Flow Of Dental Wax

Question 1

True or false.

Soft wax exhibits a transition point at a lower temperature than the hard wax.

Answer 1

True

Question 2

True or false.

One of the desirable properties of type 1 inlay wax is that it should exhibit a mark plasticity or flow at a temperature slightly above that of the mouth.

Answer 2

True

Question 3

True or false.

In my waxes do not solidify with a space lattice, as does a metal. Instead, the structure likely exhibits a combination of crystalline and amorphous structures, with limited short range order of the molecules. The wax lax rigidity and may flow under applied pressure even at room temperature.

Answer 3

True

Question 4

The wax begins to harden slowly below ______and become solid below approximately _______; below which it cools rapidly at a constant rate.

Answer 4

65° c and 48° C

Question 5

Both type 1 and type 2 waxes at 45° c must have a minimal flow of ______and the maximum flow of _______. At this temperature the wax is inserted into the prepared cavity if the wax does not have sufficient plasticity, it will not flow into the all the of the areas in the preparation and reproduce the details that were established by the invested wax pattern.

Answer 5

70% and 90%

Question 6

Both type 1 and type 2 waxes at 45° c must have a minimal flow of ______and the maximum flow of _______. At this temperature the wax is inserted into the prepared cavity if the wax does not have sufficient plasticity, it will not flow into the all the of the areas in the preparation and reproduce the details that were established by the invested wax pattern.

Answer 6

70% and 90%
