Study Notes
Characteristics of Ideal Dental Material
- Biocompatible. This is the ability of a biomaterial to perform its desired function with respect to a medical (or dental) therapy, without eliciting any undesirable local or systemic effects in the recipient or benefiticiary of that therapy, but generating the most appropriate benefit and optimizing the clinical response in that specific situation.
- Mechanically stable and durable.
- Dimensionally stable.
- Aesthetic.
- Resistant to corrosion.
- Easy to manipulate.
- Tasteless and odorless.
- Cleanable and repairable.
- Cost-effective.
Requirements of Dental Materials
- Biological Requirements
- Should be non-toxic & non-irritant to the oral tissues & other tissues.
- Should not produce allergic reactions.
- Should not be carcinogenic.
- Chemical Requirements
- Should be chemically inert.
- Should not dissolve or disintegrate in saliva & oral fluids.
- Rheological Requirements
- Mechanical Requirements
- Miscellaneous Requirements
