L2-Impression and Impression Materials + Trays and Retention Flashcards
Goal of impression
depends on…
- type of impression depends on..
- purpose of impression depends on…
- type of prostheis
what will tear easier… alginate or PVS?
alginate
Primary cast - purpose?
Support and Surface Area
DIAGNOSTIC
capture the SA and see what support we can get
T/F you can fabricate a denture on a primary cast
FALSE
Secondary cast - purpose?
RETENTION
can see more defined rugae and more accuracy here
make sure to have right type of trey and material
RETENTION is a function of what? (five)
- patient adaption
- polished surface contour
- atmospheric pressure
- adhesion
- cohesion
adhesion and how to increase it
attraction of DIFFERENT molecules to each other - and increases by increasing SURFACE AREA
cohesion and how to increase it
attraction of the IDENTICAL molecules to each other - increase by increasing CONTACT (closeness)
atmospheric pressure
the pressure exerted on the denture by the air around it vs the LACK OF AIR inside the denture
is adhesion enough for denture retention?
NO - need the addition of cohesion
clinical significance of saliva-mucosa and attraction type?
adhesion
saliva-denture attraction is an example of?
adhesion
saliva-saliva attraction is an example of?
Cohesion attraction
what contributes to the suction formed by posterior palatal seal?
atmospheric pressure and by using mucodynamic capture of the folds by the final impression
atmospheric border seal - clinical significance
the contact of the denture border with the underlying or adjacent tissues to prevent the passage of air or other substances
wash impression material?
VERY light bodied - barely signals on tissue and barely compresses the tissue so we can see detail of rugae and any other detail on the surface
this is a very low viscocity material
Muco-dynamic where? wht?
at the borders to create SUCTION
Muco-static where? why?
everywhere else
to limit resorption and increase cohesion
why cover as much surface area as possible?
to reduce movement and limit resorption and increase adhesion
muco-dynamic definition
selective displacing certain musculature and tissues of the oral cavity during an impression to force out air, changing the atmospheric pressure and create suction
muco-static definition
an impression taken without displacing any tissue - the mucosal tissues of the jaws as they are in a state of rest..
how do we (steps) for making impressions for edentulous?
- preliminary and final
- border molding and final impressions
- selective impressioning -
impression compound, ZOE paste and plaster are rigid or elastomeric?
rigid — NOT GOOD FOR UNDERCUTS
hydrocolloids, Polysulfide (rubber-base), silicones (PVS) and polyether are rigid or elastomeric?
elastomeric - GOOD FOR UNDERCUTS
impression compound is reversible or irreversible?
reversible
impression compound used when?
for preliminary impressions - also alginate
