Q

Rank these materials from low shrinkage to high - polyether, PVS, polysulfide, condensation silicones

A

Polyether < PVS < Polysulfides < Condensation silicones (which is why they need to be poured immediately)

  3. Stable, mutually protected occlusion
  4. Tray does not interfere with closing
  5. Must have posterior stop distal to tooth
19
Q

What is the goal of a final impression in fixed?

A

To capture the contours of the unprepared tooth apical to the preparation margin as well as all teeth in the arch and the soft tissues immediately surrounding the tooth prep

20
Q

ViscoStat functions through which chemical? How does it work? Acidic?

A

Fe2(SO4)3 - ferric sulfate
Precipitates blood proteins on contact
Very acidic (can cause tissue damage)

21
Q
