Abstract:
This study evaluated the physical and mechanical properties of a dental stone mixed by shaking. A shake-mix dental stone (Shake! Mix STONE; SM) was characterized in comparison with three conventional dental stones. The fluidity at pouring time, setting time, density, powder particle distributions, linear setting expansion, compressive strength and surface reproduction of detail for dental stones were investigated. The marginal adaptations of cast crowns to dies made with each stone were also determined. SM had higher fluidity and faster setting time than the other stones (p<0.05). The setting expansion of SM at 2 h was lower than those of other two stones (p<0.05). The 15-min compressive strength of SM was higher than the others (p<0.05). There were no significant differences in the marginal adaptations of the cast crowns fabricated using all the stones (p>0.05). In spite of the different mixing method, the shake-mix type dental stone had comparable physical and mechanical properties to the conventional dental stones.
