Resin Composites 1 Flashcards
what is a silicates
earliest form tooth coloured restorative
what makes a silicate
product of acid base reaction = salt + water between
aluminosilicate glas
phosphoric acid
what does silicate release
fluoride
what are some features of silicate
moisture sensitive
erosion prone
brittle
what are acrylics used fro
make dentures
what are acrylics dept on
P:L mixing raio crucial
what does chemical setting mean
woking time is limited
what si the powder used to make acrylics
Pmma beads no greater than 50 Um
- chemical initiator
- peroxide
- pigment
what si the liquid used in making acrylics
Mme monomer
chem activator
tertiary amine
what is he setting reaction
free radical addition polymerisation
what can cause a yellow tinge after time in acrylics
leftover tertiary amine in system
how does the size of the Pmma beads in acrylic affect reaction
tiny beads - accelerate reaction
large - retard set
size affects how light scatters off material
what are the sub parts of the free radial addition polymerisation
activation
initiation
propagation
termination
what si the activation
benzoyl peroxide cleaved by heat to sp temp
add tertiary amine
what is the initiation
when in contact with active species will link up form this
free bonds wan to grow and link similar mols
what is the propagation
ends of chain ahem free ends continue to add
what is termination
when chain attaches to impurity/ free radical or father growing chinas
what happens to the material with polyemridataion
material contracts
- may = gaps
is the poly exo or endothermic
exothermic
what re acrylics like compared to silicates
less
- prone to erosion
- soluble
- acidic
- brittle
what do acrylics exhibit
lower thermal diffusity
- can tolerate hot or cold pulpal sensitivity
what does eugenol do in contact with acrylics
impairs polymeirsation
