Q

Zinc in amalgams

A

If zinc is present and greater than 0.01% in amalgam, it is called zinc-containing amalgam. If the content is less, it is called non-zinc containing amalgam.
-Acts as a deoxidizer
-Zinc may increase the clinical life expectancy over amalgam that does not contain zinc.

Q

Classification of dental amalgams based on copper content

A

-Low Copper alloy (2-6%)– traditional or historical composition. Approximately 65% silver; 25% tin, and less than 6% copper, with 1% zinc.
-High Copper alloy (10-30%)– clinical performance superior. Currently high-copper amalgams dominate the dental market.
(Increasing the copper content reduces the percentage of the weakest phase of the dental amalgam.)

A

Is a slow and progressive change in shape caused by compression.

Q

Tooth prep for glass ionomer

A

Tooth is prepared with a weak acid (10% polyacrylic). Doesn’t remove calcium.
Powder and liquid combined – the acid attacks the glass, giving off calcium, aluminum, sodium, and fluoride
Calcium and aluminum cross-link the polyacrylic acid chains to form a hard resin matrix
Carboxyl groups from the acid combine with calcium on the tooth surface, creating a chemical bond between the tooth and the glass ionomer
Initial set is quick, takes 24 hours for final set

A

long chains of covalently bonded carbon atoms

68

A

similar to covalent, valence electrons are shared between atoms. Difference is that electrons in a metal object are not shared by two atoms–they are shared by all the atoms that make up that object. Positive cores surrounded by electron cloud

69
Q

van der Waals forces

A

secondary bonds, result of partial charge from an uneven distribution of electrons around an atom or molecule. Secondary bonds are important in polymers because they determine the interaction of the polymer chains and the properties of the polymer itself.

70
Q

Permanent dipoles

A

shared electrons not shared equally. Some atoms greedy. Creates one atom in the bond becoming partially positive and the other partially negative. Charged. ex. the interaction of partial charges reduces the slippage of carbon chains by one another in molecules of PVC, creates strong stiff plastic. When dipoles are smaller, material is weaker and less stiff (polyethylene plastic wrap)

71
Q

Hydrogen bonds

A

special kind of STRONG permanent dipole. H contains only one electron. When pulled away to a greedy atom like Oxygen, it creates a much stronger bond because the H is left unshielded.

72
Q

Fluctuating Dipole

A

intermittent, uneven distribution of electrons around the atoms or molecules. Lasts short time and is always changing, very weak attraction. Ex. Noble gasses have no charge distribution and no dipole so electrons move around willy nilly.

73
Q

Secondary bonds

A

result of uneven electron distribution around atoms, the more uneven the distribution, the stronger the charge attraction and bond. Include permanent dipoles, hydrogen bonds, and fluctuating dipoles

Q

Compression

A

pushing or crushing stress

121
Q

Tension

A

pulling stress

122
Q

Shear

A

(slip) sliding by one another

123
Q

Torsion

A

twisting stress

124
Q

Bending

A

combo, one side is compressed and the other is stretched. shear forces also occur inside.

125
Q

Poisson’s ratio

A

ratio of strain in the direction of the stress to the strain in a direction perpendicular to the stress. As you bite on a filling, it will compress smaller down and expand wider in the sideways MDFL dimensions.

126
Q

Resilience

A

ability to absorb energy and not become deformed

127
Q

Toughness

A

failure point on the stress-strain diagram

128
Q

Fracture toughness

A

energy required to fracture a material when a crack is present

129
Q

Which property is the best predictor of clinical success?

A

fracture toughnesss

130
Q

Fatigue

A

failure after being stressed repeatedly over time

131
Q

stress relaxation

A

slow decrease in force over time when material stretched to a constant state. the pull of a rubber band decreasing over time. Happens with ortho elastic and rubber bands so they need to change them often.

132
Q

stress concentration

A

stress increases around defects and fracture becomes more likely.

133
Q

yield strength

A

the point where the object will no longer return to original shape, stress and strain will no longer be proportional and graph will start curving

134
Q

Because the mouth is a warm and environment, most materials will set ______ than on the countertop except for ones set by cooling or light activated materials

A

faster. If a material is set on a tray, it is set in the mouth already.

135
Q

Some materials are accelerated by humidity of the mouth

A

true

136
Q

Dispense equal _____ of pasts

A

lengths, not volumes

137
Q

T or F after mixing alginate your arm should be tired

A

yes, mix aggressively

138
Q

When mixing cements force the ____ into the _____

A

force the powder into the liquid

139
Q

thermoplastic polymers

A

can be remelted and reprocessed after polymerization, similar to wax

140
Q

thermoset polymers

A

cannot be heat and molded so they must be in the final shape when the polymerization reaction occurs. MOST DENTAL RESINS are cross linked thermoset polymers

141
Q

Most dental resins are cross linked thermoset polymers

A

true

142
Q

Acrylic resins

A

used as pink denture base, and anterior filling material but now obsolete due to recurrent decay susceptibility

143
Q

Functional group

A

part of the molecule responsible for it’s chemical properties

144
Q

Monomers

A

(functional group) molecules with a reactive group that participates in the polymerization reaction

145
Q

Free radical polymerization or addition polymerization

A

chemical reaction of acrylic resins, an unpaired electron (free radical) is involved in the reaction. One monomer at a time is added to the polymer chain as the reaction proceeds.

146
Q

Polymerization activation

A

initiator molecule can become activated by heat, light, or chemical reaction.
