Dental Materials and Their Parameters Characteristics
Dental materials are very critical for health of human teeth; however, some dental materials are frequently used for the teeth while some are rarely used. Temporary dressing and dental restorative materials are commonly used materials that dentists use to restore the healthy teeth. Part of the characteristics of restorative materials is that they should consist of soft and natural hard tissues. Typically, density, dimensional changes and appearance of restorative materials are very important when choosing restorative materials. Dimensional changes are very important in choosing restorative materials and manipulation of materials involves mixing two or more components. Moreover; density is a fundamental property for the design of restorative materials and the use appropriate alloy is very critical to avoid the displacement. The use of resin-based product, hue, chroma and natural acid are very important to assist teeth to resist solubility and erosion. One of the major functions of restorative materials is to replace tooth subject to wear and tears, or dental trauma. (McCabe, & Walls, 2009).
The choice of appropriate materials in the fabrication of the restorative teeth makes them to be similar to...
Some of the examples of restorative teeth include
Tooth-whitening products.
Intermediate restorative materials,
Amalgam,
Glass ionomer,
Composite resins. (McCabe, & Walls, 2009).
The parameters used in the manufacturing of restorative materials make them to last for a very long time because they are intended to perform similar functions of natural teeth which include chewing and biting capability. Typically, the restorative materials have capabilities to withstand stress and strain on human tooth.
The parameters characteristics of restorative materials are:
Physical properties, application.
biocompatibility, aesthetics and Temporary dressing is the second dental materials that dentists use for teeth dressing. Unlike the restorative dental material that aims to last long, the temporary dressing is aimed to serve for a very short-term. Moreover, the temporary dressing cannot withstand stress and strains and are mainly used for therapeutics purpose. Essentially, the dentists use temporary dressing materials to carry out teeth canal therapy. Zinc oxide is an example of temporary dressing material.…

One day while doing some research for one of his college courses in the library, he noticed a section of books about human evolution and it occurred to him to see whether they had any information about why white teeth were so important in the first place. According to evolutionary biologists, human beings, just like other animals, evolved natural preferences in sexual selection that cause us to be attracted to
According to Martin Giniger, a dental professor at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, there is a growing array of whitening products has arrived on store shelves, costing between $15 and $30 each, compared to professional treatment from a dentist at a cost of $300 or more (Uhlman Pp). Giniger says that peroxide gels are safe when used as directed any that problems arise usually involve gum
Dental Materials Select any two commonly used dental materials and their characteristic parameters (based on your background information on stress strain relation of materials). Dental Amalgam Dental amalgam is a mixture of elementary mercury (at about 43% to 54%) and an alloy powder (at about 46% to 57%) that consists primarily of silver, tin, and copper. Considerable attention has been given in the dental industry to the fact that dental amalgam contains heavy
History Of Tooth Extraction From the 5th Century a paper history tooth extraction Greeks ( 5th century) till . The process if removing teeth from their dental sockets is referred to as tooth extraction (Vignoletti et al.). There are many reasons for extractions, but the most common reason is removal when teeth become unrestorable because of tooth decay, dental trauma, or periodontal disease. People result to tooth extraction when the mentioned conditions
In the third trimester of pregnancy, caution must be taken concerning congestive heart failure, hypertension and decreased renal and hepatic function, interstitial nephritis, hyperkalemia, hyponatremia and renal papillary necrosis, anticoagulation abnormalities, leucopenia, granulocytopenia and thrombocytopenia. The use of Celecoxib is aimed primarily at suppressing pain and inflammatory stimuli, but it may contribute to NSAID gastrointestinal toxicity. The lowest possible dose of celecoxib should be prescribed and taken. On the
Teeth Enamel and Teeth, Generally The hardest part of the human body is the tooth. Teeth help to chew and break down food particles into smaller units for easier digestion down the system. Teeth also help humans to articulate language ((Hoffman)). The enamel is the hardest part of a tooth. Calcium phosphate is its primary composition compound. Enamel Formation and its Strength, Durability The tooth crown constitutes a cellular material known as
