All about Impression Materials | Dental Materials Science | Dr. Shaikh

Описание: In this video, Dr. Shaikh dives deep into Impression Materials, a crucial topic in dental materials science. We'll explore the different types of impression materials, including elastic and inelastic materials, and discuss their clinical applications, properties, and handling techniques. You'll also learn about the composition of these materials and how their mechanical properties influence the final dental restoration.

Key topics covered:
Types of Impression Materials: Elastic vs Inelastic
Hydrocolloids (Agar and Alginate)
Elastomers (Polysulfides, Polyethers, and Addition Silicone)
Working and Setting Time
Clinical Considerations: Material selection based on patient needs and procedures
Handling Techniques: Best practices for accurate impressions

This video is packed with clinical insights and exam-relevant details, making it essential for dental students and professionals preparing for the AFK, NBDE, or other dental licensing exams.
