silicon impression Flashcards
Was the first type of silicone impression material used in dentistry
CONDENSATION SILICONE
conventional silicones
CONDENSATION SILICONE
It is used to get impressions in the preparation of crowns, bridges,
onlays, and inlays.
And also used for an impression in the process of preparation for complete
dentures.
CONDENSATION SILICONE
introduced in 1955
CONDENSATION SILICONE
It is a type of silicone that forms from a condensation reaction
CONDENSATION SILICONE
ADA Specification No. 19
Dental Elastomeric Imp. Mat.
Supplied as a base paste and a low-viscosity
liquid catalyst, a two-paste system, or a twoputty system.
CONDENSATION SILICONE
Putty is used tray material in conjunction with
a low-viscosity silicone
putty-wash
technique
Hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane
- undergoes cross-linking to form rubber
Insert filler such as silica, 35-75% (depending on viscosity)
- gives ‘body
PASTE (BASE) of condensation silicon
Alkyl silicate (e.g. tetraethyl silicate or orthoethyl silicate)
- acts as a cross-linking agent
Tin compound (e.g. dibutyl tin dilaurate or stannous octoate)
- acts as a reaction catalyst
LIQUID (ACCELERATOR) of condensation silicon
Working time of condensation silicon
2.5-4 mins
Setting time of condensation silicon
6-8 mins
- GOOD WORKING TIME
- BETTER ELASTIC PROPERTIES ON REMOVAL –LONG SHELF LIFE
-CLEAN AND PLEASANT
-ADEQUATE TEAR STRENGTH
-EXCELLENT REPRODUCTION
OF SURFACE DETAILS
Advantages of condensation silicon
-GREATER RIGIDITY
-POOR DIMENSIONAL STABILITY
-HYDROPHOBIC
-ALLERGIC REACTIONS
-EXPENSIVE
Disadvantages of condensation silicon
An elastomeric impression material of ethylene oxide and tetrahydrofluro copolymers that polymerizes under the influence of an atomic ester
POLYETHER
Supplied as a two-paste system in low, medium, and high consistencies.
POLYETHER
Commercial names are Impregum, Remitec, Polyjel etc
POLYETHER
2 types of polyether
- .Based on ring
- Based on an acid
opening polymerization of aziridine group
Based on ring
catalyzed condensation polymerization of
polyether prepolymer with alkoxysilane terminal groups
Based on an acid
Polyether - 80 - 85%
Colloidal silica (Filler)
Glycol ether or phthalate (Plasticizer)
polyether composition base
Alkyl-aromatic sulfonate (Initiator/crosslinking agent)
Colloidal silica (Filler)
Glycol ether or phthalate (Plasticizer)
polyether composition paste
The base paste of a polyether contains polyether
molecules that terminate in an
amine group.
Three-membered heterocycle
containing two methylene groups, and the nitrogen
is called an imine.
Aziridine rings
main chain of polyether
copolymer of ethylene oxide
and tetrahydrofuran.
An aromatic sulphonate ester in the activator paste
cross-links these polymer chains via the imine end
group
Cationic Polymerization
Whenever a ring is opened, the cation function remains what? , thus lengthening the chain as the
polymers further cross-links.
remains attached
Exothermic (polyether)
4-5 degrees Celcius
working time of polyether
3 minutes
setting time of polyether
6 minutes
tear strength of polyether
1800- 4800
PERCENT CONTRACTION of polyether
0.19-0.24
CONTACT ANGLE BETWEEN SET MATERIAL AND WATER of polyether
49 degrees
