9/27 Recorded Lecture: Tissue Management & Recording Impressions Flashcards
TF? Elastomeric material that has set remains elastic.
T
What to include in crown impression
Adjacent teeth and tissue surrounding those teeth
All elastomeric material are hydrophobic except:
polyethers
Means to increase sulcus size to take impressions:
mech, chem, or surgical
These can lead to permanent soft tissue damage, ie recession:
improper manipulation of impression material, poor tissue displacement technique
3 prerequisites to successful impression taking:
healthy tissue, saliva control, …
Ways to maintain tissue health:
control pd, careful prep, interim resto
Methods of saliva control:
cotton rolls placed by ducts, moisture absorbing cards, flange-type evacuator, e.g., Svedopter (speejector), retractors), la, anti-sialagogic meds
Antisialogogic meds:
ABCH: atropine, bromide, clonidine, hypochloride
How does la effect saliva control?
blockage of impulses from the pdl, considerable reduction
Sulcus will remain open this long after cord removal/ mechanical retraction:
30s
how to surgically remove small amts of tissue:
scalpel, electrosurgery or laser
What is being stretched cord placement?
periodontal circumferential fibers
Means of tissue displacement w impregnated cord:
mechanico-chemical retraction
Cord placement is easier using:
braided or knitted cord
How long to leave cord in and when to take out:
5 min, directly before taking the impression
3 types of cords
BTK: braided twisted, and kneaded
Cord types for mech displacement:
twisted, knitted
Cord is impregnated with:
epi or aluminum potassium sulfate
Alternative to cord packing:
paste system, contains aluminum chloride
2 names for cord without chemical:
plain, non-impregnated
One cord remains in sulcus when using this technique:
double cord technique
List the 5 cord thicknesses:
000, 00, 0, 1, 2
What determine the size cord to use?
sulcus depth, tooth location
Benefit of twisted cord:
can customize cord, ind strands can be removed
Issue w using braided cord:
can double up and bc too thick & cause gingival trauma
compressible cord type:
knitted
Cord types we use in clinic:
braided and knitted
