lecture 7- impression materials and tech Flashcards
used to make initial impressions from mounted casts PRIOR to fixed proths work
alginate
alginate is ___based and
water based
irreversible when water is added
softens under heat and solidifies when cooled
reversable hydrocolloid
chemical reaction that cannot revert to preset state
irreversible hydrocolloid
There is no chemical change making the
changes permanent. Therefore, this is
reversible
reversable hydrocolloid
➢ Chemical change is permanent. Therefore,
this is non-reversible
➢ Alginate is in this category
irreversible hydrocolloid
Alginate is ____, so moist tissue surfaces are not a hindrance to the
impression unlike PVS materials.
hydrophilic
any substance consisting of particles
substantially larger than atoms or ordinary molecules but too small to be visible to the unaided eye
-agar or alginate dissolved in water
colloidal materials
a process that converts a colloidal solution into a gel-like network:
agar: reversible due to _______
alingate: irreversible due to:____-
sol to gel
agar: temp change
alginate: chemical rxn
3 properties related to gel network
- evaporation (shrinkage)
- syneresis: get relaxation; water extruded from gel (shrinkage)
- imbibition: absorption of water causing expansion
this reacts with calcium ions and is the powder
Na alginate (or potassium alginate)
reacts with Potassium Alginate to form a dihydrate insoluble alginate gel
-it is the gel
calcium alginate
powder to liquid rato is used. add what first?
avoid incorporating what into mix?
water first
avoid mixing in air
alginate is provided as a powder, which contains the following reacting ingredients:
Potassium or Sodium Alginate(15-20%)
and
Calcium Sulphate Dihydrate (14-20%):
what is alginate mixing time
45-60 seconds
based on fast set or regular set so dont be slow!
what is the thickness of alginate should be
3mm in tray
After pouring the impression, the stone cast
should not be separated for:
with yellow stone
60 mins with yellow stone
CDC recommend _____ dilution of household
bleach for disinfection
1:10 ratio
Impression placed in small what for transfer and so not dry out
Ziploc baggie
or head rest cover with a few drops of
water in the bottom of the baggie and
is sealed.
the
two major factors that affects the shelf
life of the impression
storage temp and moisture
If you remove your impression from the
mouth, rinse it off, and then wrap the
impression with a wet paper towel, what
will happen?
alginate absorbs more water as it continues to harden and the material swells
now anything made from that impression will NOT fit because the model has distorted as it absorbed water
placing in bag with 2-3 drop sof water sealed allows
alginate to not dehydrate as it sets, but does
not provide so much water as to cause further
absorption and distoration
(alginate is hydrophilic- water loving)
The diagnostic cast should be removed from the impression approximately
_______ after its final set.
one hour
What is a Dental Impression for
Fixed Prosthodontics?
analogue impression
-A negative likeness or copy in reverse of the surface of an object
-An imprint of the teeth and adjacent structures for
use in dentistry
-Made from soft semi-fluid material allowed to set
analogue impression
method and manner used in making a negative likeness
impression technique
device that is used to carry, confine,
and control impression material while making an
impression
impression tray
What do we look for in a dental impression?
-Exact duplication of the prepared teeth
-Includes uncut tooth structure beyond finish line
-Accurate reproduction of the other teeth and tissues
-Free of air bubbles specifically in the finish line and occlusal surfaces
-Extended enough to capture the vestibule,
tuberosities, and retromolar pad is ideal
Impression Tray Selection Criteria
1. Extended slightly beyond the _____ surfaces of the teeth
2. Extended approximately_____beyond the 3rd molar, retromolar, or tuberosity
3. Sufficiently deep to allow _____ of material between the tray and the occlusal/incisal
edges
- facial/buccal
- 2 -3 mm
- 2 -3 mm
Tray must be sufficiently rigid to:
- Carry the impression material into the oral cavity
- Hold the material in close proximity to the teeth
- Avoid breaking during removal
- Prevent wrapping of the completed impression
- Plastic or metal; perforated or rimmed
- Complete arch, quadrant, or dual arch
- Dentate or edentulous arch
stock trays
- Made in advance
- Light cured, auto cured, or thermoformed
- Better fit than stock trays
- Less material waste
- Controlled thickness of material
- Increased accuracy
custom trays
used to prevent impression
distortion due to material pulling away from
tray
adhesive
provides chemical adhesion
adhesive
adhesive materials:
1
2
3
- Specific for each material; including Alginate
- Should always be used
- Apply and dry
what is the goal of impression technique for single crown
fully or slightly overextended impression of
the arch, with all anatomical landmarks
what is the purpose (or what we want to see) for good impression technique for single crown
- Evaluate arch form
- Anatomical landmarks
- Musculature
- Hard and soft tissue anomalies
- Restorative space
The material selected is dependent on the type of
impression required for the procedure
tissue retraction for impression technique of single crown
single or double cord technique; cord/s removed right before impression making
for single crown, the custom tray with dried adhesive is loaded with medium or heavy body material and seated with some downward pressure for how long
once set, it is remove quickly how
impression is than disinfected and inspected
4-6 mins
gently and straight as possible
what impression material is
1.rigid, cannot be removed from undercuts
2.best for edentulous impressions
nnonelastic
