They are biocompatible but brittle, with

    Introduction to Dental Materials

    Dr. Alaa El-din El-Araby, Ph.D Nagaski university, Japan.

    Three basic classes of materials:

    Metals Polymers Ceramics

    Metals
    At the atomic level , the atoms are bonded together by metalic bond. -metalic luster. -excellent electrical and thermal conductivity. -ability to be shaped (malleability). -strength, hardness, and high density. -Opaque

    Metals

    What is alloy?

    Mixture of 2 or more metals

    What is metal?? Metals versus alloys in dentistry.

    Types of metals in dentistry:

    Noble (gold, pt, Pd, .. Seminoble ( old term).gold is replaced with silver Non-noble.

    Metals

    Preformed metals:

    Cohesive gold Amalgam Wrought wires

    Metals

    Casting metals The restoration is fabricated outside the mouth utilizing the lost wax technique.

    POLYMERS
    They are widely used in dentistry. Polymers versus plastics??? Plastic is any material cabable to be shaped . Ductile metals considered as plastic

    Polymers: this term means many parts

    Polymerisation: process by which the monomer is converted into polymer.

    Polymers
    They are bonded by covalent bonding along the backbone, and ionic bonding . Polymers are prepared in form of dough then shaped into desired shapes. They harden by: -physical reaction,(cooling, or evapration). Waxes, -chemical reaction,

    Types

    Impression. Waxes. Denture bases. TCRM.

    Ceramics

    They are made of metallic oxides. Porcelain. Produced by sintering Glass, produced by melting and fusion of the oxides.

    ceramics

    They are bonded by ionic bonds. No free electron to conduct heat or electricity.

    Poor thermal conductor Stable ,biocompatible Trasparent. Traslucency, due to air bubles Three dimensional crystal structure. Brittle

    Types of ceramics

    Porcelain Gypsum Investment Cements
