fine diamonds
fluted carbides

46
Q

53
Q

A fusible metal alloy used to unite the edges or surfaces of two pieces of metal

A

solder

54
Q

This is a designation given to gold solders to indicate the proportion of pure gold contained in 1000 parts

A

Fineness

55
Q

High fusing alloys that slightly melt beneath the softening point of the parent alloy to be joined; should flow well above the fusion range of the subsequent applied porcelain

A

pre-ceramic solders

56
Q

What is the gap distance for soldering complete gold FPDs?

A

-0.25mm

57
Q
Difficult (narrow melting range)
Volatization of base metal

Disadvantages of Pre-Ceramic soldering

58
Q

Low fusing alloys that melt bellow the pyroplastic range of the porcelain

A

post-ceramic solders

59
Q

Less chance of sag or deformation of the framework
Slightly weaker and more brittle solder joint since frame work cannot be quenched
Small gap space for solder= incomplete joint
Large gap space for solder = decreases strength, higher porosity, higher meniscus, more difficult to solder

A

disadvantages of post-ceramic soldering

This is used to limit the spreading of the solder
It is placed in areas of the casting before the flux to prevent the flow of the molten solder
Typically graphite or rouge (iron oxide) with turpentine as a solvent are used in this

A

Antiflux

61
Q
This is a substance applied to the metal surface to be soldered to remove oxides or prevent their formation
Borax Glass (Na2B4O7) with gold alloys comprise this substance

Fused quartz

63
Q

How do you restore fatigued color vision?

Metamerism

65
Q

What are the 3 components of color

A

Chroma

69
Q

3rd step in vita shade selection

A

Value

70
Q

What should you do to enhance your ability to distinguish value?

A

squint- decreases light –> diminish cone sensitivity, increase rod sensitivity

73
Q

How do you trick the eye in to thinking teeth are wider/narrower?

A

Move line angles out/in

74
Q

What are the disadvantages of the external color modification and characterization?

A
  • causes a loss of fluorescence

- increases the effect of metamerism

75
Q

How do you externally modify chroma?

A

-add yellow or orange

76
Q

How do you externally modify hue?

A
  • add pink/purple to move towards red
