Q

how is undercut gauge used and what does it determine?

A

undercut gauge drawn up against the tooth
where the gauge touches the tooth is the point where the clasp should terminate (where terminal 1/3rd of clasp engages)

Q

how does finishing point of SS clasp compare to finishing point of Co/Cr?

Q

how does an open bite present on the articulator?

A

pin will not touch the table

31
Q

what method increases the risk of an open bite/pin not touching the table? why?

A

dough packing - due to inc flash thickness

32
Q

what 2 errors can cause contraction porosity?

A

not enough pressure on the mould
not enough material to fill the mould

33
Q

what 2 things can cause gaseous porosity?

A

wrong curing cycle
heating too rapidly - causing the MMA monomer to boil

34
Q

where in denture does gaseous porosity occur?

A

in the thickest part of the denture

35
Q

what can occur if alginate impression is left in the disinfectant solution for too long?

A

Imbibition - absorption of one substance by another

36
Q

what can occur when the alginate impression is not kept in a sealed bag with damp napkins?

A

Syneresis - alginate expulses liquid causing shrinking of impression

37
Q

where is the hamular notch found?

A

behind the tuberosities of the maxilla

38
Q

where is the raphe found?

A

running down midline of the palate

39
Q

what does the willis gauge record?

A

the OVD

40
Q

what does the Fox’s Guide Plane measure?

A

the level of the occlusal plane

41
Q

when are flat cusped teeth used?

A

when the patient’s bite is non reproduceable

42
Q

what material is used for soft linings?

A

molloplast

43
Q

is it better to have a thinner or thicker soft lining? why?

A

better to have thinner soft lining
a thicker soft lining would mean less acrylic on the denture which would weaken the denture

44
Q

when is a denture rebase required? (2)

A

when the denture is loose fitting
when teeth are worn or loose

45
Q

what should be done to the denture prior to taking a wash impression?

A

remove undercuts

46
Q

when is a closed bite technique used?

A

to avoid occlusal errors such as an open bite

47
Q

how is closed bite technique used?

A

wash placed over fitting surface of denture and placed into mouth - pt bits down

48
Q

what indicates that the mould is full during injection moulding?

A

resin exits the mould as the clamp handle is turned and piston pushes resin into the mould

49
Q

what type of clasps is undercut gauge used to select material for?

A

occlusally approaching

50
Q

what term is used to describe the change in length of a specimen?

A

ductility - a materials ability to be stretched/pulled

51
Q

what term is used to describe an elongated specimen?

A

tensile specimen

52
Q

what force is required to flatten a specimen?

A

compressive force

53
Q

what term is used to describe the hardness of a material?

A

modulus = stiffness of material

54
Q

what force is applied to a mid beam to fracture it?

A

3 point flexural strength

55
Q

label the medial pterygoid

A

runs vertically

56
Q

label the buccinator

A

underneath masseter - runs from mouth posterior to medial pterygoid

57
Q

label the condyle

A

posterior to coronoid

58
Q

label the obicularis oris

A

around mouth

59
Q

label the nasalis

A

over nose

60
Q

label the masseter

A

superficial to buccinator
exits zygoma and inserts into angle of mandible

61
Q

label the zygomaticus major

A

runs from zygoma down to orbicularis oris

62
Q

label the temporalis

A

flat on lateral of skull - inserts down into zygoma

63
Q

label the coronoid process

A

anterior to condyle

64
Q

label the mental nerve

A

runs down onto chin

65
Q

what is dental gypsum used for?

A

impression plaster, dental plaster and dental stone - study casts

66
Q

list 3 non elastic impression materials

A

impression plaster
impression compound
zinc oxide eugenol

cannot record undercuts so only use in edentulous areas

67
Q

what is alginate used and not used for?

A

used for - study models, removable partial dentures, for temporary crown/bridges, creation of special trays, mouth guards, bleaching trays

not used for crown and bridge definitive restorations as bad detail

68
Q

name 4 non-aqueous elastomeric impression materials (hydrophobic)

A

polysulfides - good for big undercuts (inlays, crowns, bridges)
polyethers - avoid in big undercuts (crowns, bridges, partial dentures and implants)
condensation silicones
addition silicones

69
Q

what is zinc oxide eugenol impression material used for?

A

secondary impressions for complete dentures

70
Q

what is alginate used for?

A

primary impressions for dentures
opposing arch impressions for crowns/bridge models

71
Q

what are polysulphides used for?

A

complete dentures - long working time required

72
Q

what are polyether used for?

A

final impressions for crowns, bridges, partial dentures and implants
avoid in deep undercuts and bridges

73
Q

what is addition and condensation silicone used for?

A

crowns, bridges, partial dentures and implants

74
