Impression procedures and construction of a sectional denture for a patient with microstomia: a clinical report.

This article describes a modified impression procedure and a method of fabricating a 2-piece collapsible denture for a patient with limited oral opening as a result of the resection of a precancerous lesion on the maxillary lip. Fabricating the denture in 2 pieces (a smaller anterior piece and a larger, hinged, collapsible posterior piece) enabled the patient to place and remove the denture.

One clinical visit for a multiple implant restoration master cast fabrication.

The making of a one-piece, long-span, implant-supported prosthesis with conventional procedures frequently has difficulties associated with the accuracy of fit. This article presents a clinical and laboratory procedure for making an accurate implant working cast that facilitates fabrication of the casting on the master cast. The procedure demonstrates the process of sectioning and rejoining of the resin between the transfer copings and then pouring the impression by first joining the analogs alone with impression plaster, sectioning it, and rejoining it again to stabilize the analogs, and finally, using dental stone to pour the impression. Clinical, radiographic, and laboratory (optical microscope) measurements for one clinical implant restoration confirm the accuracy of fit of this one prosthesis made with this procedure. Its advantage is that it can allow fabrication of the final casting on the cast, thereby eliminating the clinical time necessary to obtain repetitive solder indexes, and thus minimizing inconvenience to the patient.

Use of a flexible cast for fabrication of multiple post-coping overdenture restorations.

Direct intraoral fabrication of multiple post-coping restorations for an overdenture in the same arch can be a time-consuming chairside clinical procedure. In addition, accurate intraoral fabrication of resin patterns with intracrevicular margins is not always possible as a result of limited access. This article presents a direct-indirect method that uses an elastic cast for fabrication of multiple post-coping restorations with intracrevicular margins. Custom post patterns are fabricated directly in the root canal with autopolymerizing resin (Duralay). An impression is made of the remaining tooth structure, which also includes the post patterns, and a flexible cast is poured chairside. The cast is available within 6 to 8 minutes of impression making and can be trimmed similar to a stone die. The procedure also provides flexibility that allows separation of the cast from the impression without fracture of the custom post pattern or cast. The fabrication of the post-coping restoration can be completed in the laboratory, or if necessary, completed chairside and verified intraorally, before dismissing the patient.

Making fixed prostheses that are not too high.

It has been observed that a high percentage of multiple crowns or FPDs arrive from laboratories too "high." This article suggests methods to create accurate alginate impressions, opposing casts and IORs. If dentists use these techniques, it is anticipated that fewer FPDs will be too high as dentists attempt to seat them in the mouth.

Impression technique for partially edentulous patients.

This article describes an implant impression technique for partially edentulous patients in which impression plaster and irreversible hydrocolloid are used. The technique ensures accuracy, ease of manipulation, and decreased working time.

Effect of frequency and amplitude of vibration on void formation in dies poured from polyvinyl siloxane impressions.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Numerous factors are involved in making a void-free dental stone cast from a polyvinyl siloxane impression. PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to determine whether frequency and amplitude of vibration had any effect on the formation of voids on the cast surface poured from polyvinyl siloxane impression with a mechanical model vibrator. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Impressions were poured in dental stone with a mechanical model vibrator that was set at vibration frequency 3000 cycles/min (low) and 6000 cycles/min (high) by a knob. The amplitude of vibration is provided in 5 steps and remained constant for the step set on the instrument. A total of 240 casts were prepared. The vibrator was set at low frequency and 30 impressions were poured for each of the 5 steps of amplitude. The vibrator was then set at high frequency and 30 impressions were poured for each of the 5 steps of amplitude. The resultant casts were examined for the presence of surface voids under 10 x magnification. RESULTS: Means for voids in all cast groups calculated for low and high vibration frequencies indicated that an increase in the amplitude of vibration caused an increase in the number of voids on the die surface. CONCLUSION: Use of high frequency of vibration 6000 cycles/min and 0.40 mm amplitude produced significantly fewer voids (P < .0001) compared with steps 4 (0.45 mm) and 5 (0.80 mm) amplitude.

Dental materials: 1995 literature review.

This critical review of the published literature on dental materials for the year 1995 has been compiled by the Dental Materials Panel of the United Kingdom. It continues the series of annual reviews started in 1973 and published in the Journal of Dentistry. Emphasis has been placed upon publications which report upon the materials science or clinical performance of the materials. The review has been divided by accepted materials classifications (fissure sealants, glass polyalkenoate cements, resin composites, dentine bonding, dental amalgam, endodontic materials, casting alloys, investment materials, resin-bonded bridges and ceramo-metallic restorations, all ceramic restorations, denture base and soft lining materials, impression materials, dental implants, orthodontic materials and biomechanics). Three hundred and thirty articles published in 68 titles have been reviewed.

[Adhesion of polysulfide rubber impression material to dental metals (author's transl)].

In order to investigate the adhesiveness of polysulfide rubber impression material to dental metals, we performed the tension test on the sample specimens which had been prepared by injecting the impression material into the gap between opposite metal surfaces finished brightly, thereafter observed the fractured surfaces. Pure metals decreased their adhesive strength to the impression material in order of Au, Pd greater than Ag greater than Cu. Some noble metal alloys containing gold and palladium in a large amount showed the good adhesiveness. In clinical using of 14 carat gold and gold-palladium-silver alloys for core metal, it should be noticed that polysulfide rubber adheres tightly to these alloys. Adhesive strength of copper was not so great comparing with noble metals, therefore the surface of copper tray should be roughned by emery paper above #500, aiming the mechanical bonding forth to increase. The surface of many metals which had left in regulated atmosphere for many hours showed the tendency to decrease their adhesiveness to the impression material. This tendency was not recognized on the metals which had appeared the failure of adhesion bond on the bright finished surfaces.
