The effect of potential investment expansion and hot strength on the fit of full-crown castings made with a gypsum-bonded investment

Abstract

It has been claimed that the strength of the investment mold at the casting temperature affects the dimensional accuracy of castings (e.g., Markley, 1953; Earnshaw, 1957; Asgar, 1972), but the relationship has not been studied quantitatively. In this investigation, the effects of both mold expansion and hot strength on the relative inaccuracy of full-crown castings have been measured and analyzed. The likelihood that a strong investment could cause distortion of the casting by non-uniform restriction of casting shrinkage (Earnshaw, 1969b) was also considered. Castings were made with a commercial gypsum-bonded inlay investment, used both as supplied and with modifications that increased its expansion and reduced its hot strength. In both series of tests, the investments were used over a wide range of liquid/powder (L/P) ratios in casting rings fitted with dry ceramic liners, and set under dry conditions. Casting inaccuracy showed a significant linear correlation with total expansion and a highly significant linear correlation with the combination of total expansion and hot strength. The modified investment, with its low hot strength, gave less distortion of casting shape than did the much stronger unmodified material. However, i...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
