Study Notes
Dental Materials Review
- Dental materials are categorized by acidity (pH above 7 is alkaline, below 7 is acidic).
- Adhesion is the force between dissimilar substances (e.g., plaque).
- Tensile force is a pulling force (e.g., orthodontic bands).
- Compressive force is a pushing force.
- Shearing stress is a force applied side-to-side (e.g., bruxism).
- Hue describes the dominant color.
- Value refers to the lightness of a color (scale 1-10, black is 1, white is 10).
- Chroma is the intensity of a color.
- Translucency is the amount of light passing through a material.
- Corrosion is the chemical or electrochemical deterioration of metal in the mouth.
- Tarnish is the dulling or discoloration of metal.
- Dimensional change is a change in size or shape due to imbibition (water absorption).
- Ductility is the ability to deform under tensile force without breaking.
- Malleability is the ability to deform under compressive force without breaking.
- Elasticity is the ability to deform and return to its original shape.
- Flow (creep) is continuous deformation under constant force.
- Galvanism is the potential for electric current between dissimilar metals.
- Hardness is the material's resistance to scratching or indentation.
- Micro leakage is a small gap between a restoration and tooth.
- Retention is the ability of a material to adhere to tooth structure.
- Solubility is a substance's ability to dissolve in a liquid.
- Wettability is a material's ability to spread across a surface.
- Viscosity is a liquid's resistance to flow.
- Toxicity describes a material's harmfulness.
- Thermal conductivity measures heat flow.
- Thermal expansion is the increase in size of a material with heat.
- Organizations (like ADA and FDA) regulate dental materials.
Dental Cements
- Zinc Oxide Eugenol (ZOE): temporary cement, base, luting agent.
- Zinc Phosphate: permanent cement, ortho bands, crowns, bridges.
- Polycarboxylate: permanent cement, ortho bands, crowns.
- Glass Ionomer (GI): luting (temporary cement), base, liners and restorative.
- Important brands include: ZOE 2200, Zogenol, Tempbond, Fynal, Schein, Accubite, Patterson, and many more.
Impression Materials
- Polyvinylsiloxane (addition silicone): ideal for final impressions (crown, bridges).
- Polyether: shows fine detail, commonly used for crowns, bridges and dentures.
- Polysulfide: flexible, good detail reproduction, commonly used for removable dentures.
- Condensation Silicone: good for final impressions but less stable than addition silicone.
Amalgam Alloy Components
- Main component is silver (50-70%).
- Tin: weakns amalgam but slows hardening and reduces expansion.
- Copper: increases hardness, resists corrosion.
Amalgam Factors
- Proper alloy-to-mercury ratio is crucial for good amalgam.
- Adequate trituration (mixing) is important for strength.
- Minimal dimensional change during hardening is a key factor.
- Correct handling (avoiding excess moisture) maintains quality.
Dental Wax Types
- Pattern waxes (inlay, casting, baseplate)
- Processing waxes (boxing, sticky, utility)
- Impression waxes (bite registration)
Dental Casting Process
- Wax pattern is created as a model.
- Sprues are added to guide the molten alloy.
- The wax is removed from the mold.
- The metal (alloy) is poured into the mold.
- The finished restoration is removed.
Denture Construction
- Temporary form (shellac or acrylic) is used.
- A bite rim reinforces.
- Acrylic baseplate is made.
- Artificial teeth are attached to the baseplate.
Acrylic Resins in Dentistry
- Custom trays and temporary crowns/bridges.
