8/22 - Retraction cord, Pindex Refresher, Impression Materials (Heavy Emphasis), S5-S8 Flashcards
S5-S8 in above decks
are we doing single or double retraction cord
single
about how much a retraction cord do we initially cut off
2 inches
placement of retraction cord is begun by pushing it where
sulcus on the mesial surface of the tooth. can also be tacked lightly into distal crevice
what are common problems students have when packing cord
- angulation
- packing too much cord at a time
what angle should cord be packed
30-45 degrees
what happens if the force of the instrument is directed away from area previously packed
cord already packed will be pulled outo
what to do if cord is not going in when packing
recheck angle
can you hold the cord with one instrument and packing it with a second instrment
YES
when packing, the instrment should be angled where
towards the root
what happens to the retraction cord if the instrument is held parallel to the long axis of the tooth
retraction cord will be pushed against the wall of the gingival crevice and will rebound
what is the thinnest retraction cord
000
T/F: it’s okay if the retraction cord just goes on side of margin. it does not need to physically go in.
FALSE! needs to physically go in
what to do with extra cord
cut it out or keep looping around
how long to keep retraction cord in
5-10 minutes
do you numb patient when placing retraction cord
YES
hardrock cast has ___ mm bevel
3 mm
how thick is hardrock cast B-L and O-G
15-18mm
short pins [lingual, buccal]
long pins [lingual, buccal]
short = lingual
long = facial
what side of pins enter stone, short or long
SHORT
gray sleeves on [short, long] pins
black sleeves on [short, long] pins
gray = short
black = long
how much flowstone to add
barely cover apical part of bevel
how many mm extension of flow stone
3-4 mm
how to trim die: start at occlusal or gingival
gingival
common mistakes when taking impressions
- voids and bubbles
- separation from tray
- embedded retraction cord
- prep debris
what does “the greater the contact angle, the greater the probability of air entrapment during pouring” in regard to
wettability
what do we look at when comparing the different types of ipressions
wettability and cost
large angle [bad, good] wetting
bad wetting/hydrophobic
acute angle [bad, good] wetting
good/hydrophilic
does hydrophilic or hydrophobic have a higher incidence of voids and is more readily repelled by hemorrhage or moisture in the gingival sulucs
phobic
is polysulfide, PVS, and condensation silicone hydrophilic or hydrophobic
phobic
what is effective in reducing both the contact angle and the number of voids trapped in resuling cast
surfactant
is hydrophilic or hydrophobic have a lower incidence of voids and more able to withstand hemorrhage or other moisture in gingival sulcus
hydrophilic
is hydrophilic or phobic less resistant to wetting by gypsum
hydrophilic
are revesible hydrocolloid, irreversible hydrocolloid and polyether hydrophilic or hydrophobic
hydrophilic
what is the decrease viscosity of the material under shear load
shear thinning
