 FLASKING-1

8/4/2019 Processing Dentures

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/processing-dentures 3/55

 Purpose of flasking: To produce a mould of the

waxed-up denture for packingand processing of the acrylic

material.

 Preparation of dentures for

 flasking 1-The teeth waxed

securely into

place. 2-The dentures

sealed to the casts

3-The castsseparated fromarticulator and

trimmed (tapered).

Selection of flask

A big flask, allowing at least half an inch between the teeth and the

flask edge.

The rim of the cast should flush

with the bottom half of the flask.

The teeth are not too high inrelation to the top of the flask.

Technique of Flasking

8/4/2019 Processing Dentures

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/processing-dentures 7/55

Dental stone is the

best material for

flasking.

The lower flask is

filled with plaster

or dental stone, and

the model is placedin.

Excess plaster is

wiped away and

smoothed.

A separating medium painted over theplaster

The top part is placed in position. Dental stone is placed over the teeth and

wax surfaces.

The top section is filled with plaster and

excess plaster is wiped away and the twosections closed together.

WAX ELIMENATION - 2

 Wax elimination

The flask is placedin boiling water for

5 minutes. then

opened.

 –  Prolonged heating

will case molten

wax to penetrate theflasking plaster.

Wax washing

Wax is washed by boiling

water

Care is taken to avoid loss of 

teeth

Separating medium application

Tin foil substitutesis applied by brush.

Examples of the

separating mediumare:

 – water glass (sodium

silicate 60 per cent

in water)

 –  sodium alginate

solutions

 – Vaseline.

  Mixing of acrylic resin

The hands washed,

mixing vessel cleaned.

The polymer tomonomer 3.5 to 1 by

volume. 6-8 c.c. of monomer is

placed in the mixingcontainer.

The polymer addedslowly, tapped andstirred.

The vessel covered.

  Packing of acrylic resin:

 Packing done when: – The resin has reached dough

consistency-The plaster surfaces in the flask 

are cold

 – Separating medium is applied.

The injection method - A

In this method a  sprue arrangement with a suitable flask 

is used.

Acrylic resin is constantly fed into

the mould during processing

through a  plunger and spring tension system.

The open flask method - B

Excess resin is placedinto tooth section of flask 

The flask is closedgradually under benchpress.

Then the flask isopened and excessresin is removed

The open flask method   The cast is painted with a separating

medium and the flask is closed The flask placed in flask press which is

firmly closed for 30 minutes before curing.

Curing of acrylic resin- 4

8/4/2019 Processing Dentures

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/processing-dentures 23/55

Curing of acrylic resinThe packed flask is heated in an oven

or water-bathThe  temperature and time of heating 

must be controlled.

If the material is under-cured  thedenture have a high residual monomercontent. – a) Free monomer irritate the oral tissues.

 – b) Residual monomer make the resinweaker.|

8/4/2019 Processing Dentures

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/processing-dentures 24/55

.The rate of temperature rise mustbe gradual.

Monomer boils at 100.3 degree C. 

Polymerization reaction is exothermic.

Thus if a large mass of unreactedmaterial is suddenly plunged intoboiling water, the temperature of theresin may rise above 100.3 degree C

So vaporizing the monomer occurs.

This causes  gaseous porosity.

8/4/2019 Processing Dentures

 Long curing cycle- A

 A constant temperature At 74 C

For 8 hours or 9 hoursWith no terminal boil.

No degradation of resin properties

occurs.

8/4/2019 Processing Dentures

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/processing-dentures 26/55

Short curing cycle- B

Heat at 740 c

For 1.5 hours

Boiling for an additional one hour.

8/4/2019 Processing Dentures

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/processing-dentures 27/55

 Rapid curing method -C 

Rapid heating in boiling water for

20 minutes.

8/4/2019 Processing Dentures

 Cooling

The flask is cooled slowly on thebench to room temperature

Slow cooling permits relief of stresses 

to avoid distortion (warp) of the acrylic.

 DEFLASKING- 5

8/4/2019 Processing Dentures

  Deflasking

1-The investing plaster isremoved in one block from the

flask. Investing plaster is cut down

from the cast.

Then the model is removed  from

the denture.

 Finishing

The excess flush at the periphery

is removed with a large stone orbur.

The surfaces are shaped until it issmooth and cleans.

Particular care must be taken to

make the peripheries rounded The fitting surface small pimples 

is removed with a small stone or

bur.

 . Porosity1

 

Porous denture is

difficult to clean,

esthetically

objectionable

and weak 

Large voids

8/4/2019 Processing Dentures

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/processing-dentures 40/55

SHRINKAGE POROSITY - A

It appears as irregular voids throughout the

surface of the denture due to under packing.

Causes: • Lack of dough in the mold at the time of final closure.

• Lack of adequate pressure during polymerization.

• Packing the resin in a sticky rather than doughy stage..

 

8/4/2019 Processing Dentures

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/processing-dentures 41/55

GASEOUS POROSITY - B

It appears as fine uniform bubbles

particularly in thick sections of the denture.

Cause:

• Thick denture bases heated too rapidly

8/4/2019 Processing Dentures

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/processing-dentures 42/55

 . Tooth movements 2

Causes: • The use of plaster instead of 

stone in investing the trial denture.

• Incomplete closure of the flask.• Excessive and rapid pressure

during trial closure.

• Over packing of the mold withresin material before final closure.

 . Denture base and teeth 3

 breakage during deflasking.

 Causes: 

• Knife blade hit teeth whenremoving stone cap.

• Hammer used to tap denture out

of the flask.

 . Crazing of acrylic resin base 4

 or acrylic teeth:

Causes:  • Stresses induced by the contraction

of the resin around the tooth by rapid

cooling.

• The use of solvents to remove waxfrom the mold before packing.

 . Bleaching of acrylic resin 5

Causes:  •Undercured acrylic resin.

•Incorporation of the tinfoil substituteswith the acrylic resin.

 . Color streaks in the resin6 

 material 

Causes: Improper mixing of the monomer

and polymer.

• Contamination of the resin mix

with dirty hands or instrument.

• Adding resin material in layers

during packing.
