The wet ability of a solid by a liquid can beobserved by shape of a drop of a liquid on thesolid surface the shape of a solid is identifiedby the contact angle if a low contact angleoccurs the solid is wetted readily by the liquid

Biting forces
The average biting force of a person with
natural dentition is approximately 150pounds . In the posterior , that becomes
approximately 30,000 psi of pressure on asingle cusp of a molar.
Materials considered for use in restoring theocclusal surfaces must have sufficient

equal in magnitude but opposite in direction tothe external load; although technically theinternal force, this is difficult to measure and sothe accepted way of measuring stress is tomeasure the external load applied to the crosssectional area; measured in force per area unitssuch as kg/cm2, MPa (MN/m2), or psi; isrepresented by the Greek letter, sigma.

Strain = Change in Length/Original Length Strain can either be elastic or plastic. Elastic
strain is strain that totally disappears once theexternal load that caused it is removed. Elasticstrain is based upon the fact that a net force of zero exists between two atoms when they are atequilibrium.
If a compressive or tensile force is exerted on theatoms, an opposite force will attempt to movethem back to their equilibrium position.

Plastic strain is strain that permanently
remains once the external load that caused it
is removed. It occurs when the force appliedto the atoms moves them so far from their
equilibrium position that they do not returnto it once the force is removed.

Many of the basic physical properties of
dental materials can be represented on a

the stress-strain diagram, the modulus isindicated by the slope of the linear part of theline.

is the amount of stress required to producepermanent deformation of a material; canalternatively be defined as the limit of proportionality
of stress to strain; is represented on the stress-straindiagram as the point where the plotting converts froma straight line to a curve. Below the proportional limit,stress is proportional to strain. Stresses below theproportional limit cause elastic (non-permanent)déformation and those above it cause elastic andplastic (permanent) deformation.
A high proportional limit is desirable for a restorativematerial.

is the amount of stress required to produce apredetermined amount of permanent strain (usually0.1% or 0.2% which is called the percent offset).Although many feel it is equivalent to proportionallimit, it is a useful property because it is easier tomeasure than the proportional limit. This is becauseyou are already a certain way out on the stress-straincurve and are not attempting to measure the exactpoint where proportionality of stress to strain ends. Itis measured using the stress-strain diagram bylocating the point 0.1% or 0.2% out on the strain axisand drawing a line up to the curve which is parallel tothe line found in the elastic region.

is the maximum amount of stress that a

compressive, tensile, or shear stresses (i.e.,compressive strength is the maximum

is the amount of stress required to produce

DUCTILITY is the ability of a material to undergo
permanent tensile deformation withoutfracture or rupture, or the degree to which
you can permanently deform a structureusing a tensile force without it undergoing

An increase in temperature decreases ductilitybecause a material's strength generallydecreases with an increase in temperature.
Ductility is unrelated to proportional limit. Oneway that ductility is used in dentistry is as ameasure of burnish ability. The burnish abilityindex is defined as the percentage elongation
divided by the yield strength. Therefore, thegreater the ductility and the lower the yieldstrength, the greater the burnish ability.

An increase in temperature generally results in aincrease in malleability because malleability isdependent upon dislocation movement, anddislocations generally move more easily at ahigher temperature.

is the material behavior where a materialundergoes fracture or rupture with little or noprior permanent deformation. Materials that are
brittle usually have a very ordered atomicstructure which does not permit the easymovement of dislocations. A good example isthe class of materials known as ceramics. Their

Fatigue
occurs when fatigue from cyclic loading
causes cracks to develop under thecontacting surfaces; the sliding action then
causes the surfaces to be lost.
Corrosive occurs when two contacting
surfaces corrode and the sliding action causesthe corrosion by-products to be worn away.

Adhesive occurs when asperities
(microscopic projections) from the two

depends upon their previous shear history. In
other words, if you shear them, their viscositywill decrease; if you then allow them to
