14
Q

what happens during the setting process?

A

hemihydrate dissolves
dihydrate forms
dihydrate solubility low-supersaturated solution
dihydrate crystals precipitate on impurities as crystals
more hemihydrate dissolved
continues until all hemihydrate dissolved

15
Q

describe the initial set

A 
dihydrate crystals come together
-grow until contact each other
expansion starts
properties of weak solid will not flow
can be carved
can be carved

16
Q

describe the final set

A

strong and hard enough to be worked
strength continues to develop
crystals large dif size & shape

17
Q

what happens to water during setting?

A

excess water trapped in the powder mass

18
Q

what happens to water on completion of setting?

A

excess water evaporates

voids produced-porosity

19
Q

describe gypsums reproduction of surface detail

A

inherently porous resulting in relatively rough surface
-28-40um
good enough for most applications

20
Q

describe gypsums strength

A 
compressive strength
-28-38mPa
develops over 24h
-75MPa
stone stronger as requires less water for workable mix
improved stone strongest
21
Q

describe its surface hardness

A

low
-surface easy to abrade
-not ideal
must be careful when handling

22
Q

describe setting time

A

must be convenient for user

user must be aware of factors that affect this and use accordingly

23
Q

what factors decrease setting time?

A

more powder, spatulation, impurities

24
Q

what factors can increase or decrease setting time?

A

temperature
chemicals
-borax, K2SO4

25
Q

what factors increase expansion?

A

more powder, spatulation, impurities

26
Q

what factor decreases expansion?

A

chemicals

27
Q

why does spatulation decrease setting time and increase expansion?

A

breaks down growing crystals
fragments act as nuclei of crystallisation
more growing crystals come in contact sooner

28
Q

why does increasing powder cause faster set and increase expansion?

A

more nuclei of crystallisation per unit volume

crystals come into contact sooner

29
Q

describe expansion on setting

A 
should be small % otherwise problematic
plaster 0.2-0.2
stone 0.08 -0.1
densite 0.05-0.07
allows model to be a little big so crowns etc. not too tight in mouth
30
Q

what happens when temp increased?

A

rate of diffusions of ions increase with temp

solubility of hemihydrate decreased with increased temp

31
Q

why does potassium sulphate decrease setting time?

A

produces syngenite

crystallises rapidly-encourages growth of more crystals

32
Q

why does borax increase setting time?

A

forms calcium borate- deposits dihydrate crystals

33
Q

describe compatibility with impression material

A

dental stone model surface detail depends on type of impression material

  • needs to be chemically compatible
  • must be wet
  • avoid bubble formation
34
Q

describe bittleness

A

flexural strength 15-20MPa

much more brittle than composite resin 150MPa
