dental materials

        Help!  

Term
Definition
Biting Force   130-170 on the molars and 40 on the anterior  
🗑
Tensile Stress   pulls and stretches a material. tends to be elongated. Ductility is the ability of the material to withstand THIS stress  
🗑
Compressive Stress   pushes or compresses a material. Malleability is the ability of a material to withstand THIS stress  
🗑
Shearing stress   the back and fourth movement of a material. example is bruxism or grinding of the teeth  
🗑
Corrosion   result of chemical or electrochemical attacks by the oral environment on pure metal such as gold or amalgam  
🗑
Tarnish   like corrosion, is when metals become dull and discolored  
🗑
Galvanism   when two different metals are present in the mouth. the is a chance of creating small electrical shocks like biting on aluminum foil with a restoration  
🗑
Micro leakage   when saliva and debris from the oral cavity seep between the tooth structure and the restorative material causing decay and sensitivity  
🗑
bonding agents   used to bond the dentin and enamel with restorative materials. also known as adhesives and resins they are low viscosity resins  
🗑
Thermal conductivity   the ability of a material to transmit heat  
🗑
Thermal expansion   the expanding or contraction of the dental material from heat. they have to fit in te restoration  
🗑
viscosity   the ability of liquid to flow. the thicker the material the less it flows. the thinner the material the faster it flow.  
🗑
wettability   the ability of a material to flow over the surface of a tooth. low contact angle is good. high contact angle is poor wetting of the solid  
🗑
Temporary luting cement   short term cementing agent  
🗑
Luting   bonding or cementing together  
🗑
Linear   material placed in a thin layer on the walls and floor of the cavity preparation. protects the pulp for bacteria and irritents  
🗑
palliative effect   also known as sedative is the soothing effect that a material may have on a tooth, can relieve pain but doesn't cure problem  
🗑
direct pulp capping   a treatment to save the pulp if the pulp is exposed  
🗑
cavity liners   placed in the deepest portion of the cavity prep on the axil and pupal walls. forms a cement liner w/ minimal strength, placed on dentin or exposed pulp  
🗑
types of liners (low strength bases)   calcium hydroxide, zoe, glass ionomer  
🗑
Line angle   lines are formed when two surfaces meet. named according to the meeting surfaces  
🗑
Point angle   in the corners of the cavity prep, three lines (surfaces) come together. named according to the meeting surfaces  
🗑
Cement bases   mixed into a thick putty, placed in the cavity prep to protect the pulp & mechanical support for the restoration. used to raise the floor level to ideal height  
🗑
Types of bases (high strength bases)   glass & hybrid ionomers, reinforced zoe, zinc phosphate and polycarboxylate  
🗑
Debridement   the spraying or rinsing of the cavity prep to remove debris  
🗑
Ideal Level   doesn't invole pulp, goes through the enamel and just into the dentin. large enough to retain a restoration  
🗑
Near Exposure   a large amount of enamel and dentin being removed but the pulp is not exposed. the floor might be slightly pink due to proximity of the pulp  
🗑
Restorative/Operative dentistry   when a tooth needs to be restored using various materials and techniques  
🗑
reasons for rstorations   loss of tooth structure, preventing reoccurring decay, restoring contour of tooth restoring function and appeaence  
🗑
Cavity Varnish   used to seal the dentin tubules that are exposed during a amalgam cavity prep. placed on the surface of the dentin only  
🗑
Calcium Hydroxide   low strength base or liner under the restoration. therapeutic effect on the pulp and has antibacterial properties  
🗑
Zinc Oxide Eugenol (ZOE)   type 1 is not as strong used for temporary restorations. Type 2 called IRM and is placed in the mouth and lasts up to a year  
🗑
Zinc Phosphate   permanent cementation of crowns, inlays, onlays, bridges, bands & brackets, and is also an insulating base  
🗑
