Study Notes
Definition and Classification of Dental Amalgam
- The technical definition of amalgam is not specified, but it can be understood as a mixture of mercury with other metals, used as a restorative material in dentistry.
- Dental amalgam can be classified based on the number of alloy metals, with this classification type being undefined in the provided text.
- Another classification of dental amalgam is based on the presence or absence of zinc.
Properties and Composition of Dental Amalgam
- High copper content dental amalgam alloy has a copper content of around 24%.
- The generation of dental amalgam that is a ternary alloy with 24% copper is not specified.
- Zinc is responsible for delayed expansion caused by moisture contamination in amalgam restorations.
- The element that prevents oxidation of other elements and causes delayed expansion in amalgam alloys is zinc.
Corrosion and Degradation of Dental Amalgam
- The formation of a lack film on the surface as a result of the corrosion of sulphides in amalgam restorations is an example of tarnish corrosion.
- Creep is the term used to describe time-dependent plastic deformation in dental amalgam restorations.
Physical Properties of Dental Amalgam
- The primary reason for not removing the roughness on the surface of an amalgam filling is not specified.
- One of the physical properties listed by the ADA specification No. 1 for amalgam as a measure of quality is compressive strength.
- High early tensile strengths are important for amalgam restorations to withstand occlusal forces.
- The relationship between tensile strength and cavity design for amalgam restorations is that a conservative cavity design is recommended to minimize the stress on the restoration.
- The factor that influences the creep rates of amalgam restorations by increasing with larger g1 volume fraction is not specified.
- The absence of g2 can cause a reduction of creep rates in a single composition alloy.
Manipulation and Trituration of Dental Amalgam
- Over-trituration can cause a decrease in strength and an increase in sensitivity to moisture contamination.
- Under-trituration can cause a decrease in strength, incomplete mercury reaction, and poor marginal adaptation.
- The appropriate speed range for high-speed trituration is not specified.
- The appropriate time range for trituration is around 10-15 seconds.
- The purpose of trituration is to mix the alloy particles with mercury to form a consistent mixture.
Other
- The term used to describe the plastic deformation of amalgam under stress is creep.
- The purpose of the adhesive used to connect amalgam and composite resin is not specified.
