high.

64
Q

what is the usual particle size of amalgam?

A

65
Q

what happens if your amalgam contains smaller particles?

Q

whats the galvanic reaction?

A

sense of a “current” or shock between dissimilar metallic restorations

74
Q

amalgam is stronger than dentin and enamel. Its strength is determined by….

A

amalgam

78

what were the composites made out of in the early 20th centurty and why were the problematic?

A

Silicate glass with alumina (Al2O3) & H3PO4,

marginal discoloration & they were soluble.

86

90
Q

who recieved the lifetime achievment award for bettering composites?

A

Dr. Ray L. Bowen

91
Q

What are the components of light cured composites?

camphorquinone (CQ), phenylpropanedione (PPD)

lucirin (TPO)

93
Q

Purpose of fillers

A

Reinforce resin, reduce shrinkage, improve esthetics, increase radiopacity.

94
Q

silicon dioxide is a filler. what else is silicon dioxide known as?

A

silica, SiO2, ( it is not silicone) it adds resistance and radiopacity

Titania, tin oxide, iron oxide

TiO2, SnO2, Fe2O3

96
Q

what do prepolymerized polymers do as fillers?

A

reduce shrinkage

97
Q

what makes materials radiopaque?

A

high atomic weight ( you want it to be heavier than Ca)

98
Q

what are coupling agents used for?

A

it sticks the resin to the glass, (organosilanes are major ones)
W/o these composites wear fast.

99
Q

what are the steps for composites?

A

100
Q

factors of etching include…(mechanical adhesion)

A

time, % of acid in etch (35-37%), Fluoride content in tooth.

102
Q

What ways do composites cure?

A

chemical, light, dual cure

103
Q

does the curing light emite uv rays?

A

no its blue light.

104
Q

what disks do we use to polish composite?

A

alumina disk

105
Q

what are disadvantages of composites?

A

needs bonding, shrinkage, lower strength, discoloration ar margins over time, expensive, shades vary among manufactures

106
Q

why should degree of cureing be high? (DC)

A

higher strength, higher wear resistance, and less cytotoxicity

107
Q

what is the DC/degree of conversion of monomers to polymers of composite?

A

50-60%

108
Q

what does DC depend on?

A

Resin composition, access of curing light to composite, layer thickness, duration of cure, lamp used,

109
Q

why are secondary caries an issue with composites?

A

due to the shrinkage around the margins. Bacteria like to attack here

110
Q

BPA issues in composites

A

alot of composites have them to some degree, once composite sets up the chance of BPA to enter blood stream decreases aton.

111
Q

how could composites be better?

A

shrink less, wear better, seal margins better
