Q

How does heat actually “activate” the process of heat-activated resin denture bases? At what temperature does this start? (pg 88)

A

Heat decomposes the benzoyl peroxide into a free radical to start the polymerization

Starts at 140°F / 60°C degrees, but you do the entire reaction at 165° F degrees

Q

What are the two recommended polymerization cycles for heat-activated resin (i.e. Lucitone 199)? (pg 88)

A

Long cure: 164° F for 9 hours, then 1/2 hour in boiling water, then bench cool 1/2 hour, then cool water for 15 minutes

Short cure: 164° F for 1.5 hours, then boiling water (212°) F for thirty minutes, then bench cure 1/2 hour, then cool water 15 minutes

Q

Chemically-activated resin’s

  • Advantages
  • Disadvantages (3)
A

Advantage: Faster working time

Disadvantages: (Diewitt’s note: I think these are before Ivobase was introduced)

  1. Chemical cure has more residual monomer (irritates the tissue
  2. Decreased strength
  3. Less color stability

Q

Light-activated resin composition

  • Two major constituents
  • Three minor constituents
A
  1. UDMA (urethane dimethacrylate - the resin matrix)
  2. Inorganic filler particles (quartz)
  3. Coupling agents (bonds filler particles to the resin matrix
  4. “Activator-initiator” system (UV light - activator) and (champhoroquinone-initiator)
  5. Optical modifiers (color - metal oxides)

Q

At what temperature does acrylic monomer boil? How about water? (pg 92)

What does boiled acrylic monomer lead to?

Is this a major concern for thin or bulky areas of the denture?

A

213.4 degrees F for acrylic, compared to 212 degrees F for water

This leads to porosities in the denture base

Trick question - It is a major concern for both areas since the reaction is exothermic. For thick areas, this may lead to porosities. For thin areas, this may lead to incomplete curing.

Q

Advantages of immediate dentures (8)

A
  1. Bleeding, pain, and swelling reduced
  2. Patient is not without teeth during healing period
  3. Cooperation and emotional attitude of patient is improved
  4. Patient adapts to the presence of immediate dentures more quickly

  8. Immediate dentures contour bone
17
Q

Disadvantages of immediate dentures (5)

  4. Indifferent or unappreciated patients
19
Q

Cause/treatment if generalized sore spots at ridges (3 causes) (pg 133)

A

Cause -> Treatment

  1. Malocclusion -> Patient remount
  2. Excessive OVD -> remount to lower OVD or make new CD’s
