DMT practicals Flashcards
What do impression materials require ?
a large working time- can be mixed, loaded and set into the mouth
the time taken from the start of mixing to the material no longer being usable at room temperature
When a material is first set in the mouth which type of deformation should it undergo ?
plastic- retains the shape of the impression
What is the state of deformation during setting of impression materials ?
viscoelastic
What is the state of deformation when impression materials are set ?
elastic- cant be permenantly deformed
What type of deformation should occur in the working time ?
plastic
What type of deformation should happen in the setting time ?
elastic
If the recovery is 0 the material is ?
elastic
Acrylic and resin materials undergo setting by ??
polymerisation
What is polymerisation ?
the process by which small molecules are joined covaleltnty into large molecular chains
What are the dimensional changes that happen in polymerisation ?
monomers are usually liquid/gas and this leads to solid formation in polymerisation- increase in viscosity and contraction occurs
What can dimensional changes be measured with ?
dialtometer
How do denture base materials initiate polymerisation ?
when acrylic beads are added and they absorb water
What are the stages of form that denture base materials go through when polymerising ?
sandy stage
stringy
douhy
What is mixed with MMA to intitate polymerisation of denture base materials ?
PMMA mixed with MMA
PMMA is polymer
How does the dilatometer work ?
when the polymer is at dough stage
but into water bath that has a liquid callbrated pipette attached
rises in liquid due to volume changes in PMMA
What are gypsum materials used for ?
impression materials
How does gypsum set ?
not by polymerisation
What are gysum products made of ?
calcium sulphate hemihydrate
plaster and stone
What are dental plaster and stone used for ?
record of intra oral structures
How is dental plaster and stone provided and how is it set ?
provided as powder- mix with water
set by exo reaction
What happens when dental plaster mixes with water ?
forms calcium sulphate dihydrate
this is less soluble
precipitates out in solution
precipitation occurs until no further dihydrate to precipitate out
How can the setting of dental gypsum be measured ?
extensometer
How can dentures be subjected to rapidly applied stress ?
dropping the denture
What does the charpey impact tester do ?
provide a rapidly applied force with sufficient magnitude
What does the charpey impact tester consist of ?
weighted pendulum which drops down
What happens when the pendulum hits a specimen ?
the pendulum should fracture
the pendulum looses energy and it max acsent i sless as a result
What can be used to measure impact strength ?
difference between specimen height and no specimen height
Why can brittle materials fracture under their stress ?
they have notches which concentrate stress
