IMPRESSION 2016-2017
Definition
The negative reproduction of the prepared
and/or unprepared tooth or teeth with the
surrounding structures by which positive
reproduction (casts or dies) can be obtained
REQUIREMENTS
•Accurate and record fine details.
•Dimensional stable, on setting or
storage.
•Elastic properties
•Adequate strength.
•Sufficient flow.
• Adhesive bond of the impression to the
tray should be higher than the
retentive force.
• Cohesive and not adhesive to the oral
tissue.
• Non toxic or irritant.
• Reasonable working and setting time.
• Easy to mix.
• Adequate shelf life.
•Readily disinfected without loss of accuracy.
•Compatible with die and stone materials.
•No release of gas during the setting of the
impression or cast and die materials.
CLASSIFICATION
Non elastic impression Elastic impression
• Plaster. • 1. Hydrocolloid:
▫ Reversible hydrocolloids
• Impression [Agar-Agar]
compound. ▫ Irreversible
• Zinc oxide eugenol. hydrocolloids [Alginate]
• 2. Elastomeric impression:
• Waxes
▫ Polysulphide
▫ Condensation silicone
▫ Addition silicone
▫ Polyether
Non-Elastic Impression
• Material: Metal or
plastic usually
perforated.
• Techniques: sectional
or overall impression.
• Advantages: Time
conservation.
Custom special tray
• Material: resin.
• The material used must be
dimensionally .
• Techniques: Overall impression
• Advantages: The thickness of the
elastomer impression (2-4 mm)
allowed for improving its accuracy
due to of polymerization
shrinkage.
• The fitting surface must be coated
with adhesive and left to dry for a
period of 7-10 minutes before
loading the elastomer impression
material into it..
H2O circulating tray
• It’s used only with the reversible hydrocolloid
impressions.
