Test 3 Flashcards
what decides the shape of the prep
the material you are going to fill it with
what is composite resin made out of
powdered glass and epoxy-like materials
what is the difference between amalgam and composite in the way it fits in tooth
composite actually binds to tooth where as amalgam just sits in the hole
blue light is damaging to? what is more succeptible
eye, younger eyes
the matrix phase of a composite consists of ?
liquid resin (dimethacrylate)
the dispersed phase of composite consists of ?
the glass rocks (filler and tints)
what is the third step to forming a composite, what is this
polymerization initiators , light
the coupling phase of composite consists of what
silanes, makes glass more bondable in tooth
the ability to polish a composite increases with
the decrease in size of filler (glass rocks)
what improves as the rocks get smaller
the resistance to wear improves
The mechanical and physical properties do what in proportion to the volume of filler added.
improve
what is the wavelength of the blue light and what is the minimum intensity
475 nm 400 mW/cm2
all composites do what over time and cause what
shrink and cause stresses
what is composites coefficient of thermal expansion
high
composites are not usually done past what depth without layering
2 mm
base of typical posterior composite is what depth
5 mm
what does the air inhibited layer allow for
allows next layer of composite to stick to the previous
is ratio of bonded to un-bonded walls is called
c- factor
the c factor needs to be kept ?
low
a class one prep has what c factor
5
a class two prep has what c factor
2
class three and four preps have what c factor
1
what can you never do to a composite
over cure it
how long do you hold the light on a composite, especially the bottom layer
40 sec
Must be available in sufficient number of shades and degrees of translucency. True or false (anterior or posterior)
True anterior
Capable of being readily polished to a lustrous finish. True or false (anterior or posterior)
True anterior
Color stability must be good, Should have sufficient strength to resist
the forces of occlusion True or false (anterior or posterior)
True anterior
Easy to adapt to the tooth cavity and contour to shape True or false (anterior or posterior)
True anterior
Should be strong enough to prevent bulk fracture
True or false (anterior or posterior)
True posterior
Must not be sensitive to long term marginal breakdown. Should have a low polymerization shrinkage.True or false (anterior or posterior)
True posterior
