Preweighted package

38
Q

True or false.

All types of alternate packaging must be stored in a cool and dry place

True

39
Q

Is sensitive to higher temperature and moisture contamination. Those variables cause the alternate to lose strength during mixing and be more apt to distort upon removal from the mouth.

Alginate

40
Q

True or false. Please read!

Mixing alginate:

  • fluff or shake the powder to distribute the powder particles evenly.
  • uses specific measuring devices water and powder provided by the manufacturer for mixing.
  • follow the manufacturers directions regarding the ratio of water to powder.
  • use exact measurements.
  • after the water and powder have been measured place the water in a clean dry bowl sift the water into the water.
  • adding the powder to water ensures the powder particles are wet evenly
  • if mixing reverse the chemical reaction will start early with some particles setting faster than others.
  • mix the originate for the specific amount of time and using a “stiff” spatula SWIPE the alternate mass against the sides of the ball to avoid entrapment of air in the mix
  • care should be taken in shaking dustless can of alginate.
