Q

How gypsum is made

A

calcination-process of heating a solid will drive off volatile chemically combined components (i.e. water)

21
Q

wet strength

A

=green strength, less

22
Q

dry strength

A

st. when all excess water is used, 2-3 times of wet st.

23
Q

increase W/P ration

A

decrease st. (strength)-fewer hydrate crystals per unit V

24
Q

spatulation

A

increaed mixing time increases st.

25
Q

overmixing

A

dec st.-dec crystal interlocking

26
Q

inc mixing time

A

inc. st.

27
Q

type I gypsum

A

impression plaster, impressions and occlusal records-OBSOLETE-Runny

28
Q

Type II

A

Model plaster, study models, denture flasking, not used much

29
Q

Type III

A

dental stone, working casts and mounting on articulators

30
Q

IV

A

High st. dental stone and low expansion-for wax patterns-used often

31
Q

V

A

High st high expansion dental stone-dies for cast restirations w/ high casting shrinkage

32
Q

Mounting Stone

A

faster setting, low expansion, lower strength, altered type III

33
Q

Manipulation of Gypsum

A

storage, mL water, and stone powder in weight (grams)

34
Q

mixing by hand

A

parabolic bowl, stiff spatula, water into bowl, powder sifter onto water, mix 1 min (longer mix dec working time), reduce air entrapment (bubbles) by high frequency/low amplitude vibration

35
Q

longer mixing time for gypsum

A

dec working time

36
Q

mechanical mix

A

mix water and powder, stir, mix in vacuum, vibrate, attach hose and mix, take of lid, vibrate with lid just barely on, RINSE LID!! Vibrate on smaller machine while you put in each tooth slowly

37
Q

mechanical mix/pouring of an impression

A

mix water and powder, stir, mix in vacuum, vibrate, attach hose and mix, take of lid, vibrate with lid just barely on, RINSE LID!! Vibrate on smaller machine while you put in each tooth slowly, clean bowl out in garbage and sink

38
