Study Notes
###Â Mechanical Properties of Dental Materials
- Mechanical properties describe how dental materials respond to applied forces.
- Important factors: stress, strain, strength, and stiffness
- Stress is the force per unit area within a material caused by an external force.
- Tensile Stress: Pulls a material apart. Examples: enamel (10 MPa), dentin (106 MPa), amalgam (32 MPa)
- Compressive Stress: Pushes a material together. Examples: enamel (384 MPa), dentin (297 MPa), amalgam (388 MPa)
- Shear Stress: Causes layers of the material to slide past each other.
- Flexural Stress: Bends a material, causing tensile stress on one side and compressive stress on the other.
- Torsional Stress: Twists a material.
- Strain (ε) is the change in a material's dimensions caused by an applied force. It has no units of measurement.
- Elastic Strain: Temporary, reversible deformation. The material returns to its original shape.
- Plastic Strain: Permanent, irreversible deformation. The material does not return to its original shape.
- Stress-Strain Curve (S-S Curve): Plot of stress versus strain, which demonstrates a material's mechanical properties.
- Proportional Limit (Point A): The maximum stress a material can sustain before its stress-strain relationship becomes non-linear.
- Elastic Limit (Point A): The maximum stress a material can withstand before permanent deformation occurs.
- Elastic Region (0 to A): The region where the material is elastic (reversible deformation).
- Plastic Region (A to D): The region where the material deforms permanently.
- Ultimate Strength (Point C): The maximum stress a material can withstand before failure. Examples: acrylic (8000 PSI), Co/Cr (100000 PSI), stainless steel (15000 PSI).
- Fracture Strength (Point D): The stress at which a material breaks.
- Modulus of Elasticity (Elastic Modulus): A measure of a material's stiffness. Represents the slope of the linear (elastic) region of the S-S curve. Examples: enamel (84 GPa), dentin (17 GPa).
- Flexibility: The ability of a material to withstand elastic strain.
- Ductility: The ability of a material to withstand permanent deformation (plastic strain) under tensile stress without fracturing. Examples: gold (highly ductile).
- Malleability: The ability of a material to withstand permanent deformation under compressive stress without fracturing. Examples: gold (highly malleable).
- Brittleness: Opposite of ductility. Materials that fracture easily.
- Resilience: The amount of energy a material absorbs before reaching its elastic limit.
- Toughness: The amount of energy a material can absorb until fracture. Represents the area under the stress-strain curve.
- Fatigue: Fracture caused by repeated application of small stresses below the proportional limit.
- Transverse Strength: The strength of the middle of a beam supported at its ends. Important for dental bridges.
- Impact Strength: A material's ability to withstand sudden shock.
- Hardness: Resistance to scratching or indentation. Measured using a steel ball or diamond tip (Brinell, Rockwell, Vickers, Knoop). Higher numbers indicate harder materials. Examples: Brinell hardness number - acrylic (22), dentin (65), gold (250); Knoop hardness number - enamel (343), dentin (68), Co/Cr (391).
