Study These Flashcards
A

resin viscosity increase

low levels of filler

24
Q

True or False: Increased filler volume is the same as increased filler size.

25
Increased filler volume will increase ______ and ____.
strength and viscosity
26
Increased filler size will increase _____.
surface roughness
27
Increased filler size will decrease _____.
shrinkage
28
What are two types of fillers?
silicate glass | colloidal silica
29
Which filler is larger, silicate glass or colloidal silica?
silicate glass | collo-idal is lid-al
30
Filler amount for hybrid dental composite is _____ % weight.
75-80
31
Which type of filler leaves the roughest surface?
Macrofill
32
Which type of filler is conventionally used?
midifill
33
What are the two types of fatigue that are evaluated for composites?
surface contact | flexural
34
True or False: Increased particle size results in increased size of wear facets.
True
35
Rank the visual opacity of the nanocomposites: Microfill vs FST vs Hybrid.
``` Most Translucent: . . FST (Filtek Supreme Translucent) Microfill Hybrid . . Most Opaque ```
36
What is the problem with nanofillers in Glass Ionomer cements?
increased surface area leads to rapid setting and higher viscosity
37
What type of resin and glass is in Ketac Nano?
methacrylate resin AlFSiO glass (ketAC....methaAC....Nano...small like an Elf...AlF-SiO)
38
True or False: Ketac Nano has an independent acid-base setting reaction which makes it a GI cement.
False! does not have an acid base setting reatction and is not really a GI cement
39
What makes RMGI different from compomers/composites?
``` GI = acid-base reaction which is independent of light cure Composites = require visible light to cure ```
40
True or False: The fear of nanotoxicity from dental materials is justified.
False, no clinical data or studies
41
True or False: Nanoparticles are known to be hazardous to the cardiovascular system.
True
42
True or False: studies confirmed that there is no conclusive human risk from nanoparticles in dental composites.
True
43
What are functional nanofillers?
adding nanoparticles that will release ions such as calcium, phosphate, and fluoride to aid in remineralization or silver for antibacterial properties
44
What are whisker composites?
whiskers are SiN fibers that are created through fusion of silica particles and used in visible light cured systems
45
True or False: Whiskers have high strength compared to silica.
True
46
True or False: Whiskers have better crack stopping properties
True, aspect ratio makes it difficult for cracks to propagate
47
Functional whiskers contain added ____- nanoparticles that will dissolve quickly and leave voids.
Calcium Phosphate (CaPO4)
48
What is POSS?

reinforcement
50
POSS showed evidence of ____ at higher loading levels.
aggregation
51
