MAKING AN ALGINATE IMPRESSION (7)

A
  1. THE MEASURED POWDER IS SIFTED INTO PREMEASURED WATER THAT
    HAS ALREADY BEEN POURED INTO A CLEAN RUBBER BOWL.
  2. THE POWDER IS INCORPORATED INTO THE WATER BY CAREFULLY
    MIXING WITH A METAL OR PLASTIC SPATULA THAT IS SUFFICIENTLY
    FLEXIBLE TO ADAPT WELL TO THE WALL OF THE MIXING BOWL. ALL OF
    THE POWDER MUST BE DISSOLVED.
  3. THE RESULT SHOULD BE A SMOOTH, CREAMY MIXTURE THAT
    DOES NOT READILY DRIP OFF THE SPATULA WHEN IT IS RAISED
    FROM THE BOWL.
  4. BEFORE SEATING THE IMPRESSION, THE MATERIAL SHOULD HAVE
    DEVELOPED SUFFICIENT BODY SO THAT IT WILL NOT FLOW OUT OF
    THE TRAY AND GAG THE PATIENT.
  5. THE MIXTURE IS PLACED IN A SUITABLE TRAY, WHICH IS THEN
    PLACED IN THE MOUTH. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE IMPRESSION
    ADHERE AND BE RETAINED TO THE TRAY SO THAT THE
    IMPRESSION CAN BE WITHDRAWN FROM AROUND THE TEETH.
  6. ALGINATE IS VERY WEAK; THEREFORE THE TRAY MUST
    FIT THE PATIENT’S ARCH SO THAT THERE IS A
    SUFFICIENT BULK OF MATERIAL. THE THICKNESS OF THE
    ALGINATE IMPRESSION BETWEEN THE TRAY AND THE
    TISSUES SHOULD BE AT LEAST 3 MM.
  7. ALGINATE HYDROCOLLOID MATERIALS ARE STRAIN-
    RATE DEPENDENT. THUS THE TEAR STRENGTH IS
    INCREASED WHEN THE IMPRESSION IS REMOVED
    WITH A SNAP.

Q

DIFFERENT — FORMS OF GYPSUM HAVE BEEN USED FOR
CENTURIES FOR CONSTRUCTION PURPOSES AND FOR MAKING
ARTIFACTS.

A

CRYSTALLINE

38
Q

GYPSUM PRODUCTS ARE USED IN DENTISTRY FOR THE

A

PREPARATION OF STUDY MODELS FOR ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL
STRUCTURES AND AS IMPORTANT AUXILIARY MATERIALS FOR
DENTAL LABORATORY OPERATIONS THAT ARE INVOLVED IN THE
PRODUCTION OF DENTAL PROSTHESES.

Q

WHEN PLASTER IS MIXED WITH FILLERS, SUCH AS DIFFERENT

FORMS OF SILICA, IT IS KNOWN AS A

A

GYPSUM DENTAL

INVESTMENT

40
Q

THE PRINCIPAL CONSTITUENT OF GYPSUM-BASED PRODUCTS SUCH

AS DENTAL PLASTERS AND STONES IS

A

CALCIUM SULFATE

HEMIHYDRATE

41
Q

VARIOUS GYPSUM PRODUCTS REQUIRE DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF
WATER AND THESE DIFFERENCES ARE ACCOUNTED FOR
PRINCIPALLY BY THE

A

SHAPE AND COMPACTNESS OF THE
CRYSTALS. THESE FACTORS ARE REGULATED BY THE
MANUFACTURER

42
Q

THE — THEORY PROPOSES THAT WHEN MIXED WITH
WATER, PLASTER ENTERS INTO THE COLLOIDAL STATE
THROUGH A SOL-GEL MECHANISM.

A

COLLOIDAL

43
Q

THE — THEORY SUGGESTS THAT REHYDRATED
PLASTER PARTICLES JOIN TOGETHER THROUGH HYDROGEN
BONDING TO THE SULFATE GROUPS TO FORM THE SET
MATERIAL.

A

HYDRATION

44
Q

HOWEVER, THE MOST WIDELY ACCEPTED MECHANISM IS THE — — THEORY BASED ON DISSOLUTION OF PLASTER AND INSTANT RECRYSTALLIZATION OF GYPSUM, FOLLOWED BY INTERLOCKING OF THE CRYSTALS TO FORM THE SET SOLID

A

DISSOLUTION PRECIPITATION

45
Q

THE SETTING REACTION OF GYPSUM OCCURS BY: (4)

A

DISSOLUTION OF CALCIUM SULFATE HEMIHYDRATE

FORMATION OF A SATURATED SOLUTION OF CALCIUM SULFATE

AGGREGATION OF LESS SOLUBLE CALCIUM SULFATE DIHYDRATE, AND

PRECIPITATION OF THE DIHYDRATE CRYSTALS.

