Introduction
Impression materials are used to produce the accurate replicas
of intraoral tissues.
There are a wide variety of impression materials available
each with their own properties, advantages and disadvantages.
Materials in common use can be classified as elastic or non-
elastic according to the ability of the set material to be
withdrawn over undercuts.
Definition
“Any substance or combination of
substances used for making an
impression or negative reproduction.”
- GPT
“An impression is an “imprint” or negative
likeness of the teeth and/or edentulous areas,
made in plastic material which becomes
hardened or set while in contact with the
tissue.”
-Hartwell 1992
“An impression is the perpetual
preservation of what already exists and not
the meticulous replacement of what is
missing.”
-M.M.Devan 1995
Impression materials and techniques
• 1782 : William Rae used wax with Plaster of Paris.
• 1940s: American dentists used Plaster OF Paris for impression & the technique
was presented to the profession at large by Chaplin Harris in 1953.
• 1925 : Alphous Poller of Vienna was granted a British Patent for a totally
different type of impression material which was later described by Skinner as
Colloidal Sols of Emulsoid type. The possibility of using colloidal substance for
dental impression became apparent when Poller’s Negacoll was modified &
introduced into the dental profession as Dentacol in 1928. Agar hydrocolloid
was introduced to the dental impression.
• 1930 : JD Hart of Oklahoma began to use Agar for fabrication of cast
restoration.
1930 : AW Ward and EB Kelly introduced ZnO Eugenol.
1890s : A chemist from Scotland noticed that Brown Seaweed yielded peculiar
mucous extraction. He named it ‘Algin’.
1936-40 : S William Wilding used Algin as a dental impression material
1950s : Development of Rubber base impression materials (Polysulphides and
Condensation Silicones)
1960s : Polyether impression material developed in Germany
1970s : Addition silicone was introduced as a dental impression material
1988 : Latest addition and light cure elastomers
1990-2000 : New auto devices and delivery systems

Hydrocolloids
Colloids
 often classed as fourth state of matter as colloidal state.
 can be considered as a compromise between the very
small molecules in solution & very large particles in
suspension.
 Two phases
• Dispersed phase or dispersed particles
• Dispersion phase or dispersion medium
 All colloidal dispersions are termed as sols.
Types Of ColloidsTypes Of Colloids
The only exception is the gaseous state, i.e. two gases.
Hydrocolloids
 If the dispersion medium is water, the material is
known as hydrocolloid.
 Particles larger than those in solution.
 Particle size ranges from 1-200 nm.
 There is no clear line of demarcation among the
solutions, colloids & suspensions.
Gels
 Colloids with a liquid as a dispersion medium can
exist in two different forms known as Sol & Gel.
 Sol- has a appearance & many characteristics of a
viscous liquid.
 Gel- is a semisolid & produced from a sol by the
process of gelation.
Gelation
It is a process of conversion of sol to gel, to form
fibrils, micelles of the dispersed phase which become
interlocked to give characteristic jelly like consistency.
Within the gel, the fibrils branch & intermesh to give a
brush heap structure.
micellesmicelles brush-heapbrush-heap
structurestructure
Gelation Temperature
 The temperature at which gelation occurs is known as
gelation temperature.
• Agar - secondary bonds (weak) hold the fibrils together-
break at slightly elevated temperatures and become re-
established as it cools to room temperature - reversible
• Alginate - the fibrils are formed by chemical action -
irreversible
 The Gel may lose water by evaporation from its surface or by
exuding fluid onto the surface by a process known as SYNERESIS.
The gel shrinks as a result of evaporation & syneresis.
 If a gel is placed in water, it absorbs water by a process known as
IMBIBITION. The gel swells during imbibition, thereby altering the
original dimensions.
 The effects of syneresis, evaporation & imbibition on the
dimensional changes are of considerable importance in dentistry,
since any change in dimension that occurs after the impressions are
removed from the mouth will lead to inaccurate casts & models.
AGAR
(REVERSIBLE HYDROCOLLOID)
 Reversible hydrocolloids undergo transition from gel to
sol on heating.
 On cooling they return back to the original state.
The hydrocolloid supplied as the gel is heated above its
liquefaction temperature, cooled to a temperature
compatible with the oral tissues & placed in the mouth.
Gelation occurs as the tray continues to cool, after which
the impression is removed & poured.
Agar
 It is a sulphuric ester of a linear polymer of galactose.
• Gelation Temperature of agar is approx- 37˚-50˚c.
• The temperature at which the gel changes to sol i.e.
liquefaction temperature is 70˚-100˚c.
 Although it is an excellent impression material & yields
accurate impressions, it has been largely replaced by
alginates & rubber impressions because-
• Of the minimum equipment required
• Possibility of obtaining metal dies from rubber
impression.

