Abstract
Objective
Since there is no material in the market met all the ideal requirements of an impression material, thus in an attempt to find one, hybridization between the two most commonly used impression materials were done. The aim of the hybridization was to obtain a new material combining the good merits of both and eliminate their shortcomings. Thus, this study aimed to assess the impact of hybridization between polyether with addition silicone on tear strength and elastic recovery of the new material and compare such effect with regard to parent materials.
Results
A polyether (PE), polyvinyl siloxanse (PVS) and vinyl polyether silicone (VPES) hybrid elastomers were used in the present study. Tear strength was measured one hour after setting time of each material according to the manufacturer and the three materials showed statistically comparable tear strength in N/mm. Elastic recovery was evaluated one minute after the setting time recommended by the manufacturer. The three materials were statistically insignificant from each other, and all met the ISO4823 requirement of having greater than 96.5% recovery.
