increases likelihood that resorption will be retained on the teeth.

true

and example is honey it is thick, spreads slowly, highly viscous, and high resistance

hue

 

value

 

chroma

what is hue
Definition

dominant color of object

 

ie teeth are usually yellow to yellow-red

Term
what refers to the lightness of the color on a scale of 1-10 where 10 is white
Definition

value of color

 

normal value is 6-8

Term
chrome is equal to what?
Definition

saturation or the intesity of the color 1-10

 

(if 10 it is fully saturated)

 

usually normal teeth are low in saturation 1-3

Term
translucency
Definition

the fact that light entering the tooth may be affected in several ways

 

light may be transmitted through

may be reflected

may be scattered

may be transparent

Term
true/false dentin is more translucent than enamel
Definition
false enamel is more translucent than dentin
Term
what is more translucent pfm or porcelain
Definition
porcelain is more translucent
Term
should tooth color be chosen before or after placement of rubber dam?
Definition
before use of rubber dam
Term
corrosion
Definition
deterioration of a metal by chemical or electrochemical reaction
Term
what is of more concern? corrosion or tarnish
Definition
corrosion is of more concern
Term
tarnish
Definition
discoloration of metal as a result of being exposed to acidic fluids and resultant in deterioration.
Term
what is responsible for the stainless quality or corrosion resistance of stainless steel?
Definition

chromium 

 

it protects agains corrosion

 

chlorine is bad for chromium 

Term
what should you never clean dentures in
Definition
chlorine, it will promote corrosion
Term
if there is galvanic cell what do people complain about
Definition
metal taste in mouth
Term
what is the fix for galvanic cell
Definition
eat a pickle
Term
what causes galvanic cell
Definition

when two dissimilar metals touch each other ie aluminum foil and amalgam or amalgam and gold

 

they create an electrical current

Term
crevice corrosion
Definition
when oxygen concentration is lower on margin around restoration, acidity is high and plaque collects causeing corrosion of open margins
Term
how can corrosion be a good thing?
Definition

it can produce metal oxides and fall into crevices to help seal out bacteria

 

it can also increase longevity of restoration by reducing potential for secondary / recurrent decay

Term
percolation
Definition

fluid gets in and out of interface between restoration and tooth

 

could result in corrosion or decay

Term
tensile force
Definition
to pull objects apart
Term
compressive forces
Definition
squeeze together
Term
bending forces
Definition

combo of tensile and compressive

 

ie a bridge that spans a long length will have this

Term
shear force
Definition

slide to top of an object over the bottom

 

 

ie a deck of cards spread out on a table

Term
stress/strain
Definition
force applied to a smaller, thinner piece is more prone to breakage then an equal force applied to larger, thicker piece.
Term
stress
Definition

force/area

 

 

Term
strain
Definition

change of dimension

 

deformation/length

Term
stress relaxation
Definition

slow decrease in force over time

Definition
tension
Term
the modulus of elasticity is and indication of what property of a material?
