Indirect restorations

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Indirect restoration   A restoration constructed outside the mouth in a laboratory  
🗑
Alloy   Combination of pure metal and one or more other elements  
🗑
Pure metal   Only a single metal  
🗑
All metals are --------and possess high thermal and electrical conductivity, ductility, opacity and luster.   crystalline  
🗑
What is a crystalline property?   A regular order or arrangement of atoms  
🗑
Metals: Requirements for dental materials:   *Strong and hard enough to withstand occlusal forces, biologically compatible, high resistance to corrosion and tarnish, can be relatively easily cast into complicated shapes  
🗑
Noble/Precious metals:   Gold, platinum, palladium, Iridium, Ruthenium, Niobium, Osmium  
🗑
Why don't we use pure gold (24 K)?   It is not strong enough to withstand chewing stresses, and it is the most conductive material in restorative dentistry.  
🗑
What does copper do?   Increases strength and hardness  
🗑
What does platinum do?   Protects against tarnish and corrosion  
🗑
What does silver do?   tones down the red in Cu. It is not stable in the oral enviroment unless alloyed with platinum or palladium.  
🗑
What does palladium do?   Increases tarnish resistance.  
🗑
What does zinc do?   prevents oxidation during casting procedures, acts as a scavenger.  
🗑
What is a scavenger?   A substance added to a mixture to remove or inactivate impurities.  
🗑
What metals whiten alloy?   Gold, platinum, and palladium  
🗑
Type I alloy:   Used for inlays NOT subjected to stress. Used for gingival cavities.  
🗑
Type II alloy:   Used for inlays NOT subjected to stress, but harder than type I alloy.  
🗑
Type III alloy:   Crown and bridge abutments. Lighter in color. Harder than I and II. Contains more palladium and platinum.  
🗑
Type IV alloy:   Large castings of long span bridges, partial dentures clasp and bars, HARDEST AND STRONGEST!!  
🗑
Elongation:   the ability of a material to be stretched without breaking. Stretching elongation is burnishing the alloy.  
🗑
Base metal alloys:   Alloy that does not contain noble metals. i.e. steel, brass and aluminum alloys  
🗑
Why are base metal alloys of chromium, aluminum and titanium used for implants?   because they are the most biocompatible metal  
🗑
Ceramometal:   combo that supplies both strength and esthetics i.e. PFM  
🗑
A temporary restoration is also called?   A provisional restoration  
🗑
Sprue   metal stick  
🗑
Once we get the pattern created in the gypsum, how do we get the gold in?   Centrifugal force  
🗑
Cast metals   metal alloys used in the casting process  
🗑
How are cast metals classified?   according to noble elements which are corrosion resistant  
🗑
How are precious metals classified?   based on cost  
🗑
Precious metals are noble metals plus what?   silver...silver is NOT noble  
🗑
Classification by gold:   Percents is parts per 100, Carats is parts per 24, Fineness is parts per 1000  
🗑
------- and ------ are non precious metals that are white and have a high melting point.   Nickel and chromium, chromium is inexpensive.  
🗑
High gold or high noble alloys contain -- gold.   60%  
🗑
Low gold or low noble alloys contain --noble metals with gold replaced by silver.   25%  
🗑
Alloys with less than 25% noble called?   base metals  
🗑
------------- is used to describe metals with NO noble elements.   nonprecious  
🗑
------ that forms on the surface of the metal when heated help the porcelain chemically bond to the metal   Oxide  
🗑
What is the material of choice for dental implants and why?   titanium because it is biocompatible  
🗑
Another name for porcelain crowns is?   Porcelain jacket crowns  
🗑
C.A.D   Computer Aided Design , Optical impression uses a computer and machine to create restorations.  
🗑
