LP-1 Quiz: Properties of Dental Materials

What cavity classification would this type of decay represent?

What type of restorative material would most likely be selected for this procedure?

What instrument is in the setup for the placement of the restorative dental material?

An internal resistance to an externally applied force is referred to as stress.

Strain is the distortion or change produced by stress.

_________________________ is the means of preparing a tooth surface for retaining or holding something in place.

A(n)______________________________ is a microscopic area where moisture and contaminants can enter.

The property of a liquid that prevents it from flowing easily is the__________________.

To bond or attach two items together is to_________________________.

A(n)__________________________ reaction is the effect of an electrical shock that results when two metals come into contact.

Case Study Overview

Procedure involves restorative dentistry on teeth #10 and #11 with decay in the gingival third of the facial surfaces.
Use of dental dam is indicated for moisture control during the procedure.

Cavity Classification

Decay type corresponds to Class 5, typically involving the cervical area of anterior and posterior teeth.

Restorative Materials

Composite resin is the most appropriate restorative material for this procedure, due to its aesthetic qualities and bonding strength.

Instrument Setup

Key instruments for the procedure: gauze, condenser, liner, and composite placement tool are essential for effective application of restorative material.

Concepts of Stress and Strain

Stress is defined as internal resistance against an externally applied force.
Strain represents the distortion or change produced by applied stress, highlighting the material's reaction.

Retention in Dentistry

Retention is the process of preparing a tooth surface to hold a restorative material securely in place.

Microleakage

Microleakage refers to the microscopic openings that allow moisture and contaminants to infiltrate, potentially compromising restorative work.

Viscosity

Viscosity describes a liquid's resistance to flow, which is a crucial property in selecting dental materials.

Adherence

To adhere means to bond or attach two items together, vital for the longevity of dental restorations.

Galvanic Reaction

A galvanic reaction occurs when two different metals come into contact within the oral environment, potentially causing discomfort or damage due to electrical shock.
