Q

What is the The ideal relationship of a stock tray to the sulci and denture-bearing mucosa?

A

a stock tray should cover the entire denture-bearing area and allow a uniform space of a few millimetres in between it and the underlying mucosa

20
Q

What is the size of clearance with soft tissues when using stock tray?

A

3 - 5 mm

21
Q

What is the requirment for maxillary tray?

31
Q

2 factors that influence the working and setting time

A
  1. Water temperature
  2. Powder: liquid
32
Q

Troubleshooting alginate impression

A
  1. Premature set (hot water)
  2. Slow set (cold water)
  3. Voids (air bubbles with the mixing)
  4. Distortion (not accurate as may be we remove the impression while it still liquid)
  5. Excess alginate at back of tray (may be more alginate is placed)
33
Q

Before the detures are made, what does a dentist need to do?

A

The dentist need to take dental conditions involving the oral mucosa and bone into account.
-> Why? to improve the condition of the mouth so that it is in the optimum state to receive the new prostheses

34
Q

3 steps in patient preparatiion before the impression

A
  • Correct position of the dental chair and patient
  • Dry the mucosa
  • Don’t let patient close
35
Q

How to mesure powder of impression material?

A
  1. Shake the powder
  2. Use 3 scoops of syringe impressions
36
Q

2 steps when taking primary impression

A
  1. Find the correct position of the dental chair and patient
  2. Support the tray during setting - do not leave patient move (otherwise, it will cause distortion)
37
Q

Things to consider when storing primary impression

A

Stored in a moist environment to avoid loss of water evaporation and deformation
