Study Notes
Model and Die Materials
- A dental model is a positive replica of the teeth and adjacent structures.
- A dental die is a positive replica of the individual prepared tooth on which inlays and crowns are made.
Ideal Properties of Model and Die Materials
- Ability to reproduce all fine details in the impression
- Dimensional stability
- High abrasion resistance to resist scratching during carving of wax pattern
- Good strength and smooth surface
- Compatibility with all impression materials
- Reasonable setting time
- Color contrast with wax pattern to easily distinguish between them
Types of Cast and Die Materials
- Gypsum
- Type II dental plaster
- Type III dental stone
- Type IV dental stone, high strength
- Type V dental stone, high strength, high expansion
- Metals
- Electroplated dies
- Low fusing metals
- Amalgam
- Polymers
- Epoxy resin
- Cements
- Silicophosphate cements
- Ceramics
Gypsum Products
- Gypsum is a mineral found in nature, formed of calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO4.2H2O) known as Alabastar.
- Production of gypsum products involves a process called "Calcination", where CaSO4.2H2O is ground and heated, leading to water loss and the formation of Ca sulphate hemihydrate (CaSO4.1/2H2O).
- Gypsum products are chemically the same (CaSO4.1/2H2O) but differ in:
- Method of manufacturing
- Particle size and shape
- Water/powder ratio
- Physical and mechanical properties
- Uses
Types of Gypsum Products
- Type I: Impression plaster, used as secondary impression material
- Type II: Model plaster
- Type III: Dental stone (Hydrocal)
- Type IV: High strength Dental stone (Densite)
- Type V: High strength, high expansion dental stone
Properties of Gypsum Products
- Particle size and shape:
- Type II: Large, irregular, and porous
- Type III: Smaller, more regular, and less porous
- Type IV: Smallest, most regular, and least porous
- Type V: Smallest, most regular, and least porous
- Water/powder ratio:
- Type II: 0.5
- Type III: 0.35
- Type IV: 0.22
- Type V: 0.22
- Porosity:
- Type II: High
- Type III: Moderate
- Type IV: Low
- Type V: Low
- Compressive strength:
- Type II: Low
- Type III: Moderate
- Type IV: High
- Type V: High
- Abrasion resistance:
- Type II: Low
- Type III: Moderate
- Type IV: High
- Type V: High
- Setting expansion:
- Type II: High
- Type III: Moderate
- Type IV: Low
- Type V: High
- Uses:
- Type II: Diagnostic cast, articulation of stone cast, and flasking procedure for acrylic dentures
- Type III: Full or partial denture master casts, orthodontic models, and flasking procedure for acrylic dentures
- Type IV: Used in dies for fabricating wax patterns of cast restorations (crowns and bridges)
- Type V: Used for construction of dies on which base metal alloys will be cast
