DENTAL MATERIALS 4 o More water will lead to less setting

expansion because you will have less

*high compressive strength is important for a working cast dihydrates to expand

DIFFERENT COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF DIFFERENT • ADDITION OF CHEMICAL MODIFIERS

GYPSUM PRODUCTS
o Decrease setting expansion
• TYPE II – 1300psi
o Chemical modifiers are present in DENTAL
• TYPE III – 3000psi STONE that is why it has lesser setting
expansion
• TYPE IV – 5000psi

• TYPE V – 7000psi
CARING FOR GYPSUM PRODUCTS
HARDNESS (ROCKWELL HARDNESS NUMBER)
• Must be kept in an airtight container
• TYPE III – 82RHN
• Must be kept in a cool and dry place
• TYPE IV – 92RHN
• Use dry, clean scooping instrument to prevent
SETTING EXPANSION OF GYPSUM PRODUCTS contamination

• TYPE II – 0.00% - 0.30%

• TYPE III – 0.00% - 0.20% TERMINOLOGIES

• MATERIALS
• TYPE IV – 0.00% - 0.10%

• TYPE V – 0.10% - 0.30% o consumable/ perishable

• INSTRUMENTS/EQUIPMENTS

DIMENSIONALLY STABLE o non-consumable

• Will not shrink or expand after many hours • IMPRESSION

DIMENSIONALLY UNSTABLE o the negative likeness of the object

• Will shrink or expand after how many hours of setting • CAST

o the positive likeness of the object

TYPE V – high expansion setting • IMPRESSION TRAYS

o where impression materials are poured

*all gypsum products undergo setting expansion

*all hemihydrates when set turns to dihydrates which expands

DIFFERENT DENTAL TRAYS

TYPE II & V – dimensionally unstable (least) • STOCK TRAYS

o Short border

FACTORS AFFECTING SETTING EXPANSION o Used only for adhesive impression materials

• WATER – POWDER RATIO • RIM-LOCKED TRAYS

o More powder will lead to more setting o for adhesion of non-adhesive impression
expansion because you will produce more materials
dihydrates
o some are with perforations

• PERFORATED TRAYS
 o Also for adhesion of non-adhesive
impression materials

• WATER COOLED TRAYS

o For prompt setting

o For agar or reversible hydrocolloid

• PARTIAL TRAYS

o For quadrants only

• DISPOSABLE TRAYS

o For sanitary purposes

• INDIVIDUAL TRAYS

o Custom-built tray for a particular patient

o USED TO MAKE INDIVIDUAL TRAYS:

• TYPE II MODELLING COMPOUNDS

• SHELLAC BASE PLATES

• RESIN
