Q

4 components of amalgam and their purpose/%

A

Silver: 40-70%, strength
Tin: 26-30%, decrease expansion
Copper: 2-30%, strengthen, corrosion resist, less creep

Q

How are plastic deformation and elasticity related?

A

Plastic deformation occurs when the force applied to a material causes strain that is greater than the material’s elastic modulus.

26
Capping weak cusps when the margin exceeds 2/3 distance between groove and cusp is called a ___________.
Resistance form
27
Slightly rounded corners/line angles and a flat floor are examples of ___________.
Resistance form
28
Sufficient thickness of a prep/restoration is an example of ____________. amalgam 1.5+ mm gold 1-2 mm porcelain 2 mm
Resistance form
29
Bevels that remove unsupported enamel and reduce stress concentrations are examples of _______
resistance form
30
Wall length, convergence (for amalgam), and parallelism are examples of __________.
Retention form
31
What pH demineralizes enamel?
pH 5.5 and below
32
What pH demineralizes dentin?
pH 6.5 and below
33
What happens to pH after a sugar exposure?
pH remains below 5.5 for 20-60 minutes
34
Where do caries spread/advance most rapidly?
root surface because structure is softer there
35
What do sealants do/what caries do they prevent?
# Fill in pits and fissures (prevent strep mutans from colonizing). ** Once colonized, carious lesion in 6-24 months.**
36
What is the most common form of caries in young patients with permanent dentition?
Smooth surface?

40
What is a Class III?
proximal surfaces of incisors and canines (WITHOUT the incisal edge)
41
What is a Class IV?
proximal surfaces of incisors and canines that DO INCLUDE the incisal edge
42
What is a Class V?
gingival 1/3 of smooth surfaces
43
What is a Class VI?
incisal edge or cusp
44
What are the two salivary enzymes?
Amylase: starches | Lingual lipase: lipids
45
What is ptyalin?
salivary amylase
46
Are direct pulp caps more successful around pulp horns or along an axial wall?
pulp horns
47
When is a Tofflemire matrix band needed?
Class 2 restorations
48
When is the Palodent system most useful?
small composite restorations
49

51
When energy goes into changing the shape of some material and it stays changed, that is said to be ________________.
plastic deformation
52
When energy goes into changing the shape of some material and the material goes back to its original form, that is __________________.
elastic deformation
53
Mechanical energy is lost whenever an object undergoes ___________________.
plastic deformation.
