lecture 5 Flashcards
3 types of impression material
rigid
plastic
elastic
impression material
used to make negative molds of teeth
transfer to gypsum model
two types of rigid impression material
ZOE
plaster
two types of plastic impression material
wax
compound
two types of elastic impression material
hydrocolloids
elastomers
what is irreversible hydrocolloid
alginate (water base)
viscoelastic
hydrocolloid or elastomers
hydrophobic synthetic impression material
polysulfides, siloxane, polyethers
Gypsum products
dental plaster or stone
ideal properties of gypsum products
cheap long shelf life pleasant to patient good handling properties biocompatibility
alginates
-water based impression material
-calcium crosslinked
used as impression material for removable partial dentures, complete dentures, orthodontic models, and study models
NOT use for crown and bridge because not enough detail
alginates are soluble in what and form what
water, form “sol”- resembles a solution but made up of colloidal particles dispersed in a liquid
calcium cross link of alginates
ties two chains together. network of polymer chains
setting reaction of alginate
sol –> gel formation
temperature controlled (reversable)
chemically controlled (irreversible)
cured by mixing water with powder. Disolve Ca ions that cross link alginate molecules
dimensional stability
water loss and gain, cuz its water based undergoes shrinkage or expansion
syneris
loss of water to surrounding
