Week 6- biomaterials Flashcards
silicate glass particles
provide mechanical reinforcement of the mixture (reinforces fillers)
produce light transmission and scattering
how does composite get its enamel like translucency?
silicate glass particles
composite is a mixture of:
silicate glass particles and acrylic monomer that is polymerized during application
how are composite parts chosen?
with purpose of averaging properties of the different parts
results in intermediate properties
composites are typically a dispersed phase of ______ distributed within _________
filler particles distributed within continuous matrix phase
matrix phase of composite
(acrylic monomer?)
least desirable
transiently fluid during application/manipulation
minimizing matrix = more desirable composite
categories of material properties
physical
mechanical
chemical
biologic
examples of physical properties
mass thermal electrical optical surface
examples of mechanical properties
stress/strain relationship
examples of chemical properties
chemical and electrochemical interactions
4 categories of materials
metals
ceramics
polymers
composites
why do we need bonding agent?
flow of uncured composite is limited
bonding systems are made up of:
unfilled acrylic monomer mixture (similar to composite) placed on etch surface of tooth to make thin film
purpose of bonding system
micromechanical interlocking with etched surface
seals prep walls
co-polymerizes with composite
true/false? many dental tissues are composites
true
Methyl methacrylate monomer problems
contracts excessively
marginal leakage
PMMA problems
not strong enough for occlusal loads
difunctional monomers:
BIS-GMA and UDMA
BIS-GMA and UDMA
extremely viscous
difunctional monomers
need to be diluted
dilution of difunctional monomers BIS-GMA and UDMA
TEGDMA, low viscosity
modification of filler components
ions to make glass easier to crush = small particles
ions to produce filler radiopacity
Pure silica can be ______ or ______. _______ is stronger but harder to finish and polish
crystalline or noncrystalline
crystalline is stronger but harder to finish
what controls fluidity?
friction between filler particle surfaces and monomer
as filler surface area increases, fluidity:
decreases
larger filler = ______ surface area = _____ fluidity
less surface area
= increased fluidity
filler particles with 1/10th diameter (smaller) ______ surface area by
increase factor of 10
microfiller particles with silicon dioxide (SiO2)
tend to agglomerate into chains
a given material that is used must allow for what steps
gross cutting (grinding) fine cutting (finishing) smoothing (polishing)
cannot be too hard (crystalline)
filler particle size has a direct effect on:
surface roughness of ground, finished, or polished composite
effectiveness of restoration finishing and polishing depends on:
use of successively finer abrasive materials
composite classification
- filler content, particle size, method of filler addition**
- matrix composition
- polymerization method
important qualities of composites are improved by:
using higher filler levels
disadvantage - decreased fluidity
composite filler particles
macrofillers midifillers minifillers microfillers nanofillers
drawback of using small filler particles
compromises amount of filler you can use due to increased SA
flowable composites (first generation)
low-viscosity
reduced filler content
allows increased resin to DECREASE viscosity of mixture
second generation flowable composite
properties resemble traditional composite
lower filler content (first generation) flowable used for
pit and fissure sealants
small anterior restorations
higher filler content (second generation) flowable used for
class I-V restorations
first increment during composite restoration
repair resin for margins and non-occluding surfaces
best suited for conservative restorations
true/false? packable composite is comparable to amalgam in that it undergoes condensation
false; does not undergo condensation
packable composite
"condensable composites" handling characteristics similar to amalgam intended for class I and II restorations less sticky, high viscosity do not undergo condensation
microfill and hybrid composites usually use _______ as microfillers
Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)
Colloidal silica
chemically precipitated from liquid soln as amorphous silica
Pyrogenic silica
precipitated from gaseous phase as amorphous silica
matrix monomers in USA usually based on _______ as primary monomer
BIS-GMA
light intensity can be inadequate if composite exceeds
1.5-2mm
light curing methods
Quartz Tungsten Halogen (QTH) curing units
Plasma arc curing (PAC) lights
Lasers
LED curing units
photoinitiator of composites
camphoroquinone
camphoroquinone MOA
