IMPRESSION MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUE Flashcards
dental impression
an imprint or negative likeness
dental impression i made from
semi fluid material allowed to set
THE IDEAL IMPRESSION MATERIAL
(16)
easy to mix and handle
suitable working time
suitable setting time
compatible with die and stone
not toxic or allergenic to the pt
dimensionally stable on setting
accurate to record the fine details
has acceptable odor and taste
adequate strength
adequate shelf life
economical
ready to be disinfected w/o loss of accuracy
fluid or plastic when inserted into the mouth
it must be an exact record of all the aspects
other teeth and tissue surrounding
it must be free from air bubbles especially in the finish line area
IMPRESSION
CRITERIA
(3)
*exact duplication of prepared tooth, including uncut tooth beyond finish line
*accurate reproduction other teeth and tissues, permit cast articulation and restoration contouring
*free of bubbles especially in the finish line and occlusal surfaces of other teeth
IMPRESSION MATERIAL PROPERTIES
wettability
viscosity
pseudoplasticity
viscoelastic
WETTABILITY:
ability of liquid to flow over a solid surface
-related to surface energy of the solid and surface tension of the liquid
-contact angle of wetting
contact angle > 90:
surface not wetted
hydrophobic
contact angle <
90:
surface
wetted
hydrophilic
viscosity
resistance of a liquid to flow or motion. reverse of fluidity
-related to the unset, liquid material
liquids and viscosity:
newtonian:
pseudoplastic:
viscosity constant
decrease viscosity with increase shear rate
pseudoplasticity
shear thinning
-material does not flow until under pressure
-less viscous with increased shear rate
why same material used in tray and syringe
viscoelastic
characteristic of sloid that behaves as an elastic solid and viscous liquid
-related to the set impression
-mechanical properties dependent on loading rate
-mechanical properties dependent on loading rate
(4)
-associated with viscous nature
-as increase load rate, properties improved
-increase tear strength and elastic limit
-quick removal, decreased distortion
A
ACCURACY=
ABILITY TO REPLICATE THE INTRAORAL
SURFACE DETAILS
B
DIMENSIONAL STABILITY =
ABILITY TO RETAIN ITS
ABSOLUTE DIMENSIONAL SIZE OVER TIME.
C. TEAR RESISTANCE =
ABILITY TO RESIST TEARING IN
THIN SECTIONS (SUCH AS THROUGH THE FEATHER-
EDGED MATERIAL WITHIN THE GINGIVAL SULCUS).
IMPRESSION MATERIALS
ELASTIC
(5)
FIRST ELASTIC IMPRESSION MATERIAL (REVERSIBLE HYDROCOLLOID
IRREVERSIBLE HYDROCOLLOID (ALGINATE)
POLYSULFIDE RUBBER
VINYL POLY SILOXANES
POLYETHERS
IMPRESSION MATERIALS
RIGID
THE FIRST IMPRESSION MATERIALS WERE MOST POPULAR THE PREVIOUS CENTURY
-PLASTER OF PARIS
-IMPRESSION PLASTER
-GUTTA PERCHA
-MODELING COMPOUND=IMPRESSION COMPOUND= MODELING PLASTIC
-VARIOUS WAXES
NOT COMMONLY USED NOW WITH THE EXCEPTION OF RECORDING ATROPHIC
EDENTULOUS RIDGES (ESP. MANDIBULAR)
irreversible
chemical rxn, cannot revert to preset state. primary bonds
reversible
(2)
-softens under heat and solidifies when cooled
-secondary bonds, no chemical change
inelastic
(2)
-rigid, cannot be removed from undercuts
-edentulous impressions
elastic (2)
-can be removed from undercuts without distortion
-dentate impressions
