What are the advantages of impression plaster
- Mucostatic impression technique
- Hydrophilic
- Accuracy
- Minimal dimensional change
What are the disadvantages of impression plaster
- Dryness of mouth
- Very brittle
- not suitable for recording undercuts
- difficult to remove
How do you disinfect impression plaster
10 minutes soaked in 10% sodium hypo chlorite solution
What’s the use of impression plaster
patients with excessively mobile soft tissues overlying the residual alveolar bone
Which nonelastic impression materials are thermoplastic
- Impression compound
- Impression waxes
What is the function of filler in impression compound
- increasing viscosity of the softened material
- reduces thermal contraction
What is the function of lubricant in impression compound
Improves flow properties
What is the composition of impression compound
- Thermal plastic material 47% natural or synthetic raisins and waxes
- filler 50% Talc
- Lubricant 3% stearic acid
What are the uses of the different types of impression compounds
- Type one- low fusing and medium fusing: Used as impression material, Border extension and single crown impression
- Type two - higher fusing: used to construct impression trays
What is copper ring technique
It is use from making an impression of a single crown. Copper tube is used. It’s places around the tooth and acts as a tray. Type one impression compound is softened and pressed over the tooth in the ring. electroform dies
What are the factors affecting performance of impression compound Sheet form during manipulation
- Conditioning temperature
- time of conditioning in water bath
What is the ideal conditioning temperature for impression compound sheet form
55 to 60°C
