3. An impression
is a negative
likeness of the
teeth and the
surrounding
structures
A fixed
prosthesis
cannot be
fabricated
without a
proper
impression
A positive
likeness of the
impression
has to be
obtained

Except for polyether, all impression materials are hydrophobic more chances for voids
Subginigval margins sulcular damage is inevitable transient, provided provisional restoration is proper
Impregnated cord astringent shrinks gingival tissue transient ischemia closes quickly immediate impression
Aluminium chloride and ferric sulfate cause minimal tissue damage
o Contact between astringent solution and prepared tooth must be minimized if smear layer is to be maintained.
o Mono acidic hemostatic agent epinephrine (C/I – cardiac patients may cause tachycardia)
Evaluate?? Should be able to see the preparation margin clearly and the cord uninterrupted without any soft tissue folding over it. It should remain directly accessible over a minute
Repeated use of the gingival retraction cord must be avoided as it may cause recession.
Sometimes the use of a double cord technique is useful. For this to be successful, there should be atleast 1mm of space between the top of the initial cord and the preparation margin.
Hollow metal tip contains a cotton filament to help control flow of the medicament
Caution to be exercised while pouring impression made of materials whose surface is more difficult to wet
Shear thinning when a monophasic body is suspended over a false body (material of thicker consistency) can stay without sagging or dripping. At the sae time, it exhibits sufficient viscosity when expressed through a syringe thixotropic material
Not primary criteria for choosing impression material
For reversible hydrocolloids, reducing bulk may not increase accuracy, instead it is the reverse.
Alternatively, the resin maybe soaked in boiling water for 5 mins and allowed to cool to room temperature
Packaged as semi-solid gel in polyethylene tubes. Requires 3 water baths. Liquifying bath, storage bath tempering bath.
Pressure exerted on the tray while the wash is polymerizing will produce stresses in the semi-rigid putty lining the impression tray. When the impression is removed from the mouth, the stresses will relax, resulting in deformation and distortion of the impression
