title: Viscoelastic properties of elastomeric impression materials. III. The elastic recovery after removal of strains applied at the setting time.
abstract: A method of measuring the elastic recovery of impression materials after the application of a strain applied at the setting time is described. The results obtained using this method for a representative selection of impression materials are presented and discussed.
