24
Q

Modulay Type 2 Gold Alloy is ____ gold.

25
Which gold alloy is used in college dental clinics?
Argenco Y+ cheap bastards... 2% gold yellow shade from PdIn (previously used midas ~50%)
26
High-Noble Metal = ___-based Nobel Metal = ____- based Base Metal = ____-based
high =gold nobel = Palladium base = nickel
27
True or False: High density porcelain alloys are favorable.
False, lower density preferred
28
True or False: Fixed Partial Dentures fabricated from Au-Pd or Au-Pd-Ag will be more resistant to masticatory forces than those fabricated from Au-Pt-Pd.
True
29
True or False: Palladium alloys are more technique sensitive than gold alloys. Why?
True | Palladium has a higher melting range and a greater tendency for gas incorporation in molten alloy
30
True or False: Price volatility of palladium has been and still is a concern.
False, it was but not anymore
31
Reports have been filed regarding _______ problems with Pd-Cu-Ga, but no problems arise from the alloy Freedom Plus.
bio compatibility (allergy)
32
What is the most important feature of conventional base metal alloys?
much lower unit cost
33
True or False: Conventional base metal alloys require experienced dental labs.
True, technique sensitive
34
Which type of alloy (base metal) is favored for metal ceramic restorations?
Ni-Cr
35
Which base metal alloy is used for patients with a nickel allergy?
Co-Cr | allergy =No-Cry=Co-Cr
36
True or False: High gold alloys are beneficial for multi-unit restorations.
False, expensive and undergo dimensional changes
37
True or False: Porcelain "greening" is a concern for Pd-Ag alloys.
False, problem was corrected with better furnaces and porcelain composition
38
Which alloy is considered the "best compromise" for cost, properties and ease of manipulation?
Gold Palladium (Au-Pd) (Gold and its Pal)
39
What is the purpose for Be in Ni-Cr alloys?
to lower fusion temperature (easier to cast) and improve bonding
40
What is the harm in casting with Be?
Be has an adverse effect on the lungs; fumes during casting must be properly ventilated
41
True or False: Patient allergies must be considered prior to alloy selection.
true
42
What gives Argistar Yellow LF its yellow color?
combination of Pd and Indium
43
What are the conventional base metal alloys used for RPD frameworks?
cobalt-chromium nickel-chromium cobalt-chromium-nickel
44
True or False: Titanium alloys have a low strength:weight ratio.
False, HIGH strength to weight
45
True or False: comparing gold to base metal RPD alloys, there is little difference in yield strength and ductility.
True
46
Which difference is most important between gold and base metal RPD alloys?
modulus of elasticity is high for base metals (the amount of deflection allowed before breakage) -deflection for base metal alloys is HALF that of gold
47
What are the advantages to using base metal alloys instead of gold for RPD frameworks?
- cost - lower density (can make it thinner because its harder) - high elastic modulus - high yield strength - corrosion resistant
48
Base metal alloys have excellent corrosion resistance from _______ surface films.
chromium oxide
49
What are the disadvantages of base metal alloys for RPD frameworks?
- limited ductility (fracture during clasp adjustment) - wear of tooth due to VHN >350 - need for special equipment in casting
50
The newest technology involves _____ sintering (additive manufacturing).
laser
51
Which alloy is used in laser sintering?
Cobalt-Cromium
52
In laser sintering, a laser scans across a bed of _____ with _____ at specific sites.
powder | melting (fusing particles)
53
True or False: The large Phenix Dental System claims to be capable of producing 200 fixed restorations in 5 hours.
True | almost as fast as our lab
