in a liquid or semiliquid form

144
Q

In the gel (solid) phase, the material is

A

semisolid, similar to a pudding dessert

145
Q

Imbibition

A

If an alginate impression is stored in water or in a soaked paper towel, it will absorb the additional water and expand

146
Q

Syneresis

A

If an alginate impression remains in the open air, moisture will evaporate, causing the impression to shrink and distort

147
Q

How long after the impression is obtained should we proceed to pouring?

A

Most alginate impression materials must be “poured up” within 1 hour of taking the impression, a requirement dic­tated by the environment

148
Q

Why should the newly poured alginate impression not be stored under water?

A

It will imbibe water leading to distortion

149
Q

Types of Setting

Alginate is available in two setting times:

A

Normal set time
Fast set alginate
Working time
Setting time

150
Q

Normal-set alginate

Working time of 2 minutes and a setting time of up to 4½ minutes after mixing

151
Q

Fast-set alginate

A

Working time of 1¼ minutes and a setting time of 1 to 2 minutes

152
Q

Working time

A

The time allowed for mixing the alginate, loading the tray, and positioning the tray in the patient’s mouth

153
Q

Setting time

A

The time required for the chemical action to be completed, after which the impression is ready to be removed from the patient’s mouth

154
Q

Which time is longer, working time or setting time?

A

(Setting time is longer than working time.)

155
Q

Altering Setting Time of Alginate

A

Room temperature water is best to use when mixing alginate

Cooler water will increase the setting time if additional time is needed for the procedure

Warmer water will reduce or shorten the setting time of the procedure

156
Q

Water-to-Powder Ratio

A

mandibular impression: 2 scoops of powder/2 measures of water

maxillary impression :
3 scoops of powder and 3 measures of water

157
Q

Taking an Alginate Impression, It is important for the EFDA to be competent in:

A

Mixing the alginate
Loading the tray
Keeping the patient comfortable while taking the impression

158
Q

Explain the Procedure to the Patient ,The patient needs to know that:

A

The material will feel cool, there is no unpleasant taste, and the material will set quickly
Breathing deeply through the nose will help the patient relax and feel more comfortable
The patient can use some type of hand signals to communicate any discomfort

159
Q

Evaluating Alginate Impression :
-The impression tray should be centered
-There is a complete “peripheral roll,” including all of the vestibular areas
-The tray is not “overseated”
-The impression is free from tears or voids
-Sharp anatomic detail of all teeth and soft tissues is provided
-
-The hard palate and tuberosities are recorded in the maxillary impression

A

The retromolar area, lingual frenum, tongue space, and mylohyoid ridge are reproduced in the mandibular impression

Q

Reversible Hydrocolloid

A

This impression material changes its physical state from a sol to a gel and then back to a sol

164
Q

Hysteresis

A

is a term used to describe the change in temperature that causes the reversible hydrocolloid material to transform from one physical state to another

165
Q

Reversible Hydrocolloid (Cont.)

A

85% water

13% agar

Agar is an organic substance derived from seaweed

Additional chemical modifiers are added to improve the substance’s handling characteristics

166
Q

Additional equipment is required to obtain an impression

A

. Water-cooled trays and a conditioner unit for the hydrocolloid material are needed.

167
Q

For the reversible hydrocolloid to change from one consistency to another, a specialized

A

conditioning bath is used

168
Q

The following three compartments maintain water at three different temperatures:

A

A “conditioner” bath liquefies the semisolid material at 212° F and is then cooled to 150° F

A “storage” bath readies the material for the impression in its tubes

A “tempering” bath keeps material at 110° F for tempering after it has been placed in the tray
