Term
Stress
Definition
An internal resistance to an externally applied force
Term
What is stess measured in?
Definition
  • Pascals
  • PSI
  • meganewtons per square meter
  • megapascals
Term
Compressive stress
Definition
  • Forces on an object that are directed toward one another
  • malleability
Term
tensile stress
Definition
  • Forces on an object are directed away from one another
  • ductility
Term
Shearing stress
Definition
  • Forces on an obect are directed in such a manner to twist, rotate, or deform the object sliding one part parallel to the other
  • harmful to human dentition
Term
Strain
Definition
change in length of the sample as a result of an applied force
Term
What is strain measured in?
Definition
  • unitless
  • percentage of change (ΔL/L x 100)
Term
Young's modulus
Definition
Stress/strain until no longer proportional; also measures material's stiffness
Term
Proportional Limit
Definition
  • strees proportional to the strain
  • past this point the object no longer retains original shape
Term
Maximum Flexibility
Definition
Strain associated with stress at proportional limit
Term
Plastic deformation
Definition
small but permanent dimensional change
Term
Fatigue
Definition
repeated application of stress
Term
Ductility
Definition
ability of a material to withstand permanent deformation under tensile stress w/o fracture
Term
Malleabiliy
Definition
Abilit of a material to withstand permanent deformation under compressive stress w/o fracture
Term
% of elongation
Definition
amount of deformation a material can withstand w/o rupture when a TENSILE stress is applied
Term
% of compression
Definition
the amt of deformation a material can withstand w/o rupture when a compressive stress is applied
Term
Heat of fusion
Definition
  • The heat (in calories or joules) required to convert 1g of a material from solid to liquid at the melting temp.
  • L=Q/m
Term
Thermal Conductivity (K)
Definition
the amt of heat per second passing through a body 1-cm thick with a cross section of 1 cm2 when the temp difference is 1 Celsius degree
Term
Why is it important to know thermal conductivity?
Definition
b/c metallic restorations in close proximity to the pulp may cause patient discomfort when hot or cold foods come in contact
Term
Specific heat (Cp)
Definition
the amt of heat needed to raise the temp of 1g of the substance 1 Celcius degree
Term
What has a higher specific heat liquid or solid?
Definition
liquid
Term
Thermal Diffusivity
Definition
rate at which a body w/ a nonuniform temp approaches equilibrium
Term
Hue
Definition
ROYGBIV
Term
Value
Definition
  • lightness of color
  • 1= black, 10= white
Term
Chroma
Definition
  • intensity of color
  • 1= unsaturated, 10= saturated
Term
What is the Hue, Value, and Chroma for a natural tooth?
Definition
  • Hue: Yellow
  • Value: 6-8
  • Chroma: 1-3
Term
Metamerism
Definition
Colors under a fluorescent light source differ under a natural light source
Term
What elements fall under face-centered lattice?
Definition
Cu, Ag, Au, Pt
Term
Creep
Definition
permanent deformation under load in CRYSTALLINE materials
Term
Flow
Definition
permanent deformation under constant load in AMORPHOUS materials
Term
Resilience
Definition
Energy required to deform a material permanently; area beneath the linear portion of stress strain curve
Term
Toughness
Definition
Energy necessary to fracture a material; total area beneath stress-strain curve
Term
Hardness
Definition
Materials resistace to indentation
Term
Adhesion
Definition
bonding between UNLIKE materials
Term
Adhesive
Definition
material used as a binding agent
Term
Adherend
Definition
the surface to which adhesive is applied
Term
low contact angle
Definition
hydrophilic nature
Term

high contact angle (greater than 90 degrees)

 

Definition
hydrophobic nature
Term
Galvanism
Definition

small electric currents created when two dissimilar metals are present in the mouth

 

Term
Electrochemical corrosion
Definition
combination of chemical reaction and flow of electric current;  oxidation (loss of electrons at surface) of metals
Term
Compositon corrosion
Definition
variation in composition of metals on a single surface; eutectic alloys in combination with other alloys
Term
Nonuniform surface corrosion
Definition
occurs when final finishing of metal creates surface stress causing a battery (corrosion) to form between the stressed metal and the saliva
Term
Concentration cell corrosion
Definition
metals exposed to two solutions, or electrolytes, at the same time
Term
Rheology
Definition
study of the flow of liquids
Term
Gypsum
Definition
Calcium Sulfate-dihydrate
Term
calcination
Definition
gypsum ground and heated until H20 is removed
Term
Dihydrate to hemihydrate
Definition
Endothermic
Term
Hemihydrate to dehydrate
Definition
Exothermic
Term
Muffle furnaces
Definition
are so constructed that neither the fuel nor the fire gases come in direct contact with the material to be calcined. A retort (A) of iron, brickwork, or fire-clay, is placed over the fire grate (G). Flues (F. F) are built around the retort, and through these the hot gases from the fire pass on their way to the chimney (E).
Term
Reverberatory furnaces
Definition
are built in many forms, but in all cases the flames and hot gases from the fire come in direct contact with
the material to be
calcined
, but the fuel is separated from it.
Term
Dental plaster: Type 1
Definition
  • impression plaster
  • requires different fillers and retarders, used exclusively on the completely endentulous patient with no undercut areas
Term
Dental plaster: Type II
Definition
  • Model plaster
  • Plaster of paris
  • is primarily used for orthodontics or low strength model pours
Term
Dental plaster: Types I and II
Definition
B-hemihydrate
Term
Dentals Stone: Type III, IV, V
Definition
  • Type III - model stone
  • Type IV - die stone
  • Type V - high strength
  • alpha hemihydrate
  • requires less water
Term
Setting Expansion
Definition
all gypsum products expand during setting; setting expansion normally is 0.1 to 0.2 percent
