- ________ Appearance
- Stable and ________
- Ease
- Oral Health
- Esthetic
- Durable
A Resin-based restorative material (filled polymer) is formed by the combination of ______ + ______+ _______.
Monomer
Filler
Active Initiator
What is “translucency Parameter” or how is it determined/measured?
Comparing the color difference of material when it is held up to a black backing vs when held up to a white backing.
A positive quality of resin-based restorative materials is that they are _____ and _____ insulating.
Thermally
Electrically
A disadvantage of resin-based restorative materials is the _______ reaction during polymerization.
Exothermic
There is a ______ coefficient of thermal expansion on heating and a polymerization _______ during cooling associated with resin-based restorative materials.
High
Shrinkage
Do resin-based restorative materials have a high or low toughness?
Low
For ideal restorative materials, there must be a balance between which three properties?
Physical, Chemical, and Biological
What is the difference between thermoplastic and thermoset polymers?
Thermoplastic: NO CROSS-LINKING, the physical state is REVERSIBLY controlled by temperature (i.e: Wax)
Thermoset: IRREVERSIBLE CROSS-LINKING occurs during transformation from monomer to polymer
What is the difference between a polymer and a co-polymer?
Polymer: Formed from many monomers (same kind)
Co-Polymer: Formed from many monomers (of at least two types of monomer)
What is a monomer?
A molecule capable of covalent bonding with another monomer.
What is the difference between addition and condensation polymerization?
Addition: No By-products (free radical, ring opening, ionic)
Condensation: Results in a by-product
Most current dental restorative resins are formed by which mechanism of polymerization?
Free-Radical polymerization (type of Addition)
During free-radical polymerization, there is a change from liquid/paste into a solid that results in the _______ of advantageous final properties.
Increase
True or False: A negative aspect of free-radical polymerization is that it causes the material to heat up.
True
During free-radical polymerization, the density ______ and causes a volumetric __________ that can be offset if porosity is created.
Increases
Contraction
What are the chemical stages of Polymerization?
- Activation of the initiator
- Activation of the monomer
- Polymer growth
- Termination
By what three methods can the initiator be activated?
Heat, Light, or Chemical
Which method of initiator activation is the most efficient?
Heat:
- it is uniform
- gives a large working time
What are three disadvantages of heat activation?
- Requires mixing of initiator and monomer
- Requires heat equipment
- Excessive heat causes porosity
Which two methods for activating the initiator require that chemical activator and monomer be mixed?
Heat and Chemical Require mixing
light activation material is pre-mixed by manufacturer
In ______ activation, the working time is fixed by the ingredients.
Chemical
In ______ activation, the working time is practically infinite.
Light
In _______ activation, the ingredients can be mixed by the manufacturer.
Light
