Impression trays are devices used to carry, confine, and control impression material in the mouth. There are two main types: special trays which are custom-made for individual patients and used for final impressions, and stock trays which come in various pre-formed sizes and shapes and are used for primary impressions. Impression trays must be rigid, dimensionally stable, smooth, and able to support the set impression material when removed from the mouth. They are classified based on their fabrication method, arch, presence of teeth, and materials used.
Dental casting alloys can be categorized as either noble metal alloys or base metal alloys. Noble metal alloys contain precious metals like gold, palladium, or silver and are commonly used to create indirect restorations through lost wax casting. Base metal alloys do not contain precious metals and provide a more economical option for removable partial denture frameworks and other restorations requiring high strength. Both alloy types aim to have suitable mechanical properties for their intended use as well as biocompatibility and corrosion resistance through alloying elements and microstructure design.
Impression compounds are thermoplastic materials used for dental impressions. They are composed mainly of rosin, copal resin, carnauba wax, stearic acid, and talc. There are two main types - lower fusing impression compound and higher fusing tray compound. Impression compound is a viscous material that is softened in hot water before making impressions, allowing it to flow and capture detail but also maintain shape. While able to displace soft tissue, its high viscosity limits fine detail capture. Impression compound requires careful heating and cooling to avoid distortion, and constructs must be poured promptly due to its marginal dimensional stability.
Liners and bases are placed between dentin (or pulp) and a restoration to provide pulpal protection. Liners are thin layers that provide a barrier against residual reactants and oral fluids penetrating between the restoration and tooth. Bases are thicker (1-2mm) and provide additional thermal protection and support restoration forces. The need for liners depends on the restoration material and cavity location/depth. Newer liners focus on chemical protection through sealing and adhesion rather than pulpal medication. The choice of liner depends on remaining dentin thickness and restoration material.
Zinc phosphate cement is an older luting cement that exists in two types based on grain size. It consists of zinc oxide powder and an acidic liquid containing phosphoric acid. The powder and liquid undergo an exothermic chemical reaction where the acid attacks the zinc oxide particles. This forms a zinc-aluminophosphate gel matrix. Zinc phosphate cement has good compressive strength and insulation properties but low tensile strength. It is used for luting restorations and bases due to its strength but can irritate pulp and lacks aesthetic qualities. The working time can be extended through controlling the powder-liquid ratio, mixing temperature or technique.
This document discusses dentin bonding agents. It provides background on adhesion and the challenges of bonding to dentin compared to enamel. Key points discussed include:
- Conditioning of dentin is needed to remove the smear layer and expose collagen fibers. This can be done chemically using acids or chelators.
- Primers are then used which contain both hydrophilic and hydrophobic monomers. They displace water from the moist collagen network and allow resin infiltration.
- The concept of "wet bonding" was introduced, in which acid-etched dentin is kept moist during bonding to maintain the expanded collagen network for resin penetration.
This document discusses acid etching of dental surfaces. It describes how acid etching was first proposed in 1955 to increase bond strength between composite resin and enamel. Acid etching removes enamel and creates an irregular porous surface that allows resin to penetrate through micromechanical interlocking, improving bond strength. Factors like acid type/concentration, etching duration, and fluoride levels can affect bonding. While acid etching is effective, some alternatives under investigation include crystal growth solutions, air abrasion, and lasers, but they have not achieved bond strengths as high as acid etching.

Mechanical properties of ceramics are determined using bending tests rather than tensile tests due to their brittle nature. Ceramics experience negligible plastic deformation and fracture at low strains. Their strength is significantly impacted by flaws which act as stress concentrators. Fracture toughness characterizes a ceramic's resistance to crack propagation and is used to determine the maximum stress before failure for a given flaw size. The stochastic nature of flaws leads to significant variation in measured fracture strengths between specimens of the same material.

