10 Questions
What are the desired properties of dental restorations?
Restoration remains integral and in place, restore occlusion and withstand masticatory forces, restore aesthetics, prevent formation of caries and recurrence, provide patient comfort and restore function
What factors contribute to the failure of dental materials?
Material and its physical, chemical, and biological properties, design, manufacturing process, physical failure when critical stress is exceeded
Define rheology.
Rheology is the study of deformation and flow of matter, both liquid and solid, under the influence of an applied stress or strain
How does the magnitude of critical stress depend on loading conditions?
The magnitude of critical stress depends on the type of loading, such as shear stress leading to lower critical stress compared to other types of stress
Why is the replacement of failed restorations a large part of dental operative work?
Dental restorations have a limited lifespan, leading to the need for their replacement, which is a significant part of dental operative work
What are the main problems associated with dental restorations?
Limited lifespan, replacement leading to increased cavity size, weakened tooth
What are the desired properties of dental restorations?
Restoration remains integral and in place, restores occlusion and withstands masticatory forces, restores aesthetics, prevents formation of caries and recurrence, provides patient comfort and restores function
What factors contribute to the failure of dental materials?
Complex interactions between material properties, design, manufacturing process, and loading conditions
What is rheology?
The study of deformation and flow of matter, both liquid and solid, under the influence of an applied stress or strain
How does the magnitude of critical stress depend on loading conditions?
The critical stress depends on the type of loading, with materials loaded in shear having a lower critical stress than materials loaded in other ways
Test your knowledge on dental restorations and their problems and desired properties. Learn about the limited lifespan of restorations, the challenges of replacing failed restorations, and the importance of restoring occlusion, aesthetics, and preventing cavities.
