COLLOIDS
Colloids are often classified as the fourth state of matter , the colloidal
state, because of these differences, in the structure, constitution and reactions ,
How does a colloid differ from a solid and liquid? Lets as at first examine a
separation between the soluble and the solvent molecules . if the sugar
molecules are replaced with large ,visible, on-soluble particles such as sand
(in water)the system is termed a suspension .if these particles become liquids,
like oil in water ,the system is called as emulsion ,The suspended particles or
liquid droplets, which do not readily diffuse and tend to fall out of the

True solution exits as a single phase. However, both the colloid and the
suspension have two phases dispersed and dispersion . in the colloid the
particles hi the dispersed phase consist of molecules that are held together
either by primary or secondary forces . The size of the colloid particles range
from I to 200 mm . The two phases are either compatible or non compatible.
Thus the dispersed phase may not stay suspended in the dispersion medium.

The seaweed, or kelp, plant is the tallest plant, even taller than the
giant Redwood tree. Some of the best seaweed (Kelp) plants grow in
a reef off the coast of lower California. The height of the seaweed is controlled
by the depth of the reef’s floor. Before world war II, Japanese came to this
reef and harvested the plants , loaded them on ships and took them to Japan ,
where the seaweed was cleansed, boiled in water, and allowed to gel. He gel
was transported back to California, where it was converted into agar agar
With the advent of world war II, Japanese ships were denied the use of the

Procedures:
1. The master cast must be thoroughly soaked is clear slurry water. A minimum of
30 minutes soaking is usually required.
2. Place the cast on the base of the duplicating flask to make that the space around
and above the cast in sufficient for the duplicating material.
19
Duplication procedure
There should be ¼” (0.63) clearance in all directions. If there is no enough space the cast
must be trimmed or a larger flask used.
3. The cast is centered on the base of the flask and it is secured with three small
pieces of modeling clay.
4. The outer rim of the flask base is filled with modeling clay and the seat the
body of the flask firmly into the rim. This act as the seal and prevents the
hydrocolloid from escaping . it is asl oact as an insulting area when the flask
is being cooled slowly.
6. Place small ball of modeling clay adjacent to cut by not over the two vent
holes in the top surface of the body of the flask. These will be used to close
the hole when the duplication material has filled the flask, an the air has
escaped.
8. Fill the duplicating flask with agar. If the storage unit is used , center the
duplicating flask under the pouring spout and open the value. A stream
diameter of a lead pencil is desired.
20
Duplication procedure
9. Continue to fill the flask unit the agar stars to run out of the hole on top of the
flask. Block the holes with modeling plastic until the flask and reservoir are
completely filled.
10. Cool the duplicating material in the flask in an exacting manner. It should be
placed on a tray of cool running tap water. The water should contact only the
base on the flask. Cooling the base of the flask causes the hydrocolloid to
shrink in the direction of the lower temperature or toward the cast, thus
causing it to adapt more closely to the cast. The reservoir ring supplies the
additional material needed to compensate for the shrinkage. Leave the flask
in the water for at least 45 minutes to cool it completely .
11. Remove the flask from the water and remove the reservoir ring. Use the
sharp knife, and trim the hydrocolloid flush with the top of the flask.
12. Invert the flask and gently twist and remove the base of the flask.
13. If the modeling plastic retention were not removed with based, they should
be removed now.
14. Invest the trip of 2 knives in the depression on each side of the cast made by
small amounts of modeling clay that held the cast. Pry upward using the swift
action and equal pressure on the both knives. The cast maybe loose first with
gentle blast of air around the borders of the cast base.
15. After the cast is removed, examine the hydrocolloid carefully for tears 0
voids. Tears may indicate that the hydrocolloid is old or spoiled and needs
replacing. If it is acceptable, pour it immediately.

iii) The water at room temperature was employed instead of ice water.
The overcome the advantages of the alginate, in the past recent years several new
material for mixed prosthesis based on alginate have been introduced. As the new

Ander et. Al. conducted a study on the accuracy of new alginate and traditional
alginate. According to them new alginates are 2-3 time costly than alginate and they
stated that this study does not indicate that the increase prize corresponds to a similar
Anne Pertzfeldt et al proved from their study that the accuracy of the blue print

Discussion
From the results obtained of the present study, it has been proved that there is the
significant difference on the dimensional accuracy between the alginate and the improved
alginates.
There was no by-product of the polymerizing reaction and the material proved to be more
cast made from different impression material and they conclude that silicone impression
material produced less inter-abutment distortion than the irreversible hydrocolloids and
they also stated statically significant differences exist among the different impression
materials.
From the present study it is proved that the significant differences exist between
The result of this in vitro study showed that improved alginates are better than
alginates but the elastomers are the still more accurate. So the further studies are required

Summary and Conclusion
Summary and Conclusion
For this study, Fracsco model was prepared with four reference
marking and seven impressions were made, totally 42 casts were prepared
using different impression material and the distance between the reference
markings A-B, B-C, C-D, and D-A on the casts were measured and compared
with the distance between the reference marking on the master model.