material when its supply became scarce during World
War II.
• Based on a natural substance extracted from certain
brown seaweed. This substance is called as-
anhydro-ß-d-mannuronic acid or
alginic acid (sodium or potassium or
triethanolamine acid) (insoluble in water)
Currently, alginate is more popular than agar because-
• easy to manipulate

MANIPULATION :-
 Prepare a proper mixture of water & powder.
 The measured powder is sifted into the premeasured water.
 Water added first to ensure complete wetting of powder particles.
 Clean equipment is important.
 Avoid incorporating air into the mix.
 Figure –of-eight motion is best, with the mix being swiped or stropped against
the sides of the bowl with intermittent rotations (180˚) of the spatula to
press out air bubbles.
 All of the powder must be dissolved.

contains the alginate sol and the other contains the calcium reactor
 Siliconised alginates
 Chromatic alginates eg. Integra & KromaFaze (Dux dental) ,Take one
alginate(Kerr)
 Dustless alginates( glycerin is added on the alginate powder to
agglomerate the particles) eg.Identic dust free alginate (Dux
dental),Jeltrate Dustless(Dentsply Caulk) , Integra dustfree
alginate(Kerr)
 Alginot
 Alginator 2
Impression materials and techniques
Laminate technique (Alginate – Agar
Method)
• The hydrocolloid in the tray is replaced with a mix of chilled
alginate that bonds to the syringe agar.
• Alginate gels by a chemical reaction whereas agar gels by
means of contact with the cool alginate rather than with the
water circulating in the tray.
• Since the agar, not the alginate is in contact with the prepared
tooth, maximum detail is produced.
ADVANTAGES :-
Most cost effective way of producing an impression with adequate
detail.
 less preparation time required.
DISADVANTAGES :-
The bond between the agar & alginate is not always sound.
The higher viscosity of the alginate material displaces the agar
hydrocolloid during seating.
Dimensional inaccuracy of the alginate hydrocolloid limits its use to
single units.
Elastomeric
Impression Materials
• Soft and rubber-like & known as elastomers or synthetic rubbers
• As per ADA Sp. No.19- non-aqueous elastomeric dental impression
materials
• Liquid polymers when mixed with a suitable catalyst are converted into
solid rubber at room temperature.
TYPES :-

 Polysulphides
 Condensation polymerizing silicone
 Addition polymerizing silicone
 Polyether
 Visible light curable polyether urethane dimethacrylate ( a new class
added recently)

Maximum permanent Maximum flow Maximum dimensional
deformation in compression change in 24 hrs
Type I 2.5 0.5 -0.5
Type II 2.5 0.5 -1
Type III 5.5 2.0 -0.5
Each type is further divided into four viscosity classes;
III. According to Viscosity(ISO 4823)
1) Light body or syringe consistency
2) Medium or regular body
3) Heavy body or tray consistency
4) Very heavy body or putty consistency

 Generally hydrophobic
 Good elastic properties
 Excellent tear strength
 High coefficient of thermal expansion
 Electroplatable :-silver or copper plated
 Extended shelf-life : 2 years

 Requires tray adhesive and mechanical interlocking.
Dimensional changes occur due to :-
- Curing shrinkage
- Loss of by products of reaction
- Condensation silicone lose alcohol
- Polysulphide lose volatile accelerators(Hydroperoxide type)
- Polyethers absorb water and loses soluble plasticizers
- Thermal contraction when transferred from mouth to room
temperature.
- Incomplete elastic recovery after removal
- Increased filler content reduces the shrinkage
- Uniform thickness of the material : shrinkage more uniform
- Good adhesion of tray : Shrinkage is directed towards outer
surface of the tray
- Time of pouring : after elastic recovery

• These reactions are effected at ambient temperatures and the
materials are therefore called RTV( Room Temperature
Vulcanization) silicones.
• The ethyl alcohol formed evaporates gradually leading to
shrinkage & instability. So a condensation silicone should be
poured as soon as possible after removal from the mouth.
• Also called as polyvinyl siloxanes
• Has better properties than condensation silicones

