Q

What is the purpose of the sodium alginate ?

A

Hydrogel former

21
Q

What is the purpose of calcium sulphate dihydrate?

A

Calcium ions for x linking

22
Q

What is the purpose of potassium sulphate?

23
Q

What is the purpose of sodium Phosohate?

A

Controls working time

24
Q

What is the purpose of sodium silicofluroide?

A

Controls pH

25
Q

What are the advantages of alginate?

A

Detail okay for dentures
Short setting time
Cheap

26
Q

What are the diasadvantes of alginate?

A

Not good enough for crown and bridge
User dependant mixing
Moisture contamination limited shelf life
Susceptible to syneresis AND Imbibition
Muse be kept damp and model pored quickly
Low teear strength

27
Q

How thick must the layer of alginate be?

28
Q

What are Polysulfide?

A

Polymer with mercaptan groups.

SH

29
Q

How does Polysulfide set?

A

Mercaptan groups are oxidised by an accelerator and hydrogen is removed releasing water

30
Q

What are the advantages and dis of Polysulfide?

A

Highest tear stengh
Good detsail

Bad taste and smell

31
Q

What are polyethers?

A

Polymer with imine functional groups

CH2-N-CH2

32
Q

T/F Polyether need an activator?

A

T

Aromatic sulfonate ester

33
Q

How does polyethers set?

A

Cross linking between the chains

34
Q

What are the ad and dis of Polyether?

A

AD: good detail, good dimensional stab, least hydrophobic, v low setting shrinkage

Dis: stiffest, single viscosity only, swells in moisture, difficult to disinfect

35
Q

What are silicones?

A

Si-O backbone with alkyl groups

36
Q

What are condensation cured silicones?

A

Polydimethyl siloxane polymer with OH terminal groups

37
Q

What antivator is needed in condensation cured silicones?

A

Tetraethyl silicate

TES

38
Q

What are addition cure silicones?

A

Polydemetyl siloxane polymer with vinyl terminal groups

C=CH2

39
Q

What is then activator needed in additions cured silicones?

A

Platinum catalyst and silanol

40
Q

Which materials have the greatest setting shrinkage?

A

They all since they are polymers

41
Q

T/F setting shrinkage is bad?

A

Not always since gives some room for cement but you want litlle or no shrinkage

42
Q

Which material contracts or expands the most?

A

Polyether

ACS and CCS are the same

43
Q

Why do polymers shrink on setting?

A

Difference in temp between room and mouth

44
Q

Which polymer has the best storage and long term stability?

A

ACS

This is how use CCS release alcohol and polysufides release water

45
Q

T/F you ewnt your impression materials to be hydrophilic?

46
Q

T/F you want impression materials to have a low tear strength?

A

F
Low means it tears easily ie when being pulled from undercuts

High means it doesn’t tear
You want a mod high tear strength

47
Q

What are the advantages and dis of condensation cured?

A

Good details
Wide range of Viscosity
Small setting shrinkage

BUT hydrophobic, release alcohol song must be poured quick, TES hydrolysed in moisture, harder to mix than ACS

48
Q

What are the advantages and dis of addtion cured?

A

Good: detail, wide range of viscosity, very good dimensional stab, v low setting shrinkage

BUt: V hydrophobic

49
Q

What material do you use for primary impression of completes?

A

Impression compound in edentulous tray and wash impression with alginate for better detail

When impression compound at correct temperature it has shiny surface

Alginate

50
Q

What materials can you use for secondary impressions?

A

Upper and lower arch with minimal or no undercut use a CLOSE FITTING TRAY with LIGHT BODIED SILCONE or ZINc OXIDE (NB can use medium bodied as well for lower)

Upper and lower arch with flabby ridge or marked undercut then SPACED TRSY OF 1.5mm With ALGINATE or MEDIUM BODIED SILICONE
