  1. Introduction to Dental Materials DHYG 113 Restorative Dentistry I

  2. Biomaterials Oral Tissues • Enamel • Dentin • Cementum • Pulp • Periodontium • Gingival Tissue

  3. Objectives • Discuss some of the conditions that make the oral cavity hostile to dental materials • Identify ideal properties of dental materials • Explain how dental materials, drugs, instruments and equipment are evaluated • Summarize the reasons the dental hygienist should be knowledgeable about the science of dental materials • Name and discuss classification categories

  4. Replacement Materials Restriction on use: • Biting forces • Degradation of materials and teeth • Temperature changes • Biocompatibility • Esthetics

  5. Characteristics of an Ideal Dental Material • Biocompatible • Mechanically Stable & Durable • Resistant to Corrosion or Chemicals • Dimensionally Stable • Minimally Conductive – thermal & electrical • Esthetic • Easy to Manipulate • Adherent to Tissues • Tasteless and Odorless • Cost-effective

  6. History Ancient Times to the 1700’s • Gold, Ivory, Porcelain, Wax, Gypsum, Cements (Zinc phosphate & ZOE) During the 1800’s • Amalgam in use, Porcelain inlays & crowns The 20th Century • New materials constantly developed • Variety of cast metals: gold, chromium & nickel, chromium & cobalt, and titanium • Polymers and Composites

  7. Standards for Dental Materials • Medical Device Amendment of 1976 • FDA considers dental materials as medical devices • FDA has authority to ensure safety of dental materials • Council for Scientific Affairs of the ADA • ADA Seal of Acceptance

  8. Restorative Materials Restorations & Crowns Bridges Complete & Partial Dentures Impression Casts & Models 6. Cements 7. Temporary Materials 8. Preventive Materials 9. Polishing Materials 10. Implants 11. Specialty Materials Classifications of Dental Materials by Use

  9. Classification by Location of Fabrication • Direct Restorative Materials • Constructed directly in the oral cavity • Amalgams, Composites, Glass ionomers • Indirect Restorative Materials • Fabricated outside the oral cavity • Gold crowns and inlays • Ceramic materials • Indirect restorative polymers

  10. Classification by Longevity of Use Permanent Restorations • Don’t last forever, but give years of service

  11. Longevity, con’t • Temporary Restorations • Planned to be replaced in a short time • Interim Restorations • Long term temporary restorations

  12. Discussion • What are some implications of dental hygiene practice on dental materials? • Why do you think this might be important? • What are your thoughts about hygienists doing restorative procedures? Is this something you would enjoy doing?
