Q

BASIC IMPRESSION
TECHNIQUE
(7)

A

THE MATERIAL SELECTED DEPENDS UPON THE
DENTIST’S PREFERENCE AND THE TYPE OF IMPRESSION
REQUIRED FOR THE PROCEDURE
THE DENTIST PREPARES THE TOOTH OR TEETH FOR THE
IMPRESSION
THE LIGHT-BODIED MATERIAL IS PREPARED AND
LOADED INTO THE SYRINGE AND TRANSFERRED TO THE
DENTIST
THE DENTIST PLACES THE LIGHT-BODIED MATERIAL
OVER AND AROUND THE PREPARED TEETH AND ONTO
THE SURROUNDING TISSUES.
5
THE HEAVY-BODIED MATERIAL IS PREPARED AND
LOADED INTO the tray and transferred TO THE
DENTIST
6
WHEN THE IMPRESSION MATERIAL HÀS REACHED FINAL
SET. THE IMPRESSION IS REMOVED AND INSPECTED
FOR ACCURACY
7
THE IMPRESSION IS DISINFECTED, PLACED IN A
BIOHAZARD BAG, LABELED,
AND READIED FOR THE
LABORATORY TECHNICIAN.

Q

Composition and Setting Reaction of Alginate
*ALGINATE IS PROVIDED AS A POWDER, WHICH CONTAINS THE
FOLLOWING INGREDIENTS:
(9)

*POTASSIUM OR SODIUM ALGINATE:
*CALCIUM SULPHATE DIHYDRATE:
*ZINC OXIDE:
*POTASSIUM TITANIUM FLUORIDE:
*DIATOMACEOUS EARTH:
*TRISODIUM PHOSPHATE:
*COLORING AGENTS
*FLAVORING AGENTS

41
Q

*POTASSIUM OR SODIUM ALGINATE:

A

DISSOLVES IN WATER AND
REACTS WITH CALCIUM IONS

42
Q

*CALCIUM SULPHATE DIHYDRATE:

A

A REACTOR, REACTS WITH
POTASSIUM ALGINATE TO FORM A DIHYDRATE INSOLUBLE ALGINATE
GEL

43
Q

*ZINC OXIDE:

A

FILLER PARTICLES, AFFECTS PROPERTIES AND SETTING
TIME

44
Q

*POTASSIUM TITANIUM FLUORIDE:

A

ACCELERATOR, COUNTERACTS
THE INHIBITING EFFECT OF THE HYDROCOLLOID ON THE SETTING OF
STONE; ENSURES GOOD QUALITY SURFACE OF THE CAST

45
Q

*DIATOMACEOUS EARTH:

A

FILLER PARTICLES, CONTROLS THE
CONSISTENCY OF THE MIX AND THE FLEXIBILITY OF THE SET
ALGINATE

46
Q

*TRISODIUM PHOSPHATE:

A

RETARDER, CONTROLS THE SETTING TIME
TO PRODUCE EITHER REGULAR OR FAST-SET ALGINATES

47
Q

Technique:

