Quiz 1: Lecture 1+ 2 Flashcards
What is enamel made up of?
Rods and Interrods.
***Rod sheath= narrow space around 3/4 of each rod Keyhole shape
What is Intertubular dentin?
Structural component of the hydroxyapatite-embedded collagen matrix- bulk of the dentin
What is Peritubular dentin?
Limited to the lining of the tubular walls- little organic matrix densely packed w/ apatite crystals
What is the strongest and simplest bond within atoms?
Covalent;
Example 2 H+ bonds overlapping
What is the Biological type of properties for materials?
toxicity and sensitivity reactions that occur locally or systemically within associated tissues.
What is surface energy ?
A LOW surface energy liquid will readily spread over a HIGH surface energy substance
What is Wetability?
The measure of the affinity of a liquid for a solid as indicated by the spreading of a drop
What is Adsorption?
Dissilimar substance in intimate contact with the surface of a solid= adhere
**HIGH energy surfaces will adsorb molecules more readily than LOW energy surfaces
What is Absorption?
The uptake of a liquid by a bulk solid. The substance absorbed diffuses into the solid material
Describe the Biocompatibility usage test?
Material is placed in a situation identical to its intended clinical use. In animals or humans (clinical trials)
What is Microleakage?
Materials may not bond with sufficient strength to resist contraction on polymerization, wear, thermal cycling
What does the gap between the tooth and restoration allow?
Allows influx of materials that may irrigate the pulp
Acids used to remove smear layer are potential source of irritation.. Depends on:
1) ****Remaining Dental Thickness (RDT) - 0.5mm min
2) Strength of the acid
3) Degree of etching
How is stress measured?
The force & the area to which it is applied are measured and stress is calculated from the
RATIO OF FORCE PER AREA* (F/A)
What are the types of stress? Specifically Tension?
**Elongation!
Forces are directed away from each other in the same straight line
(Axial- Molecules resist being pulled apart)
What is Compression force?
***Shrinkage!
Forces directed toward each other in the same straight line
(Molec. resist being forced more closely together)
What is a Shear force?
Forces directed parallel to each other **NOT along the same straight line
(One portion resists sliding past the other)
What is a Torsion force?
Twisting forces
