The process of heating of gypsum for the
manufacture of plaster.
Calcination
Depending on the method of calcination there are two forms of hemihydrate.
ALPHA and BETA HEMIHYDRATE
MANUFACTURE OF DENTAL PLASTER
Gypsum is ground and heated in an open kettle on
kiln at a temperature of __-__C. This process is called ____.
110 to 130◦C; dry calcination
MANUFACTURE OF DENTAL STONE
Gypsum is calcined under steam pressure in an autoclave at __ to __◦C at 17Ibs/sq. inch for 5 to 7 hrs.
120-130
When plaster is mixed with water it takes up one and a half molecule of water.
Hemihydrate + water → Dihydrate + unreacted hemihydrate + heat
SETTING REACTION
The product of the reaction is gypsum.
setting reaction
The heat evolved in the exothermic reaction is equivalent to the heat used originally in calcination.
SETTING REACTION
enumerate theories
- Colloidal theory
- Hydration theory
- Dissolution – precipitation theory
The time elapsing from the beginning of mixing until the
material is hard and can stand alone
SETTING TIME
● Hemihydrate crystals react to form dihydrate crystals. The viscosity of the mass is increased and it can no longer be poured. The material becomes rigid. It can be carved but not moulded.
● Can stand alone but still soft
INITIAL SETTING TIME
● The time at which the material can be separated from the impression without distortion or fracture.
● Measure scientifically using needle which penetrates the set plaster stone, if it still penetrates it is not yet set.
FINAL SETTING TIME
3 MEASUREMENT OF SETTING TIME
[1] Loss of gloss method
[2] Exothermic reaction
[3] Penetration tests
MEASUREMENT OF SETTING TIME
- Occur when excess water in the mix is taken up in forming the dihydrate
- This occurs approximately at 9 mins and the mass has no measurable compressive strength.
Loss of gloss method
MEASUREMENT OF SETTING TIME
- The setting reaction produces or releases heat.
- If it is still hot, it is still not set; when heat disappears, it is set.
Exothermic reaction
MEASUREMENT OF SETTING TIME
- using PENETROMETER
- The time elapsing from the start mixing till the needle does not penetrate to the button of the plaster is the setting time
Penetration tests
TYPES OF PENETROMETERS
- Vicat needle
- Gillmore needles (Initial Gillmore & Final Gillmore)
TYPES OF PENETROMETERS
- it weighs 300 gm and the needle diameter is 1mm.
Vicat needle

■ Weight : 1/4 lb
■ Diameter : 1/12 in (2.12mm)
- ___ - Bigger one used to measure final setting time
■ Weight : 1 lb
■ Diameter : 1/24 in (1.06mm)
- initial gillmore (small)
- final gillmore (large)
5 FACTORS AFFECTING SETTING TIME
- Manufacturing process
- Mixing and spatulation
- Water/Powder ratio
- Temperature
- Modifiers
[MaMiWPTeMo]
The more water used, the ___ the setting time
The less water used, the ___ the setting time
longer; shorter
The higher the temperature, the ___ the setting time
The lower the temperature, the ___ the setting time
shorter; longer
Chemicals added in order to alter some of the properties and make it more acceptable to the dentist.
MODIFIERS
If the chemical added decreases the setting time, it is called an ___.
it increases the setting time, it is called a ___.
accelerator; retarder
(⬆️ / ⬇️)
- accelerator: __ setting time, __ rate of rxn
- retarder: __ setting time, __ rate of rxn
- accelerator: ⬇️ setting time, ⬆️ rate of rxn
- retarder: ⬆️ setting time, ⬇️ rate of rxn
4 PROPERTIES OF GYPSUM PRODUCTS
- Setting expansion
- Strength
- Hardness and abrasion resistance
- Reproduction of detail
[SeStHaRe]
The dimensional increase that occurs concurrently
with the hardening of various materials.
SETTING EXPANSION
2 TYPES OF SETTING EXPANSION
- Normal setting expansion
- Hygroscopic setting expansion
All gypsum products show linear expansion during setting, due to the outward thrust of the growing crystal during setting
Normal setting expansion
Factors affecting strength (wet and dry)
- W/P ratio (⬆️water, ⬇️strength)
- Spatulation (⬆️spatulation, ⬆️ strength)
- Addition of accelerator and retarder (⬇️strength)
The strength when excess free water is PRESENT in the set gypsum
Wet Strength
- The strength of gypsum when the excess free water is LOST due to EVAPORATION
- It’s two or more times greater than wet strength
Dry Strength
Name the varieties of gypsum
Alabaster → pure white, fine grained and translucent
Satin spar → fibrous needle like with silky lustre
Selenite → colorless, crystalline and transparent

cast; die; model
- Removing ¾th of water of crystallization by burning gypsum
- Process of heating gypsum for manufacturing plaster
calcination
process of manufacturing ____
- Gypsum is calcined by boiling it in 30% calcium chloride solution
- Chlorides are then washed away or autoclaved in presence of sodium succinate 0.5%
- Then it is grinded to obtain ____
Alpha Modified Stone or Improved stone
This reaction occurs in the dental laboratory (hemihydrate and water mixture), not in the manufacturing process
setting reaction of plaster
It acts by providing additional nuclei of crystallization

[lalabas sa exam]
tera-alba
solid-liquid separation and purification technique in which mass transfer occurs from the liquid solution to a pure solid crystalline phase
crystallization
Slow precipitation of crystals from a solution of a substance
CRYSTALLIZATION
The invisible water present in the gypsum
water crystallization
When impression plaster contains potato starch to make the impression soluble
soluble plaster
The actual amount of water necessary to mix the calcium sulphate hemihydrate is greater than the amount required for the chemical reaction, this is called
excess water
A stone with a setting time established by the addition of proper quantities of both accelerator and retarder is called —
balanced stone
- mixing time: __ min
- working time: __ min
- setting time:
1; 3
Initial time during setting before release of exothermic heat
induction period
- strength when the set mass has no excess water and the specimen is dry to touch
- It is 2-3 times more than wet strength.
dry strength
Gypsum is stable only below about __°C. Drying at higher temperature rapidly at __°C or higher, loss of water of crystallisation occurs which causes shrinkage and reduction in strength.
40; 100
it is a mixture of die stone and any one of the dental investment materials used to make die or master models.
divestments
As plaster is ___, it should be kept in air tight containers.
hygroscopic (absorb moisture from air)
Presence of more than 20% of NaCl , colloids like coagulated blood, etc. act as retarder to setting of plaster by wetting of the nuclei and their growth
nuclei poisoning
