- Abstract
The article presents the results of a study about radiocapacity and color of elastomeric impression materials used in dentistry. A step-wedge configuration was used for the experiment and the model was duplicated using reversible hydrocolloid material and a refractory investment. The data collected for each impression material by brand, viscosity and chemical classification, consisted of densitometer values for six thickness of each impression materials, the chart of which is presented. The conclusions that were drawn from this experiment were that impression materials in easily seen contrasting colors should be used to minimize the possibility of missing tags which may be left behind.
