Denture materials Flashcards
Whats an intalgio?
negative of the cast. Made with impressions
common things were looking for in impression material
biocompatible, excellent detail, odorless, tasteless, non-irritating, immune to oral fluids, easy to mix, short working time, disinfectible, good shelf life, cost effective.
3 classifications of impression materials are
non-elastic, synthetic elastomers, hydrocolloids.
name some non- elastic materials
impression plaster, impression compound, impression waxes
name some synthetic elastomers
polysulphides, polyether, silicones
name the 2 types of hydrocolloids
reversible, irreversible
Elastomers
low molecular weight that increases to become more viscous. Has a base and catalyst and are long crosslinked chains
is thermosetting plastic reversible?
no its irreversible
define viscosity and how its tested.
resistance to stress, tested by shark fin test
what are the ADA requirements for non-aqueous elastomers?
mixing time under 1 min.
working time over 2 min.
does low or high viscosity material catch more details?
low
ADA non-aqueous elastomeric materials types 1 &2 detail reproduction must be 20 micrometers while type 3 is what?
75 micrometers
type 1 &2 elastic limit is greater than 2.5% but type 3 is what?
greater than 6.6 %
maximum change in demension in 24 hr period for types 1 & 3 is less than .5 % while type 2 is
less than -1 %
with polysulfides, which group causes chain lengthening and crosslinking by oxidation?
SH groups
what causes the mixture to be brown?
pbO2, lead oxide
what makes the polysulfide brown paste we used?
lead oxide+polysulfide polymer–> larger polysuflide polymer+ water
what are some posittives of polysulfides?
elastomeric, flexible, high tear resistance, strong, long working time
what are some negatives of polysulfides?
messy, odor, stains clothes, slow setting time
