Q

What is the most widely used impression material

A

Alginate hydrocolloid

22
Q

Alginate hydrocolloid changes from

A

Sol phase to a gel phase via chemical reaction and it cannot be reversed

23
Q

Alginate hydrocolloid is not accurate enough for final impressions, why?

A

Does not capture fine detail
Does not flow well into embrasures or occlusal surfaces

24
Q

Alginate is

A

Elastic irreversible impression material made from seaweed

25
Q

Advantages of irreversible hydrocolloid

A

Good for Subgingival impression
Working in a “wet” environment
Pouring models

26
Q

Disadvantages of irreversible hydrocolloids

A

Shrinkage (syneresis)
Swelling (imbibition)
Poor tear strength
Client care- burning “tissues”

27
Q

Using incorrect tray size when taking an impression will result

A

In an unacceptable impression

28
Q

What may be used to extend the tray

A

Utility wax

29
Q

Custom trays allow for

A

A more comfortable fit allowing for more accurate impressions

30
Q

Triple trays allow clinician to take an impression of

A

Max mand and bite reg at the same time

31
Q

Elastomeric materials are used (2)

A

-Where teeth are present and material flexibility is needed for removal from the oral cavity or teeth
- for impressions of preparations and for demanding highly accurate reproductions

32
Q

Elastomeric materials have qualities similar to?
Composed of ?
Do they have different viscosities?

A

Have qualities similar to rubber
Composed of a base and an accelerator
Have different viscosities (putty, heavy, light bodied)

33
Q

What is polysulfide

A

Oldest of the elastomers known as mercaptan rubber or rubber base

34
Q

Polysulfide has an unpleasant

Silicone material is available as

A

Additional reaction and condensation reaction

36
Q

What should not be mixed with latex gloves on

A

Silicone putty

37
Q

What is added to condensation silicone as a filler to keep the silicone paste from being runny and to provide stiffness

A

Silica or copper carbonate

38
Q

What is the stiffest of all elastomers

Most common method of displacing the gingival tissue away from the tooth prep to create space for impression material

A

Gingival retraction cord

40
Q

Bleeding when using a retraction cord can be controlled by using (3)

A

LA with epinephrine
Astringent
Coagulation with laser or electrocautery

Images can be magnified, reviewed and retaken
More accurate

42
Q

Disadvantages of digital impressions

43
Q

What does chroma refer to

A

Intensity or strength of the colour
*teeth are generally pale in colour

44
Q

Value refers to

A

How light or dark the colour is; teeth have value ranges in light scale; they are determined by the way they reflect light
