Q

polysulphide composition

A
Base paste
-	polysulphide
-	filler (TiO2)
Activator pate
-	sulphur
-	lead dioxide
-	plasticiser (dibutyl phthalate)
17
Q

how do polysulpides change state

A

liquid to solid
sulphur groups join the tw chains
condensation polumerisation

18
Q

applications of polysulphides

A

1) Crown
2) Bridge work
3) partial denture
4) over dentures
5) implants

19
Q

polyether impression material

A
Base paste
-	polyether
-	filler (colloidal silica)
Activator paste
-	filler
-	plasticiser (dibutyl phthalate)
-	aromatic sulphonate ester
20
Q

how is polyether set

A

cross linking with amine group ends

addition polymerisation

21
Q

addition polymerisation sets

A

activation
initiaiton
propagation
termination

22
Q

applications for polyether

A

1) crowns
2) bridge work
3) partial dentures
4) implants
5) over dentures

23
Q

silicon impression composition for condensation cured

A
Base paste 
-	silicone polymer
-	filler (colloidal silica)
-	organo tin compound
activator paste
-	silicone polymer
-	filler (colodial silica)
-	tetra-ethyl silicate)
Hydroxyl groups 
tin is the catalyst
-	condensation reaction with release of a a molecule eg ethanol (depends on what is joining)
24
Q

silicon impression composition for addition cured

A
Base paste 
-	silicone polymer
-	filler (colloidal silica)
-	silanol
activator paste
-	silicone polymer
-	filler (colodial silica)
-	Pt catalyst

Reaction is driven by a radical by addition polymerisation
no by products

25
Q

applicaitonsfor silicone

A

1) crown
2) bridge work
3) partial dentures
4) implants
5) over dentures

26
Q

Elastomertic impression materials merits

A

handling
- polysulhpides and condensation cured silicone difficult to mix
Working/setting times
- polysulphides long tie
condensation cured erratic setting due to moisture contamination
polyethers good setting times
addition cured silicones can be inhibited by latex gloves

27
Q

mechanical properties and order

A

stiffness
- PSPE>CCS>ACS
tear strength
PS»PE>CS=AS

28
Q

surface detail of elastomers

A

polyethers best

all have good reproduction of surface detail

29
Q

failures of impressions

A

rough or uneven surface
air bubbles
irregualr shaped voids

30
Q

what can cause air bbbles

A

rapid set
improper miing
surface contamination e.g. moisture

31
Q

poor fit of impressions

A

distortion

casting too big/too small

32
Q

intraoral scanners ad and dis

A
Ad:
-	patient comfort
-	dentist auto evaluation
-	reduced model time
-	favours clinical lab communication
Dis
-	cost investment 
-	training
-	just surface registration
-	coating (as that laser might not get insuffiencent detail)
