HISTORY
Before middle of the 18th century- Blocks of ivory & bone as IM.
During 18th century – Bees Wax, used in making impression.
1786 Phillip Ptaff – Sectional wax impression of half arch at a
time
1st plaster model.
1842 Montogomery – Discovered gutta percha.
1848 Colburn & Blake – Gutta percha as IM.
1844 Wescott, Dwinelle & Dunning – Used Plaster of Paris as IM.
1857 Chales stens of England - Discovered & introduced
modelling plastic.
1925 Alhous Poller – 1st suggested use of agar for dental
impressions
1937 Sears – 1st Recommended reversible hydrocolloid
Late 1920s– 1st True functional impression waxes developed.
1922 Everett – Used Fluid wax 3 consistencies
Early 1930’s A.W. Ward & E.B.Kelly – Gave
impetus to ZOE
1939 Trapozzano – Early techniques using ZOE paste.
S.S. Wilding– Patent to use algin for impression.
1936 Alginate- 1st American patent.
Middle 1950’s – Elastomeric impression
materials
DEFINITION
“An impression is essentially a negative or reverse
impression material”
1. By generic chemical name: Silicone material or ZOE
or commercial brand names.
2. By the manner in which they harden or set
Impression compound
Hydrocolloid Rubbers
ZOE
Polysulfide.
Agar
Poly
Alginate
silicones.
Polyether.
4. According to the viscosity or
tissue
displacement
Mucostatic Mucocompressive
4. Be economical
9. Be able to be electroplated
die materials
Elastomers
or
Rubber base Impression materials
Soft and rubber-like & are known as
elastomers or synthetic rubbers.
As per ADA Sp. No. 19 - non-aqueous elastomeric
dental impression materials.
Uses:
1. Impression material for all applications including
- Fixed partial dentures
- Dentures and edentulous impressions
2. Border moulding of special trays (poly ether)
3. Bite registration
4. As duplicating material for refractory casts
POLY SULFIDES:
Reactor Paste
Lead dioxide - 60 to 68 %
Dibutyl phthalate - 30 to 35 %
Sulfur - 3%
Other substances like Magnesium
stearate (retarder) & deodorants - 2%
Tray adhesive:
PbO2 + S
HS - R- SH HS - R-S-S-R-SH + H2O
Disadvantages
1. Unpleasant odor and colour - stains linen & messy to work with
2. Extremely viscous and sticky - mixing is difficult
3. Mixing time is 45 seconds
4. Long setting time of 12.5 (at 370C) - Patient discomfort
5. Dimensional stability:
- Curing shrinkage is high 0.45%
Silicone Rubber
Impression Material
1) Condensation silicones
2) Addition silicones
CONDENSATION SILICONE:
• Also known as conventional silicone.
Base Accelerators
dimensional
instability
3. Significant distortion
Accelerator:
Divinyl poly siloxane
Other siloxane pre polymers
Platinum salt: Catalyst (chloroplatinic acid)
Palladium (Hydrogen absorber)
Retarders
Fillers
SETTING REACTION:
Base Paste
Poly ether polymer
Colloidal silica (filler)
Glycol ether or phthalate (plasticizer)
Accelerator paste
Aromatic sulfonate ester (cross-linking agent)
Colloidal silica (filler)
Phthalate or glycol ether (plasticizer)
ADVANTAGES:
- More uniform mix
- Less air bubbles
- Reduced working time

Chemistry:
Similar to light cured composites
Properties:

• These both alter the original dimensions of the gel
Reversible Hydrocolloid – AGAR
Introduced by “Alphous poller of Vienna” in 1925
“Seaweed”
Manipulation:
Agar hydrocolloid requires special equipments
Hydro colloid conditioner
Water cooled rim lock trays
Conditioner Consists of:
a. Boiling or liquefaction section: 10 mins in boiling water (1000 C).
b. Storage section: 65-680 C is ideal it can be stored till needed
c. Tempering section: 460 C for about 2mins
WATER COOLED RIM LOCK TRAYS
FINAL IMPRESSION WITH AGAR
Advantages:
• Hydrophilic Impression material
• Good elastic properties, Good recovery from distortion
• Can be re-used as a duplicating material
• Long working time and low material cost
• No mixing technique
• High accuracy and fine detail recording
Disadvantages:
• Extensive and expensive equipment required
• It can not be electroplated
• Impossible to sterilize for reuse
• Low dimensional stability & tear resistance
Uses of Agar:
It is easy to manipulate
It is comfortable for the Patient
It is relatively inexpensive and does not require
elaborate equipment
COMPOSITION OF ALGINATE
Na2SO4
Disadvantages:
1. Cannot be electroplated.
2. Distortion occurs easily
3. Poor dimensional stability (poured within 15 min.)
4. Poor tear strength
Latest advances - Modified Alginates:
4. Dustless alginates
glycol.
5. Siliconised Alginates:
prosthesis
2. Mouth protectors
4. Duplicating models
