Introduction Flashcards
Science that deals with the study of different chemical and physical properties, their manipulation and the clinical application or usage of the various materials used in the dental practice.
Dental Materials
Give an example of physical properties
Elasticity
Malleability
Size
Objectives of Dental Materials
Fields in dentistry and dental materials
✏️ Endodontics ✏️ Orthodontics ✏️ Prosthodontics ✏️ Pediatric Dentistry ✏ Periodontics ✏️ Restorative Dentistry
Deals with the tooth pulp and the tissues surrounding the root of tooth.
Endodontics
Study and treatment of malocclusion
Orthodontics
Field that deals in the replacement for something that is missing in the oral cavity
Prosythodontics
Give an example of the treatment for prosthodontics
FPD
BRIDGE
Concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of conditions of the teeth and mouth in children
✒️ Pediatric Dentistry
Focuses on the preservation and restoration of decayed,defective,missing and traumatized teeth.
Restorative Dentistry
Orthodontics materials:
Molar band Band Archwire Hook Bracket Elastic ligature
One of the most prevalent diseases affecting humans.
Dental Caries
He divided caries into 6 classifications
G.V Black
Lesion or caries found on the occlusal surface of posterior teeth or lingual surfaces of anterior teeth.
Class 1
Lesion or caries found on proximal surfaces of posterior teeth
Class 2
Lesion or caries found on proximal surface of anterior teeth NOT involving the incisal angle
Class 3
Lesion or caries found on proximal surface of anterior teeth involving the incisal angle.
Class 4
Lesion or caries found on the cervical area.
Class 5
Lesion or caries found on the surface that are not classified into class 1-5
Class 6
Example of Class 6
Cusp tip
Middle area of tooth
Agencies that govern approval of dental materials
FDI
Federación Dental Internacional
ADA
American Dental Association
ISO
International Organization for Standardization
Ability to resist applied forces without fracture or excessive deformation
Strength
Maximum stress that a structure can withstand without sustaining a specific amount of plastic strain or stress at the point of fracture
Strength
Strength towards and in line with each other (flattening)
Compressive Strength
Ability to withstand compressive stress
Compressive strength
- towards direction
- forces in line
Compressive strength
Tend to move away from each other
Tensile Strength
Kind of strength that can withstand a twisting motion
Shear strength
Flattening motion
Compressive strength
Elongating motion
Tensile strength
Twisting motion
Shear strength
Combination of compressive, tensile, and shear
Complex strength
External force given to a body
Stress
Formula for stress
Stress= F
➖
A
4 types of stress
- Tensile
- Compressive
- Shear
- Complex
Response of a materials to stress
Strain
Formula for strain
Strain = change in length
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
Original length
Ability to go back to its original form
Resilience
Amount of energy absorbed by a structure when it is stressed not to exceed its proportional unit
Resilience/ Springiness
Greatest stress to which material can be subjected to such that it will return to its original dimension when the forces are released
Elastic Limit
- ability of material to absorb elastic energy and to deform plastically before fracturing
- difficult to break
Toughness
Example of toughness
Rubber band
Fracture of the material at or near its proportional limit
Brittleness
Relative inability of a material to deform plastically
Brittleness
Example of brittleness
Porcelain
Ability of a material to withstandor resist scratching or indentation using a sharp instrument
Hardness
Tests for hardness
✔️ knoop ✔️ brinell
✔️ rockwell ✔️ barcol
✔️ vickers ✔️ shore
Vickers
Brinell
V
Ball
Ability of the materials to be twisted or contoured in any desired form or shape without breaking
Flexibility
Example of flexibility
Wires
Property of the material to be deformed continuously even without altering the magnitude of the applied force
Flow
Ability to withstand a permanent deformation under a compressive load
Malleability
Ability of a material to withstand permanent deformation under a tensile load without a rapture
Ductility
Presence of dissimilar/ different metals in the oral cavity producing electric shock
- example
Galvanism
- saliva as conductor
Rate at which heat flows through a material
Thermal conductivity
Cancer producing
Carcinogenic
Caries producing
Cariogenic
