L5- Impressions Flashcards
(132 cards)
die and why
positive reproduction of prepared teeth in a suitable accurate hard substrate
need because
- accurate representation of the tooth preparation and adjacent structure
- die must be strong enough to withstand the fabrication process
requirements for die material
accurate
dimensionally stable
minimum setting contractions and expansions
fine detail reproduction
good impression requires
- tooth prep that follow biomechanical principles
- carefult soft tissue management
- knowledge of the handling properties of the impresion material
- avoiding common problems
biologic width
1mm for
1mm for
plus?
1mm for connective tissue
1mm of junctional epithelium
plus 1 to 2 mm of tooth structure for the crown margin placement and terminiation
ferrule requirements
requires 2mm BEYOND a core material finish line
ferrule requirements
requires 2mm BEYOND a core material finish line
mechanical displacement he highlighted
knitted – ultradent – type of cord used
breakdown of careful soft tissue management
- mechanical- often most common - like PLACING cord
- hemostasis in the sulcus
- tissue removal
Most popular form of retraction
mechanical dispalcemnt
small 000-00 use?
anterior with thin tissue areas – lower cord in 2 technique
medium 0-1
osterior - lower cord in 2 cord technique - premolar - molar
large 2-3
uper cord in 2 cord technique - thick gingiva
UP cords thickness from thinness to largest?
0.5 - 1.4mm
first cord is?
smaller in diameter and equal or slightly less in length than the circumference of the tooth
second cord is? - in general
larger than first
prior to light bodty impression material?
only the second cord is removed
first cord must?
secure in the sulcus and exposes the finish line
correct cord placement
tucking it in - general
leave cord in for how long?
5-10 minutes
leave enough length of cord to easily capture with cotton pliers
cord he suggests
knitted - ultradent
twisted cord
tends to be separated by the packing instrument and it has BIAS AND MEMORY
- first cord should disappear into sulcus
braided cord
is RIGID macking the packing into the sulcus challenging
has memory
knitted cord
more flexible and exerts an outward pressure once placed
will hold more hemostatic solution
NO MEMORY
easier to place
place and leave for 3-8 minutes
retarction and sulcular width - study?
Laufer et al - affect of marginal thicknesss on the distortion of different impression materials
“sulcus must be of enough width for the impression material”
0.2 mm SULCUS WIDTH IS MINIMUM REQUIRED
