    Study Notes

    Model and Die Materials

    • Definition of Model/Cast: Positive replica of teeth and supporting jaw tissues, created using an impression.
    • Definition of Die: Model of a single tooth.

    Requirements for Model and Die Materials

    • Mechanical Properties:
      • Sufficient strength to resist breakage.
      • Sufficient hardness to resist scratching and damage.
    • Fidelity: Able to produce fine details and sharp margins.
    • Dimensional Stability: Little change in dimensions during setting and storage.
    • Compatibility: No interaction with the impression material.
    • Color Contrast: Good contrast with other materials.
    • Ease of Use: Simple and easy to work with.
    • Cost-Effectiveness: Affordable.

    Gypsum Products

    • Main Composition: Calcium sulfate hemihydrate (CaSO₄.1/2H₂O).
    • Natural Source: Calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO₄.2H₂O) known as Gypsum.
    • Types of Gypsum Products:
      • Impression Plaster (Type I): β-calcium sulfate hemihydrate
      • Model Plaster (Type II): β-calcium sulfate hemihydrate
      • Dental Stone (Type III): α-calcium sulfate hemihydrate
      • High-Strength Stone (Type IV): α-calcium sulfate hemihydrate
      • High Strength High Expansion Dental Stone (Type V): α-calcium sulfate hemihydrate

    Differentiation of Gypsum Products

    • Variation in:
      • Method of manufacture.
      • Particle size, shape, and form.
      • Water/powder ratio.
      • Physical and mechanical properties.

    Manufacturing Process

    • Calcination: Dehydration reaction (driving off water)
    • Process: Heating Gypsum (CaSO₄.2H₂O) to form Gypsum Products (CaSO₄.1/2H₂O)
      • Model Plaster (Type II): Heating in open air at 120°C.
      • Dental Stone (Type III): Heating in an autoclave at 120-130°C.
      • High-Strength Stone (Type IV): Boiling in 30% calcium chloride solution.

    Gypsum Product Characteristics

    • Powder Form: Supplied as powder (calcium sulfate hemihydrate) for mixing with water.
    • Setting Reaction: Crystallization reaction is exothermic.
      • CaSO₄.½ H₂O + 1 1/2H₂O -> Ca SO₄. 2 H₂O + Heat

    Water/Powder Ratio

    • Theoretical Ratio: 100 g of CaSO₄.1/2H₂O requires 18.61 g of water.
    • Practical Ratios:
      • Dental Plaster (Type II): 50-60 g/100 ml
      • Dental Stone (Type III): 30 g/100 ml
      • Improved Stone (Type IV): 20 g/100 ml
    • Excess Water: Needed for a homogenous mix, but results in porosity, decreased hardness, and weakened material.

    Setting Time

    • Definition: Time from mixing to hardening.
    • Stages:
      • Mixing Time: Time to create a homogenous mix.
      • Working Time: Time available for mixing and pouring before initial setting.
      • Initial Setting Time: Time until partial setting (material begins to harden but is still workable).
      • Final Setting Time: Time for complete reaction, achieving full strength and resistance.
      • Ready to Use Stage: Time when material is safe to handle without breakage.

    Factors Affecting Setting Time

    • Manufacture-Controlled Factors:
      • Fineness of powder: Smaller particles lead to faster dissolution and shorter setting time.
      • Impurities: Small amount of dihydrate can accelerate setting.
      • Chemicals (retarders or accelerators):
        • Retarders (increase setting time): Coating the hemihydrate to slow dissolution (e.g. borax).
        • Accelerators (decrease setting time): Increasing hemihydrate solubility or adding more nuclei (e.g. potassium sulfate).
    • Operator-Controlled Factors:
      • Water/powder ratio: W/P ratio (thin mix) leads to retardation, while thick mix accelerates setting.
      • Mixing time and rate: Increased mixing accelerates setting.
      • Temperature:
        • 20°C to 50°C: Acceleration.
        • Above 50°C: Retardation.
        • 100°C: No setting occurs.

    Properties of Gypsum Products

    • Dimensional Expansion: Outward force from crystal growth leads to setting expansion.
      • Types of Expansion:
        • Setting Expansion: Expansion during initial setting.
        • Hygroscopic Expansion: Expansion when setting under water.
    • Strength:
      • Gypsum is brittle.
      • Strength increases rapidly as it hardens.
      • Wet strength: Strength with excess water.
      • Dry strength: Strength after drying (double the wet strength).
    • Hardness and Abrasion Resistance: Low hardness, improved with resin additions.

    Uses of Gypsum Products

    • Impression Plaster (Type I): Impression materials.
    • Model Plaster (Type II): Primary casts, flask filling in dentures.
    • Dental Stone (Type III): Secondary casts.
    • Improved Stone (Type IV): Stronger and harder models.
    • High Strength High Expansion Dental Stone (Type V): When high expansion dies are needed.

    Advantages of Gypsum Products

    • Dimensional accuracy.
    • Good color contrast (pigmented).
    • Cost-effective and easy to use.

    Disadvantages of Gypsum Products

    • Poor mechanical properties (low strength and abrasion resistance).
    • Softening of stone surface by some impression materials.
    • Poor surface detail reproduction.

    Recent Advances

    • Polymer impregnation: Increased hardness and abrasion resistance.
    • Incorporation of wetting agents: Reduced water requirements, improved strength.

    Reasons

    1. Setting expansion of gypsum: Occurs due to outward thrusting action of growing crystals.
    2. Gypsum products powder should be protected from moisture contamination during storage: Moisture can cause premature setting, as dihydrate crystals can act as nuclei, accelerating the reaction.
    3. Excess water is needed for gypsum mixing: Provides a homogenous and workable mix, but should be minimized for better strength and hardness.
    4. Different types of gypsum: Variation in particle size, shape, and method of manufacture results in differing properties.
    5. Addition of resin and wetting agent in gypsum products: Enhance strength and hardness, reduce water requirements.
    6. Addition of dihydrate to gypsum products: Accelerates setting as it provides nuclei for crystal growth.

    Summary Terms

    • Calcination: Process of heating Gypsum to produce Gypsum products.
    • Crystallization: Setting reaction of mixing Gypsum product with water.
