25
dental cements
holds the crown onto a prepped tooth and fills the microscopic gaps between the tooth and the crown. Cements must flow like a liquid so the crown will fit. Cement is strong and insoluble in oral fluids.
26
base
implies a degree of strength and thermal insulation. It has greater bulk which serves to restore part of the missing tooth and provide thermal insulation.
27
liner
a relatively thin layer of material painted on to protect the underlying dentin from chemical irritation.
28
temporary materials
temporary crowns and restorations
29
preventative materials
pit and fissure sealants, mouthguards, fluoride trays
30
direct restorative materials
placed in the cavity preparation that was drilled by the dentist.
31
indirect restorative materials
fabricated outside of the mouth. They are made on a replica of the patient’s oral tissues.
32
gases
atomic bonds between gas molecules are very weak
33
liquids
strong attraction between molecules but not strong enough to carry a load or maintain shape without support
34
solids
crystalline solids have a consistent spatial relationship of atoms or molecules repeated hundreds to thousand to millions of time = long-range order
35
amorphous solids
have strong atomic bonds present in crystalline materials but have a short-range order. Glass in a window or dental mirror is an amorphous solid.
36
metals
Gold, ductile- bent easily without breaking and retains strength)
37
ceramics
Dishes, glass, ceramic materials (crowns) are strong when compressed – the atoms are forced together. However, they can be weak and brittle if pulled or bent)
38
polymers
Plastics, weak; resins, hard Moldable polymers – bleaching or fluoride trays
39
composites
Made up of two or more different materials. (Fiberglass)
40
enamel
Composite of apatite, (a ceramic material and a protein (a polymer)
41
Thermal conductivity
Rate of heat flow through a material Measured as heat flow over time
42
Thermal conductivity depends on
Distance heat travels Area in which heat travels Temperature difference between source and destination
43
pulpal sensitivity is likely if
conductive materials (metals) placed close to the pulp. If caries are deep and a metal restoration is used, an insulating base is placed beneath the metal filling to insulate the pulp from hot and cold stimuli.
44
heat of fusion
amount of energy required to melt a material
45
Coefficient of thermal expansion
Measure of the change in volume in relation to the change in temperature
46
percolation
Opening and closing of the gap between tooth structure and a restoration due to differences in coefficients of thermal expansion
47
electric conductivity
-Good electrical conductors Metals -Poor electrical conductors (insulators) Polymers Ceramics
48
galvanic shock
electricity flowing through a metal object (fork) to the amalgam and through the pulp
49
viscosity
ability of a material to flow, temperature dependent
50
High viscosity
high-contact angle- poor wetting
51
low viscosity
low contact angle- good wetting
52
wetting
a surface with an adhesive material like a sealant, brings the material into intimate association with the surface so that the chemical and micromechanical bonding can occur.
53
radiolucent
some ceramic materials, denture acrylic resin
54
radiopaque
metal restorations
55
hardness
a property that is measured by scientific instruments that press a special tip into the surface of the test material
56
abrasion resistance
resistance of dental restorations to food, opposing teeth, and other dental materials
57
solubility
ability to dissolve in water
58
water sorption
materials that absorb water
59
strain
is the change in length divided by the original length
60
stress
the load or the force divided by the cross sectional area of the object
61
compression
is pushing or crushing stress
62
tension
a pulling stress
63
shear
slip stress occurs when parts of an object slide by one another
64
torsion
stress is a twisting force
65
bending
common stress and is actually a combination of several types of stresses
66
creep
small movement of amalgam overtime caused by the compression, temperature, and more
67
stress relaxation
slow decrease in force overtime causing a change in shape
68
stress concentration
stress increase around defects
69
IRM
intermediate restorative material
70
uses for IRM
Cement a temporary crown while permanent one is being made Create insulating base under permanent restorations Provide sedative or obtundent (soothing agent) filling for sensitive teeth It is used as an Insulating base! Protect the pulp from thermal trauma
71
Zinc Oxide-eugenol
organic liquid that is weak acid, component of oil of clove, phenol derivative and is antibacterial and obtudent (reduces irritation) to the pulp
72
zinc Phosphate cement
zinc oxide powder mixed with phosphoric acid -consistency is determined by use luting or base -luting- mix will be string like 1inch between spatula and slab -base- thick putty like consistency **cooled glass slab incremental mixing EXOTHERMIC
73
Glass ionomer 3 forms
powder and liquid, premeasured capsule, paste
74
glass ionomer use
most widely used, least soluble, used as luting, base, liner, core build up **FL releasing** bonds to teeth
75
Polycarboxylate (Durelon)
consistency determines use luting or base -not very strong
76
Calcium hydroxide (Dycal)
secondary or reparative dentin - Paste/paste system -liner and base- used when micro pulp exposure is expected, direct pulp cap -Setting reaction of calcium hydroxide is accelerated by water, moisture in dentin is sufficient to cause material to set in seconds of application
77
Temporary cement (Rely-X)
-Two paste system -temp indirect (lab made) -restorations- inlays, onlays, crowns, bridges
