introduction to dental materials

What is Dental Material?. Human body is prone to damage due to either disease or accidents.Likewise the structures in the oral cavity are lost or damaged due to disease such as caries and periodontal disease and trauma.The main goal in dentistry is to maintain or improve the quality of life through replacement or alteration of tooth structure. .

    1. Introduction to Dental Materials Dr. Arti

    3. Cont’d Therefore the main challenge for centuries has been to develop and select ideal dental materials that can withstand the adverse conditions of the oral environment.

    4. Ideal Restorative Material An ideal restorative material should: Be biocompatible Should bond permanently to tooth structure or bone Should match the natural appearance of tooth structure and other visible tissues Exhibit properties similar to those of tooth tissues (enamel and dentine) Be capable of initiating tissue repair or regeneration of missing or damaged tissues

    5. Cont’d Four groups of materials: Metals Ceramics Polymers Composites

    6. Classification: Preventive dental materials Restorative dental materials Auxiliary dental materials

    7. Preventive Dental Materials Pit and Fissure Sealants Sealing agents that prevent leakage Materials used primarily for their antibacterial effects. Liners, bases, cements and restorative materials that are used primarily because they release fluoride. Chlorhexidine or other therapeutic agents used to prevent or inhibit the progression of tooth decay.

    8. Restorative Dental Materials Synthetic components that can be used to repair or replace tooth structure, including primers, bonding agents, liners, cement bases, amalgams, resin-based composites, compomers, hybrid ionomers, cast metals, metal-ceramics, ceramics, and denture polymers.

    9. Restorative Dental Materials Direct restorative materials Used intraorally to fabricate restoration or prosthetic devices directly on the teeth Indirect restorative materials Made extraorally in which the materials are formed indirectly on the teeth or tissues Temporary restorative materials

    10. Auxiliary Dental Materials Substances used in the process of fabricating dental prostheses and appliances but do not become part of these devices. Acid – etch solutions, impression materials, casting investments, gypsum cast, and model materials, dental waxes, acrylic resins for impression, bleaching trays, mouthguards, and occlusion aids, finishing and polishing abrasives.

    11. Types of restorations Silver Amalgam

    12. Resin Composite

    13. Inlays and Onlays (Gold)

    14. Crowns (Ceramic, Gold, Ceramic fused to metal)

    15. Bridges

    16. Full Denture & Partial Denture

    17. The End!
