25
Q

what is a dental model?

A

3d reproduction of the teeth and surrounding soft tissue

26
Q

why are dental models so useful?

A

allows the dentist to analyze the patients mouth from viewpoints that are not seen by a clinical exam

27
Q

what is gypsum in its unrefined state

A

a dihydrate form of calcium sulfate

28
Q

when gypsum is heated is the water removed or added? what does gypsum now converted into?

A

removed leaving it a hemi hydrate ( 0.5 parts water to 1 part calcium sulfate)

29
Q

When mixing gypsum with water the hemihydrate crystals dissolve in the water to form clusters known ____ ___ ________

nuclei of crystallization

30
Q

Type I Gypsum: what is it called?

A

Impression Plaster

31
Q

Type II Gypsum: What is it called and what are some characteristics

A

plaster of paris
- white and used for pouring premilimary impressions for study models

32
Q

what type of gypsum requires the most about of water for mixing?

A

Type II

33
Q

Type III Gypsum: what is it called? what are some characteristics

A

Dental Stone
- yellow
used for more durable diagnostic cast
stronger and denser than plater

34
Q

Type IV Gypsum: What is it called? what are some characteristics?

A

Die stone (densite)
- strength hardness and dimensional accuracy
- ideal for creating a die for use in fabrication of a wax pattern (crown, bridges, inlays)

35
Q

Type V Gypsum: What is it called? What are some characteristics?

A

Hight Strength Stone
- green
strongest and least amount of expansion
require least amount of water

36
Q

What type of gypsum is NOT recommended for the use in fabrication of inlays and onlays

A

Type V: creates too tight of a casting fit

37

40
Q

What happens if too little water is used in gypsum mixing?

A

it will be dry which = a shorter mixing time

41
Q

what happens if too much water is used in gypsum mixing?

A

the crystallization setting process will be disturbed and the model wont have strength

42
Q

what occurs if you add water after the stirring process has begun?

A

it will break up the crystals resulting in a weak and brittle cast

43
Q

What is a double-pour?

A

anatomic portion of model is poured first then a second mix of plaster or stone is used to prepare the art portion

44
Q

What is a box-and-pour?

A

impression is surrounded with a box made of wax and is poured as one unit

45
Q

what is the inverted pour method?

A

one large batch of plaster or stone is mixed and both portions of models are poured in a single step

46
Q

What does the anatomic portion of a dental model include?

A

teeth, oral mucosa and muscle attachment

47
Q

what is the art portion of a dental model?

A

forms the base

48
Q

What is the process of polishing a plaster model? (SSD)

A

Slurry- Mix a slurry of gypsum and fill any void
Soak- the model in a soapy mix for 24 hours
Dry- dry the model and then polish it with a soft cloth

49
Q

Custom Tray Impression: What should be done with Undercuts? What causes them?
