Dental Materials Pt. 3 (27-35) Flashcards
polysiloxanes are hydrophoboic/philic
hydrophobic (consequences for taking impressions)
polysiloxanes are cross linked by
hydrosilation reaction
how can surfactants affect polysiloxanes?
can make them hydrophilic
advantages of polysiloxanes
can repour!
dimensionally stable***
disadvantages of polysiloxane
overcoming hydrophobic properties
polyethers are hydrophilic/phobic
hydrophobic (but better surface characteristics
polyethers can control viscosity to control
thickness of impression
advantages of polyethers
good dimensional stability
disadvantages of polyethers
stiff, bad taste, low tear strength
unmixed ester can cause
contact dermatitis
gypsum is hydrophilic/phobic
hydrphobic
gypsum is cured how
water cured
advantages of gypsum
dimensionally stable, doesn’t stain, no odor or taste
disadvantages of gypsum
hard to vary set time, lots of bubbles, expensive
if you add silicone to gypsum it releases
hydrogen gas
calcination reaction
gypsum +water via heat= plaster
reverse gypsum reaction
add water it releases heat and goes back to calcium sulfate
properties of gypsum are dependent on
density and crystal structure
is dental stone or plaster used for models?
dental stone
denture base is normally
