Q

major disadvantage of Self-curing acrylic resin

A

hazard of working with liquid monomer, which is highly
volatile.

21
Q

When a self-curing resin is used, polymerization begins when the
_____ and the
______are mixed together.

A

monomer
polymer

22
Q

a visible light–cured material that does not contain methylmethacrylate monomer (hazardous material) has very low shrinkage, which provides excellent adaptation of the cast.

A

Light-Cured Resin Tray Materials

23
Q

what acts as a catalyst in light cured resin to bring about polymerization?

A

curing light

24
Q

Dental waxes are categorized into three general classifications:

A

pattern waxes
processing waxes
impression waxes

25
Q

this gypsum is commonly referred to as plaster of Paris,is white and used primarily for pouring preliminary impressions for the fabrication of an edentulous model

A

impression plaster type I and model plaster type II

26
Q

this type of gypsum requires the greatest quantity of water for mixing, which produces the weakest form of a study model.

A

impression plaster I and model plaster type II

27
Q

this gypsum is typically yellow and is used when a more durable diagnostic cast is required, or when a working model is needed for the fabrication of fixed or removable prosthetics, retainers, and custom trays.

A

dental stone type III

28
Q

this gypsum is also known as densite or improved dental stone.

has strength, hardness, and dimensional accuracy that make it ideal for use by the dental laboratory technician in creating a
die for use in the fabrication of a wax pattern with the production of crowns, bridges, and indirect restorations.

A

die stone type IV

29
Q

This stone is the strongest, with the least amount of expansion.

It is not recommended in the use for the fabrication of inlays and onlays because of creating too tight of a casting fit.

A

high strength stone (type V)

30
Q

most common method of pouring an impression

A

inverted pour method

31
Q

the three types and classifcation for pattern waxes

A

inlay wax
casting wax
baseplate wax

32
Q

The dental laboratory technician uses this type of pattern wax to create a pattern of the indirect restoration on a model.

A

inlay wax

33
Q

Inlay waxes are classified according to how they flow (hardness), as follows:

A

• Type A: a hard wax used for direct wax patterns in the mouth.

• Type B: medium inlay wax used for indirect wax patterns on dies

• Type C :a soft inlay wax used for indirect waxing techniques in the dental laboratory.

34
Q

type of pattern wax used for single-tooth indirect restorations and fixed bridges and for casting metal portions of a partial denture.

A

casting wax

35
Q

type of pattern wax used to record the occlusal rims for the initial arch form, for setting denture teeth, and for denture wax-up.

A

baseplate wax

36
Q

The ADA classifies baseplate wax as the following three types:

A

• Type I is a SOFTER wax used for impressions in COOL climates.

• Type II is a wax of MEDIUM hardness used for impressions in MODERATE climates.

• Type III is a HARDER wax used for impressions in TROPICAL climates.

37
Q

classification of waxes used either in the clinical or laboratory setting for multiple procedures.

A

processing wax

38
Q

The three types of waxes in processing wax classification are :

A

-boxing wax
-utility wax
-sticky wax

39
Q

type of processing wax often used to form a wall or box around a preliminary impression when it is poured.

A

boxing wax

40
Q

this type of processing wax is used for extending the borders of an impression tray and covering brackets in orthodontic treatment when they are irritating the cheek or lips.

A

utility wax

41
Q

type of processing wax best used in the laboratory in fabrication of castings.

useful in the casting procedure, creating a wax pattern, or JOINING acrylic resin together.

A

sticky wax

42
Q

classification of waxes used to take impressions within the oral cavity.

A

impression waxes

43
Q

two types of classification of impression waxes are :

A

-corrective impression wax

  • bite registration wax.
44
Q

this type of impression wax is commonly used in the procedure of taking edentulous impressions.

flows easily at the temperature of the oral cavity, making it useful with other impression materials.

A

Corrective Impression Wax

45
Q

After this type of impression wax is softened under warm water, the patient is instructed to bite down, so the wax forms an imprint of the teeth.

A

bite registration wax
