Study Notes

Impression Materials

  • Impression materials are used to record accurately the shape and dimensions of oral tissues.
  • A mixed material in the soft state is placed against oral tissues to set, giving a negative reproduction of the oral tissues.
  • A positive reproduction is obtained by pouring mixed plaster or stone into the impression, which is called a model when large areas of oral tissue are involved or a die when a single tooth is prepared.

Requirements for Ideal Impression Material

  • Safe (not toxic or irritant)
  • Acceptable to the patient (good odor, color, and taste)
  • Sufficiently fluid to reproduce all fine details
  • Suitable setting time
  • Sufficient mechanical properties (not tear or permanently deform during removal from undercut areas)
  • Dimensionally stable to allow enough time to pour plaster or stone
  • Compatible with die and model materials (no need for separating medium)
  • Long shelf life (no deterioration in the dental office)
  • Easy to manipulate and inexpensive
  • Disinfected without affecting accuracy or stability

Key Requirements

  • Accuracy: the ability to record fine details
  • Stability: the ability to maintain the recorded fine details
