The purpose of this study was to evaluate the physical properties of hydrophilic polyvinyl siloxane impression materials as change of material's storage temperatures. Working time, strain-in-compression, elastic recovery and consistency were tested according to ISO Standard NO. 1563. The results are as followed. 1. Working time decreased in cold storage. 2. Strain-in-compression was different in storage temperatures. Material's strain-in compression in cold temperatures were higher than in room temperature and in incubator. 3. A coefficient of elastic recovery varied by storage temperatures. The rate in cold temperature was the lowest and in incubator was the highest. 4. Consistency of impression substance different in storage temperatures. The extent in cold temperature is the highest and in incubator was the lowest. Statistical analysis(SPSS 14.0k, p>0.05) showed that storage temperature affect to material's physical properties. We recognized that the physical properties of polyvinyl siloxane impression materials were changed according to storage temperature.

치과용 인상재는 구강내에서 치아나 주위조직을 정확히 인기하여야 하며 조작이 간편하고 유동성이 충분하며 경화시간이 적당하고 값도 저렴해야 한다. 또 구강내에서 제거할 때 영구변형이나 파절되지 않는 충분한 강도와 크기의 정확성도 있어야 하며 자극이나 독성이 없고 인체에 안정성이 있고 모형재와 친화성이 있으며 보관중에도 변질해서는 안된다. 그러나 인상재는 서로 상이한 특성이 있고 장단점이 각각 다르므로 모든 조건에 일치하는 인상재는 거의 없다. 따라서 여러 인상재중에서 가장 적합한 인상재를 선택하는 것이 중요한 과정이다. 즉 인상재의 특성과 응용을 알고 선택할땐 보다 정밀한 모형을 얻을 수 있다. 기록에 의하면 18~19세기경에 최초로 인상용 왁스를 사용한 이래 19세기 중엽에 인상용 석고, 1925년에 agar, 1930년 ZOE, 1945년 앨지네이트, 1957년 실리콘, 1967년 polyether 및 1975년 부가중합형 실리콘이 사용되었으며 인상재가 유연성과 탄성이 있는가 경고하며 비탄성인가 또는 온도변화와 화학반응으로 경화되는 가에 따라서 ZOE paste, 인상용 석고, 인상용 왁스, 인상용 콤파운드, 수성콜로이드(agar, 앨지네이트), polysulfide, 실리콘(축중합형, 부가중합형) 및 polyether 인상재등 10여종으로 분류된다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare the volume stability depending on the mixing methods and storage time for the conventional alginate and extended-pour alginate. Materials and methods: An arch-shaped metal model was fabricated, and one conventional alginate and two extended-pour alginates were used to take impressions using different mixing methods (hand and automatic). 120 impressions were taken (40 per each alginate) and stone models were made in accordance with the different storage times (immediate, 2 days, 5 days, and 6 days). The models were scanned with a 3D table scanner and dimensional change was measured by superimposing the scan data. Using SAS 9.4 (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA), the general linear model and Tukey's post hoc test was conducted for statistical analysis (P<.001). Results: There was no statistically significant difference in the dimensional accuracy between two mixing methods, and the volume change was minimum when the stone was poured immediately in all groups. Dimensional accuracy showed a statistically significant difference between groups after 2 days of storage, and extended-pour alginate showed higher accuracy after 5 days of storage comparing to conventional one. Large amounts of volume change were showed at 2 - 5 days for conventional alginate and at 5 - 6 days for extended pour alginate. Conclusion: The mixing method of alginate does not affect volume stability. Although extended-pour alginate has better volume stability than conventional alginate for a long time, it is recommended to pour stone as soon as possible.

Statement of problem: Volume stability, microstructure reproducibility and fluidity along with compatibility with dental stone must be in consideration in order to use tissue conditioner as a material for functional impression. There are few studies concerning the influence of time factor in oral condition on surface roughness of the stone and optimal retention period in the oral cavity considering such changes in surface roughness. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to find out the influence of various kinds of tissue conditioner, its powder/liquid ratio and immersion time on surface roughness of the stone. Material and methods: Materials used in this study were the three kinds of tissue conditioners(Coe-Comfort, Visco-Gel, Soft-Liner) and were grouped into three: group R-mixed with standard powder/liquid ratio that was recommended by the manufacturers, group M-mixed with 20% more powder, group L-mixed with 20% less powder. Specimens were made with the size of 20 mm diameter and 2 mm width. Each tissue conditioner specimens were subdivided into 5 groups according to the immersion time(0 hour, 1 day, 3 days, 5 days, 7 days), completely immersed into artificial saliva and were stored under $37^{\circ}C$. Specimens of which the given immersion time elapsed were taken out and were poured with improved stone, making the stone specimens. Surface roughness of the stone specimens was measured by a profilometer. Results: Within the limitation of this study, the following results were drawn. 1. Major influencing factor on surface roughness of the stone model made from tissue conditioner was the retention period(contribution ratio($\rho$)=62.86%, P<.05) of the tissue conditioner in oral cavity to make functional impression. 2. In case of Coe-Comfort, higher mean surface roughness value of the stone model with statistical significance was observed compared to that of Soft-Liner and Visco-Gel as immersion time changes(P<.05). 3. In case of group L(less), higher mean surface roughness value of the stone model with statistical significance was observed compared to that of R(recommended) and M(more) group as immersion time changes(P<.05). Conclusion: We may conclude that as the retention period of time in oral cavity influences surface roughness of the stone model the most and as the kind of tissue conditioner and its P/L ratio may influence also, clinician should well understand the optimal retention period in oral cavity and choose the right tissue conditioner for the functional impression, thus making the functional impression with tissue conditioner usefully.
