Applied Dental Materials Flashcards
What hazards are associated with bisohenol A resin ?
Caused some oestrogen like effects in mice
Bisohenol a is ingredient in composites but not nowadays
Can be a breakdown product of bis gma or bis dma
No evidence that bisohenol a is harmful to humans
What hazards are associated with methyl methacrylate ?
Monomer in acrylic resin can penetrate gloves in minutes
What types of adverse reactions to gloves can occur ?
Contact dermatitis, anaphylaxis, sensitisation, respiratory symptoms
What hazards are associated with light curing units ?
High intensity light curing units
Some white light units emit UVA light (not diode lights)
What is gypsum ?
Calcium sulphate dihydrate
CaSo4.2H2O
What controls the setting expansion of gypsum ?
Potassium sulphate
Sodium chloride
Borax
What controls the setting time of gypsum ?
Potassium sulphate Sodium chloride Borax Potassium citrate Gypsum 20%
What effect does additional water have on gypsum ?
Extends the setting time but produces a weaker mix
What effect does increased spatulation have on gypsum ?
Decreases setting time but increases expansion
