  • Title: The effect of tray material and surface condition on the shear bond strength of impression materials.
    Author: Wang RR, Nguyen T, Boyle AM.
    Journal: J Prosthet Dent; 1995 Nov; 74(5):449-54. PubMed ID: 8809248.
    Abstract:
    This study compared the adhesive shear bond strength of three selected impression materials with that of thermoplastic and acrylic resin tray materials as a function of surface preparation. Polyether (Impregum), polyvinylsiloxane (Reprosil), and polysulfide (Permlastic) impression materials were evaluated on smooth, rough, and contaminated tray surfaces. Smooth surface samples were formed against glass and served as the control groups. Experimental groups consisted of samples contaminated with artificial saliva and rough surface samples that were abraded with 110 microns of Al203. A total of 126 samples were subdivided into 18 groups of seven specimens each. Each sample consisted of a 1 inch square, 3 mm thick mass of an impression material sandwiched between the prepared surfaces of a pair of resin plates. Each specimen was tested in a universal testing machine for adhesive shear bond strength. Data were analyzed with three-way analysis of variance and Scheffe's test. The results indicated that the thermoplastic resin material had better adhesive properties than the acrylic resin. For both tray materials mean adhesive shear bond strengths for Impregum and Reprosil were significantly greater than those of Permlastic. Tray surface contaminated with saliva decreased the adhesive shear strength at the tray adhesive impression interface.