The advantages of recycling include cost savings, but methods can potentially reduce bracket quality or bond strength with repeated recycling.
Conformal Coating is applied to circuit cards to provide a dielectric layer on an electronic board. This layer functions as a membrane between the board and the environment. With this coating in place, the circuit card can withstand more moisture by increasing the surface resistance or surface insulation resistance (SIR). With a higher SIR board, the risk of problems such as cross talk, electrical leakage, intermittent signal losses, and shorting is reduced.
This reduction in moisture will also help to reduce metallic growth called dendrites and corrosion or oxidation. Conformal coating will also serve to shield a circuit card from dust, dirt and pollutants that can carry moisture and may be acidic or alkaline.
There are several types of conformal coating materials and the selection of one for your application must consider several variables. Silicones, polyurethanes, acrylics, epoxies and some of the newer hydrophilic materials offer many options to the user. However, the incorrect selection can result in huge problems with your CCA. For example, if you use silicone as your conformal coating material in a high sulfur environment, the silicone absorbs the sulfur and enhances the probability of silver migration on chip resistors and other forms of corrosion.
The document discusses the high costs of corrosion in India and issues with current anti-corrosion coatings. It states that corrosion is a major maintenance cost over the lifespan of equipment. Current coatings require clean, dry surfaces with a profile for proper adhesion but are often applied to surfaces that are not properly prepared.

Unlocking the Secrets to Safe Patient Handling.pdfLift Ability
Furthermore, the time constraints and workload in healthcare settings can make it challenging for caregivers to prioritise safe patient handling Australia practices, leading to shortcuts and increased risks.
This particular slides consist of- what is Pneumothorax,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is a summary of Pneumothorax:
Pneumothorax, also known as a collapsed lung, is a condition that occurs when air leaks into the space between the lung and chest wall. This air buildup puts pressure on the lung, preventing it from expanding fully when you breathe. A pneumothorax can cause a complete or partial collapse of the lung.

Sectional dentures for microstomia patients.pptxSatvikaPrasad
Microstomia, characterized by an abnormally small oral aperture, presents significant challenges in prosthodontic treatment, including limited access for examination, difficulties in impression making, and challenges with prosthesis insertion and removal. To manage these issues, customized impression techniques using sectional trays and elastomeric materials are employed. Prostheses may be designed in segments or with flexible materials to facilitate handling. Minimally invasive procedures and the use of digital technologies can enhance patient comfort. Education and training for patients on prosthesis care and maintenance are crucial for compliance. Regular follow-up and a multidisciplinary approach, involving collaboration with other specialists, ensure comprehensive care and improved quality of life for microstomia patients.
Hypertension and it's role of physiotherapy in it.Vishal kr Thakur
This particular slides consist of- what is hypertension,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is summary of hypertension -
Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a serious medical condition that occurs when blood pressure in the body's arteries is consistently too high. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of blood vessels as the heart pumps it. Hypertension can increase the risk of heart disease, brain disease, kidney disease, and premature death.

Dimensional Changes
Contraction or expansion depends on
Its manipulation
Ideally it should be small
Severe contraction can lead to
Micro leakage, plaque accumulation and recurrent/secondary caries
8. Dimensional Changes
Excessive expansion
Pressure on the pulp and post-operative
sensitivity, and protrusion of a restoration
ADA/ANSI Specification No.1 requires ± 20µm/cm measured
at 37Cº b/w 5 min and 24 hr after beginning of Trituration
with a device that is accurate to at least 0.5µm

Mixing of Alloy and Mercury Results in Contraction
The dissolution of particles begins and the Gamma 1 grows
Contraction continues as long as the growth of Gamma 1 phase
continues
As gamma 1 crystal grow, they impinge against one another
If condition appropriate, this impingement of Gamma 1 can
produce an outward pressure, tending to oppose the contraction
10. 20/04/2020 10
Plastic matrix in case of sufficient mercury
Gamma 1 crystals impingement causes expansion
Once the matrix rigid matrix, growth of gamma 1 crystals cannot
force the matrix to expand
If sufficient mercury is present, net expansion will occur
11. 20/04/2020 11
Net contraction
Type of alloy used
spherical alloys have more
contraction
Less mercury
Zinc (Delayed Expansion)
Zn+H2O → Zno+H2
Hydrogen causes considerable delayed
expansion (40 micrometer, during trituration
and condensation process)
Condensation technique
Greater condensation = higher contraction
Trituration time
Over trituration causes higher contraction

