Dental Materials: • Properties of Dental Materials – Physical, Mechanical • Biocompatibility • Micro structure of metal alloys • Impression materials • Gypsum product • Dental Resins – Denture base and Restorative Resin • Dental Amalgam • Dental Cements • Direct filling Gold • Dental casting alloys • Finishing and polishing materials • Dental Ceramics
Mechanical Properties of DM • Mechanical Properties: • Stress • Strain • Mechanical Properties based on elastic deformation: • Stress- Strain diagram/ curve • Modulus of elasticity • Poisson’s ratio • Flexibility • Resilience
Strength Properties: • Proportional limit • Elastic limit • Yield strength • Diametral tensile strength • Flexural strength • Fatigue strength • Impact strength
Other Mechanical properties: • Toughness • Fracture toughness • Brittleness • Ductility and Malleablility • Hardness
STRESS • Force per unit area; Stress= Force/Area • It is normally defined in terms of mechanical stress, which is the force divided by the perpendicular cross sectional area over which the force is applied.
Types of stresses.... • Axial Compressive Stress- Tensile Stress-
....Types of stresses • Non Axial • Shear – Tends to resist the sliding of one portion of a body over another. • Torsion • Bending
STRAIN • Strain: change in length per unit original length when stress is applied; = Length / Original length • Strain(ε)= Deformation/Original length
Elastic Strain • Plastic Strain

...ELASTIC MODULUS
POISSON’S RATIO • Ratio of lateral to axial strain within the elastic range. • For an ideal isotropic material of constant volume the ratio is 0.5. • Most material have values of 0.3.
FLEXIBILITY • Ability of a material to return to its original form indicates its elasticity, but the strain taking place at elastic limit is known as flixibility. • Flexibility is bending capacity. • It can be defined as the strain that occurs when the material is stretched to its proportional limit.
RESILIENCE • Defined as the amount of energy absorbed within a unit volume of a structure when it is stressed to its proportional limit. • The property if often described as “springback potential.”

STRENGTH PROPERTIES • Proportional limit • Elastic limit • Yield strength • Diametral tensile strength • Flexural strength • Fatigue strength • Impact strength
Strength properties: • Strength is the stress that is necessary to cause fracture or a specified amount of plastic deformation.
PROPORTIONAL LIMIT • It is defined as the greatest stress that a material will sustain without a deviation from the linear proportionality of stress to strain.
ELASTIC LIMIT • The maximum stress that a material will withstand without permanent deformation.
YIELD STRENGTH • Defined as the stress at which a material exhibits a specified limiting deviation from proportionality of stress to strain. • It is the amount of stress required to produce a predetermined amount of permanent strain usually 0.1% or 0.2% which is called the Percent Offset.
For brittle materials such as composites and ceramic – Yield strength can not be measure. • YS indicates a degree of permanent deformation (usually 0.2%) Continue……
