Q

How can hydrocolloids expand?

A

Imbibition: expansion after 10 min

26
Q

How can polysulfide, polyether expand?

A

Potential expansion, increase exposure time

27
Q

What are current digital impression systems?

A

CEREC primescane, omnicam or bluecam
Itero element
LAVA true definition scanner

28
Q

What is the gypsum produced for dental applications?

A

Pure calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO4)

29
Q

What are gypsum products used in dentistry for?

A

Preparation of study models for oral and maxillofacial structures and is important auxiliary materials for dental lab operations that are involved in the production of dental prostheses

30
Q

When plaster is mixed with fillers, such as different forms of silica, it is known as __________

A

Gypsum dental investment

31
Q

What is the principal constituent of gypsum based products such as dental platers and stones?

A

Calcium sulfate hemihydrate

32
Q

Various gypsum products require different amount of water and these differences are accounted for pincipally by _______ and _______

A

Shape and compactness of the crystals (regualted by manufacturer)

33
Q

What does the colloidal theory propose?

A

When mixed with water, plaster enters into the colloidal state through a sol-gel mechanism

34
Q

What does the hydration theory suggest?

A

Rehydrated plaster particles join together through hydrogen bonding to the sulfate groups to form the set material

35
Q

What is the most widely accepted mechanism for setting gypsum?

A

Dissolution-precipitation theory

36
Q

What is the dissolution precipitation theory based on?

A

Dissolution of plaster and instant recrystallization of gypsum, followed by interlocking of the crystals to form the set solid

37
Q

The setting reaction of gypsum occurs by:

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

38
Q

What is mixing time defined as?

A

Time from the addition of the powder to the water until the mixing is completed

39
Q

Mechanical mixing of stones and palsters is usually completed in _______ sec

A

20-30

40
Q

What is working time?

A

The time available to use a workable mix, one that maintains a uniform consistency to perform one or two tasks

41
Q

What is setting time?

A

The time that elapses from the beginning of mixing until the material hardens

42
Q

What is the most effective and practical method for contorlling the setting time?

A

Addition of certain chemical modifiers to the mixture of plaster or dental stone

43
Q

If the chemical added decreases the setting time it is known as an ______

A

Accelerator

44
Q

If the chemical added increases the setting time it is known as an ______

A

Retarder

45
Q

What is the crystallization process?

A

Outgrowth of crystals from nuclei of crystallization

46
Q

When sufficient crystals form to produce the outward thrust by impingement, _____________ follows

A

Setting expansion

47
Q

What is the most effective method for controlling the setting expansion?

A

Through the addition of chemicals by the manufacturer

48
Q

How can setting expansion be reduced?

A

By adding either potassium sulfate, sodium chloride, or borax

49
Q

What are the two types off gypsum?

A

Impression plaster (type I)
Model plaster (type II)
Dental stone (type III)
Dental stone, high strength (Type IV)
Dental stone, high strength, high expansion (Type V)

50
Q

What is impression plaster composed of?

A

Plaster of paris to which modifiers have been added to regulate the setting time and setting expansion
**rarely used anymore for dental impressions

51
Q

What is model plaster marketed as?

A

Natural white color, thus contrasting with stones that are generally colored

52
Q

What is the strength of model plaster?

A

Relatively weak as evidenced by a compressive strength as low as 9MPA and a tensile strength of 0.6MPA

53
Q

What stones are preferred for casts used to process dentures? why?

A

Type III; the stone has adequate strength for that purpose and the denture is easier to remove after processing

54
Q

What surface is necessary for a die stone (dental stone, high strength type IV)? Why?

A

Hard; The cavity preparation is filled with wax that is carved flush with the margins of the die

55
Q

What dental stone product exhibits an even higher compressive strength than type IV stone?

A

Type V stone

56
Q

What is the setting expansion of type V?

A

Increased from a maximum of 0.10% to 0.30%

57
Q

What is the rationale for the increase in setting expansino limits?

A

The 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 compensation for the alloy soldification shrinkage

58
Q

What is maximum intercuspation?

A

All the teeth contact in a stable way

59
Q

What is centric relation?

A

First contact when leaf guage is in place on the anterior teeth

60
Q

Where is the condyle in centric relation?

A

Most anterior-superior position
