The course is to acquaint students with principal properties and practical understanding of impression material properties. Students will evaluate the effect of mixing ratio on setting time of alginate and C-silicone impression materials, assess significance of colour change phase indication and its sensitivity to water hardness and mixing ratio. They will characterize detail reproduction (alginate, C and A silicone), dimensional changes of impression materials after setting and their accuracy measured on simple gypsum models. Participants will be provided with basic information on response of impression materials to stress and wil determine elastic (reversible) and permanent (irreversible) deformations as measures of visco-elastic properties of impression materials.
