4

how many investing layers are used in the cold packing method?

5 minutes

During the wax elimination step of cold packing technique, the flask from the Four-Layer investment technique was placed in boiling water for _____ minutes to soften the wax bases, then removed and a knife has been placed in the slot between the flask sections to separate the flask

Retention holes or diatorics

During the wax elimination processing of the denture for the cold packing technique, what is placed at the bottom of denture teeth?

waterbath

For the cold packing method, processing is done in a ______

Gypsum separating agent

During the resin-packing step of the denture for the cold packing technique, what is applied to the edentulous ridge areas of the cast to prevent the resin from fusing to the stone cast?

Do NOT apply the agent over denture tooth surfaces

Where should you avoid placing gypsum separating agent?

- Pneumatic press

- Flask press

What are two types of presses used in the resin-packing step of the denture for the cold packing technique?

Monomer

A brush is used to apply a thin layer of ________ to each of the compressed resin surfaces in both halves of the flask to ensure the opposing sections of resin will be securely united with each other.

- 8 hours at 160℉

- 1 hour at 212℉

For the cold packing method, for a slow cure, how long and at what temps should you cook the RPD?

- 1 hour at 165°F

- 30 minutes at 212℉

For the cold packing method, for a quick cure, how long and at what temps should you cook the RPD?

The tapping causes the investing stone to separate itself from the lubricated flask

During the deflasking step of the denture for the cold packing technique, a plastic-headed hammer is used to tap on the round insert located in the center of the lower portion of the flask. What does the tapping cause?

A small-tipped rotary instrument

What can be used to adjust areas of heavy occlusal contact in the cold packing technique?

Until the incised guide pin comes into contact with the blue incised guide table, indicated adjustment has now returned the RPD to its original vertical dimension of occlusion

When is the centric occlusal relationship adjusted until?

Decasting

What step of the cold packing technique is this?

1st: Cut off abutment teeth:

- A bur is used to cut the grooves through the stone to separate the abutments from the base of the cast.

- Once the abutments are separated from the base of the cast, sometimes the RPD will come off the base of the cast.

- Other times, the base of the cast will need to be sectioned

Acrylic resin

An __________ bur is being used to remove the resin flash present at the perimeter of the base and to produce a rounded form to the border

Scalpel

A __________ is used to trim the slight amount of resin flash that was expressed beyond the internal finish line on the framework and over the polished internal surface of the lingual bar major connector. The junction of the resin base and the internal finish line will then be very carefully adjusted with a small rotary instrument until the transition between the resin and the metal is smooth
