Question | Answer |
---|---|
_____ is the deterioration of a metal by a chemical or electrochemical reaction | corrosion |
what material is MOST OFTEN used for a temporary restoration? | ZOE |
If excess cement is not removed from in and around the gingival margin and sulcus of the tooth, the cement can: | irritate the area and cause inflammation and discomfort |
An undermixed dental amalgam will appear: | grainy |
Amalgam has been popular for the restoration of carious teeth because | It is more economical than composites It has excellent physical properties It is easy to manipulate |
The dental assistant may have the responsibility of placing the mixed cement in a crown. The cement should be loaded | so that a thin layer lines all the walls of the crown |
what cement undergoes an exothermic reaction during mixing? | Zinc Phosphate |
An) _____ is defined as a mixture of two or more metals. | alloy |
Intermediate restorative material (IRM) is a | Zinc Oxide Eugenol Cement |
What would be the material of choice as an insulating base as well as a sedative base? | Zinc Oxide Eugenol |
Because ZOE has a neutral pH of 7 and contains eugenol, it is ____ to the pulp | Obtunding |
A properly mixed amalgam should appear | As a homogenous mass with slight shine |
Dental amalgam primarily consists of _____. | mercury, silver, copper, and tin |
Protective bases are placed when it is necessary to protect the pulp before the restoration is placed, because without this protection there may be: | postoperative sensitivity and damage to the pulp. |
_____ is added to dental amalgam alloy powder to suppress oxidation | zinc |
What is the most important rule to follow when preparing dental cements | Follow the manufacturer's directions |
Solid materials are able to maintain their shape and resist external forces. | true |
The type of stress caused to teeth when biting a hard object, such as a piece of hard candy... | compression |
The atomic bonding of liquids is stronger than that of gases but weaker than that of solids. | true |
it is important to understand dental materials biocompatibility to: | Reduce the chance of pain after the placement of a composite restoration Reduce the chance of toxicity Reduce the chance of irritation to the patients gingiva |
Metallic bonds have the _______ bond compared to ionic bonds and covalent bonds; because of the free movement of ____, metallic bonds conduct heat and electricity | strongest;electrons |
The ability to transfer an electric current between two dissimilar metals is called___________. | Galvinism |
When a materials deformation is not permanent and recovers it is considered to have good.... | Elasticity |
The ingestion of cold and hot fluids and food can cause repeated expansion and shrinkage of a restoration; producing the opening and closing of a gap between the tooth surface and the restoration. This is called _____________. | Percolation |
The mechanical property of ____ refers to the weight or load applied to an object. | force |
The basic atom contains protons and electrons within the nucleus and neutrons in orbit around the nucleus | false |
The ability of a material to dissolve in a liquid refers to: | solubility |
_______ is the deterioration of a metal by a chemical or electrochemical reaction. | Corrosion |
______________ is directly related to the breakdown of most restorative materials. | moisture, acid, and stress |
If light will pass directly through an object it will be considered: | transparent |
In dental materials , most materials combine two components consisting of a ________ and ________to form a resulting material. | Catalyst;Base |
The uncured layer of resin on the surface of bonding agents and composites that allows for additional material to be added without the need for additional etching refers to the | Oxygen Inhibited Layer |
Enamel bonding is not as strong as dentinal bonding | true |
Enamel bonding is achieved by micromechanical retention | false |
Enamel bonding is achieved by resin tags penetration porosities in the enamel and by locking into surface roughness | false |
Enamel bonding is simpler than bonding to dentin. | false |
Composite resins are often classified according to their | Filler Particle Size |
The bonding agent within a composite is | Silane Coupling Agent |
The acid used most commonly to etch tooth structure for bonding procedures is | Phosphoric |
The conventional or traditional composites, which contain the largest filler particles and provide the greatest strength, are known as _____ composites | Macrofilled |
__________ is the excess material that remains on the occlusal margin, sometimes described as feather like? | flash |
The layer of debris (tooth structure, blood, saliva, etc.), similar to sawdust, created when preparing a tooth is referred to as the ______. | Smear Layer |
The polymerization shrinkage of a composite | Can be minimized by placing and curing composite in small increments |
The purpose of the silane coupling agent for composite resins is | To improve the bond between the filler particles and the resin matrix |
