yes. it is looser

sugar causes gelatinous texture

37
Q
how to polish amalgam 
a. pressure
b.speed
abrasive agents wet/dry
air or no
A

Use light, intermittent pressure with rotary instruments
Use slow to moderate speed with rotary instruments
Use abrasive agents that are wet
Use compressed air directed at the amalgam surface during polishing

38
Q

2 reasons heating amalgam is dangerous

A

heat to pulp

mercury to surface

39
Q

order of smoothing amalgam

A

Smooth occlusal cavosurface margins

  1. Smooth occlusal surface
  2. Smooth interproximal cavosuface margin and surface
  3. Smooth buccal and lingual surfaces
40
Q

define

a. flashing

b. ditching

A

Flashing:excess of amalgam which extends over the cavosurface margin of the cavity preparation
b. ditching is a deficiency of amalgam along the margin, preventing the margin of the cavity preparation from being flush

etc (always capitulate with 1 file size smaller)
42
Q

44
Q

reasons for incomplete casting when constructing gold crowns

A

Pattern positioned incorrectly to allow gases to escape
Incomplete wax elmination
Incorrect investment W/P ratio
Insufficient casting pressure
Pattern damage during investing stage
Sprue becoming unattached from wax pattern

45
Q

common reasons for surface roughness when casting gold crown

A
roughness= TOO MUCH (pressure/ temp/ surface tension)
Breakdown of investment 
Overheating of alloy
Excessive casting pressure
Incorrect investment W/P ratio
Surface tension reducing agent not used

*not enough –> incomplete casting
too much –> surface roughness

46
Q

order of processes in casting FVG

A
  1. Make a thermoplastic coping to fit the die by pushing the die through heated blanks into the putty well to mould
  2. Mark 1 mm above the margin of the preparation using a marker, then cut the cap using scissors
  3. Apply separating medium to surface of die, replace cap and using blue inlay wax around the preparation margin to ensure a close marginal fit of the crown
  4. Using the PKT waxing method wax up the crown reproducing the anatomy including the cusps and marginal ridges and axial contours by wax addition (PKT)
  5. Sprue the wax pattern to the thickest section of the pattern and secure into the crucible former
  6. Invest the wax pattern (INVESTING IS GOLD ONLY, NOT PORCELAIN)
  7. Place the casting ring into a furnace and slowly bring to the correct temperature to allow burn out of the wax
  8. Cast the molten alloy using centrifugal or induction casting machine
  9. Allow investment to cool before quenching in cold water, and devesting
  10. Remove the sprue close to the casting using a high speed grinding wheel
  11. Check the fit surface for debris or nodules using a small round bur if necessary
  12. Create a highly polished gold restoration using rotary instruments
47
Q

PFM: reasons for irregularities in the casting alloy during the casting process?

A
Investment heated too rapidly
Investment heated too slowly 
insufficient investment around wax pattern 
Length of sprue used
Metal over/underheated 
Debris in the investment mould
48
Q

anterior PFM lab stages

A
  1. Construct accurate sectional model from impression and check occlusion with opposing arch
  2. A wax shape is made of the core substructure for the crown leaving space for the porcelain
  3. The wax pattern is sprued, and invested in a casting ring
  4. Molten metal is cast into the mould
  5. Sprue is removed
  6. Metal surface is prepared ready to add the porcelain
  7. Opaque porcelain is applied over the metal coping to mask the metal
  8. The opque porcelain is placed in a furnace
