Dental Materials
The recommended force for condensing a composite resin using a 0.5 mm diameter condenser nib is 3.75 pounds. This force is considered optimal and is well within the physiologic limits of the tooth.
Dental Materials
Small quantities of camphorquinone, typically less than 0.2 wt%, are sufficient to initiate the polymerization process when the composite resin is exposed to blue light.
Prosthodontics
A closed horse-shoe major connector provides increased rigidity and support for long-span distal extension bases in removable partial dentures. It helps distribute forces evenly and enhances the stability of the prosthesis.
