Classification of Dental Materials
- Direct Restorative Materials are used to restore teeth directly, including amalgam, composite resin, and glass ionomer cement.
- Indirect Restorative Materials are used to fabricate restorations outside the mouth, including gold, ceramic, and metal-ceramic.
- Impression Materials are used to record impressions of teeth and surrounding tissues, including alginate, silicone, and polyether.
- Gypsum Products are used to create models and dies, including plaster, stone, and high-strength stone.
- Cements are used to lute restorations, including zinc oxide eugenol, zinc polycarboxylate, and glass ionomer.
- Wax and Wax Products are used in fabrication of restorations, including inlays, onlays, and crowns.
Properties of Dental Materials
- Physical Properties include strength, toughness, hardness, density, thermal conductivity, and thermal expansion.
- Chemical Properties include solubility, reactivity, and corrosion resistance.
- Biological Properties include biocompatibility, toxicity, and allergic reactions.
- Optical Properties include color, transparency, and opacity.
Amalgam
- Composition: mercury, silver, tin, copper, and zinc.
- Properties: high strength, low cost, easy to use, but has aesthetic limitations.
- Uses: posterior restorations, especially in molars.
Composite Resin
- Composition: resin matrix, filler particles (e.g. silica, quartz), and coupling agents.
- Properties: aesthetic, tooth-colored, bonding to tooth structure, but has lower strength than amalgam.
- Uses: anterior and posterior restorations, especially in esthetic areas.
Glass Ionomer Cement
- Composition: fluoroaluminosilicate glass, polyacrylic acid, and water.
- Properties: adhesive, fluoride release, but has lower strength than amalgam.
- Uses: restorations in non-load bearing areas, especially in children and root caries.
Gold Alloys
- Composition: gold, silver, copper, and zinc.
- Properties: high strength, corrosion resistance, but high cost and challenging to work with.
- Uses: high-end restorations, especially in crowns and bridges.
Ceramic Materials
- Composition: metal oxides, e.g. alumina, zirconia.
- Properties: high strength, aesthetic, biocompatible, but can be brittle.
- Uses: crowns, bridges, implants, and orthodontic brackets.
