COMPOSITION: * -calcium sulphate hemihydrate higher water/powder ratio (approximately 0.60) than is normally used for modeling plaster. *Anti-expansion agents - Potassium sulphate secondary effect of accelerating the setting reaction. * A retarder, borax to promote setting time. * Diatomaceous earth, quartz, lime - to make the plaster more brittle * Pigment such as ALAZERIN RED

SPECIAL TRAY : made of shellac or acrylic with 1-1.5mm spacer

Recording impressions of patients with excessively mobile soft tissues overlying the residual alveolar bone (a flabby ridge). A flabby ridge is one which becomes displaceable due to fibrous tissue deposition seen in the upper anterior region. Usually occurs when natural teeth oppose an edentulous ridge. A flabby ridge causes instability of the denture.

Two stage technique: a special tray is made with appropriate spacing for zinc oxide/ eugenol paste where the mucosa is well supported and having a window overlying the flabby area. BULK of the ridge is recorded - ZOE impression (excess material remove from the window ) FLABBY RIDGE recorded impression plaster

Advantages:

1. Cheap and long shelf life, easy to prepare 2. Very good surface detail reproduction 3. Excellent dimensional stability

Disadvantages:

1. Very rigid often need to be fractured when removed from the mouth 2. Fractures if undercuts are present 3. Non-toxic but may dry soft tissues unpleasant

Thermoplastic materials consisting of paraffin and bees wax in a ratio of 3:1 Used to correct imperfection / faults in other impression particularly with ZnO eugenol pastes.

stearic acid

TYPE 1 lower fusing impression material available in two forms : sheet form stick form Type 2 higher fusing used for constructing impression trays

The sheet material - used for recording impressions of edentulous ridges, using stock trays. The stick material - used for border extensions on impression trays or for recording impressions of single crown.

Sheet form - ideally soften using a water bath having a temperature range 55-60C . ideal temperature and time of conditioning is important. effects of temperature: low material doesnt soften properly
high - material become sticky and un manageable

Effect of conditioning time: It should not be so long that constituents, such as stearic acid leached out.

STICK FORM: The stick material is generally softened using a flame. The material is tempered in a water bath before placing in the patients mouth

The stick material is used for border extensions on impression trays. for recording impressions of single crowns using the copper ring technique.

Partial denture

Fixed dentures

Hi viscosity it limits the degree of fine detail

recorded in an impression.

Muco- compressive impression material

displaces the lingual and buccal soft tissues viscosity is an advantage when recording impressions of edentulous patients WHERE it is necessary to record the full depth of the sulcus so that a denture with adequate retention can be designed.

Fairly rigid Poor elastic properties

Internal stresses are produced within the compound impression. (1) hi value of coefficient of thermal expansion. (2) The poor thermal conductivity. (3) The relatively large temperature drop from the softening temperature to mouth temperature

Can be reused Non toxic Non irritant

Supplied as two pastes Mixed together on paper pad or glass slab Pastes 1 - Zinc oxide Olive oil Zinc stearate Water Pastes 2 - Eugenol koalon or talc

used to record the secondary impressions of edentulous arches. The impression is normally recorded in a close-fitting ( special tray) constructed on the model obtained from the primary impression, or on patients existing denture.

The thickness of paste is normally around 1 mm. low viscosity allow fine details to be recorded minimum dimensional change eugenol may cause allergic reaction.
