Negative reproduction
Impression
Positive reproduction
Model or cast
Compression of tissues during impression to stimulate amount of pressure during function
Pressure (functional)
Oversize tray,no border molding,Zoe impression paste
Non selective (mucostatic)
Uses custom trays,best suited for withstanding forces of mastication
Selective
Most common,used to any patient
Perforated stock trays
Any individual jaw
Advantage: stability,lack of displacement
Custom trays
Most important factor in takin accurate impression

Types of impression materials in dentistry
Hydrocolloid
Elastomeric
Bite registration
Digital
Rigid
-Flexible cross linked polymers when set
-dominate the market mainly as a result of their greater accuracy, dimensional stability with time, and
ability to record detail as compared with the hydrocolloid materials.
-The first elastomeric impression mate
Elastomeric impression Materials
-AKA: polysiloxanes (VPS)
-Two paste or a two putty system
-no volatile by-product (such as water or ethanol) is formed in this reaction, minimal dimensional change occurs during polymerization.
Addition silicone
It is poorly wetted by water with a contact angle of 90°
hydrophobic surface
is readily wetted by water with a low contact angle.
hydrophilic surface
-have properties similar to the addition silicones.
-is hydrophilic and exhibits good wetting properties, even in a moist field.
-have the disadvantage of limited dimensional stability over time and older materials had poor taste.
-supplied as a base and catalyst system.
Polyether
Notes as short working times 1.5 to 3 minutes
Addition silicones
- This impression material is supplied as a base and an accelerator
-The multifunctional ethyl silicate produces a network or cross-linked structure that partly accounts for the low values of permanent deformation and flow
-are not used commonly in the dental office but rather are used as an accurate duplicating material in the dental laboratory.
-The setting reaction is sensitive to moisture and heat, with increases in either resulting in shorter setting and
working times
Condensation silicone
-Also called rubber base or mercaptan
-supplies as two paste
-The permanent deformation values of 2% to 3% (elastic recovery of 97% to 98%)
-shrink 0.3% to 0.4% dur- ing the first 24 hours
Polysulfide
Impression compound
ZOE
Rigid impression material
Impression compound is composed of?
-resins
-waxes
-organic acids
-fillers
-coloring agents
-sticks or cones
Low fusing material 45c
