression materials
What material is used to make a positive replica of the dentition?
- Gypsum
What can stainless steal be used for in dentistry?(2 points)
- A denture base
- An orthodontic appliance
What can cobalt chromium be used for in dentistry?
- Partial denture
What is the relevance of studying DMS?
- Will use many different materials with a range of characteristics and modes of use
- Must use materials appropriately
- Must be independent
- Need to be able to communicate with other dental professionals
- Provides framework for understand=nding materials
- Be able to address health and safety issues of materials - allergic components
- Manage patient expectations (aesthetics, longevity of restoration)
What are the different properties of a material that we need to know about? (3 points)
- Mechanical
- Chemical
- Physical
What could a force applied to a material cause it to do? (3 points)
- Stretch/compress (depends on how the force is applied)
- Deform (temporary or permanent)
- Fracture (failure)
What is compressive strength?
The maximum compressive stress that under gradually applied load is given solid material will sustain without fracture
What is tensile strength?
- The greatest longitudinal stress a substance can bear without tearing apart
What is shear force?
- Unaligned forces pushing one part of a body in one direction, and another part of the body in the opposite direction
What is stress?
- Force applied divided by the area of the object
What is strain?
- The change in length with respect to the original length
- Stress is proportional to strain
What is stress proportional to?
- Strain
What is the Young’s modulus equal to?
- Stress/strain
- It i the gradient or slope of the linear bit of a stress/strain graph
