Lec 2 Flashcards
also called as alginate
IRREVERSIBLE HYDROCOLLOID
→ preferred impression material in creating diagnostic casts
→ are essentially sodium or potassium salts of alginic acid and are
therefore water-soluble
IRREVERSIBLE HYDROCOLLOID
True or false
because irreversible hydrocolloid is largely water, it readily
absorbs (by inhibition) as well as gives off (by syneresis) liquid
to the atmosphere, causing distortion of the impression
True
True or false
Alginate impression is the negative copy of the oral cavity. Mixing time is measured from the beginning of integration of alginate with water until consolidation stage.
True
→ impression trays
→ modeling compound
→ mixing bowl
→ mixing spatula
→ gauze squares
→ irreversible hydrocolloid
→ American Dental Association (ADA) type IV or V stone
→ vacuum mixer
→ humidor
→ disinfectant
DIAGNOSTIC IMPRESSION TECHNIQUE
(ARMAMENTARIUM)
True or false
In TRAY SELECTION, tray selection should have a clearance of 1⁄8 inch
True
True or false
→ in reaching an important area in the palate, impression trays
are modified by extending the border with wax or modeling
compounds
→ plastic trays do not retain alginate as well as the metal trays
True
True or false
IMPRESSION MAKING
→ material is mixed to a homogeneous consistency and loaded into the tray, and its surface is smoothed with a moistened gloved finger
→ for optimum results, the teeth should be cleaned and the mouth thoroughly rinsed; some drying is necessary, but excessively dried tooth surfaces cause the irreversible hydrocolloid impression material to adhere
→ a slow gradual force is used in removing the impression taken using irreversible hydrocolloid
True
seemingly minor inaccuracies that can lead to serious diagnostic errors
EVALUATION
for an analysis, the diagnostic casts need to be attached to an articulator, a mechanical device that stimulates mandibular movement
ARTICULATOR SELECTION
True or false
articulators can simulate the movement of the condyles in their corresponding fossae; they are classified according to how closely they can reproduce mandibular border movements
their use often leads to restorations with occlusal discrepancies because these instruments do not have the capacity to reproduce the full range of mandibular movement
SMALL NON-ADJUSTABLE ARTICULATORS
practical approach to obtaining the necessary diagnostic information while minimizing the need for clinical adjustment during treatment
SEMI-ADJUSTABLE ARTICULATORS
has a wide range of positions and can be set to follow a patient’s border movements
FULLY ADJUSTABLE ARTICULATORS
→ this is useful when doing maxillofacial reconstructions
→ these are caliper-like devices used to record the anteroposterior
and mediolateral position of the maxillary occlusal surfaces
FACEBOWS
two types of facebows are recognized:
arbitrary and kinematic
True or false
the mandibular hinging movement around the transverse horizontal axis is repeatable
o facebows are used to record the anteroposterior and
mediolateral spatial position of the maxillary occlusal surfaces in relation to this transverse opening and closing axis of the patient’s mandible
o the facebow is then attached to the articulator to transfer the recorded relationship of the maxilla by ensuring that the corresponding cast is attached in the correct position in relation to the hinge axis of the instrument
True
