Prosthodontics Flashcards
(213 cards)
what is design transfer?
conveying the outline of the proposed prosthesis from the diagnostic cast to the master cast
importance of the surveyor?
- height of contour
- undercuts
- draw the clasps
- draw the connectors
tripoding is important for ?
path of insertion
what does each color represents?
- Brown: metallic portion
- Blue: resin finish lines
- Red: retentive areas and rests
what is waxout or blockout?
blocking the udesirable undercuts with wax
what are the 3 types of blackouts?
- Parallel
- Ledging (shaped)
- Arbitrary
what is the parallel blockout?
putting wax and trimming it parallel to the path of insertion
what is the ledging blockout?
- on the primary abutment
- In relation to a connector or clasp
- from the tooth surface extending the lower border
what is the arbitrary blockout?
- After finishing the other types of blackouts if there is any undercut or something we don’t need in the design for ex: soft tissue
- doesn’t have to be parallel to the path of insertion
define relief?
it is placing a wax sheet in strategic areas using a wax spacer
relief importance?
- Create a small space between the framework and cast or soft tissues
- relief tori and tender areas
- the most cool relief is associated with denture base.
what is beading
we do it in the maxillary by scraping for not more than 1 mm depth to limit the wax extension but we don’t do it on the mandibular because we don’t have a palate
what is the purpose of duplication?
- to preserve the cast from breaking
- To allow an investment (refractory) cast to be formed for framework fabrication
list the duplicating materials:
- colloidal ( heat=gel into liquid)
- sillicon material
if you used low heat alloy (gypsum bonded investment) which type of investment material you will use?
- reversible hydrocolloid with a water base
- burnout at 704
- like gold IV and ticonium ( cobalt -nickel - chromium ) which is the mostly used
if you used high heat alloy which type of investment material you will use?
- phosphate bonded investment and glycerine base colloid
- burn out at 1037
what is the importance of beeswax?
because the refractory cast is porous in nature everything we put will be absorbed so we dip it in the beeswax for 15 seconds to ensure smoothness.
before the actual waxing begins we take the measurements of the cast using ?
boles gauge
what is the most critical part of the transfer ?
the position of the clasp tip
what are the differences between casting waxes and plastic pattern?
*casting waxes:
- No specifications
- Maximum flow 10% for 35
- Minimum flow 60% for 38
*Plastic pattern
- Mostly used
- Require tacky liquid before placing it
Note:
when waxing the framework for a gold casting we use a heavier wax pattern because gold is lighter and we need heavier pattern to allow the gold to flow
what is the diameter for sprues?
3.5-4mm
what are the characteristics of a sprue?
it should be uniform without any angle because then it will block the flow
spring can be classified into?
- single
- multiple ( when the pattern is long)
