is called:

b. High density.

c. Wide melting range.

6. Breaking of the marginal seal in a restored tooth may be due to:

restoration.

c. Lerge diference in the coefficient of thermal expansion between the tooth

and the restoration. -

7. Hue is:

2- The dominant wavelength.

b-Color intensity.

C-Degree of lightness or darkness.

d-None of the abôve.

8. Marginei geps between resin composite réstora tions and teeth may be

opened during the ingestion of food and beverages due to!

III. State true or false and correet the false:

2. The presence of scattering centers decreases the opacity of the materiali.

3. Metallic denture base materials of low density help the retention of upper

dentures and have good castzbility.

4. The specific gravity and the coefficient of thermal expansion are unitless.

properties.

5. A good thermal conductor is preferred as a denture base material to

maintain good health of the supporting tissues.

6. The change in color matching of two objects under the same light is called

metamerism.

7. Translucent restorative materials can be used for anterior teeth while

opaque ones should be restricted to the posterier region.

8. Metals with high density have good castability.

9. Increased amount of light reflected from an object to the observer's eyes

make that object appear shiny and lustrous.

10.The thermal diffusivity of the material varies inversely with its density.

11.The high thermal conductivity of a metallic denture base ceuses thermal

pulp shock and discomfort to the patient.

12.Non-vital teeth have high value while vital ones have lower value.

13.Scattering of light in an object decreases its translucency.

14.Close matching in the refractive index between matrix and filler in resin
