Resin Composites 1 Flashcards
What are Silicates
earliest tooth coloured restorative material
what si the reaction to get a silicate
acid base reaction (=salt and water) between
aluminosilicate glass and phosphoric acid
what are some properties of silicate
releases fluoride
moisture resist
erosion prone
brittle
what do acrylics come as
powder:liquid
what is the setting reaction for acrylics
free radical addition polymerisation chemical set so working time limited
what is the power used to make acrylics
Pmma beads
chemical initiator
pigment
what si the liquid used in acrylics
Mma monomer chemical activator (tertiary amine)
What are the steps assc with the free radical addition polymerisation recation
activation
initiation
propagation
termination
how does termination of free radical addition polymerisation come about
attatch to impurity/free radical or further growing chain
what happens to the material when polymerisation takes place
contracts
exothermic
what happens when tertiary mania not all used up
poor colour stability (clear-brown)
what are acrylics like compared to silicate
less prone to erosion less soluble less brittle less acidic lower thermal diffusely
how can acrylics irritate the pulp
due to residual Mma
interaction with eugenol
what was introduced to acrylics to reduce the shrinkage
inert filler particles to reduce shrinkage
what does a basic composite contain
BIS GMA matrix
coupling agent
filler particles
what is a resin composite
combination of two comically different materials have props together couldn’t alone