A

THE FIRST STEP OF MANIpulation
OF WATER AND POWDER
ATION IS TO PREPARE A PROPER MIX
THE MEASURED POWDER IS SIFTED INTO PREMEASURED WATER THA
HAS ALREADY BEEN POURED INTO A CLEAN RUBBER BOWL
E
THE WATER IS ADDED FIRST TO WET THE MIXING BOWL AND TO ENSURE
COMPLETE WETTING OF POWDER PARTICLES
CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO AVOID INCORPORATING AIR INTO THE MIX.
THE MIXING TIME IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT; 45 SEC TO 1 MIN IS
GENERALLY SUFFICIENT, DEPENDING ON THE BRAND AND TYPE OF
ALGINATE (FAST-SET OR REGULAR-SET)
CONTAMINANTS, SUCH AS SMALL AMOUNTS OF GYPSUM LEFT IN THE
BOWL FROM A PREVIOUS MIX OF PLASTER OR STONE, CAN
ACCELERATE THE SET.
THE TRAY MUST FIT THE PATIENT’S ARCH SO THAT THERE IS
SUFFICIENT BULK OF MATERIAL.
THE THICKNESS OF THE
ALGINATE IMPRESSION BETWEEN THE TRAY AND THE TISSUES
SHOULD BE AT LEAST 3 MM
MOST MANUFACTURERS RECOMMEND A SPECIFIC DISINFECTANT
SUCH AS IODOPHOR, BLEACH, OR GLUTARALDEHYDE, WHICH
SHOULD BE USED ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER’S
DIRECTIONS.
THE CURRENT PROTOCOL FOR DISINFECTING HYDROCOLLOID
IMPRESSIONS RECOMMENDED BY THE CENTER FOR DISEASE
CONTROL IS TO USE HOUSEHOLD BLEACH (1 TO 10 DILUTION),
IODOPHORS, OR SYNTHETIC PHENOLS AS DISINFECTANTS. AFTER
THE IMPRESSION IS RINSED THOROUGHLY, THE DISINFECTANT CAN
BE SPRAYED LIBERALLY ON THE EXPOSED SURFACE. THE
IMPRESSION IS THEN WRAPPED IMMEDIATELY IN A DISINFECTANT-
SOAKED PAPER TOWEL AND PLACED IN A SEALED PLASTIC BAG FOR
10 MIN.
FINALLY, THE WRAPPED IMPRESSION IS REMOVED FROM THE
BAG, UNWRAPPED, RINSED, AND SHAKEN TO REMOVE
EXCESS WATER.
THE STONE CAST SHOULD BE KEPT IN CONTACT WITH THE
IMPRESSION PREFERABLY FOR 60 MIN, BEFORE THE
IMPRESSION IS SEPARATED FROM THE CAST,
IT IS WISE TO SEPARATE THE CAST FROM THE IMPRESSION
WITHIN À REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME SO THAT
DESICCATION OF THE HYDROCOLLOID DOES NOT OCCUR,
THEREBY CAUSING ABRASION OF THE GYPSUM CAST DURING
ITS REMOVAL.
TWO MAJOR FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE SHELF LIFE OF
ALGINATE IMPRESSION MATERIALS ARE STORAGE
TEMPERATURE AND MOISTURE CONTAMINATION FROM
AMBIENT AIR.

SIMPLY
“RUBBER BASE”

BASE AND AN ACCELERATOR

55
Q

POLYSULFIDE
COMPOSITION:
(2)

A

THE BASE CONTAINS A LIQUID POLYSULFIDE POLYMER MIXED
WITH AN INERT FILLER

57
Q

MANIPULATION AND TECHNIQUE
CONSIDERATIONS FOR VINYL POLYSILOXANE
MATERIAL
(5)

A

THE MATERIAL HÀS A LIMITED SHELF LIFE
THE TRAY REOUIRES À SPECIAL TRAY ADHESIVE
NO SYNERESIS OR IMBIBITION BUT DOES RESPOND
WITH SHRINKAGE OVER TIME
THE MATERIAL IS MORE FLEXIBLE,
SO THERE IS MORE
CHANCE FOR DISTORTION DURING REMOVAL
* WAIT 20 TO 30 MINUTES BEFORE POURING OF MODELS
FOR STRESS RELAXATION TO OCCUR.

58
Q

Manipulation and Technique
Considerations
For Vinyl Polysiloxane
(4)

A
  • FOR DIMENSIONAL STABILITY,
    THIS IS THE BEST
    IMPRESSION MATERIAL
  • POURING OF THE MODEL CAN BE DELAYED UP TO 7 TO
    10 DAYS
  • STIFFNESS OF THE MATERIAL MAKES REMOVAL OF THE
    TRAY DIFFICULT.
  • MATERIAL DISPENSED USING AUTO-MIXING UNIT AND
    MIXING TIPS.
