| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Dental Plaster | Also commonly referred to as plaster of Paris, |
| model plaster is | white and used primarily for pouring up preliminary impressions to make diagnostic models for a case presentation, or in the use of orthodontics. |
| The crystals in plaster are | irregularly shaped and very porous, similar in appearance to a sponge. |
| Dental stone is a form of | gypsum |
| gypsum that is typically what in color | yellow |
| gypsum is used when | a more durable diagnostic cast is required, or when a working model is needed for the fabrication of a fixed or removal prosthetics, retainer, and custom tray |
| The crystals in dental stone are | are more uniform in shape and less porous than those in plaster. |
| Using dental stone results in a .... | much stronger and denser than one made from plaster. |
| High-Strength Stone | Also known as densite or improved dental ston |
| high-strength stone has a strength, hardness, and dimensional accuracy that make it ideal for use by | the dental laboratory technician |
| The crystals in high-strength stone are | smooth and very dense and require the least amount of water for mixing. |
| Dental plaster (100 g) | 45–50 ml water |
| Dental stone (100 g) | 30–32 ml water |
| High-strength stone (100 g) | 19–24 ml water |
| When too little water is used, | the mix will be dry, which will provide a shorter working time. |
| When too much water is used, | the mix will be thin and runny and will take longer to set; this creates a model that is considerably weaker. |
| The water is measured by volume with a measuring device such as | a large syringe or a milliliter-graduated cylinder. |
| If a scale is not available, | the powder may be measured by volume. |
| Mixing Dental Plaster | Add the powder to the water in steady increments. Allow the powder to settle into the water for about 30 seconds. |
| Mixing Dental Plaster | A smooth and creamy mix should be achieved in about 20 seconds. |
| Mixing Dental Plaster | Complete mixing and vibration of the plaster for no longer than 2 minutes. |
| A model consists of two parts: | the anatomic portion and the art portion, |
| the anatomic portion, | which is created from the alginate impression, |
| and the art portion, | which forms the base of the cast |
| Three different pouring methods can be used to create the base or art portion of the cast | Double-Pour Method, Box-and-Pour Method and Inverted-Pour Method |
| Double-Pour Method the anatomic portion of the cast is | poured first |
| IN double pour the 2nd mix of plaster is | used to prepare the art portion. |
| Box-and-Pour Method | The impression is surrounded with a “box” made from boxing wax. |
| The inverted-pour approach | consists of mixing one large mixture of plaster or stone and pouring up the impression first, |
| This is the most common way of “pouring up” an impression. | Inverted-Pour Method |
| How long should you wait before you separate the model from the impression? | Wait 45 to 60 minutes after the base has been poured before separating the impression from the model. |
