Impression materials

A dental impression is a negative record of the tissues of the mouth. It is used

to reproduce the form of the teeth and surrounding tissues.

1. A rigid, muco-compressive.
2. Reversible.
3. Thermoplastic material.
4. Making primary impression.
Presentation: present as sheets, sticks, cakes and cones.
 Composition
1. Waxes: usually bees wax (thermoplastic properties).
2. Resin: like (shellac, dammar, Rosen) give the thermoplastic properties.
3. Plasticizers: (stearic acid) to overcome brittleness.
Waxes + Resin brittle material.
4. Filler:(calcium carbonate and limestone) added to:
Overcome tackiness.
Control degree of flow.
Minimize shrinkage due to thermal contraction.
Improve rigidity of impression material.
Types of impression compound
Type I (lower fusing)
• Sheet form (primary
impression )
• Stick form (border
molding)

Type II (tray compound )

 USES
1. Primary impression for edentulous ridges .
Type I
2. Border molding of special tray or peripheral tracing .
3. Make a special tray . Type II
 Properties

1. Muco-compressive and the most viscous impression materials Rigid once

cooled not used to record undercuts (used for primary impression only).
2. Poor dimensional stability (high value of coefficient of thermal expansion)
so undergoes considerable shrinkage on removal from mouth. also because
its muco-compressive residual stress exists in cool impression (the mould
should be poured as soon as possible within 1 hour).
3. Low thermal conductivity. ‫ﺑﻤﺎ اﻧﻮ ﻗﺪرة ﺗﺤﻤﻠﻬﺎ ﻟﻠﺤﺮاره ﻗﻠﻴﻠﺔ ف ﻫﺬا رح ﻳﺨﻠﻲ ﻧﺴﺒﺔ اﻟﺘﻤﺪد اﻟﺤﺮاري ﻋﺎﻟﻴﻪ‬

Type I hard Type II soft Base paste (white color).
Reactor or accelerator or catalyst paste
(red in color).
 Composition
Reactor paste
Base paste • oil of cloves or eugenol 12 %.
• zinc oxide 87 • gum or polymerized rosin 50%.
• -fixed vegetable or mineral • filler (silica type). 20%
oil 13 %. • -resinous balsam 10 % ( improve flow
• -water and mixing properties).
• -lanolin 3%
• accelerator solution CaCl2 and coloring
agent 5%.
• water.

 Properties
1. Setting time
Type I: IST= (3-6) Min., FST=10 Min.
Type II: IST= (3-6) Min., FST=15 Min.
Factor controlling the setting time:
By varying the length of the two pastes (not recommended).
 ST by adding zinc acetate or acetic acid or drop of water.
 MT ST.
High atmospheric temperature and humidity accelerated the setting time.
 ST delayed by cooling the mixing slab, spatula or by adding small amounts of waxes or
oils.
2. Accurate registration and mucostatic.
3. Rigid (non elastic).
4. Special tray need.
5. Adequate adhesion to acrylic tray.
6. Dimensionally stable, a negligible shrinkage (less than 0.1 %).
7. No separating medium is needed.
8. The paste tends to adhere to skin..
9. Eugenol can cause burning sensation and tissue irritation.
10. Checked in mouth repeatedly without deformation.
