- Abstract
A recently introduced visible-light-polymerized elastomeric impression material was compared with an addition-reaction silicone impression material using laboratory tests and clinical evaluations. It was concluded that the physical properties of the light-polymerized material were acceptable for making impressions of prepared teeth, and generally equivalent to the addition-reaction silicone material. However, handling characteristics proved to be quite dissimilar. No differences were noted in the fit of clinical restorations made using the two impression materials, nor were any differences noted between the quality of dies and working casts obtained from either material.
