  2. Dental material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_material

    Amalgam is a metallic filling material composed from a mixture of mercury (from 43% to 54%) and a powdered alloy made mostly of silver, tin, zinc and copper, commonly called the amalgam alloy. [16] Amalgam does not adhere to tooth structure without the aid of cements or use of techniques which lock in the filling, using the same principles as a ...

  3. Dental restoration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_restoration

    The cost of the restoration is typically cheaper than composite restorations. Disadvantages of amalgam include poor aesthetic qualities due to its colour. Amalgam does not bond to tooth easily, hence it relies on mechanical forms of retention. Examples of this are undercuts, slots/grooves or root canal posts.

  4. Inlays and onlays - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inlays_and_onlays

    Sometimes, a tooth is planned to be restored with an intracoronal restoration, but the decay or fracture is so extensive that a direct restoration, such as amalgam or composite, would compromise the structural integrity of the restored tooth or provide substandard opposition to occlusal (i.e., biting) forces. In such situations, an indirect ...

  5. Dental composite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_composite

    Unlike amalgam, which just fills a hole and relies on the geometry of the hole to retain the filling, composite materials are bonded to the tooth. In order to achieve the necessary geometry to retain an amalgam filling, the dentist may need to drill out a significant amount of healthy tooth material.

  6. Economics of plastics processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economics_of_Plastics...

    The adoption of reusable plastic containers will amount to an approximate annual increase of 0.058 euros/kg of delivered goods. [6] The cost associated with reusable plastic containers are packaging purchasing costs, transportation costs, labor/handling costs, management costs, and costs resulting from losses. [6]

  7. Root canal treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_canal_treatment

    A root treated tooth may be eased from the occlusion as a measure to prevent tooth fracture prior to the cementation of a crown or similar restoration. Sometimes the dentist performs preliminary treatment of the tooth by removing all of the infected pulp of the tooth and applying a dressing and temporary filling to the tooth.

  8. Bone healing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_healing

    Bone healing, or fracture healing, is a proliferative physiological process in which the body facilitates the repair of a bone fracture. Generally, bone fracture treatment consists of a doctor reducing (pushing) displaced bones back into place via relocation with or without anaesthetic, stabilizing their position to aid union, and then waiting ...

  9. Deformation (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deformation_(engineering)

    By convention, the strain is set to the horizontal axis and stress is set to vertical axis. Note that for engineering purposes we often assume the cross-section area of the material does not change during the whole deformation process. This is not true since the actual area will decrease while deforming due to elastic and plastic deformation.
