Lecture 2 Flashcards
- Looks good
- Functions properly
- Longevity
Patient satisfaction
-goal of dental material
Do models have limitations?
Yes
contact angle
used to measure how liquid
interacts with solid
Measure
Cannot Know Everything About a Given Material
or System
Models
- Unfilled diluted resins
- Self or light cured
- Clear or opaque
- Radiopaque
Sealants
Anticipated on the basis of the Hydrophobicity (water-hating) and hydrophilicity (water loving) of materials
Wetting
Allow penetration into areas with water
Hydrophilic primers
Solvent that hydrophllic primers are mixed with
Alcohol or acetone
Viscosity of hydrophilic primers
Low
Allows for attatchment to composite
Hydrophilic primers
Will wet hydrophlic surfaces
Hydrophlic chemicals
Important anytime two different materials come into contact
Surface wetting
Important in impression materials, adhesives and bacterial adhesions
Surface wetting
involve changes in the primary and secondary
bonding of the material
Chemical properties
generally affected by chemical and
electro chemical reactions
Primary bonding
generally affected by processes
such as adsorption (onto) and absorption (into)
Secondary bonding
The spontaneous destructive oxidation of metals
Corrosion
Do all metals corrode?
Yes
Copper roofs turn
green
What color do amalgam filling turn over time?
black
Designed to minimize corrosion
Gold alloys
recently deemed a noble metal ADA
Titanium
Desirable for ceramic to metal bonding
Metal oxides (ceramics)
Metal corrosion that leads to destruction
Active
Gamma 2
Metal corrosion that produces corrosion film that prevents further corrosion
Passive
Titanium implants
Metal corrosion of noble metals
Immune
gold
