what is the use for slurry water
to make the stone set quicker

1-5 for compressive strength
classify the following: mounting plaster, dental stone, model plaster, dental stone-high strength low expansion, dental stone-high strength high expansion
1,3,2,4,5
what is the difference between types 4 and 5
4 low expansion
5 high expansion
What does the slurry water add that makes the gypsum precipitate more quickly?
More sites of nucleation
Gypsum classificaiton, Type I
Type II
Type III
Type IV
Type V
mounting plaster
model plaster
dental stone
dental stone - high strength, low expansion
dental stone - high strength, high expansion
Describe the particles of Plaster (gypsum) Type I/II:
This is a _____ hemihydrate:
large, irregular particles
Beta
Describe the particles of Stone type III-V:
This is a ____ hemihydrate:
small, greater strength
alpha
3 effects of adding water to the gypsum powder:
Increases Setting time
Weaker
Less expansion
why is type 3 used for making dentures
the final step of denture making involves breaking the stone. type 3 is easier to break
what class of gypsum is used for making impressions on a pt and why
*diagnostic
III
cheaper
what class is used for crowns and bridges
4 or 5
what type of gypsum should be used for high shrinking base metals
type 5 because it can compensate because it has higher expansion
what type of gypsum does Ahwatukee lab use.
Excalibur - type IV
Why should a cast be soaked in water before trimming?
Easier to trim, clean up, rid of particles
what are the advantages/disadvantages of the removable die system
advantages: it can get to all areas when doing a wax up. easier to fabricate.
Disadvantages: we have moving parts and movement can make contacts stronger or weaker
why does the lab send back a solid metal
Verify seating/interproximal contacts
allows for better testing of inter proximal contacts
3 ways we mount the 2 arches against each other
maxillo-mandibular jaw relation record
jaw relation record (JRR)
Bite registration
In mounting the arches against each other, it is possible to hand articulate when?

bite registration
if MIP is not stable what is required to mount the cast accurately
bite registration

How far is the wax pattern usually placed from the top of the investment?
6 mm
What is the sprue attached to?
crucible and casting ring
The metal within the sprue remains molten slightly longer than the alloy that has filled the mold, providing a ____ to compensate for the shrinkage that occurs during solidification
