    Study Notes

    Course Information

    • Course: Dentistry Program
    • Lecture Title: Mechanical Properties (part 1)
    • Lecturer: Dr. Reem Ashraf
    • Date: 3/11/2024

    Objectives

    • Differentiate between force, stress, and strain
    • Understand the clinical significance of different mechanical properties
    • Extract material properties from stress-strain curves
    • Draw stress-strain curves for given properties

    Mechanical Properties

    • Properties of materials relating to force
    • Describe how restorative materials respond to force in service
    • Critical for understanding and predicting the behavior of restorative materials under load

    Why Study Mechanical Properties of Dental Materials?

    • Dental materials experience forces during fabrication and function (e.g., mastication)

    Average Biting Force

    • Molars: ~665 N
    • Premolars: ~450 N
    • Incisors: ~220 N
    • Varies between genders and age groups

    Force

    • External action causing or changing a body's motion
    • Measured in kg, lb, or newton

    Stress

    • Internal reaction to an external force
    • Equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the external force
    • Calculated as Force/Area
    • Units: Kg/cm², lb/in², MN/m² (MPa)

    Stress = Force / Area

    • Higher force or smaller contact area leads to higher stress

    Types of Stress

    • Tensile Stress: Forces pulling away from each other
    • Compressive Stress: Forces pushing towards each other
    • Shear Stress: Forces directed towards each other but not in the same line

    Complex Stresses

    • Forces on dental restorations are a combination of tensile, compressive, and shear stresses.

    Strain

    • Change in length per unit length due to stress
    • Calculation: (Lf - Lo)/Lo
    • Unitless

    Types of Strain

    • Elastic Strain: Temporary; disappears upon removing the force; material returns to its original shape
    • Plastic Strain: Permanent; remains after removing the force; material does not return to its original shape

    Hooks Law

    • Strain is directly proportional to stress until the proportional limit

    Stress-Strain Curve

    • Straight Portion (Linear Relation): Stress increases, strain increases proportionally (Hooke's Law)
    • Curved Portion: Stress increases, strain increases at a rate that is not linear.
    • End Point (Fracture Point): Material fails by fracture or breaking.

    Properties Obtained from Stress Axis

    • Proportional Limit: Maximum stress where the material behaves proportionally to strain
    • Elastic Limit: Maximum stress without permanent deformation
    • Yield Strength: Stress where the material begins to deform plastically
    • Ultimate Strength: Maximum stress the material can withstand before fracture
    • Fracture Strength: Stress at which the material completely fractures

    Properties Obtained from Strain Axis

    • Stiffness/Flexibility: Resistance to deformation (related to Young's Modulus)
    • Ductility/Malleability: Ability to be deformed under tension or compression
    • Brittleness: Lack of plastic deformation before fracture.

    Modulus of Elasticity/Young's Modulus

    • Constant of proportionality between stress and strain
    • Represents material rigidity/ stiffness; resistance to elastic deformation
    • Units: MN/m², lb/in², kg/cm²

    Dental Importance of Modulus of Elasticity

    • Material selection for bridges (particularly long-span bridges)
    • Thin sections of denture bases
    • Increase the resistance to fracture in fillings beneath amalgam restoration.

    Maximum Flexibility (Impression Materials)

    • Ability to return to its original shape after deformation

    Ductility and Malleability

    • Ductility: Ability to be drawn into wire under tension
    • Malleability: Ability to be hammered into thin sheets under compression

    Elongation %

    • Measure of ductility
    • Calculation: (Lf - Lo) / Lo * 100

    Brittleness

    • Materials exhibit little to no permanent deformation under applied loads

    Resilience

    • Amount of energy absorbed to deform material to proportional limit
    • Represents resistance to permanent deformation

    Toughness

    • Amount of energy absorbed before fracture
    • Brittle materials: ability to resist crack propagation
    • Ductile materials: fracture via necking, which allows for plastic deformation and stress redistribution

    Clinical Importance (Relating to Material Properties)

    • Orthodontic wires: stored energy releases over time for tooth movement.
    • Resilient denture base materials: resist deformation from masticatory forces.
    • Acrylic dentures: absorb most masticatory forces, reducing transmission to underlying bone.
    • Important Note: Fracture toughness can be modified.
