• The function of an impression material is to make a negative copy of the oral tissue … that is poured to produce a positive replica for these tissues
2
Requirement of an impression material
• Must be a semi-liquid material that will flow and adapt itself around the structure of interest.
• It must set and harden into a solid ?? that is rigid enough “not too rigid” to be removed from the mouth without becoming deformed.
• Copy details accurately• Dimensional stability after removal from the mouth• Appropriate working time (from the start of mix)• Appropriate time to harden in the mouth (setting time)• Bio-compatibility/Aesthetic, odor/taste• Chemically compatible with material used to pour cast or
dies
3
Impression trays
• Used to carry the impression material into the oral cavity• Can be
– metal or plastic– Perforated or non perforated– for edentulous or dentate – pre-manufactured (stock trays) or custom-made (made in the
lab. From resin).• Trays need to be rigid enough to support impression
material.• For impression material to be retained in tray, tray
maybe perforated, and adhesive spray can be used to enhance retention.

Inelastic impression materials (rigid)• Plaster of Paris (Type I gypsum)• Dental compound/impression compounds
– Softened by heat and pressed against tissue before it hardens. Thermoplastic softens at 60°C, remains plastic at 45°C and becomes firm at mouth temperature. Used for primary impression
• ZOE (Zinc oxide eugenol)– Other uses ???
• Impression wax
11
Elastic impression materials (non-rigid)• Hydrocolloids• Elastomers (Rubber)
Hydrocolloids • The colloid state represents a highly dispersed phase of
fine particles within another phase, some where between solution and a suspension.
• The colloid can exist as a viscous liquid known as a sol or a solid known as gel.
• If the particles are suspended in water, the suspension is called a hydrocolloid (hydrosol, hydrogel
• Hydrocolloids come in two forms:– Reversible agar– Irreversible alginate
13
AgarAgarComposition of agar:
14
Material Percentage
purpose
Agar (seaweed extract)
12-15% Colloidal particles as basis of the gel
Potassium sulfate
1% Ensures set of gypsum materials
Borax 0.2% Strengthens gel
Alkyl benzoate
0.1% Antifungal agent
water 85% Dispersing medium for the colloidal suspension
Properties • Flows well and adapts readily to hard and soft
tissue contours• Accurate reproduction (hydrophilic nature),
however, the impression need to be poured immediately.
• Need to be stored in 100% humidity for short period of time if not poured immediately
• Distortion is more likely to occur if impression not poured within an hour.
15
• Tear strength is not high.• If compressed it might rebound if compression is not too
sever otherwise deformation occurs.• Material suffers from loss or gain of water:– Syneresis: a process by which the gel contracts and
some of the liquid is squeezed out, forming an exudate on the surface.
– Evaporation: loss of water which causes the material to shrink, and impression is distorted.
– Imbibition: uptake of water, this will swell and distort the impression.
16
Clinical application
• The use of agar requires special equipment consisting of hydrocolloid conditioner (has 3 water bath chambers) and water -cooled tray connected to a rubber hose that delivers water.
• Usually used in lab for cast duplication • Agar is supplied in two viscosities, thick and thin
(depending on the amount of agar).
17
• Preparing the material for impression:– Gel heated to 71-100°C, becomes liquid (sol)– Tray and agar syringe are liquefied in 8-12
minutes in boiling water in 1st chamber– 2nd chamber is used to store the agar at 60-66°C.– 3rd camber kept at 45-47°C to temper agar before
use to prevent burns.