Strength
Develops slowly
• 1 hr: 40 to 60% of maximum (50MPa)
• 24 hrs: 90% of maximum (300MPa)
Spherical alloys and Cu enriched alloy develop strength
more rapidly than conventional lathe cut alloy
Fine grain lathe cute alloys develop more rapidly than
coarse grain prodcts
• Require less mercury (Optimum Properties = 44 – 48% Hg)
Phillip’s Science of Dental Materials 2003
13. 20/04/2020 13
Greater the condensation pressure the higher the strength (lathe
cut)
Condensation with lighter pressure produces adequate strength
(spherical alloy)
Higher compressive vs. tensile strength
14. 20/04/2020 14
AMALGAM IS SRONGEST IN COMPRESSION &
MUCH WEAKER IN TENSION & SHEAR
THE PREPARD CAVITY DESIGN SHOULD MAXIMIZE THE
COMPRESSION FORCES IN SERVICE & MINIMIZE TENSION
SHEAR FORCES
15. 20/04/2020 15
Weak in thin sections
• Unsupported edges fracture
• Voids and porosity are possible factors influencing the
compressive strength
• In case of delayed condensation and under tritutation
The porosity will more and strength will be reduced

Why Dental amalgam behaves as a self sealing
restoration because
SnO helps to seal the space against
microleakage (Along the margins)
Electrochemical corrosion of high-copper
amalgams produce both Cu & Sn oxides &
oxychloride
20. 20/04/2020 20
The most electrochemically reactive is 2
phase, readily forms the anode in an
electrolytic cell
The 2 phase breaks down
Hg which may be able to combine with
unreacted alloy ( phase).
Small quantity is inevitably ingested which
is of concern
21. 20/04/2020 21
Creep or plastic deformation
DEFINED AS A TIME DEPENDENT PLASTIC DEFORMATION
UNDER CONSTANT STRESS.
ACCORDING TO ADA SPECIFICATION NO 1 CREEP SHOULD
BE BELOW 3%.
CREEP OF LOW Cu AMALGAM IS 0.8-8% & HIGH Cu IS 0.4-
1%.
22. 20/04/2020 22
Amalgam undergoes a certain amount of creep when
subjected to dynamic intra-oral stresses
Creep causes the amalgam to flow, such that unsupported
amalgam protrudes from the margin of the cavity
These unsupported edges are weak and may be further
weakened by corrosion
23. 20/04/2020 23
Fracture cause the formation of ditch around the margin of
amalgam restorations
Gamma 2 phase in case of low copper alloys is responsible for
the relatively high values of creep
High copper alloys got low creep values
25. 20/04/2020 25
Creep
High-copper amalgams have creep resistance
prevention of gamma-2 phase
requires >12% Cu total
single composition spherical
eta (Cu6Sn5) embedded in gamma-1 grains
interlock
admixture
eta (Cu6Sn5) around Ag-Cu particles
improves bonding to gamma 1
26. 20/04/2020 26
Thermal Properties
Relatively high value of thermal
diffusivity.
A cavity liner or base is
recommended to be used under
amalgam restoration.
The coefficient of thermal
expansion is 3 times greater
than that for dentine
27. 20/04/2020 27
Biological Properties
2 aspects: on Patient and on Dentist & Auxiliary staff.
Neurotoxicity
Renal dysfunction
Birth defects
Reduce immunocompitence
Compromised general health.
Mixing of Alloy and Mercury Results in Contraction
If sufficient mercury present to provide a plastic matrix,
Expansion will occur when gamma 1 crystals impinge upon one another
After a rigid matrix formation, growth of gamma 1 crystals cannot force the matrix to expand
If sufficient mercury is present, expansion will occur otherwise contraction will occur
3-5 days then for maximum upto 6 months, 40micrometer delayed expansion. This is due to moisture contamination during trituration and condensation process.
(Amalgam readily tarnish due to the formation of sulphide layer on surface)
TARNISH & CORROSION
Undergoes Chemical & Electrochemical corrosion
Chemical corrosion results in formation of surface Silver sulfide layer
Electrochemical corrosion – Galvanic, Crevice & Stress Corrosion
The most common corrosion products of traditional amalgam alloys are oxides & oxychlorides of tin
The 2 phase of conventional amalgam is the most electrochemically reactive and readily forms the anode in an electrolytic cell.
The 2 phase breaks down to give tin containing corrosion products and Hg which may be able to combine with unreacted alloy ( phase).
Not all Hg is formed during corrosion is able to combine rapidly with unreacted alloy and small quantity is inevitably ingested which is of concern.
