Q

Four things the correct size of the tray must accomplish:

A

– Comfortable for the patient
– Extend slightly beyond the facial services of the teeth
-Extends approximately 2-3 mm on the third molar, retromolar, or tuberosity area of the arch
-is sufficiently deep enough to allow the material 2-3 mm between the tray and the incisal or occlusal edges of the teeth

Q

Impressions

A

Impressions are negative reproduction of those structures. Once an impression is poured with plaster or stone it becomes a positive.

Q

Perforated stock trays

A

Most commonly used stock tray because the material has an opportunity to ooze out instead of going into the patients mouth

Q

Final Impression are used for

A

Produce the most accurate reproduction of the patients teeth and surrounding tissues
Essential info needed to create indirect restoration such as fixed bridges, crowns, partials, full dentures and implants

Q

Bite registration are used:

A

Produce a reproduction of the occlusal relationship of the maxillary and mandibular teeth when the mouth is closed. Provides an accurate registration of the patients centric relationship between the max and the man arches for the the dentist or technician.

21
Q

Impression trays

A

Used to hold the material for taking the impressions.

22
Q

Perforated trays

A

Most commonly used stock trays because the material has an opportunity to ooze out instead of going into the patients mouth. Have a mechanical lock that is why the material is able to stay in the tray.

23
Q

Quadrant or sectional mesh tray

A

Used for final impressions. Eliminates the bite registration portion of the procedure because it does both at the same time.

24
Q

Custom trays

A

Used for a more precise impression when needed. Called a final impression.

25
Q

Stock trays

A

Used on dexter and ourselves to take preliminary impression (first)

26
Q

Tray adhesives

A

Used when the use of a smooth tray is recommended (non perforated) to try and create a mechanical lock.

27
Q

Hydrocolloid materials

A

Hydro (water) colloid (gel) used to obtain a preliminary impression.

28
Q

Irreversible Hydrocolloid materials

A

Means you cannot bring them back to their original state ( alginate or kromopan)

29
Q

Alginate

A

Should be poured up with stone or plaster within 1 hour. Most widely used for preliminary impressions

30
Q

Kromopan

A

Should be poured up with stone or plaster within 100 hours

31
Q

Reasons to use fast set

A

Patient with a severe gag reflex

32
Q

Setting time

A

Room temp water is the best when mixing Alginate or kromopan. Colder water will give you more time with the material and setting while warm water will give you less time with the material but is good if you don’t have fast set material available.

33
Q

Edentulous

A

Means no teeth.

34
Q

Reversible Hydrocolloid

A

Like ice cream
Reversible means you can bring it back to original state
Not used often today it need to go through a process to bring it back to its original state. Conditioning bath is used.

35
Q

Four types of elastomeric materials

A

Polysulfide
Polyether
Silicone
Polysiloxane

36
Q

Polysulfide

A

Available in light bodied, regular and heavy bodied
Two paste system
Disadvantages: strong odour and stains clothing
Long working and sitting times
Flexible

37
Q

Polyether

A 
Better mechanical properties than polysulfide 
Less dimensional change then silicone
Includes a thinner
Two-paste system or cartridge
Equal length not equal amount
38
Q

Silicone

A

Odour free, non-staining, easy to mix
Less deformation than polysulfide
Superior dimensional stability
Base is paste, catalyst is a liquid ,cartridges or putty

39
Q

polysiloxane

A 
High dimensional stability
Low tear resistance
No taste, no odor
Light bodied,regular and heavy bodied 
Cartridges are putty
40
Q

Acceptable maxillary impression the 6 criteria

A
  1. impression tray is centred over the central and lateral incisors
  2. tray is seated for accurate representation of the heigh /depth of the vestibule and surrounding tissues
  3. Impression is free from tears or voids in the soft tissues
  4. sharp anatomic detail of the teeth
  5. palate is reproduced
  6. tuberosities are reproduced
41
Q

Acceptable mandibular impression the five criteria

A
  1. impression tray centred over the central and lateral incisors
  2. tray is seated for accurate representation of the height/depth of the vestibule and surrounding tissues
  3. impression is free from tears or voids in the soft tissues
  4. sharp anatomical detail of teeth
  5. retromolar area is reproduced
42
Q

Elastomeric materials

A

Used when a more precise impression is needed. Are self curing and supplied as a base and catalyst.

43
Q

Occlusal bite registration material

A

Procedure is done to show that you’re closer relationship between the maxillary and mandibular teeth. Most popular materials used for bite registration is polysiloxane (blu-bite) and wax bite

44
Q

Light bodied

A

Used because of its ability to flow into and around the details of the prepared teeth.
Can be place with a syringe or with a tip from the auto mix cartridge with the extruder gun.

45
Q

Regular and heavy bodied materials

A

Referred to a tree type materials.

Much thicker than light bodied impression materials and use to fill the tray.

46
Q

Initial set

A

Stiffening of the paste without the appearance of elastic properties. Material may be manipulated only during this stage.

47
Q

Final set

A

Begins with the appearance of elasticity and proceeds of elastic properties and proceed through gradual change to a solid rubbery mass.

48
Q

Final cure

A

Occurs within 1 to 24 hours.

Only slight dimensional change is noted

49
Q

Three Curing stages

A

Initial set
Final set
Final cure
