This is the weakest of the gypsum products.
What is model plaster (Type II)?
This wax is used to form the general shape of restorations and must burn out cleanly.
What is pattern wax?
This polymer is commonly used for denture bases and is formed from methyl methacrylate.
What is PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate)?
Biodentine is this type of material.
What is calcium silicate-based cement?
This is the primary enzyme in Papacarie.
What is papain?
This reaction occurs when hemihydrate reacts with water to form dihydrate.
What is an exothermic reaction?
This wax is used to fabricate metallic frameworks for removable partial dentures.
What is casting wax?
This type of polymerization involves free radicals and produces no by-products.
What is addition polymerization (free-radical)?
This compound is omitted in Biodentine to reduce the risk of tooth discoloration.
What is bismuth oxide?
Papacarie is designed to act on this type of dentin.
What is infected dentin?
This gypsum product is used for high-strength dies and has the least porosity.
What is Type IV die stone?
This property of waxes causes them to expand significantly when heated.
What is thermal expansion?
These additives soften polymers and are used in temporary soft liners.
What are plasticizers?
This element in Biodentine improves color stability.
What is zirconium oxide?
This country developed Papacarie.
What is Brazil?
This additive acts as a retarder and extends gypsum setting time.
What is borax?
This wax flows at mouth temperature and is used to reproduce mucosal detail.
What is corrective impression wax?
These polymers are formed from monomers with double bonds at both ends and resist cracking.
What are cross-linked polymers?
Exposure to this substance increases the risk of discoloration in Biodentine.
What is blood?
This is the mechanism by which Papacarie reduces bacteria.
What is enzymatic removal?
This additive accelerates gypsum setting by acting as a nucleation site.
What is terra alba (slurry)?
This phenomenon occurs when wax is manipulated and causes irreversible deformation.
What is residual stress?
These are formed from two or more monomers to modify physical and chemical properties.
What are copolymers?
This cell type is differentiated from pulp stem cells due to stimulation by bioactive materials
What are odontoblasts?
This patient group benefits most from Papacarie treatment.
Who are children and anxious patients?
