biting force of person with natural teeth
77kg

patients with restorations can experience decrease of 50 to 80%
stress-strain curve
with elastic modulus
The Elastic Modulus is the slope of the stress-strain curve in the initial straight-line portion.

at the upper right end (top of Y or stress axis) of curve is the fracture point
Proportional Limit
Is the stress on the stress-strain curve when it ceases to be linear or vertical

the lowest point on the y axis (stress)
Yield Strength
Is the stress at some arbitrarily selected value of permanent strain (each material has a different value)
-where strain begins to increase

just above proportional on Y axis
Ultimate Strength
is the stress at which the fracture occurs on stress strain curve (upper limit on Y axis)

(fracture point)
Elongation and Compression
The amount of deformation that a material can resist before rupture is reported

The percent of elongation and compression are measures of ductility and malleability, respectively

Elongation = Ductility
Compression = Malleability
Resilience


Toughness
Energy required to deform a material permanently

Energy necessary to fracture a material

(if stress strain curve has smaller slope it is much tougher)
hardness
measured in knopp hardness

-how deep the diamond goes in
Strain-Time Curves
Materials in which the strain is dependent on the time the load is maintained
t0 = Compressive load is applied
0-A = Rapid increase in strain
A-B = Strain gradually increase
t1 = Compressive load is removed
B-C = Rapid decrease in strain
C-D = Gradual decrease in strain
t2 = Permanent strain remained
D-E = Magnitude of strain
The shorter the time and the less force applied to the impression means what?
the lower the permanent strain and the more accurate the impression
the amount of water in milliliters added to 100 g of powder
By convention is expressed as a fraction, such as:
45/100 or 0.45
45 mL of water are added to 100 g of powder
Excess water mixed with model plaster does what
1. Increases setting time
2. Reduces strength
3. Reduces expansion
4. Reduces hardness
If one adds too much water to a gypsum material when it is mixed, one gets a material that has
a softer surface
The setting reaction of a plaster material is characterized by
the release of heat (exothermic)
what is gypsum made of?

what is the reaction?
Calcium sulfate dihydrate

CaSO4·½H2O + 1½ H2O ---> CaSO4·2H2O + heat
Increasing the water-to-powder ratio of a gypsum mix will cause the expansion of gypsum to
decrease
Aside from disinfection, an impression material should be rinsed thoroughly before pouring

WHY?
Colloids on the impression will make the gypsum weak
If one gypsum model (A) has a compressive strength twice that of model B, which will have the higher surface hardness or abrasion resistance?
A
Upon removal of an alginate impression from its poured model, a dentist discovers several fractured teeth on the model. What are possible causes, assuming that the dentist used the correct removal technique?
The impression may have been removed before it reached full strength (45 to 60 minutes is required).

the impression may have been removed after the alginate dried out and became inflexible
model

cast

dies
-to look at structure

-for fabrications of restorations (implants,dentures)

-obtained from master cast
An assistant fails to add surfactant to a silicone impression before pouring in high-strength die stone. What is a likely problem with the cast?
bubbles
to much water with gypsum will cause what
reduced strength, increased porosity,
increased setting time, decreased expansion, and decreased hardness.
The mix will likely be so soupy
short setting time of alginate could be a result of what
too little water
hot water
too much manipulation
An assistant pours an alginate impression with an epoxy material. What will you predict about the quality of the cast and why?
A poor quality cast will probably result with many bubbles and voids because epoxy (a water-hating material) is not compatible with alginate (a water-based material).

· Silica based/glass based
· Non silica based/high strength ceramics
two subcategories of silica based
-Traditional feldspathic porcelain
-Reinforced feldspathic porcelain
Traditional feldspathic porcelain specifics
(know the chemical formulas)
□ Is a very common material in dentistry
□ Feldspathic porcelin is what is fused to metal coping
□ 3 main ingredients
¨ Feldspar K2O-Al2O3-6SiO2
¨ Silica (unchanged during firing providing stability) in form of pure quartz ¨ Kaolin (clay) provides opaqueness Al2O3-2SiO2-2H2O
Materials that solidify without an organized crystalized structure
glass, super cooled liquids
what makes glass translucent
¨ High translucency is #1 property
¨ This is associated with low structural (flexual) strength, the crack does not meet anything is the substance to stop the crack
¨ 60-90 mega pascils in strength (very low)
¨ Discoloration can show through this porcelain
when do you use Traditional feldspathic porcelain
¨ Porcelain laminate veneers
¨ Single units (not common)
Reinforced feldspathic porcelain 2 types
Leucite reinforced feldspathic porcelain

Lithium disilicate reinforced feldspathic
what did Sir John Mclean Do?
¨ Took alumina and mixed with traditional feldspathic porcelain and put it in the furnace to 1000C
¨ Feldspathic at 1000C fuse to form glass
¨ Alumina (aluminum oxide) at 2000C
◊ These become stuck in the glass (the double the flexual strength to about 160 mega pascils)
◊ There is now something for the crack to run into (it is a filler in the material)
◊ If you have a matrix and a filler the matrix determines the restoration, explained is a glass based restoration
Leucite reinforced feldspathic porcelain specifics
¨ Is the most common now, leucite is glass based restoration
¨ Leucite grows during firing, it is not put in like the alumina above
¨ Preciable ceramics is the group
◊ Onlays
◊ Full coverage crowns
◊ Veneers
◊ Inlays
¨ Flexual strength is about 220
Leucite reinforced feldspathic porcelain Require a substrate to bind to
◊ A rough surface is created by applying a acidic agent like hydrofluoric acid to create porous and rough surface to apply bonding agent to. You apply this on restoration and tooth
◊ The adhesive is Bis Gma
Lithium disilicate reinforced feldspathic specifics
¨ Condense particles, making it the strongest material
¨ 360 mega pascils
¨ Do not use this material for a bridge, too stiff
¨ No metal is needed
two sub categories of non silica based
Alumina based

Zirconia based
Two categories of Alumina based
Glass infiltrated aluminous porcelain

Densely sintered alumina
what was Michael Sadoul's role in Glass infiltrated aluminous porcelain
he bipased the shrinkage of aluminum oxide (alumina)
how is shrinkage bipassed in Glass infiltrated aluminous porcelain
-Used pre centering temperature
► This is point where temp is high enough to make particles move and slightly fuse at the grain boundaries
► You can see some fusion but no shrinkage of alumina
-Cool it down
- This coping is very pourus so another stage to seal
◊ Takes glass in form of liquid and adds to coping and fires it so glass can infiltrate the coping and fill it in.
◊ The glass is a filler
◊ The alumina is the matrx
► This makes it a alumina based filler
► Has flexual strength of 450 mega pascils
► First cementable all ceramic restoration
No bonding agent needed
indications for Glass infiltrated aluminous porcelain
up to the first molar
Densely sintered alumina specifics
¨ No porosity here, it is very dense
¨ Flexual strength is 700 mega pascils
¨ Can be cemented anywhere in the dental arch
¨ You make the model big to calculate the shrinkage
¨ The use of a computer to calculate the precise shrinkage
¨ Alumina oxide can mask staining from amalgam and has a radio opacity is similar to enamel
Zirconia based (2nd on non silica)
□ Zirconium oxide
□ Flexual strength is 1000 mega piscals (the strongest)
□ All ceramic brides would use this
□ It shrinks during firing
□ Compensate for shrinkage like above in densely sintered
□ Procerkrzircon is method we use in clinic
what is an inlay
