MATERIALS USED IN THE MANAGEMENT OF EDENTULOUS PATIENTS (j) Flashcards
physical attraction of unlike molecules, such as saliva and mucous membrane
Adhesion
the physical attraction of like molecules for each other, such as within the saliva layer
Cohesion
is the attraction between the molecules of two different substances
adhesion
is the attraction between the molecules or atoms of the same substance
cohesion
also called a “suction” or “negative pressure”
ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE
may act to resist dislodging forces applied to dentures if the dentures have an effective seal around their borders
ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE
may act as a retentive force for the mandibular denture but as a displacing force for the maxillary denture
GRAVITY
T/ F
Upon removal from the mouth, the set impression should show adequate elastic recovery with no permanent
deformation
T
means it has high resistance to flowing
high viscosity
used as a mucostatic impression because it does not compress and displace tissues during seating of the tray
IMPRESSION PLASTER
→ recommended as it is very brittle
→ can undergo virtually no compressive or tensile strength without
fracturing
IMPRESSION PLASTER
applications of ZOE impression:
o mainly used for final impressions of edentulous ridges with
minor or no undercuts
o wash impression
ZINC OXIDE EUGENOL IMPRESSION PASTE
impression material for edentulous patients
Cakes
as border molding material for the custom tray; the material is used before making the final impression
Sticks
