Part II - Impression Materials
Gypsum bonded Setting Time:
- longer spatulation, increase water temperature, use of slurry water, less water: powder ratio = greater expansion, shorter setting time - older investment = decrease expansion - Increasing water: powder ratio - decrease expansion, longer setting time ^opposite of alginate
Tolerates moisture the most - A. hydrocolloid, B. polyether, C. addition silicone, D. polysulfide
hydrocolloid
Increased trituration time will increase/decrease compressive strength and increase/decrease setting expansion
increase compressive strength decrease setting expansion
Gypsum: If you have decrease spatula/mixing, you decrease expansion. If you have increase spatula/mixing, you
increase expansion
Decrease setting time of gypsum by - increase/decrease spatulation time, increase/decrease water temperature, increase/decreases water: powder ratio use of _ water
increase spatulation time increase water temperature decrease water:powder ratio use slurry water
increasing water:powder ratio for alginate impressions does what?
increases setting time & decreases expansion
mixing alginate faster does what?
increases water temperature and decreases setting time

polysulfide
Which of the following is the best for tear strength
polysulfide
Most stability: 1. hydrocolloid reversible 2. hydrocolloid irreversible 3. polysulfide (polyvinyl sulfide, the smelly one)

Condensation silicone sets via _ and gives off what byproduct?
sets via cross-linking polymerization reaction byproduct: ethanol
Alginate impression in 100% humidity, why will shrinkage occur?
shrinkage occurs b/c of syneresis tricky question b/c the LEAST amount of shrinkage occurs when alginate is stored in 100% humidity, but they can still lose moisture (syneresis)
Polyether, disadvantage compared to other elastomeric? A. sticks to teeth/hard to remove from teeth, B. longer working time, C. less accuracy
