DENTAL MATERIALS ACTUAL
EXAM 2025/2026 QUESTIONS
AND 100% CORRECT ANSWERS
Metal alloy of Mercury - CORRECT ANSWER-Amalgam
Mettals that are a combination of several elements - CORRECT
ANSWER-Alloy
Working time - CORRECT ANSWER-time that is needed to
condense and carve
, Lathe-cut alloy - CORRECT ANSWER-grinding an ingot of metal
to produce fillings
Spherical alloy - CORRECT ANSWER-spray molten metal into an
inert atmosphere, the droplets as they cool
Admixed or blended alloys - CORRECT ANSWER-combination of
both lathe-cut and spherical particles
Amalgam alloy - CORRECT ANSWER-the silver-tin powdered
metal with mercury and is used to restore teeth
Advantages to amalgam - CORRECT ANSWER-- toughness &
wear resistance
- long lasting & cost effective
- seals margins during service reducing micro leakage
- least technique-sensitive permanent restorative material
(might even work when placed in wet environment)
