ProsthoMat Flashcards
Eugenol effect?
eugenol is extracted from?
obtundent effect / relief
from oil of cloves
more stable technique to soften the impression compound
dry heat - best for the material
water bath - more convenient, best for patient and dentist
elastic impression material with the least tear strength
Hydrocolloids
(reversible > irrev)
ability of material to change its form based on temperature
Hysteresis - only seen in reversible hydrocolloids (agar)
a. Liquefaction - gel to sol (boiling)
b. gelation - sol to gel
*imbibition - absorbs water
syneresis - releases water
components of reversible hydrocolloids? principal component
water (85%) - principal
agar (15%) (sometimes w/ borax)
effect of borax to dental materials
+gypsum = retarder
+agar = hardener
least dimensionally stable impression material, shortest setting time and least expensive
irreversible hydrocolloids (alginate)
components of irreversible hydrocolloids? principal component? major component?
sodium alginate/potassium alginate - reactor (major)
calcium sulfate - reactor
diatomaceous earth/silica - filler (50~% principal component)
sodium phosphate - retarder
ways to decrease setting time of alginate
increase water temp
mix rapidly
decrease water to powder ratio (thicker consistency)
1st elastomer (3 names)
polysulfide, mercaptan, thiokol
Composition of polysulfide
BASE - white
liquid poly sulfide polymer 80-85%
fillers - carbonate, silica, titanium dioxide, zinc sulfate, copper
ACCELERATOR - brown/gray
lead dioxide - 60-68% (an alternative will be hydroperoxide)
dibutyl phthalate - 30-35%
sulfur - 3%
others - 2%
lead dioxide causes stain and foul odor
characteristics of polysulfide
longest setting time (12 mins) foul odor in not usually tolerated
messy to work with (viscous and sticky)
stains and emits foul odor (lead dioxide)
greatest tear strength
hydrophobic
least dimensionally stable among the elastomers
condensation silicones / conventional silicones
Characteristics of condensation silicone
has a byproduct - ethyl alcohol –> can cause shrinkage
pleasant odor
hydrophobic
least dimensionally stable among the elastomers
composition of condensation silicone
BASE
polydimethyl siloxane
colloidal silica / metal oxide filler - 35 -75 %
ACCELERATOR
orthoethyl silicate - cross linking agent
stannous octoate - catalyst
composition of addition silicone (PVS)
BASE
poly (methyl hydrogen siloxane)
fillers
prepolymers
ACCELERATOR
divinyl polysiloxane
platinum salt - catalyst (chloroplatinic acid)
palladium - hydrogen absorber
retarders
fillers
characteristics of addition silicone
pleasant odor
excellent reproduction details
most dimensionally stable (up to 2 weeks)
hydrophobic
emits hydrogen gas
avoid latex gloves (contains sulfur) –> retards setting
plasticizer of polyether
glycoether or phthalate
cross linking agent of polyether? condensation silicone?
P - aromatic sulfonate ester
CS - orthoethyl silicate
characteristics of polyether
extremely stiff
very difficult to remove from mouth
hydrophilic
best compatibility with stone
very expensive
rank dimensional stability of elastomers
Addition silicone > polyether > polysulfide > condensation silicone
types of gypsum
type 1 - impression plaster
type 2 - dental plasters
type 3 - dental stone
type 4 - improved stone (die stone)
type 5 - high strength dental stone, high expansion
how is gypsum manufactured?
heating gypsum loses part of its water
calcium sulfate dihydrate –> calcium sulfate hemihydrate
calcination
differentiate the two hemihydrates
plaster - open kettle >100C - irregular particles, porous
stone - closed kettle or steamed under pressure > 100C - regular particles (prismatic), lesser porosity (denser)
How to create improved type of stones
gypsum is calcined by boiling it in 30% calcium chloride –> very dense , lesser pores
gypsum accelerators
gypsum, sodium sulfate, potassium sulfate, sodium chloride (2%)
gypsum retarders
HIGH CONC of sodium chlodride (>2%) and sodium sulphate, borax acetates, citrates, tartrates, blood
increases the setting expansion of the gypsum
adding NaCl and ground gypsum
allowing the gypsum product to set while it is in contact with water
hygroscopic expansion
placing gypsum investment mould in a furnace at a temp lower than 700C
thermal expansion
linear expansion of gypsum during setting due to outward thrust of the growing crystals
setting expansion
allows investment material to expand
casting ring liner
a channel where metal or plastic can flow towards a mold
sprue
*sprue former - wax, plastic or metal to possible create a sprue
attaching a sprue former into wax pattern and mounting it ina sprue base/ crucible former
Spruing
process of enveloping or covering an object in order to create a mold
investing
a ceramic material suitable for forming a mould into which a metal or alloy is cast. Components??
Investment material
1. binder (gypsum bonded -for gold alloys and other low fusing, phosphate bonded, silica-bonded)
2. refractory material - resists melting of the investmetn
flushing out of wax pattern and creating a mould. Place in a burn-out furnace
Burn-out
process of forming an object in a mould
casting
type of sprue that can cause casting porosity? incomplete casting?
casting porosity - short sprue
incomplete casting - long sprue
zone of the flame used in casting dental alloys
reducing zone (torch flame)
Common natural waxes used to create dental waxes
paraffin wax, beeswax, carnauba wax
types of waxes and their uses
- pattern wax - inlay, onlay, crowns, rpd wax
- processing wax - boxing wax, sticky wax, utility wax
- corrective wax - bite wax
Malleability vs ductility
malleability - ability to be hammered into thin sheets
ductility - can be shaped without fracturing
noble metal that corrodes in the oral cavity
silver
it has the highest CTE/COTE among all dental materials
waxes
best way to prevent warpage of wax pattern
invest immediately; if unable, refrigerate –> then cool to room them before investing
Noble metals are used because they resist corrosion in the mouth. examples?
