Q

What does agar require?

A

water bath conditioning:
100 degrees- gel to sol
65 degrees- holding temperature
45 degrees- clinical usage

17
Q

disadvantages of agar?

A

cross infection
requires specialist equipment
low tear strength
dimensionally unstable due to water content

18
Q

What is the composition of alginate?

A

sodium of potassium salt of alginic acid 11-16%

cross linked gel when set

19
Q

What is the source for cross linking setting reaction?

A

calcium

20
Q

What controls working time of alginate?

A

sodium phosphate

21
Q

How does sodium phosphate control working time?

A

limits availability of calcium ions

22
Q

What are properties of alginate?

A
low viscosity- mucostatic
aqequate working time
sets by tissues first
elastic
no less than 3-5 mm thick
23
Q

How should imps be disinfected?

A

achtochlor tablets x 10 in 1000mls

2 minutes
