    Study Notes

    Dental Biomaterials I - Lecture 2: Structure of Matter

    • Matter: Any substance with mass and occupying space.
    • Atom: The fundamental unit of matter, having all the characteristics of an element. Made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
      • Protons: Positively charged particles located in the nucleus.
      • Neutrons: Neutral particles found in the nucleus.
      • Electrons: Negatively charged particles orbiting the nucleus.
    • Atomic Basis and Properties: There's a direct relationship between the atomic arrangement and a material's properties.
    • Interatomic Attraction:
      • Primary Bonds (Chemical Bonds): These hold atoms together in solids.
        • Ionic Bonds: Attraction between oppositely charged ions (metal and nonmetal). Sodium chloride (NaCl) is a classic example.
          • Characteristics: Strong bonds, heat-resistant, insoluble in organic solvents, soluble in ionized solvents (like water, acids, and alkalis), can conduct electricity in solution.
          • Dental Examples: Gypsum, phosphate-based cements.
        • Covalent Bonds: Sharing of electrons between atoms (nonmetal and nonmetal). An example is dihydrogen (H2).
          • Characteristics: Strong, water-insoluble, soluble in organic solvents, electrical and thermal insulators.
          • Dental Examples: Dental resin.
        • Metallic Bonds: Valence electrons are shared freely among atoms (usually metals), forming an electron cloud.
          • Characteristics: Good electrical and thermal conductivity, luster, ductility, and malleability.
          • Dental Examples: Dental amalgam, casting alloys, wrought wires.
      • Secondary Bonds (Physical Bonds): These are weaker attractions.
        • Hydrogen Bonds: Strongest secondary bond, arising from the polar nature of molecules like water.
          • Characteristics: Weak bonds, low melting points, high thermal expansion.
        • Van der Waals Forces: Weaker attractions between temporary dipoles, found in inert gases.
          • Characteristics: Weakest secondary bond, low melting points.

    Structure of Solids

    • Crystalline Solids: Atoms arranged in a highly ordered, repeating pattern called a space lattice.
      • Characteristics: Definite melting temperatures. Examples: Metals, quartz, diamond.
    • Amorphous Solids: Atom arrangement is random and lacks long-range order.
      • Characteristics: No definite melting temperature; gradually softens upon heating, and gradually hardens upon cooling. Examples: Glass, some polymers (e.g., waxes, rubber, dental resins).

    Space Lattice

    • Space Lattice: The arrangement of atoms in a solid, resulting from primary or secondary bonds.
    • Unit Cell: The smallest repeating unit within a space lattice.
    • Lattice Types: There are 14 possible types, like cubic (simple, body-centered, face-centered), tetragonal, etc.

    Objectives

    • Students will be able to describe the relationship between atomic structure and properties of materials
    • Compare and contrast different types of chemical bonds (ionic, covalent, metallic) and their roles in dental materials.
    • Differentiate between molecules and lattices and provide examples of restorative materials that exhibit each.
