Study Notes

Rubber Impression Materials

  • Long coiled molecules, when stretched, uncoil easily deforming and are reversible
  • Flowable low molecular weight polymers convert to non-flowable rubbers via polymerization reactions

Types

  • Polysulfide, silicones (addition & condensation), polyether
  • Consistency depends on polymer molecular weight and filler amount

Polysulfide

  • Light, regular, heavy, putty consistencies
  • Polymer: terminal SH groups and pendant SH groups
  • Filler (e.g., titanium dioxide; 1-54%): improves strength, controls consistency.
  • Plasticizers (e.g., dibutylphthalate): adjust viscosity

Setting Mechanism

  • Reactor paste (catalyst or accelerator): leads to SH group polymerization and cross-linking via oxidation
  • Lead dioxide (PbO2): causes polymerization, cross-linking, and SH group oxidation; provides color
  • Plasticizers (oleic or stearic acid): control setting rate

Silicones

  • Condensation and Addition: Light, regular, heavy, putty consistencies
  • Setting mechanism involves condensation polymerization, cross-linking, and water elimination (shrinkage)
  • Oxidation of terminal and pendant SH groups in the polymer chain
  • Reaction accelerated by temp increases

Polyether

  • Regular consistency
  • Dimensions stability better than others
  • Tear strength higher
  • More expensive than others

Indications

  • Crown and bridge (secondary impressions)
  • Partial dentures (secondary)
  • Inlays

Properties

  • Accuracy: highly accurate with fine details, records fine details
  • Dimensional Accuracy and Stability: Shrinkage 0.25% after 24 hr, due to water byproduct loss
  • Elasticity: viscoelastic (98%), Flexible, minimizes stress during removal from undercut
  • Compatibility with die materials: hydrophobic so not affected by die materials (compatible), surface-active agents improve wetting
  • Tear Strength: highest resistance to tearing of the rubbers, good dimensional stability
  • Electroplating: hydrophobic, so can be plated with silver
  • Setting time: long duration of 10 - 12 minutes
  • Taste and Odor: sulfure taste/odor is bad
  • Disinfection: compatible with most disinfectants, but some dimensional change can result if the disinfectant soak time is too long
