Laboratory 1 Dental material properties

Group: 14 Section 2

a. Questions: i. Define plastic deformation of a dental material. (2 marks)

Material does not return to its original shape after force applied is removed on the materials is more than the limit

ii. Which material do you predict to be more accurate in terms of detail reproduction if used to take an impression, among the two types of rubber materials shown in the lab (putty or wash rubber materials? (1 mark) Wash rubber material because it is less viscous than putty rubber.

b. i.

Questions: What are the four hues present on a shade guide? Mention the actual color. (2marks)

The four hues present on a shade guide are A, B, C, and D shades. A reddish-brown character B reddish-yellow character C grey character D reddish-gray character

ii.

What is the best light source to be used when selecting the restorations shade?

(1 mark)

Normal bright day light

c. i.

Questions: Define elasticity (2 mark)

Elasticity is the ability of a material to stretch without breaking.

ii. Plasticity

What is the term used to describe the property opposite to elasticity.

iii.

How does a brittle material respond to compressive and tensile force when subjected to them separately? (2 marks)

A brittle material can resist compressive force and will not crack but it is weak under tensile force and the material will crack.

d. Question:

Which electrical property is represented by the adjacent clinical picture?

(1 mark)

Galvanism

e. Question: Name two causes of corrosion in dental amalgam fillings. (2 marks)

1. 2.

Adjacent dissimilar metals as galvanic action can cause the metal to dissolve resulting in pitting and roughness Chemical corrosion

f. Question: Mention two requirements of dental materials in general. 1. 2. Non-toxic Non-irritant (2 marks)