• Agar exhibits hysteresis, melting at 85 °C and solidifying from 32-40 °C
18
AlginateAlginate • Inexpensive• Easy to manipulate• Requires no special equipment• Reasonably accurate
Common uses:• Diagnostic cast (study model)• Preliminary impression for complete denture• Partial denture framework• Custom trays for fluoride or bleaching
19
Composition/setting rxn/working time
Material Percentage
purpose
Na, K alginate
15-20% Basis of the gel
Ca sulfate dihydrate
14-20% Creates irreversible gel with alginate
Potassium sulfate
10% ensures set of gypsum
Trisodium sulfate
2% Retarder to control setting
Diatomaceous earth
55-60% Filler to increase thickness and strength
20
Setting rxn/working time• Setting rxn occurs when the powder is mixed with water:
Ca sulfate dihydrate + NaAlginate Ca alginate• Working time: total time from start of mixing to the final time at
which an impression tray can be fully seated without distortion– Regular set: 2-3 minutes– Fast-set: 1.25-2 minutes
• Setting time: elapsed time from the start of mixing until impression material becomes firm enough to resist permanent deformation.Regular set: 2-5 minutes, Fast set: 1-2 minutes
21
Setting rxn/working time• Controlling water temperature shortens or
lengthens setting time• Changing P:L has adverse effect on
materials property and strength• Allow extra 1-2 minutes, tear strength
increases, and rebound from undercuts w/out deformation improves
22
Important considerations to ensure accurate impression
• 2-4 mm bulk material in tray• Snap action removal from mouth• Allow extra 1-2 minutes after setting to improve tear
strength• Stored in a moist environment to avoid loss of water and
deformation• Disinfect in less than 10 minutes to avoid dimensional
instability
23
Impression making• Fluff powder, wait 30 seconds for the dust to
settle• Measure powder and water according to
manufacturer instruction• Use spatula to stir water into powder to mix• Stir vigorously to create homogenous mix (45
seconds for regular, 30 seconds for fast setting alginate)
24
• Tray should cover all anatomical features• Utility wax can be added on tray borders to
extend its coverage• Adhesive spray is used to prevent separation of
alginate from tray.• Tray is loaded from posterior towards anterior• Moisten and smooth alginate• Posterior part of tray is seated first then anterior.• *tips to control gag reflex*
25
Elastomers
• Often called rubber materials since they have properties similar to rubber.
• Clinical uses:– Bridges– Implants– Partial dentures complete dentures– Indirect esthetic restorations
28
Polymerization reaction• Involves formation of long-chain polymers and
cross-linking of chains• General properties:– Not as sensitive to water as hydrocolloids– Have a certain amount of rebound, the highest is for
addition silicon and polyethers, medium for condensation silicon and poorest for Polysulfides
– Not wet well by water (hydrophobic) possible solution: surfactants
29
PolysulphidesDispensing & Composition
• Supplied in two tubes as base and catalyst, equal lengths are mixed. Light, regular, heavy viscosities
• Chemical composition of base:– 80% low-molecular-weight organic polymer containing
mercaptan reactive groups (-SH), and 20% reinforcing agents: titanium dioxide, silica, zinc sulfide
• Chemical composition of catalyst:– Lead dioxide or copper hydroxide
30
Setting reaction
Mercaptan + lead dioxide polysulfide+H2O
• The reaction is sensitive to temperature and moisture so increase in any will accelerate the setting.
• Also sensitive to correct mixing ratio
31
Uses • Crown and bridge impressions• Partial and complete denture impressionsClinical considerations when used• Used with custom trays• Allow 2mm thickness• Use tray adhesive• Dry field
32
Properties of clinical interest
• Setting time: 8-14 minutes• Higher tear strength than hydrocolloids• Accuracy improves if impression is poured within 30
minutes• very unpleasant taste and odor• Messy (orange solvent to remove stains)• Can be irritant to oral mucosa
For all these reasons, Polysulfides have been largely replaced by other rubber materials
33
Condensation silicon• Developed as alternative to Polysulfides• Has more desirable qualities in
comparison:– Easy mix– Better taste and odorless– Shorter setting time (5-7 minutes)
35
Dispensing & Composition
• Two pastes, base and catalyst.• Comes as light, medium, or heavy viscosity• Base: dimethylsiloxane + filler (silica)• Catalyst: suspension of stannous octoate +
alkyl silicate
36
Setting rxn
• Condensation reaction that produces ethyl alcohol as by product. The alcohol evaporates which causes dimensional instability.
