Transcript of Elastomeric Impression Materials by Dr Rashid Hassan
Also called as Rubber Base Impression materials.
Elastomers are rubber like material with long chained polymers, slightly crosslinked & coiled having glass transition temperature much lower than room temperatures.
Accepted in dentistry to overcome 2 main problems associated with Hydrocolloids
Poor tear resistance
Poor dimensional stability
INTRODUCTION
Contain large molecules having weak interaction among them.
Tied together at certain points forming 3 dimensional network.
On mixing with a suitable catalyst, liquid polymer is converted into elastic rubber through addition or condensation polymerization reaction.
Stress application (stretching) causes the chains to uncoil and removal of stress relaxes the chains back to entangled state.
INTRODUCTION
1) Excellent reproduction of fine details (especially low viscosity elastomers).
2) Generally hydrophobic (polyether is hydrophilic).
3) Excellent elastic properties but incomplete elastic recovery.
4) High coefficient of thermal expansion.
5) Excellent tear strength.
6) Electroplating can be done (Copper or silver plated)
7) Shelf life is approximately 2 years (cool conditions increases shelf life).
GENERAL PROPERTIES OF ELASTOMERS
8) Dimensional changes occur.
Due to
a) Curing shrinkage.
b) Loss of by products.
c) Incomplete elastic recovery.
d) Amount of filler content
(less filler = more shrinkage)
(More filler = Less shrinkage)
e) Polyether (being hydrophilic) absorbs water & loose soluble plasticizers causes dimensional change.
f) Thermal contraction when transferred from mouth to room temperature.
g) Time of pouring impression.
GENERAL PROPERTIES OF ELASTOMERS

1) POLYSULPHIDE

a) Addition Silicones

MIXING SYSTEMS:
3 types of systems are available to mix catalyst and base thoroughly.
1. Static mixing system.
2. Auto mixing system.
3. Dynamic mechanical mixing system.
MIXING SYSTEMS FOR ELASTOMERS
MIXING SYSTEMS FOR ELASTOMERSSTATIC MIXING SSTEM:
1. Impression pastes are dispensed from collapsible tubes.
2. Equal lengths of catalyst and base paste are dispensed on a paper pad.
3. Initial mixing is accomplished with a circular motion.
4. Final mixing is done with broad strokes of spatula.
5. Final mix should be smooth.
6. Mixing is readily accomplished in 45 seconds.
All 4 types of elastomers are available for mixing in this fashion.
MIXING SYSTEMS FOR ELASTOMERSAUTO MIXING SYSTEM:1. Very popular means for
mixing catalyst and base.2. Base and catalyst are in
separate cylinders of plastic cartridge.
3. Cartridge is placed in mixing gun containing 2 plungers.
4. Equal quantities of base and catalyst are forced through static mixing tip.
5. The tip contains stationary internal plastic spiral to fold both the components over each other to get a uniform mix at the end of the tip.
6. The first part of mix should be discarded for a uniform consistency.
7. Mixed material can be extruded directly either into an injection syringe or impression tray.8. Intra-oral injection tips can be placed at the end of static mixing tip.
9. Material left at the tip gets wasted.(1-2mL).3-4 times less waste as compared to hand mix.
Silicones (both addition & condensation) and Poly ethers are
available with this means of mixing.
MIXING SYSTEMS FOR ELASTOMERSDYNAMIC MECHANICAL MIXING SYSTEM:1. Newest system.Catalyst and base are supplied in large plastic bags, housed in a cartridge.2. Cartridge is inserted into the top of mixing machine.3. A new plastic mixing tip is placed on the front.4. On pressing the button, parallel plungers push against the plastic bags, thus opening the bag.5. Material is forced into the dynamic mixing tip.6. Mixing tip differs from that of Automixing. (internal spiral is motor driven i.e. it rotates with speed )
7. Mixing is accomplished by rotation + forward motion of material through spiral.8. Helpful technique for mixing highly viscous materials.(Polyether and addition silicone are available for mixing with this system)9. Advantages are ease of use, speed and thoroughness of mixing.
10. Disadvantage is cost of the system.Slightly more material is retained at the
tip than Auto mixing but still less wastage as compared to hand mixing.
IMPRESSION TECHNIQUES FOR ELASTOMERS
SINGLE VISCOSITY TECHNIQUE (Monophase):
1. Often taken with medium viscosity material.
2. When forced through impression syringe, the viscosity decreases but when used with tray the viscosity is unaffected.
3. Addition silicones and Poly ethers are well suited for this technique.
IMPRESSION TECHNIQUES FOR ELASTOMERS
DUAL VISCOSITY TECHNIQUE
(Simultaneous or multiple mix technique):
Low consistency (viscosity) material is injected with a syringe into and around the critical areas and a high consistence (viscosity) material is mixed and placed in the tray.
Both materials bind, join and set together.
IMPRESSION TECHNIQUES FOR ELASTOMERS
PUTTY WASH TECHNIQUE:1. 2 step impression
procedure.2. Preliminary impression is
taken in high or putty consistency material before cavity preparation.
3. Cavity is prepared.4. Low consistency material is
syringed into the prepared cavity.
5. Preliminary impression is then reinserted.
6. The low & high consistency materials bind.
7. When low viscosity material sets the impression is removed.
Technique developed for condensation silicone to minimize dimensional
changes.
