__ ___
•__ and __ ___ ___
Diagnostic models in all the disciplines
Custom tray Is used to use with the final impression. You can use it just for that patient. Tray is made from preliminary impression that you have made previously
Provisional: clear material that inside you can
Thin egg shell or more complex
Provisional: Thin, clear material. Inside this material, you place a material to fill a temporary restoration. Temporary can be thin or more complex
Ortho Appliances: to make a minor movement or retainers
Pre and Post:
They take impression first day for diagnostic
At end of treatment they take another one to compare and keep it for legal purposes

Final impressions are used to fabricate ___ restorations: Crowns, bridges, inlays/onlays, partial dentures, complete dentures, implants, etc.
Must be of the ____accuracy
Must include ___ information required by the lab to fabricate the restoration
•
Indirect: take impression and send it to the lab
Top to bottom Pictures:
Single Crown or 3 unit bridge
RPD
Complete Denture
Implant: Take impression of impression post. Transfer that to a cast. The restoration can then be done in the lab
You can duplicate existing denture with alginate.

- Satisfactory consistency and texture
- Readily wets oral tissues
- Elastic properties with freedom from permanent deformation after strain
- Adequate strength so it will not break or tear on removal from the mouth
11.____l stability over ___ and ____ ranges normally found in clinical and laboratory procedures for a period ____ enough to permit the production of a cast
- Compatibility with ___ materials
- ___ in clinical use
•
11.Dimensional stability over temperature and humidity ranges normally found in clinical and laboratory procedures for a period long enough to permit the production of a cast
- Compatibility with cast materials
- Accuracy in clinical use
•
- Readily ___ without loss of )____
- No release of ____during the setting of the impression or cast

Alginates - Not Good for Crown and Bridges
- Low ___ strength
- Not ___ stable
- Less ___
- Won’t__ __
- ___ tray
The reasons are that
They have a low tear strength.
Very small film
When this film goes inside the sulcus and you remove it, almost always that small film is going to stay in the sulcus
If you are not aware of that, the patient can have some sort of gingivitis or abscess
When you take impression, Make sure to check and see that there is no material inside the sulcus
This is especially for the final product.
Large tray compared to custom

All of the brands are pretty much the same
Important thing for different brands is not to mix the brand cylinders
Use the cylinder for the brand that you are using
It will give you the right water/powder ratio
If not mix will be too runny or too grainy
On the right identic: 100 hr stability. (How soon you need to pour the cast)
That is true under special conditions
But it is very useful for Dentist iPL: That means Dentist who have a lab that is not inside the office
Take impression…Take iphone and call the lab to pick up the impression

Dustless:When you shake the container, the heavy product in the alginate goes to the bottom. So you can mix it and get a good quality of powder. Dustless means that when you open it the powder wont come at your face
Smaller Cans
Individual pouch. You can use part B as the water dispenser. Don’t need to worry about finding the right cylinder to measure the water
Mix: its one color. As it starts setting, it changes colors. It tells you that its ready to remove from the mouth
Accugel: ___ than the regular alginate. Used for some final impression in RP or complete dentures. Has better quality than regular alginate. Comes with a special tray to use with ___s patient. Comes with a syringe. You need someone to help you. Someone prepare the synringe material. Someone prepare the tray material.
This is the syringe. Place the material in there. White piece can be ___ if yyou are doing impression in the sulcus. If doing impression o ____ suface, use this piece so the material will go ___

Accugel: Better than the regular alginate. Used for some final impression in RP or complete dentures. Has better quality than regular alginate. Comes with a special tray to use with edentulous patient. Comes with a syringe. You need someone to help you. Someone prepare the synringe material. Someone prepare the tray material.
This is the syringe. Place the material in there. White piece can be removed if yyou are doing impression in the sulcus. If doing impression of occulsal surface, use this piece so the material will go straight
Chemistry of Hydrocolloids
- Sol phase - ___of___ particles dispersed in___
- Gel phase ____ of___ particles with ___ in spaces
- Irreversible gelation - gel forms by ____e chemical reaction
They get into a sol phase.
When you start mixing, it gets into a gel phase
Once material is in gel stage, this is irreversible. You can’t go back to powder
Chemistry of Hydrocolloids
- Sol phase - solution of colloidal particles dispersed in liquid
- Gel phase - framework of solid particles with liquid in spaces
- Irreversible gelation - gel forms by irreversible chemical reaction
They get into a sol phase.
When you start mixing, it gets into a gel phase
Once material is in gel stage, this is irreversible. You can’t go back to powder
Chemistry of Hydrocolloids
•____ - adsorption (___) of water, ___
•__\_ - continued reaction, ___, exudate ___ setting of gypsum
If you place impression in water for a long time, material will absorb the water forever. It will get bigger.
If you leave it out of water (on the bench), it will shrink bc its losing the water
Chemistry of Hydrocolloids
•Imbibition - adsorption (hydrophilic) of water, expansion
•Syneresis - continued reaction, shrinkage, exudate retards setting of gypsum
If you place impression in water for a long time, material will absorb the water forever. It will get bigger.
If you leave it out of water (on the bench), it will shrink bc its losing the water
