Study Notes
Dihydrate Increase
- Dihydrate increase starts to precipitate in the form of Nuclei of Crystallization
W/P Ratio
- Increasing the water-to-powder (W/P) ratio in the material leads to a decrease in the number of nuclei of crystallization.
- A higher W/P ratio retards the setting time, which results in a decreased setting expansion.
Preparation of Impression
- Areas of an impression that will be electroplated need to be covered with metallic powder to make them electrically conductive.
- Covering the impression in metallic powder also allows for reproduction of fine details.
Cast and Die
- Cast and die techniques are expensive and time-consuming.
- Cast and die techniques require specialized equipment and expertise.
Amalgam Dies
- Amalgam dies are composed of a similar material to amalgam filling materials.
- Amalgam dies are a mixture of silver-tin alloy (Ag-Sn) and mercury, which forms a plastic mass that can be condensed into the impression.
