Impressions & Impression Materials For Complete and Partial Dentures plus Occlusal Rim Lab Video Flashcards
which property is more important for preliminary impressions?
ADHESION -Increases surface area, increase adhesion
adhesion
attraction of DIFFERENT molecules to each other.
how do you increase adhesion?
by increasing surface area
increase surface area = increase adhesion
cohesion
attraction of the IDENTICAL molecules to each other.
how do you increase cohesion?
increase by increasing the CONTACT (closeness)
atmospheric pressure
the pressure exerted on the denture by the air around it VS the LACK of air inside the denture
pressure differential between the inside and the outside of the denture
the amount of SUCTION present as formed by the POSTERIOR PALATAL SEAL (POST DAM) and the peripheral borders
physical properties of Denture Retention
adhesion, cohesion, atmospheric pressure
what is the best preliminary impression material for a patient who gags easily? why?
impression compound - due to its flow properties and its quick set time
- compound has a 10-15 second set time and can be removed before it is completely set
why is it important to use a mucostatic impression material to record soft tissues accurately and passively?
- helps limit movement
2. reduced denture caused bone loss
saliva - mucosa attraction?
adhesion
saliva-denture attraction?
adhesion
saliva-saliva attraction
cohesion
clinical significance of atmospheric pressure border seal
the contact of the denture border with the underlying or adjacent tissues to prevent the passage of air or other substances
- by using muco-dynamic border molding material
- creates the suction you need
great complete denture impressions are…
- muco-dynamic –> at the borders to create SUCTION
- muco-static–> everywhere else to LIMIT RESOPRTION AND INCREASE COHESION
- Covers as much surface area as possible to reduce movement and limite resorption and increase adhesion
muco-static will…
limit resorption and increase cohesion
muco-dynamic will…
definition?
create suction at the borders
selective displacing certain musculature and tissues of the oral cavity during an impression to force air out, changing the atmospheric pressure and creating suction
covering as much surface area as possible will…
reduce movement and limit resorption and increase adhesion
which impression material is too dynamic to accurately record soft tissues in edentulous impressions?
Alginate
what property (properties) does saliva contribute to and for denture retention?
- irrigation and lubrication of the mucous membrane
2. saliva enhances cohesion with enhances retention
retention is a function of?
- patient adaption
- polished surface contour
- atmospheric pressure
- adhesion
- cohesion