Complications from latex gloves :-
• Contact of polyvinyl siloxanes with latex gloves should be avoided
• Especially true when handling and placing gingival cords
• Mechanism :-
- Migration of particulate sulfur and sulphur chloride compounds to the
surface and are transferred to prepared teeth and adjacent soft tissues
- When mixing by hand, mechanism of inhibition is thought to be
contamination of chlorplatinic acid catalyst with free sulfur left in
glove
- Residues from acrylics,methacrylates and petroleum jelly lubricants may
interfere with setting reaction of material
• Contact of internal surface of impression with gloved hands :-
- Failure of the material adjacent to the tray to polymerize
- Separation of the tray from the impression material
• Prevention :-
- Use vinyl or nitrile gloves to eliminate the problem
- Preparations should be cleaned after temporary prosthesis before
making final impression
- Avoid handling retraction cords with latex gloves

be required when removing from mouth or cast
Advantages Disadvantages
Dimensional stability - Set material very stiff
Accuracy - Imbibition
Shorter setting time - Short working time.
Automix available - Allergic hypersensitivity in some cases.
PROPERTIES OF ELASTOMERIC IMPRESSION MATERIALS
• Accuracy :-
- According to ADA sp no 19, elastomeric impression materials must be
able to reproduce fine detail of 25µm.
• Differences in ability to record fine detail of various viscosities :-
-Lower the viscosity of impression materials , better it will record fine
details
• Elastic recovery :-
-No impression material has 100% elastic recovery
- Eliminate or block out any undercuts in the tooth preparation before
making impression
• Dimensional stability
- PVS materials possess ideal dimensional stability
- Hydrocolloids are subject to imbibation & syneresis
• Flow & flexibility
- Addition silicone and polyether are pseudoplastic impression materials
• Rigidity
- Polyether impression materials tend to be more rigid than the other
materials
- PVS materials are reasonably stiff, but fracture of the dies are
uncommon
- Reversible hydrocolloid is the least rigid of all impression materials
-With dual arch impressions, use a very rigid impression material.
• Workability
- Automix devices, electronic mixing devices, and simpler mixing guns
provide a standardized mix
• Hydrophilicity :-
- Reversible hydrocolloid impression materials are truly hydrophilic
- Polyether impression materials are also hydrophilic but require a dry
field for making impressions
- The original PVS were hydrophobic but wettability is improved in the
later formulations
• Shelf life :-
-No more than 6 months’ supply of impression material should be kept
on hand at any time
• Patient comfort :-
- Polysulphide & Agar is less patient friendly
• Economic factors :-
- Reversible hydrocolloid is less expensive than elastomeric impression
materials

critical areas & the high-consistency material is mixed &
placed in an impression tray.
• After injecting the low viscosity material, the tray
containing the higher viscosity material is placed in the
mouth.
• Since both the materials are mixed together, they join,
bond & set together.
•After the materials have set, the tray & the impression
are removed.

