Indirect Restorations |
Made outside of the patients mouth then placed in mouth Examples: Crowns and Bridges |
|
Direct Restorations |
Made and placed directly in the patients mouth Examples: Amalgams and Composites |
|
Adhesion |
The joining of two objects |
|
Bonding |
The process of using a substance, or to join two objects together |
|
Curing |
The process which a dental material hardens or sets |
|
Light-Cured |
Requires a special light which is held over the material after it is placed in the oral cavity (Composites) |
|
Self-Cured |
Materials DO NOT require light or heat, it will harden due to a chemical reaction (Acrylic) |
|
Dual-Cured |
Use a combination of light-curing and self-curing |
|
Flow or Creep |
Materials change shape when pressure or force is applied to them Example: Wax changes shape with pressure |
|
Viscosity |
How easy the liquid moves or flows Example: Water is less viscous than syrup |
|
Wettability |
The degree to which matter can be wetted so that is can spread across a solid surface |
|
Solubility |
The degree to which matter dissolves and breaks apart when it is wet |
|
Elasticity |
The ability of dental materials to change shape when force is applied and then return to their original shape when the force is removed |
|
Hardness |
How well a material can resist scratches or marks |
|
Stress |
The force or pressure |
|
Resistance |
The degree a material can hold up against force or stress |
|
Strain |
When there is low resistance and high stress |
|
Ductility |
When a material stretches out or lengthens |
|
Corrosion |
A chemical process that happens when metal mixes with water |
|
Galvanism |
When TWO dissimilar metals contact water, they are connected electrically |
|
Retention |
The way dental materials are held in place |
|
Mechanical |
Creating grooves on the tooth surfaces so a restoration holds in place |
|
Chemical |
Uses chemical to hold a restoration in place |
|
Tensile Strength |
The amount of force or pulling that material can resist without tearing or falling out of place |
|
Acidity |
The amount of acid in a substance |
|
Microleakage |
Saliva or food particles can leak into small spaces between the tooth and the restoration |
|
Zinc Oxide Eugenol (ZOE) |
Type I - Used for temporary restorations Type II - Used as a base (Permanent) (Roll into a ball) CANNOT be used under composite restorations ZOE Cement: Paper pad & metal spatula ZOE Base: Glass slab & metal spatula |
|
Zinc Phosphate |
Can damage the pulp Releases heat when mixed (Exothermic reaction) Glass slab, metal spatula |
|
Polycarboxylate |
Must be mixed and applied quickly Liquid evaporates quickly Paper pad & metal spatula |
|
Glass Ionomer |
Releases fluoride into the tooth Does NOT irritate the pulp Paper pad & plastic spatula |
|
Composition of Amalgam |
Silver, Tin, Zinc, Copper, Mercury |
|
Mercury-To-Alloy Ratio |
If the ratio is 1:1 then it is called Eames technique |
|
Amalgam Sizes |
400 mg single spill - Small surface restorations 600 mg double spill - Medium sized restorations 800 mg triple spill - Large restorations |
|
Trituration |
Mixing the mercury and alloy |
|
Amalgam or Triturator |
The machine used to mix amalgam |
|
Handle |
Composes most of the instrument |
|
Shank |
Connects the handle to the working end |
|
Working End |
Carries out the function of the instrument |
|
Composite |
Tooth colored filling material |
|
Fillers |
Can make up 80% of the composite |
|
Macrofilled |
Largest particle size |
|
Microfilled |
Small particle size |
|
Hybrid Composite |
Contain large and small particles |
|
Nano-fils |
Different sizes of very small particles |
|
Flowable Composite |
Low viscosity |
|
Cavity Wall |
The internal surface of the restoration |
|
Axial Wall |
An internal wall that runs parallel to the long axis of the tooth |
|
Pulpal Wall/Floor |