46
Q

THE – RATIO IS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN DETERMINING
THE PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF THE FINAL
GYPSUM PRODUCT.

THE POWDER TO THE WATER UNTIL THE MIXING
IS COMPLETED.

50
Q

WORKING TIME (WT)

A

WORKING TIME IS THE TIME AVAILABLE TO USE A
WORKABLE MIX, ONE THAT MAINTAINS A UNIFORM
CONSISTENCY TO PERFORM ONE OR MORE TASKS.

51
Q

SETTING TIME (ST)

A

THE TIME THAT ELAPSES FROM THE BEGINNING OF MIXING

UNTIL THE MATERIAL HARDENS

52
Q

PROBABLY THE MOST EFFECTIVE AND PRACTICAL METHOD FOR

CONTROLLING THE SETTING TIME IS THE

A

ADDITION OF CERTAIN
CHEMICAL MODIFIERS TO THE MIXTURE OF PLASTER OR DENTAL
STONE.

53
Q

IF THE CHEMICAL ADDED DECREASES THE SETTING TIME, IT IS
KNOWN AS AN—; IF IT INCREASES THE SETTING TIME, IT
IS KNOWN AS A —

A

accelerator

retarder

54
Q

THE CRYSTALLIZATION PROCESS IS PICTURED AS AN

A

OUTGROWTH OF CRYSTALS FROM NUCLEI OF
CRYSTALLIZATION. ON THE BASIS OF THE ENTANGLEMENT OF
THE DIHYDRATE CRYSTALS, CRYSTALS GROWING FROM THE
NUCLEI CAN INTERMESH WITH AND OBSTRUCT THE GROWTH
OF ADJACENT CRYSTALS.

57
Q

SETTING EXPANSION MUST BE CONTROLLED TO OBTAIN THE

DESIRED — IN DENTAL APPLICATIONS.

A

ACCURACY

58
Q

THE MOST EFFECTIVE METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SETTING
EXPANSION IS THROUGH THE ADDITION OF CHEMICALS BY THE
MANUFACTURER. THE SETTING EXPANSION CAN BE REDUCED
BY ADDING EITHER (3)

A

POTASSIUM SULFATE, SODIUM CHLORIDE,

OR BORAX.

59
Q

IMPRESSION PLASTER (TYPE I) (2)

A

COMPOSED OF PLASTER OF PARIS, TO WHICH MODIFIERS
HAVE BEEN ADDED TO REGULATE THE SETTING TIME AND
THE SETTING EXPANSION.
RARELY USED ANYMORE FOR DENTAL IMPRESSIONS.

60
Q

MODEL PLASTER (TYPE II) (2)

A

IT IS USUALLY MARKETED IN THE NATURAL WHITE COLOR,
THUS CONTRASTING WITH STONES THAT ARE GENERALLY
COLORED.
TYPE II MODEL PLASTER IS RELATIVELY WEAK
AS EVIDENCED BY A COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH AS LOW
AS 9 MPA AND A TENSILE STRENGTH OF 0.6 MPA.

61
Q

DENTAL STONE (TYPE III)

A

TYPE III STONES ARE PREFERRED FOR CASTS USED
TO PROCESS DENTURES, BECAUSE THE STONE HAS
ADEQUATE STRENGTH FOR THAT PURPOSE AND THE
DENTURE IS EASIER TO REMOVE AFTER PROCESSING.

62
Q

DENTAL STONE, HIGH STRENGTH (TYPE IV)

A

 A HARD SURFACE IS NECESSARY FOR A DIE STONE,
BECAUSE THE CAVITY PREPARATION IS FILLED WITH
WAX THAT IS CARVED FLUSH WITH THE MARGINS OF
THE DIE.

63
Q

DENTAL STONE, HIGH STRENGTH, HIGH EXPANSION (TYPE V)

A

THE TYPE V DENTAL STONE GYPSUM PRODUCT EXHIBITS
AN EVEN HIGHER COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH THAN DOES
THE TYPE IV DENTAL STONE.

64
Q

THE SETTING EXPANSION HAS BEEN INCREASED FROM A MAXIMUM OF (TYPE V)

A

0.10% TO 0.30%.

65
Q

THE RATIONALE FOR THE INCREASE IN SETTING EXPANSION

LIMITS IS THAT

A

CERTAIN NEWER ALLOYS, SUCH AS BASE
METAL, HAVE A GREATER CASTING SHRINKAGE THAN DO THE
TRADITIONAL NOBLE METAL ALLOYS. THUS HIGHER EXPANSION
IS REQUIRED IN THE STONE USED FOR THE DIE TO AID IN
COMPENSATING FOR THE ALLOY SOLIDIFICATION SHRINKAGE.