• The material continues to contract with time, so needs to be poured within minutes.
37
Addition silicon (PVS)
• Desirable clinical qualities:– Dimensional stability– Accuracy– Clean – Easy to mix– No foul odor or taste
the most expensive
38
Dispensing & composition• Light, regular and heavy viscosities and also putty • Dispensed as cartridge with 2 chambers (pastes),
or two putty- system – Base: low-molecular-weight silicon with vinyl
groups (paste system), or low-molecular-weight silicon with silane hydrogens (putty) + silica filler
– Catalyst: chloroplatinic acid
39
Setting rxn• Polymerization rxn of chain lengthening and
cross-linking with reactive vinyl groups, producing a stable silicon rubber.
• No ethyl-alcohol by product• Some addition silicons produce hydrogen as by
product, manufacturers incorporated palladium powder that absorbs hydrogen
• setting time: 3-7 minutes
40
Polyethers
• Also used for crown and bridge work since they are very accurate and also more hydrophilic than other silicons
42
Dispensing & composition• Dispensing same as other rubber materials (2 tubes)• In addition it’s supplied in pouches of base and catalyst
placed in mechanical mixer.• Composition:– Base: low- molecular-weight polyether with cation
reactive group– Catalyst: aromatic sulfonic acid *clinical tip: mix well to avoid irritation from unmixed
catalyst.
43
Properties • Stiff, difficult to remove from undercuts• Short working and setting times• Setting time 3-5 minutes• Sensitive to moisture and temperature• More hydrophilic (must not be stored in water or
disinfectant) • accurate
44
Impression compound:
• Impression compound: softens with heat, hardens in the mouth.
• 2 main forms:– Cakes (sheets) /low fusing – Sticks /high fusing
• Clinical uses: – Sheets:
• Primary impression in metal trays
• To make custom trays– Sticks are used for border
molding
46
Composition & properties• Composition
– Thermoplastic resin and waxes– Fillers to reduce flow– Plasticizers– Organic acids or oils – Pigments
• Properties– Softened at 60°C, remains plastic at 45°C, firm at 37°C– Heated in water not by flame– Should be poured ASAP to avoid distortion – Flame used to heat sticks
47
Impression plaster
• Impression plaster: seldom used– Composed of plaster gypsum (Ca hemihydrae)– Used for primary impression (high P:L)– Scored with a knife in the mouth then removed and
reassembled in the lab (distortion?)– Wash impression – Easy to use– Inexpensive
48
ZNO eugenol
• Secondary impression for complete dentures, or wash impression (mucostatic impression)
• 2 tube paste system, different colorsZinc oxide (80%) and fillers, eugenol (15%) with oils, resin, fillers. In addition to chemical accelerator (zinc acetate)
• Dispensed in 2 equal lengths and mixed to homogenous color forming zinc eugenolate
• Initial set:3-6 minutes, final set:10 minutes• To accelerate the setting, a drop of water or zinc acetate
is added.
49
Properties • Brittle, so not suitable for areas with
undercut• Flows readily• Accurate• Eugenol can be irritant (burning sensation) • Once set, dimensionally stable
50
Impression wax• Clinical uses:– Preliminary impression for edentulous
patients– Bite registration– Baseplate wax used to be used for provisional
crown and bridge work– Melted to correct voids in gypsum casts
51
Disinfection of impressions
• The disinfectant should be compatible with the impression materials.
• After taking the impression, it should be rinsed with water, excess water shaken off, and disinfectant sprayed or impression immersed in disinfectant
• Protective gloves should be worn • Rinse after disinfection is complete
52
Disinfecting casts• Maybe necessary if impression was not
properly disinfected, or if immersion of impression adversely affects the impression
• Casts should be set and stored for 24 hours before disinfection.
• Solution used: Na hypochlorite, iodophors.
53
Sterilizing trays
• Trays should be properly sterilized before use
• Disposable trays are recommended if appropriate
• Sterilization can be achieved by heated steam, dry heat, chemical vapors
