18
Q

ideal properties - accuracy

A
surface reproduction (ISO)
viscoelasticity/elastic recovery
19
Q

ideal properties - dealing with removal and undercuts

A

rigidity
flow under pressure “shark fin test” - flows readily under pressure - large shark fin length
tear/tensile strength
- removing from undercuts
- can have a good shark fin length but if tears easily then not good when you come to remove it
- not too high - if in deep undercut might not be able to remove it

20
Q

ideal properties - dimensional stability

A

setting shrinkage
thermal expansion/contraction
- contraction when you remove it from warmer oral cavity to cooler room temp

21
Q

viscosity

A

measure of a materials ability to flow
determines a material’s potential for making close contact with surfaces
how well it records surface detail

22
Q

contact angle

A

determines how well material envelop the hard/soft tissue surface (to record fine detail)

23
Q

surface wetting

A

must make intimate contact with teeth/mucosa

is material hydrophillic?

24
Q

small contact angle

A

no spaces between globules of impression material so all of surface is replicated

25
Q

large contact angle

A

spaces between globules of impression material, so some of tooth surface not replicated

26
Q

reproduction of surface detail - ISO

A

standard notch dimensions
A - 20um
B - 50um ISO norm
C - 75um

27
Q

elasticity ideal behaviour

A

no permanent deformation - once load (strain) removed material back to original dimensions

28
Q

flow under pressure - shark fin test

A

force - impression material - chamber with slot
high flow = large fin length (will flow rapidly into sulcus, undercuts)
low flow = short fin length

29
Q

tear/tensile strength

A

stress material will withstand before fracturing

30
Q

rigidity

A

stress/strain ratio i.e. stress needed to cause material to change shape
ideally low value i.e. flexible - for ease of removal of material, esp from undercut regions

31
Q

viscoelastic behaviour

A

occurs when after being stretched/compressed a material fails to return to its original dimensions/shape
i.e. there is a permanent deformation

32
Q

minimising permanent deformation with viscoelastic behaviour

A

remove tray quickly with a sharp pull
- if load time is less there is less overall permanent strain (lower deformation)
leave before pouring - recovery takes time
elasticity only develops after material is firm - don’t remove tray too soon

33
Q

setting shrinkage

A

low

34
Q

thermal expansion/contraction

A

a large difference between mouth and room temp may cause a change in shape
ppm/degrees should be low

35
Q

storage

A

some materials absorb/release moisture causing a change in its dimensions
