    Study Notes

    Dental Materials (MCQs) - Test 1

    • Stress vs. Strain: Stress is force over area, while strain is deformation over length.
    • Bicuspid Biting Force: Average biting force for bicuspids is 222-445 to 400-890 N. (133-334 to 250-450 N)
    • Amalgam Formula: G.V. Black introduced an acceptable amalgam formula in 1895.
    • Material Ability: The ability of a material to withstand permanent compression without rupture is known as ductility.
    • Dentin Hardness: Knoop hardness number for dentin is 100.
    • Adhesion Factors: Factors affecting adhesion include interpenetration, wettability, macro-mechanical interlocking but not viscosity.
    • Gypsum Accelerator: Sodium sulfate is a gypsum accelerator.
    • Light Beam Interactions: When a beam of light strikes an object, transmission, scattering, dispersion, and absorption can occur.

    Dental Materials - Additional Concepts

    • Maximum Stress: The maximum stress before permanent deformation is known as the elastic limit.
    • Liquid Viscosity: A liquid that becomes less viscous with repeated pressure application is called thixotropic.
    • Mechanical Properties: Mechanical properties related to plasticity include ductility, and percent elongation, but not elastic modulus.
    • Synthetic Polymers: Bakelite, Perspex, and Nylon are examples of synthetic polymers. (Polystyrene is not listed as an example)
    • Color Saturation: The strength of color or the degree of saturation of color is known as chroma.
    • Thermal Disturbance: A measure of how quickly temperature disturbance travels through a body is called thermal diffusivity.
    • Stress Deformation: Slow stress deformation under a constant load is called creep.
    • First ADA Acceptance Seal: The first ADA seal of acceptance was used in 1931.
    • Elastic Limit Definition: The elastic limit is the same as the yield point of a material.
    • Shear Forces: Shear is a result of parallel but non-linear forces.

    Dental Materials - Additional Concepts (Part B)

    • Ideal Restorative Material Properties: Ideal restorative materials are biocompatible, bond permanently to the tooth structure, match natural tooth appearance, and initiate repair processes. These are important criteria for ideal restorative treatment choices.
    • Electrochemical Corrosion: Galvanic corrosion occurs with combinations of metals, while concentration cell corrosion has differing electrolyte concentrations. Stress corrosion occurs due to fatigue from repeated loading.
    • Gypsum Setting Theories: Setting of gypsum materials is explained by colloidal theory, hydration theory, and dissolution-precipitation theory.
    • Adhesive Bonding Factors: Factors influencing good adhesive bonding are clean surfaces, substance penetration, chemical reactions (surface contact), shrinkage reduction and prevention and thermal stress stability.
    • Dentin Challenges with Adhesion: Dentin presents challenges in adhesive bonding due to its living tissue nature, tubular structure, presence of the smear layer, and dentinal fluid.
    • Dental Material Classification: Dental materials are broadly classified as preventative, restorative, auxiliary and temporary.
