used to carry the impression material into the mouth
impression trays
impression trays can be ________ or _________
sterilized or disposable
take an impression of a smaller area, but can impress the maxillary and mandibular arch simultaneously
triple trays
dispensed onto a tray or directly on teeth and patient bites down
bite registration
the type of impression material being used depends on the ______ of the impression being taken
purpose
prepared teeth typically have ________
undercuts
what is required to take impressions of prepared teeth?
more elastic material
impressions on edentulous areas do or do not require as much detail?
do not
what type of impression material is used on edentulous areas of the mouth?
inelastic material which is harder and more rigid
measure of a liquids ability to flow
viscosity
placed in the sulcus to pull the tissue away from a tooth during crown and bridge preparations
retraction cord
impression material mixed with water
aqueous
impression material mixed with something other than water
nonaqueous
what are the three types of impression materials?

these materials change from a viscous liquid state called sol, to a semisolid, rubbery state called gel
aqueous
what are the types of inelastic impression materials?
plaster, wax, and zinc oxide eugenol
irreversible hydrocolloid
alginate
set by chemical reaction to reach gelation
irreversible hydrocolloid
what are the types of aqueous elastomeric impression materials?
alginate and agar
reversible hydrocolloid
agar
reaches gelation by means of temperature changes
reversible hydrocolloid