Single viscosity or monophase technique
• Impressions often made with a medium viscosity impression
material.
• Addition silicone & polyether are well suited for this
technique because both have a capacity for shear thinning.
• When the medium viscosity material is forced through an
impression syringe, viscosity is reduced, whereas the
viscosity of the same material residing in the tray is
unaffected. This behavior of the materials is referred to as
PSEUDOPLASTIC.
• Advantages
 Reduced wastage of the material
 Less time consumption
 Avoids the time involved in fabrication of custom tray
• Disadvantages
 Relatively high viscosity and reduced flow of the
monophase materials, makes their injection onto the
preparation more difficult to control -increased incidence
of surface voids
- Stephen M. Dunne et al 1998
PUTTY -WASH
TECHNIQUE
 Two steps impression procedure whereby a preliminary impression
is taken in high or putty consistency material before the tooth
preparation is made.
 Space is provided for a low consistency material by a variety of
techniques, & after tooth preparation, a low consistency material is
syringed in to the area & the preliminary impression reinserted.
The low & high consistency materials bond, & after the low
consistency material sets, the impression is removed. This procedure
is sometimes called a WASH TECHNIQUE.
The Putty consistency materials & this technique were developed
for condensation silicones to minimize the effects of dimensional
change during polymerization. This technique was extended to
addition silicones after their introduction even though their
polymerization shrinkage is significantly lower.
simultaneously
technique (One
stage)
Light body material syringed on to the
preparation while the putty material loaded in a
stock tray is simultaneously inserted into the
mouth.
Impression materials and techniques
• Advantages
 Reduced chair side time
• Disadvantages
Absolute lack of control in the bulk of wash material
By mixing putty, syringe material simultaneously, setting
distortion of putty included in over all distortion of impression
 - Chee and Donovan 1992
Possibility of margins duplicated in putty medium
Tendency of bubbles to be formed and occluded in the set
impression
Putty wash relief channel
technique
Pre-operative putty impression is made intra orally
In the area where the tooth is to be prepared,
impression material is removed or channels prepared
using putty cutter instrument
The impression is then relined with low viscosity
material
Impression materials and techniques
• Advantages
Impression can be captured with the wash materials
• Disadvantages
To confine the wash material to area of relieved impression
If entire area is washed - creates hydraulic displacement of
putty impression resulting in smaller dies
- Donovan TE 2004
Putty wash 2mm spacer
technique
2 mm thick wax spacer is prepared on a diagnostic
cast, occlusal stops are provided on non-functional
cusps.
A putty impression is made with a stock tray
resulting in a putty custom tray with 2mm space for
the wash material.
Putty custom tray is then washed with light body
material.
Impression materials and techniques
• Advantages
 Wash stage carried out after the putty has set and
contracted
 Controlled wash bulk compensates for this contraction
with minimal dimensional change
• Disadvantages
 Extra chair side time
 Extra material
 Clinicians have an excellent array of impression materials &
techniques for fabrication of tooth restorations.
 Based on the quality of impressions sent to the commercial
laboratories, it seems that many impressions fall short of the
quality made possible by current impression materials.
 Thus it is important to review the contemporary principles of
impression materials & to take impressions consistent with
those principles. It is thus important to familiarize with the
various specialty impression techniques available & use them
when indicated.

Impression materials and techniques

  • 1. PRESENTED BY Dr EKTA GARG MDS 1st YEAR DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATIVE DENTISTRY & ENDODONTICS
  • 2. • Introduction • Definition • History • Ideal Requirements • Classification • Impression materials - Elastomeric materials - Hydrocolloids • Latest advances • Impression Techniques
  • 4. Impression materials are used to produce the accurate replicas of intraoral tissues. There are a wide variety of impression materials available each with their own properties, advantages and disadvantages. Materials in common use can be classified as elastic or non- elastic according to the ability of the set material to be withdrawn over undercuts.
  • 6. “Any substance or combination of substances used for making an impression or negative reproduction.” - GPT
  • 7. “An impression is an “imprint” or negative likeness of the teeth and/or edentulous areas, made in plastic material which becomes hardened or set while in contact with the tissue.” -Hartwell 1992
  • 8. “An impression is the perpetual preservation of what already exists and not the meticulous replacement of what is missing.” -M.M.Devan 1995
  • 10. • 1782 : William Rae used wax with Plaster of Paris. • 1940s: American dentists used Plaster OF Paris for impression & the technique was presented to the profession at large by Chaplin Harris in 1953. • 1925 : Alphous Poller of Vienna was granted a British Patent for a totally different type of impression material which was later described by Skinner as Colloidal Sols of Emulsoid type. The possibility of using colloidal substance for dental impression became apparent when Poller’s Negacoll was modified & introduced into the dental profession as Dentacol in 1928. Agar hydrocolloid was introduced to the dental impression. • 1930 : JD Hart of Oklahoma began to use Agar for fabrication of cast restoration.
  • 11. 1930 : AW Ward and EB Kelly introduced ZnO Eugenol. 1890s : A chemist from Scotland noticed that Brown Seaweed yielded peculiar mucous extraction. He named it ‘Algin’. 1936-40 : S William Wilding used Algin as a dental impression material 1950s : Development of Rubber base impression materials (Polysulphides and Condensation Silicones) 1960s : Polyether impression material developed in Germany 1970s : Addition silicone was introduced as a dental impression material 1988 : Latest addition and light cure elastomers 1990-2000 : New auto devices and delivery systems
  • 13. • Fluid enough to adapt to the oral tissues • Viscous enough to be contained in the tray • Setting time - less than 7 minutes • Adequate tear resistance • Dimensionally stable • Biocompatible • Cost effective
  • 15. I. Based on the degree of tissue compression/ amount of pressure applied • Mucostatic Ex: Impression plaster • Mucocompressive Ex: Impression Compound
  • 16. Elasticity A.

