Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Gypsum is a naturally occurring, white powdery mineral with the chemical name calcium sulphate dihydrate (CaSQ4·2H2O). Gypsum products used in dentistry are based on calcium sulphate hemihydrate (CaSO42)2·H2O.
Many dental restorations and appliances are constructed outside the patient’s mouth using models and dies which should be accurate replicas of the patient’s hard and soft tissues.
The term model is normally used when referring to a replica of several teeth and their associated soft tissues or, alternatively, to an edentulous arch. The term die is normally used when referring to a replica of a single tooth.
The morphology of the hard and soft tissues is recorded in an impression and models and dies are prepared using materials which are initially fluid and can be poured into the impression, then harden to form a rigid replica.
Many materials have been used for producing models and dies but the most popular are the materials based on gypsum products.
