metals

 

ceramics

 

polymers

 

composites (mixture of 2 or more of the above mentioned materials)

Term
what are some examples of metals
Definition
gold or silver amalgam
Term
why are metals a good choice
Definition

-good for posteriors

 

-oldest of 3 major classes

 

-high thermal and electrical conductivity

 

-ductility can be bent without breaking

 

-high strenght

 

-can be shaped into crowns, inlays, onlays, cusp tips, or bridges

Term
what color are metals
Definition

white or gray

 

gold is yellow

 

copper is red

Term
what is the arrangement of metals
Definition
regular crystalline arrangement in form of cube
Term

Definition

esthetic

 

hight strength

 

can be matched to any tooth color

Term
Amalgam
Definition

poor asthetic

 

high strength

 

suitable for posteriors

 

larger at base of tooth than at occlusal

Term
consistancy of porcelain
Definition

brittle, cannot be bent or deformed without cracks or breaking

 

 

Term
what material is a good insulator, has low thermal and electrical conductivity and has a high melting point?
Definition
porcelain
Term
polymers
Definition

plastics in a long chain of molecules have covalent bonds.

 

they are weaker than metal

 

asthetically pleasing

 

pretty durable

good for anteriors

 

used for adhesives or denture materials

Term
what are composites used for
Definition
small anterior restorations and some posterior
Term
colloids
Definition

mixtures of gases, liquids, or solids

 

not true solutions of one material dissolved in another

 

jell-o, milk

Term
emulsions
Definition
type of colloid has 2 liquids that do not blend together like oil and water
Term
cement base
Definition

used if deep posterior prep is required

 

placed below restoration

 

insulates the pulp from irritation from thermal sensation transmitted.

Term

Definition
0.75-1.0 mm
Term
crown
Definition

restoration that restores anatomy and function of part or all of coronal portion of tooth.

Term
veneer
Definition
thin jacket of porcelain that covers facial view and slightly wraps tooth at incisal, mesial and distal
Term
when is dental bridge used?
Definition

to replace lost, or missing teeth

 

the two teeth that anchor are the abutments and the pontic is in the middle replacing lost teeth

Term
prosthesis
Definition
artificial device that replaces lost organ or bone

replaces missing teeth, bone, gingiva after teeth are lost or extracted.
Term
fixed partial denture
Definition

is cemented into place 

 

ie bridge

Term
removeable partial
Definition
replaces few or many teeth
Term
impression
Definition
negative copy filled with solid to form replica of teeth
Term
cast

Term
what are the 3 types of primary bonds?
Definition

covalent-share electrons

 

ionic-one electron is given up by atom and accepted by another atom
