Creating Gypsum Products
Case A: You need to make a custom try for an appointment in progress and have just taken the alginate impressions. How would you accelerate the setting time of the gypsum product you selected?
To accelerate the setting time of the gypsum product I selected, first I will try to use a “fast set” gypsum if it is available at the office, since it has accelerators placed into the gypsum and lower the setting time. If this is not an option at the office because there is only “regular set”, I would use a longer and more rapid spatulation of gypsum, increase the temperature of the mixing water, and will add the particles of set gypsum by scraping the surface of an old study model (I prefer this rather than using the slurry water recommended in the

    The four requirements for minerals are that they must be naturally occurring in other words they must appear in nature something that that was formed by the earth and not man made. It must be inorganic which means I must not be formed from an organic substance like a fossil of any other living creature. It must have a specific crystalline structure that is formed from simple salts and complex silicates. And it must have a definite chemical composition which defines the minerals structure. The way that you differentiate between minerals is by the way they react to specific tests like for instance the acid test some minerals will have a bubbling action and other one will have no reaction and by color minerals come in many different shades an colors. The six methods to tell minerals apart are the color test by looking at the mineral it can be classified by its color. Another method is the streak test which is the color of the mineral in its powered form this is the true color of a mineral specimen as it lessens the impurity impact and eliminates the light distortion from the crystal. The luster test refers to the absorption, refection, or refraction of light by the surface of a mineral. The fluorescence test in ultraviolet light, some mineral specimens appear to Florence due to the fluorescent mineral impurities or due to locality. Chemical composition is another method because minerals have a fixed chemical composition it is easy to test mineral with this method. And hardness minerals are identified by their hardness based on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness based on their ability to scratch any mineral with a number lower than theirs and their inability to scratch any mineral with a number higher than theirs. A mineral is naturally occurring crystalline solid with a specific chemical composition and characteristic geometric shape. A rock is mineral partials…

    The rate of a chemical reaction depends on the area of the surface area. A solid that is present in a chemical solution can only react when particles collide with the surface of the solid. If the area of the solid surface is made bigger then more particles can collide with it per second and the rate of reaction increases. You can increase the surface area of a solid by breaking it down into smaller pieces. A solid that is broken down into a powder has the largest surface area and therefore has the fastest reaction…

    Irreversible Hydrocolloid impression material also called “alginate impression material” is a powder that is mixed with water to obtain a paste in order to make an exact copy of the mouth. This creates a negative dental impression of the mouth into which a gypsum/plaster is poured. These impressions are taken in order to construct preliminary impressions for complete dentures, partial dentures with clasps and orthodontic models and study models. It is not used for crown and bridge impressions because of the lack of accuracy.…

    During the Spanish Civil War, a small Basque village was bombed by German troops. In April of 1937, Pablo Picasso paid tribute to the bombing by creating the painting, Guernica, which showed a horrible scene of corpses and disaster stricken community. In 1985, a replication of Guernica was donated to the United Nations headquarters in New York and was “hung outside in the Security Council chamber.” In February of 2003, councilmen gathered at the UN in order to hear US Secretary of State Colin Powell build the American case for war against Iraq. Before the procedure could begin, however, the replication was covered with “a blue curtain and flags of the council’s member countries,” under the notion that it “was simply a matter of creating a more effective backdrop for the television cameras.” Off the record, some UN officials believe that “the United States leaned on UN officials to cover the tapestry, rather than have it in the background while Powell or other US diplomats argued for war on Iraq.” This situation relates directly to George Orwell’s 1984. The covering of Guernica is similar to the censorship Orwell condemns in 1984. (Source 4:Walsh)…

    Synthesis of Chloroform

    Place 100g of calcium hypochlorite in a mortar and add 250 ml of water in small quantities at a time: between each addition grind the mixture of bleaching powder and water well together and decant the cream-like suspension through a funnel into a 1-litre flat-bottomed flask. Finally, when all the water has thus been used, only a gritty residue remains in the mortar. Fit the flask with an efficient reflux water-condenser, pour 44ml (35g) of acetone in small quantities, at a time, down the condenser and mix by thorough shaking after each addition. The reaction usually starts spontaneously after a few minutes, and a bath of cold water should be available into which the flask may be dipped if necessary to moderate the reaction. Should the reaction show no signs of starting within 5 minutes of the addition of the acetone, warm the flask cautiously on a boiling water-bath until the reaction starts, and then remove it immediately. When the vigorous boiling has subsided, heat the flask on a boiling water-bath for a further 5-10 minutes (not more) to complete the reaction. Cool the flask in…
