Example of Inelastic Imp matl
Plaster of paris
used as impression plaster before
Example of ELASTIC Imp Matls
Colloidal soln
Zoe
Imp compound
Elastomers
Reversible hydrocolloids used in lab for duplication. From seaweeds.
Agar agar
BQ: Imp material that uses specialized equipment
Agar
Unique property of agar agar.
—ability of matl to change its form based on temperature
(Liquefaction/gelation)
Hysteresis
Property of agar agar to absorb water = expansion
Imbibition
Property of agar agar to release water = shrinks
Syneresis
BQ: Principal content of agar agar
Water
Hardener of agar agar
Borax
Least exp/cheapest imp matl
Fastest setting time
LEAST DIMENSIONALLY STABLE
Alginate or Irreversible hydrocolloids
BQ: Flexites is made of
Nylon
BQ: Major reactor of alginate
Sodium alginate or Potassium Alginate
Reactor of alginate
Calcium sulfate
BQ: Filler of Alginate
(Sa boards: SILICA!!!!)
* diatomaceous earth
Retarder of alginate
Sodium phosphate
BQ: Principal component of alginate
Diatomaceous earth
“Set alginate”
Calcium alginate
Ways to DECREASE SETTING TIME (faster set)
Inc water temp (hot/warm)
Mix rapidly (more friction=more heat)
Decrease water:powder ratio (thick)
BQ: what happens if you add a drop of liquid in ZOE
Decrease setting time (faster set)
BQ: Eugenol is derived from what oil?
Oil of cloves
Has obtundent effect on pulp; used for tx of dry socket
Eugenol
What are contraindicated with RESINS
Cavity varnish
Eugenol
BQ: How many coats of cavity varnish applied
1-2 coats
BQ: How long will the cavity varnish seal dentinal tubules
Short term
