Q

– Alginate sticking to teeth
• Loss of tooth pellicle
– Teeth just cleaned
– Repeated impressions
– Alginate pulling away from tray: adhesive not used
– Voids in critical areas
– Inadequate extension to soft tissue areas
– Layered impression: material on teeth/tissue set
before tray seated
– Granular impression: inadequate spatulation,
premature removal
– Contact between cusp tips & tray

Q

Which step of the pour is described?
– Impression filled with dental stone
– Suspend filled tray by handle for 10-12
minutes until initial set of stone
• Water rises to surface
• Tooth & tissue surface on
bottom stronger, more dense
– If invert tray immediately, teeth & soft
tissue surface weakest, least dense.
• Cast prone to abrasion during surveying.

Q

How long should you wait before separating cast from impression?

A

45-60 mins

17
Q
• Supplement oral cavity exam
–Potential problems more apparent
• Extruded teeth, tuberosity interferences, 
Interarch space, malposed teeth, 
occlusal plane problems
–Help to educate patient & aid in 
presentation of treatment plan
A

Mounted diagnostic casts

18
Q

• Relate MX cast to articulator condylar
elements at the same orientation of
maxillary teeth to patients’ condyles
– More accurate occlusion

A

Face-bow Transfer (Hanau)

19
Q

Q

What should the incisal table angle be set to on the Hanau articulator?

A

0 degrees

23
Q

If you have few teeth remaining, should you take a jaw relation in MIP or CR?

A

CR

24
Q

If you have numerous teeth with harmonious occlusion remaining, should you take a jaw relation in MIP or CR?
