Introduction To Dental Materials Flashcards
Dental Prosthesis:
Dental Prosthesis: An artificial replacement (prosthesis) of one or
more teeth (up to the entire dentition in either arch) and
associated structures (fixed or removable).
Rdp is
• Removable Dental Prosthesis: Any dental prosthesis that replaces
some or all teeth in a partially dentate arch (PRDP) or edentulous
arch (CRDP). It can be removed from the mouth and replaced at
will.
Fixed Dental Prosthesis
Fixed Dental Prosthesis (Crowns and Bridges): Any prosthesis
that is securely fixed to a natural tooth or teeth, or to one or
more dental implants/implant abutments; it cannot be removed
by the patient.
•crown
• Crown: An artificial replacement that restores missing tooth
structure by surrounding part or all of the remaining structure
with a material such as cast metal, porcelain, or a combination of
materials such as metal and porcelain.
Inlay:
• Onlay:
• Ceramic Inlay:
Inlay: An intracoronal restoration
• Onlay: If one or more cusps are restored (covered)
• Ceramic Inlay: a ceramic intracoronal restoration
What is Science of Dental materials?
What is Science of Dental materials?
“Is the study of the composition and properties of dental materials
and the way in which they interact with the environment in which
they are placed (vivo and vitro)”
Gypsum products are used to construct
Gypsum products are used to construct models and dies (casts)
which should be accurate replicas of the patient’s hard and soft
tissues.
- Gypsum rproducts used in dentistry are based on
- When mixed with water it reacts to form
- Gypsum products used in dentistry are based on calcium sulphate
hemihydrate CaSO4·0.5H2O. - When mixed with water it reacts to form the calcium sulphate
dihydrate CaSO4·2H2O.
CaSO 4·0.5 H 2 O + 1.5H 2 O CaSO 4·2H 2 O
Types of Dental Gypsum Products
Types of Dental Gypsum Products
- Type 1 Dental plaster, impression
- Type 2 Dental plaster, model
- Type 3 Dental stone, die, model
- Type 4 Dental stone, die, high strength, low expansion
- Type 5 Dental stone, die, high strength, high expansion
Waxes
Waxes
- Waxes are thermoplastic materials which are normally solids at
room temperature but can change into the soft or liquid state by
heating.
- Investing:
- Casting investment materials:
- Investing: The process of covering or enveloping, wholly or
partially, wax patterns with a suitable investment material before
processing, soldering, or casting - Casting investment materials: Material consisting principally of
silica and a bonding agent (binder).
- According to the nature of the binder, casting investment
materials can be categorized into three groups:
- According to the nature of the binder, casting investment
materials can be categorized into there groups:
. Gypsum-bonded (for use in lower casting temperatures)
. Silica-bonded
. Phosphate-bonded (for use in higher casting temperatures)
In the case of acrylic denture production the baseplate wax is
invested in a
In the case of acrylic denture production the baseplate wax is
invested in a two-part split mold using dental plaster or stone as
the investment (Flasking). Following removal of the wax the
resulting mold is filled with acrylic resin.
- Metal:
- Metal: Any strong and relatively ductile substance that provides
electropositive ions to a corrosive environment and that can be
polished to a high luster. Metals are characterized by metallic
atomic bonding.
- Alloy:
- Alloy: A mixture of two or more metals or metalloids* that are
mutually soluble in the molten state.
Alloying elements** are
added to alter the hardness, strength, and toughness of a metallic
element, thus obtaining properties not found in a pure metal
