Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the demensioal stability and wettability of several rubber impression materials. Impressions were made from a metal master die machined to stimulate five full veneer crown preparations symmetrically placed in an arch form. Cast from impressions were measured about ; 1) intrapreparation distance 2) lower base diameter 3) length. For comparing materials were formed against a smooth surface. The advancing contact angle of a saturated aqueous solution of $CaSO_4$ on the impression materials was measured after 1 minute. Mean contact angle were calculated and results were analyzed. Results were as follows : 1. As the intrapreparation distance, hydrophilic addition-cured silicone had the smallest change and condensation-cured silicone had the largest one. 2. As the lower base diameter, traditional addition-cured silicone had the smallest change and polyether had the largest one. 3. As the height, traditional addition-cured silicone had the smallest change and polyether had the largest one. 4. As the contact angle, polyether had the smallest change and condensation-cured silicone had the largest one.
