Abstract:
Occurrences of phenomena such as creep, flow, proportional limit, yield or aqueous sorption, among others, are responsible for the success of failure of treatments performed in daily dental practice; their full understanding will allow the dentist to explain unexpected and undesirable performance of materials, instruments and equipment. With this purpose, the Standards for Dental Materials, Instruments and Equipment were created to specify the requirements these products must fulfill in order to assure an adequate performance. The first of these Standards is discussed in the present article, in view of its great clinical significance.
