1. Which of the following materials has the highest linear coefficient of expansion? a. Amalgam b. Direct gold c. Tooth structure d. Composite resin

D. COMPOSITE RESIN

coefficient of thermal expansion (or contraction)

Tendency of matter to change in volume in response to a change in temperature.

If temperature If temperature

expansion. contraction.

Linear Coefficients of Thermal Expansion

Composite materials exhibit more dimensional change (4 times greater than tooth structure). Direct gold slightly higher than tooth structure, and Amalgam 2.5 times as high as tooth structure.

coefficient of thermal expansion from tooth structure during intraoral temperature changes.
