[Influence of the type of impression material, impression tray and making impression technology on the dimensional accuracy and depth of impression material penetration into "gingival sulcus". In vitro study].

Results of the profound study of influence of the type of impression material, impression tray and making impression technology upon main quality characteristics of the precise impression (dimensional accuracy and depth of impression material penetration into gingival sulcus) are reviewed. Original method to investigate depth of impression material penetration into gingival sulcus on experimental model is described. The impression technology exercises more influence on quality characteristics of the precise impression than type of the used material and impression tray. Optimal combination of different viscosity impression materials with technology of making impression has been defined.
