measured as gloss or percent reflection
Reflection
measured as percentage for every wavelength
Absorbtion, Transmission
change in direction of light due to a change in medium
Refraction
light reflection in all directions
Scattering
prevents passage of light
Opaque
allows passage of light with little distortion
Transparent
permits passage of light but disperses the light so that objects cannot be seen through
Translucent
Color System: Wavelength
Hue
Color System: Value
Black and white
Color System: Chroma
Purity/ Saturation
transmission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or other radiation
Fluorescence
the force of attraction exerted on surface molecules of a liquid by the molecules beneath the surface
Surface tension
atoms on solid surfaces have higher energy than the atoms in the bulk of a material
Surface Energy
The adhesion of a molecule to a surface
Adsorption
Involves the substance diffuses into the solid material
Absorption
Hydrophillic, Low surface energy
Good Wetting
Hydrophobic, High Surface energy
Poor Wetting
Bonding agents and cements, Impression material need what type of wetting
Good Wetting- to replicate surface texture
Composite restorations, crown materials, denture bases need what type of wetting
Poor Wetting- Repel bacteria and hinder biofilm formation
Two metals that have high thermal conductivity
Gold, Copper
The metal that has the lowest thermal conductivity
Amalgam
Three non metals with low thermal conductivity
Gypsum, Porcelin, Composite Resin
why do dental ceramics not use Koalin?
Because it adds opaque character and teeth are naturally fluourecent
Consequences of metallic bonding?
is more thermally conductive
