Abstract

The study on physical properties of biomaterials now-a-days plays an important role in understanding the
nature and its constituents. On one hand, their importances in medical field leading to diagnosis of a particular
disease and on another hand bio-material are commercially important in daily life. In view of the importance of
biomaterials the researchers thought that it is worthwhile to pursue research on Physical properties of
biomaterials. In the present investigation dielectric studies on Acrylic resin, Alginate, Dental plaster, Dental
stone, Glass ionomer and Silver Amalgams dental materials were taken up to study the various dielectric
parameters like dielectric constant, dielectric loss and electrical conductivity, which show significant difference
from one material to another material. Dielectric parameters are very sensitive to moisture content, mineral
content in the material. The results of the present investigation are critically discussed in terms of its
biocompatibility.