Alginate 2. Non-aqueous elastomers -Polysulfide - Polyether - Condensation silicone - Addition silicone Teeth and soft tissue B. Physical reaction (reversible) 3.Impression Compound Preliminary impression 3.Agar hydrocolloid Teeth and soft tissue
  • 17. III. Based on the chemical composition
  • 18. IV. Based on type of impression & area of use
  • 19. V. According to the use of the materials in dentistry A) Materials used for obtaining impression of dentulous mouth  Alginate  Agar  Non-aqueous Elastomers B) Materials used for obtaining Impression of edentulous mouth: • Impression Compound • Impression Plaster • Zinc Oxide eugenol • Wax
  • 20. VI. Based on Manipulation
  • 21. VII According to their method of use
  • 22. VIII. Based on the tray used for impression
  • 24. Colloids  often classed as fourth state of matter as colloidal state.  can be considered as a compromise between the very small molecules in solution & very large particles in suspension.  Two phases • Dispersed phase or dispersed particles • Dispersion phase or dispersion medium  All colloidal dispersions are termed as sols.
  • 25. Types Of ColloidsTypes Of Colloids The only exception is the gaseous state, i.e. two gases.
  • 26. Hydrocolloids  If the dispersion medium is water, the material is known as hydrocolloid.  Particles larger than those in solution.  Particle size ranges from 1-200 nm.  There is no clear line of demarcation among the solutions, colloids & suspensions. Gels  Colloids with a liquid as a dispersion medium can exist in two different forms known as Sol & Gel.
  • 27.  Sol- has a appearance & many characteristics of a viscous liquid.  Gel- is a semisolid & produced from a sol by the process of gelation. Gelation It is a process of conversion of sol to gel, to form fibrils, micelles of the dispersed phase which become interlocked to give characteristic jelly like consistency. Within the gel, the fibrils branch & intermesh to give a brush heap structure.
  • 29. Gelation Temperature  The temperature at which gelation occurs is known as gelation temperature. • Agar - secondary bonds (weak) hold the fibrils together- break at slightly elevated temperatures and become re- established as it cools to room temperature - reversible • Alginate - the fibrils are formed by chemical action - irreversible
  • 30.  The Gel may lose water by evaporation from its surface or by exuding fluid onto the surface by a process known as SYNERESIS. The gel shrinks as a result of evaporation & syneresis.  If a gel is placed in water, it absorbs water by a process known as IMBIBITION. The gel swells during imbibition, thereby altering the original dimensions.  The effects of syneresis, evaporation & imbibition on the dimensional changes are of considerable importance in dentistry, since any change in dimension that occurs after the impressions are removed from the mouth will lead to inaccurate casts & models.
  • 32.  Reversible hydrocolloids undergo transition from gel to sol on heating.  On cooling they return back to the original state. The hydrocolloid supplied as the gel is heated above its liquefaction temperature, cooled to a temperature compatible with the oral tissues & placed in the mouth. Gelation occurs as the tray continues to cool, after which the impression is removed & poured.
  • 33. Agar  It is a sulphuric ester of a linear polymer of galactose. • Gelation Temperature of agar is approx- 37˚-50˚c. • The temperature at which the gel changes to sol i.e. liquefaction temperature is 70˚-100˚c.  Although it is an excellent impression material & yields accurate impressions, it has been largely replaced by alginates & rubber impressions because- • Of the minimum equipment required • Possibility of obtaining metal dies from rubber impression.

  • 105. Simultaneous dual-viscosity technique • low-consistency material is injected with a syringe into critical areas & the high-consistency material is mixed & placed in an impression tray. • After injecting the low viscosity material, the tray containing the higher viscosity material is placed in the mouth. • Since both the materials are mixed together, they join, bond & set together. •After the materials have set, the tray & the impression are removed.

Single viscosity or monophase technique • Impressions often made with a medium viscosity impression material. • Addition silicone & polyether are well suited for this technique because both have a capacity for shear thinning. • When the medium viscosity material is forced through an impression syringe, viscosity is reduced, whereas the viscosity of the same material residing in the tray is unaffected. This behavior of the materials is referred to as PSEUDOPLASTIC.

This procedure is sometimes called a WASH TECHNIQUE. The Putty consistency materials & this technique were developed for condensation silicones to minimize the effects of dimensional change during polymerization. This technique was extended to addition silicones after their introduction even though their polymerization shrinkage is significantly lower.
