Elastomeric Impression Materials | Part 2 | Dr. Rashmi Singh

Описание: 👋 Welcome, dental enthusiasts! In this deep dive, we’re exploring the world of elastomeric impression materials — the unsung heroes of accurate dental restorations, prosthetics, and models. Whether you’re a dental student, clinician, or lab technician, this video breaks down everything you need to know about the four key elastomers: polysulphide, polyether, condensation silicone, and addition silicone.

🔍 What You’ll Learn:
✅ Polysulphide: Discover its unique properties (flexibility, tear resistance) and why it’s still used despite its strong odor and long setting time.
✅ Polyether: Unpack its rapid setting, hydrophilic nature, and why it’s a go-to for precision in moist environments.
✅ Condensation Silicone: Learn about its affordability, ease of use, and limitations (shrinkage!).
✅ Addition Silicone (Vinyl Polysiloxane): Explore its unmatched accuracy, dimensional stability, and why it dominates modern dentistry.

💡 Key Topics Covered:

Material science: How viscosity, working/setting times, and elasticity impact clinical choices.

Pros vs. cons of each elastomer for crowns, bridges, implants, and more.

Clinical tips: Mixing techniques, tray selection, and avoiding common errors.

Real-world comparisons: Watch side-by-side demos of impressions to see differences in detail capture!

📌 Perfect For:

Dental students prepping for exams or clinics.

Practitioners looking to refine their material selection.

Lab techs aiming to optimize workflow based on elastomer behavior.
