Mixing<br />

Mixing in a vacuum mixer generally<br />

has a positive effect on the<br />

gypsum. When mixing mechanically<br />

in a vacuum, you will need<br />

only half the time quoted for<br />

manual mixing, i.e. 60 seconds<br />

mixing by hand equals 30 seconds<br />

mixing by machine.<br />

gypsum crystal structure.<br />

You should never add more<br />

gypsum powder to an excessively<br />

thin mix or more water to<br />

an excessively thick mix. You will<br />

only be interfering in the setting<br />

process and will damage the<br />

Surface problems<br />

Difficulties with the surface bet-<br />

ween the gypsum and alginate or<br />

hydrocolloidal moulding materials<br />

can be overcome by pretreatment<br />

of the mould. Alginate<br />

impressions can be neutralized<br />

with trimming water of gypsum<br />

powder and insulated with alginate<br />

insulant to prevent blooming<br />

or unhardened areas in<br />

the surface of the model. Hydrocolloidal<br />

impressions should be<br />

replaced in potassium sulphate<br />

or potassium carbonate solution<br />

and neutralized.<br />

Carefully remove saliva and<br />

blood remnants, as they will also<br />

impair a dental gypsum setting<br />

properties.<br />

The finish<br />

mixture must<br />

be transfered<br />

immediately<br />

to the mould.<br />

Casting<br />

Never mix more gypsum at the<br />

time than you will need for 2-3<br />

impressions because the mould<br />

must be filled within the processing<br />

time. During the crystal<br />

forming process, which starts at<br />

the end of the processing time,<br />

the gypsum must be left alone.<br />

If you work with a gypsum that<br />

has started to solidify, the fine<br />

details will not be reproduced<br />

with enough accuracy and the<br />

strength of the gypsum will be<br />

reduced notably.<br />

This point must be observed<br />

particularly if you use vibrator.<br />

Filling the mould on a vibrator<br />

certainly has a positive impact on<br />

the formation of bubbles, pressure<br />

resistance and fluidity, but<br />

the vibrating must never be continued<br />

into the setting time.<br />

Soaking the model<br />

Gypsum casts should never be<br />

subjected to shock treatment. If<br />

a cast needs to be evaporated for<br />

example, soaking (for approx.<br />

5-8 minutes) will reduce the risk<br />

of the model being affected by<br />

flaking and cracking. Cleaning<br />

with a stream lance may remove<br />

surface layers and lead to inaccurate<br />

contours. Models are<br />

10 rules to be observed<br />

Modelling time<br />

If the gypsum loses its lustre, it<br />

is possible to model or trim the<br />

gypsum for about 60 seconds.<br />

The subsequent setting time<br />

varies from one grade of the<br />

gypsum to another. We fix a setting<br />

time of approx. 10-12 minutes<br />

+/- 1,5 minutes for hard stone<br />

(type 3). Some super hard stone,<br />

on the other hand, are tuned for<br />

longer overall setting times. Setting<br />

times in accordance with a<br />

customer‘s individual wishes are<br />

possible for large orders. The<br />

gypsum must not be processed in<br />

any way during the setting time.<br />

best cleaned with a soft brush<br />

and a mild soap solution. Brief<br />

soaking may also prevent flaking<br />

and spalling when old models<br />

are being sawn or prepared. In<br />

order to prevent surface erosion,<br />

the water can be saturated with<br />

calcium sulphate, for example by<br />

inserting old models.<br />
